I definitely agree with you that PLUTO is an important planet for you. What is your chart ruler though?

The whole not letting your girlfriend have male friends is protective and an instinct that I get but try to calibrate it. For example, I have two guy friends that I have known since I was born and they are like family to me and nothing romantic will ever happen bt us, I respect their relationships and our feelings for each other are pure and linked to our childhood. I recently made a friend at work and we talk a lot but he is not my type physically and a lot older but we really click as friends and is completely 100% safe for me to be friends with him, it will NEVER turn to something else guarantee. However if you see your girlfriend has a friend who is hot and met recently then yes watch out and discourage this friendship.



Uranus is my chart ruler. I get what you are saying but I don't think I could ever be comfortable with my partner having close guy friends. Maybe i'm an oddball but I'm usually either romantically interested in a girl or not interested at all. I guess you could say I compartmentalize people, guys are potential buddies and girls are potential lovers. Thats just the way I am, so I have a hard time understanding people who need opposite sex friends. Plus I know how most guys are and that only adds to my disapproval of the whole thing.

Well I respect completely what you are saying but that is a VERY Taurus and Scorpio way of thinking. Aquarius typically gets that both men and women have friends of both sexes but bc you have moon in Taurus and a prominent Pluto that makes you possessive and jealous.

I have venus/mars in leo and I am protective and jealous but leo instinctively also understands that romances happen and come and go so I am protective but dont prohibit friendships with the opposite sex (I check out the friend first and make her my friend too) nor would I end a marriage bc of an affair automatically, I would calibrate the situation first, talk, discuss and decide together how to move forward. I am jealous but not possessive or controlling (venus in leo but 7th house Gemini, Jupiter in sag chart ruler)

But I get that you need that extra security bc of your moon in Taurus, 7th in leo and strong PLUTO and that is fine but you are at least a bit possessive and controlling but perhaps your uranus influence keeps it under control for the most part, we are all different.

I think you would go well with a cancer/scorpio/taurus type of girl!

Interesting chart you have and you are not odd...You must be a lot of fun.

Aquaguy91,

You don't seem to be typical aquarius. Most aqua men and women have plenty if opposite sex friends.

Forgot to add, its because we dont like being messed with, your either loyal or not, we dont put up with bullcrap, we want relationships for the long haul that will last into the future. Plus im a sag sun/merc I want honesty.
Also once im done with you, im done, ill forgive but i wont forget how you made me feel. Ill be your friend, but dont expect me to be warm and loyal, i wont be the same.

I think our controlling/stubborn side is to remind us of who we are, we dont want messing around, we just want honesty and loyalty.

The aquarians I knew were more demanding than controlling. Like if they wanted to go to a smoothie place there was no way to talk him out of it he would demand that we all go together. He would also order meals for me or make plans for me without even asking me if I wanted it which I found very irritating. Other aquarians I notice they will be very open to your ideas but they will never change their own ideas, they will consider yours but they will always remain true to themselves which can be a bit annoying at times when their individuality gets in the way of compromise.

I struggle with some.

Taurus, Leo, & Scorpio are all directly and nakedly controlling.

With Aquarius women, their men have this feel of a piece of property, or a captured animal you dare not get close to without permission.

I vote for yes. All the fixed signs are stubborn and controlling, against-the-grain Aquarius limits their domineering to romantic relationships.

Just remembered something about the depressed Aquarius and how she could be really stubborn.

I was watching White Oleander and could only read part of this (in red Cyrillic in the suitcase, it shows up especially well at 3:11):
http://youtu.be/N_aJSttAslo?t=3m4s

She thought it was Greek! I said no way, the second word was definitely "mommy" (Russian), and I could read the first word as well it's just I didn't know what it meant. Given that she could speak Russian a lot better than me she pretty much dismissed me (to be fair she wasn't sober at the time and her eyesight sucks, my accent was atrocious and I probably didn't say it right when I read it to her, and the "small-l" in the suitcase does look more like the Greek--and she was exposed to most Greek and Russian writing in the Russian Orthodox church rather than any formal schooling--so she may have assumed it was Greek for that reason).

Convinced it was Russian I asked others (including a guy raised in Russia) and sure enough it was Russian, not Greek. And it was confirmed for me, it means "To my dear sweet mother." And that made sense in the context of the movie (that suitcase was a tribute to her Russian foster mother) in addition to my being able to read the second word to recognize it as "mommy."

But Ms. Aquarius insisted she'd know better than me and that the others were just humoring me or even making fun of me...bottom line was, she said, it was GREEK, not Russian. Luckily, I found her stubbornness on this amusing, and luckily for her I decided to humor her as it wasn't important, I'd simply wanted to know what it meant.

Yep..Idc how much popular astrology definitions make aqua suns to be all about freedom, every single aqua I've known was a control freak and that includes my ex-bf, two of my best friends, 1 very close co-worker, and 1 boss, all very controlling. They might be all very "independant" when it comes to them, but imo it doesn't work the same way when it comes to the rest of people, no matter what they say.

Stubborn.

controlling- that would go against their humanistic beliefs.

One can not be independent and controlling.

Lehia, if it's not personal, would you mind giving specific examples of how these people were controlling?

agreed. aquarians might be "humanitarians" or whatever you'd like to call it, but it will be on their own terms, and if you don't like that, they'll cut you off. they're very much into themselves and their "uniqueness" or whatever special "ideals" they have.

I also think this may be due to capricorn's close proximity to the sign, a lot of people end up having a few placements in capricorn and this can definitely color an aquarian differently, more controlling etc. An aquarius with more pisces influence tends to be a bit more lax and easy going with others.
