They also don't get very emotionally involved with others (i.e. with the personal problems of others). They are sympathetic/nice - but also detached.
The more perfectionist you are - and the more you expect people to meet your version of the way they *should* be... the less likely you are to maintain friendships.
As time goes on, absolutely everyone shows their true colours and their clay feet.
The only way to maintain friendships - is to keep a reasonable distance from the person - not get *extremely* close.. and not feel extremely bothered by their brand of 'issues'.
Something else Aquarius does well is - they can be optimistic (like Sagittarius) and focus on the bright side, the positive things about people...
I'm saying this to you - because having an Aquarius NN, these are personality traits that would be challenging for you - and that you need to learn more about in this life.
I'm in a similar boat, having NN in the 11th house.
With Leo SN and Aquarius NN, there would also be a shift from being the centre of attention (Leo) - to being able to work well in a group, towards a common goal (Aquarius).
Because the ruler of your NN - is in the 6th house of work (and in an earth sign).. I would say these issues would come up even more so with co-workers. You were saying on your other thread that you have problems dealing with them...
Often people are placed in challenging situations in life - when they have to learn to adapt by applying their North Node traits. I feel like this is what is happening with you.
My advice would be to adapt by learning to be much more emotionally detached from your co-workers... and nice in a less "involved" way...
You have a lot of water in your chart - and it's great that you can be extremely empathetic and kind with your friends and family. But in some settings, like work.. (and also when it comes to just networking or maintaining acquaintances) - it's really better to be more detached.
Maybe it's just subconscious that I have always looked up to Aquas then… I enjoy being friends with aquas, cause their style of dealing with people is inspiring to me - cause that's what I also need to learn. I have had many aqua friends through my life, but it's hard to maintain a close friendship with them… one of my best friends is a cap sun with aqua venus though. She is very inspiring and though we rarely discuss deep feelings, we have a nice bond, and she is definitely one of the persons that I have learned a lot from, in order to become more detached and group-oriented!
It makes a lot of sense to me now!
