I do have a bit of air in my chart, so I can understand the distancing oneself from emotions and not wanting to be too mushy, but I don't understand the whole not being able to understand how someone doesn't know how they feel or how to articulate feelings?

Aquarius - cerebral, highly opinionated. If they decide to NOT feel for something or someone, you can be sure they won't.

Gemini - changeable with those emotions, they can bounce back and forth between two things to avoid feeling real depth of emotion. Geminis don't like to be tied down. they like to spread their feelings, however superficial, wide.

Well, I mean, not every person can pinpoint exactly WHY they're feeling the way that they do. Sometimes people just feel and don't know why. It's that "why" factor I think that trips air signs up.

Other times air signs intellectualize and overanalyze their feelings to death that they don't really "feel" or experience them, if that makes sense. There was this one scene in Hey Arnold, of all things, where Phoebe was basically intellectualizing her emotions without really expressing them, and I think that perfectly demonstrates perhaps what some air signs do when they get emotional.

There can also be the factor of them growing up in an environment that emotions are looked down upon and keeping a "level head" was praised/upheld as the ideal. Therefore when they do experience emotions it's strange. They're supposed to be "above it" and when they aren't, it's weird and hard to articulate what they're feeling because they were never allowed to articulate their feelings from the beginning.

I don't know, just some thoughts.

Agreed! Very well said.

No kidding.

Personally.. I have Uranus in Aquarius, Mercury in Gemini, and my ascendant in Libra..( not saying I am air dominant.. Just saying what I have in the air signs lol)

When I feel things.. I tend to ask myself WHY I'm feeling them. If something offends me I ask "why does that offend me?" I tend to try and take my emotions as deeply as I can and find out what it is I can learn about myself through my emotions.

The thing is, I also have a hard aspect between Neptune and the Moon..

-Of course, this may come with the fact that I have a certain amount of anxiety disorders- but, there are times where I DON'T understand where my emotions are coming from.. Or, why I feel the way I do. I think emotions are like that sometimes. I think sometimes it is hard to understand why something makes us sad, or why it upsets us, for example. Of course, that goes to say, there are also people out there who are highly empathic and are unaware of this ability. This can leave them with emotions that are not theirs, and this can be very confusing for the individual. Sometimes, I wonder if this may have something to do with some of the emotions I encounter. (Not to say I am extremely empathic.. But, I really am not sure to be entirely honest.) Also, I believe sometimes some of our emotions, or our emotional responses to certain situations span from experiences before this present incarnation.

Emotion is a complex thing,

I could understand psychopathy somewhat associated with not feeling ANYTHING.. But, I don't think that is the problem air-heavy people experience. I think the problem they face is that they rationalize and use logic more often, and have a hard time understanding their emotions because sometimes they go beyond simple logic. Emotions, as much as some don't want to admit, are NOT always logical.

...and, I guess it could be said, when a person who works mainly through logic cannot work out their emotions WITH logic, it may become a very confusing situation for them. Especially when they generally rely mostly on logic. Anyways.. The problem is not whether or not someone is logical.. It is whether or not they allow that logic to ignore all other people's emotions involved.

Even in saying such things, an extremely logical person more than likely still is emotional to a certain degree too. The thing is, they are probably going to spend more time trying to find a way to use their emotions for their advantage, rather than letting them override their thinking. That only strengthens the confusion when they aren't able to understand their emotion.. Because, then they can't use it for their benefit, or the benefit of those involved.

EDIT: (to make a conclusion to what I was saying...) I think what is ideal is a balance between logic and emotion. I don't think that is an easy thing to achieve though.. But, I believe that is partly because we as a society see them as two completely opposite things, not being able to function with one another. But in my opinion, that isn't the case. I don't believe it HAS to be one or the other in the simplest sense.

As a Gemini sun (with Gemini mercury), I often need time to process the emotions of others. As an Aries moon, I easily feel people's emotions; but understanding them in great depth takes me a while. I have to uncover every layer!

My best friend is a Gemini sun, Libra moon, Gem merc, Virgo mars.

My ex wasn't good with being all mushy, he expressed his feelings in a matter-of-fact way and that was that. He was better at showing it through physical things. Dates, gifts, showing up/surprising me during random times, and while i was happy with that, I still wanted to hear some sweet talk lol I remember one time I told him he was the cutest guy I've ever seen and he said: "What???" and I repeated myself, to which he said, "I don't understand why you're saying that."

Umm what? He was put off by displays of emotion and when I told him one day that I wanted to cry, he told me that he didn't want to be anywhere near me if I do. Granted, he didn't leave, and I didn't cry. But still, weird, and even though this happened in April.. I still don't understand why air people act like this.

Anybody who lacks the capacity to feel is psychopathic, regardless of signs.

Air ppl do feel. Water void ppl do feel or understanding feelings.

I believe it's because some air folks tend to operate on a mental level only...
Hmm... strange that you mention it, I think that behavior is only present in about 15-25% of air fellas(?) ...

So when, you say: ~ You're the cutest man in the world...
Or: You are the nicest person in the world.
Or: Your are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen

Air folks would be like: ?????
Because somehow it is not true.
• Because it can't be true.

It's like saying: ~ The only and living God, source of all living things had come once upon a time to an specific territory, then founded a Religion, and it wants you to be loyal (and give offerings) only to him. If you are from Asia, Africa, South America, Mars or Andromeda and/or do follow any other cultural teachings, then you don't love the only and true God, and you'll be punished with lava and fire.

~ That can't be true.
Because it just can't be.

Same if you see one day, a beautiful and colored bird, flying through the blue sky.
And you say: ~ Oh, that bird is the most beautiful in the world.

Probably, it won't be true.

Ok, I tried my best to explain how do a super highly-uber cerebral mind operates.
~ Yup, it's kind of difficult... the positive side of this, is that They/We (lol) represent a very small minority... *cough* *cough* lol
( But please, don't get mistaken, we are not prone to allow negativity in ourselves, we are not 'bad',toxic or oppressive.
Actually the 'density' in us, tend to be very low )

So,
What would be my advice?
**************************************************************************************************

Don't hate and... if you do really feel a strong 'tension' with the energy previously described...
~ Find a person that fits better to your own nature.
It's the most wise decision
It's also healthy for you, and that, my friend... truth in fact is
