Its been about month since I had an Argument with my Aquarius friend.

I've moved on and don't really care anymore what we were arguing about.

I called her back just to say hello and she's exactly at the same place where we ended the argument.

She's already raising her voice trying to convince me of her point. I keep to my original stance, but stay calm about it because I've moved on to other things.

So there I am extremely calm thinking I've got better things to do. I say to her I didn't call to argue and then just politely ended the conversation.

I apologize if I upset anyone...

I notice this with the other fixed signs, they will keep on the same argument and the same points until they convince you there right, even if you've found holes in there argument/points.

I notice this with Leo and Scorpio, they will go on and on until they look ridiculous or sh*t disturbers.

As a Scorpio, I admit I'm guilty of this.

If you look how long the fixed signs hold grudges, you can see how stubborn they are:

1. Scorpio: all of the eternity.
2. Taurus: until they die. maybe not even then.
3. Leo: until the end of time.
4. Aquarius: a year.

Aquarius always process information, they will slowly considering your words if it is said with objectively and with logic. Avoid being so subjective and so emotional, Aquarius will be stubborn and needs more time away from you.

I have a Taurus mars and I am guilty of this.
Once I'm angry it's virtually impossible to make me change my mind if only for the sake of not giving in.
I know the other is right and it doesn't matter. Im telling myself that I haven't lost as long as I can keep refusing his opinion.

Taurus is fixed earth. They default to stubborn. It takes effort for them to change their mind. I find bribing them with food or backrubs to be somewhat successful.

Scorpio is fixed water. It takes emotion for them to remain stubborn, but they've got it in spades to use. Don't make it about emotions or they'll be set.

Leo is fixed fire. They are stubborn if it becomes a point of honor or pride to do so. The key is to never make it about those things. Once there, they would choose death before dishonor.

Aquarius is fixed air. As a mutable air Gemini, I admit that Aqua baffles me a bit because "fixed" and "air" just sound oxymoronic. But there they are, fixed intellect. I don't know, appeal to their sense of how things "should" be?

As an Aquarius sun and mercury, with Pluto and Mars on Asc., I can hold to a point of view til the death, unless I am faced with undeniable evidence to the contrary.

This is not because I automatically assume I am right, I frequently find myself, and admit that I am in the wrong.

However, there are some situations where I know for a fact I have completely dismantled the whole situation and rebuild it a thousand times, and if I have come up with the same result, then it takes the same level of analysis to make me budge.

I don't come across many people who are willing to put in the same level of analysis to understand something, I have no doubt they find me utterly stubborn.

I was just talking about this!

Yes.

I have Leo Asc and Aquarius Mercury conjunct my Dsc.

My husband is a Leo Sun with Mars/NN conjunct in Aquarius, on my Dsc.

We are ridiculous to the point that we have to laugh at ourselves.

We do this absurd "dance", where we're constantly finding holes in the other's methodology or ideas, but as soon as one person agrees and comes over to the other person's "side", the other person will start to take the opposite stance.

It's like (in my mind's eye) we do some sort of idiot rooster dance while walking towards each other, and then finally find a place in the middle where we meet and agree on whatever it is.

Our son is a Taurus, and we may have another Leo on the way. Our family is ridiculous, but hilarious.

I'm the same way! Try to tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing and I'll do the opposite. I wouldn't say I hold grudges for too long when it comes to a fight with someone close to me. I do need a lot of time to analyze it and sort out how I feel about it which could take time and if someone keeps pushing then it just makes it worse.

My advice is just to leave her alone until she contacts you. Aqua's don't like needy or clingy either, I'm sure you're not being that way but after a fight the last thing we want to do is talk to you or pretend like it didn't happen. She'll contact you once she has enough time to process it and get over it.

I have noticed this more with cardinal, as well, since the Uranus-Pluto square happened. I am more inclined to hold onto things now, and I know a Libra who doesn't seem to see her own mistakes.

I do notice this more with people who have fixed signs in their personal planets, though. I can let most things go, and I'm more mutable than anything. That isn't necessarily the better way to be, though. I think I sometimes let things go too easily, so the situation repeats itself, until it's something that can no longer be released/ignored.

Aqua and Taurus two of the most stubborn, yes, but Leo? NO. The only time a Leo will do that, IMO, is if it's a moral issue. They don't see things in black and white the way a Taurus does. They see the bigger picture. Truth is everything to a Leo. It may just be that you can't follow their thinking but we do admit when we're wrong. I do it all the time. Just don't shove my face in it or goad me. Then I might dig in. LOL.
And we are very forgiving as long as we see you get it and you're sorry. There are exceptions...If it is something utterly malicious and evil and we are convinced that's your character then we're done with you. That's true but ordinary disagreements are forgiven all the time.

I figured enough time has gone by, I've forgotten since I'm busy with other things.

when someone keeps repeating the same points, it's because they dont think you get it.

It's not so much about whether things logically make sense or whether you can find a hole in their argument. You can always find holes in people's arguments, but that's your gemini perspective. Fixed signs want you to respect them as they are and understand their points of views based on principles. Biases/conviction/preferences are what allow one person to pick one thing from another.

So if you just ignore that and think in your head that there are so many holes in this person's argument, he/she is not gonna give up making that point to you.

You have to acknowledge that what works for the Fixed sign native is the system they set up and if you keep on ignoring and disrepecting that system, you are upsetting them and they will drop you sooner or later because there's nothing long-termed about someone who does not get our principles.

But that's were the fundamental flaw is with fixed signs. If there defending wrong or outdated principals/practices.

I'm sure everyone had heard about the Orlando shooting.

Well the Orlando Shooter, Omar Mateen was a Scorpio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Mateen.

I hope all us don't agree with his principals, I know I wouldn't.

Fixed signs may not realize there stand once its too late and in the case of Omar Mateen he obviously went to far.

Yes, they are stubborn.

The ego (Sun) here is stubborn, or fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).

Oh definitely! I would dare to say, the extent of their stubbornness depends on how many planets and angles are "fixed". My mom has a massive stellium in Aqua born in '62...Sun, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, saturn and rising. Her moon is in taurus...completely fixed. This woman can be straight cold when she feels like you have crossed her...however, it takes ALOT for her to get to that point. But once she is done, that's it, no one can convince her to change her mind until she is ready, if ever. But, she loves like nobodies business. She is much more forgiving towards friends, than family. She won't ever make the first approach to make ammends, and she won't give the time day if you approach her...with the exception of her mom and the few falling outs they had, it took her years each time to even take that step. Now with me, she doesn't do those things, I am one of the few she will open up to and bring honesty to the table, even when she is wrong. I don't know why this is, but I have Aqua on the descendant and jupiter so I approach the Aqua nature without causing them to throw up the wall.... maybe she feels safe to be herself with me. Emotionally she is very hard on herself, especially when she finally does admit her faults. I am pretty fixed as well, I will admit, with only one personal planet in mutable Gemini. I AM quite stubborn, but more in a prideful way. I will admit when I am wrong...mostly, but it is a hard hit to my ego, I can't lie. If you rub it in that I am wrong, all bets are off! Lol...I'll just leave it be, along with you. Just accept that I admitted, and move on...I'd rather you not keep diverting my attention back to it, haha. Moving on to my brother, very fixed earth. Once he digs his toes in...forget about it, he's not budging! He admits no fault...ever! And he will find an excuse for everything...wrong or not. IF he does admit fault, it is a fleeting moment, and if you bring it up at all...he'll retract that admittance in a heartbeat and he ain't lookin back. My house was crazy growing up, tons of stubbornness and aggrivation. Lots of fights, followed by silent treatment...then more fighting because of silent treatments. My poor sister has a lot of Sag, she just couldn't hang, and the times she tried to get in the middle of it...she retreated quickly, back to staying out of it, lol.

I am not talking about a shooter. That's extreme. But really, it still applies. Fixed signs are stubborn. You either take it or leave it.

If several people tell that fixed person that he/she have x,y,z qualities and drop him/her, eventually the fixed person will react by being angry or will change their way of life. But it always takes a lot for a fixed person to change. And change happens by the fixed person constantly debating with others about what happen, not dropping it like Sag/Gem/Pisces.

Once something clicks and points to them where the exact hole of their logic is, then they will change. But if they still keep debating with you, or have not dropped the issues, they either think you dont get it or they realize they still dont get it.

Precisely.
Especially the "once something clicks". Until and unless they realize it on their own, they won't be convinced by 'external' entities (i.e. people, books, what-have-you). That agreement has to come from within. Total conviction takes total effort. Changing the 'total conviction' also takes total effort. So they won't be in a hurry to change/mess with what they're convinced, on a much deeper, maybe even sub-conscious level, is their truth. Taurus may not say it out loud to himself everyday, "I need security. I need a roof over my head and I need to know where my next 100 paychecks are coming from, just to feel borderline comfortable. Who cares about frills when you can't pay the bills?" They may not say it in as many words, but it becomes an abstract philosophy that guides them in decisions, big and small. You won't get more than a grunt or a grim look if you ask them their reasons for such-and-such action or decision. But in the background, this is what's being processed. -- Ditto for the other three. Each with their own philosophy, of course.

Point being, convictions are fixed, and they're deeply rooted in the psyche. Convictions including certain patterns of behaviour as well (how they should/would react in any given circumstance). However, that does not mean they can't be reasoned with or won't come around to seeing some other point of view.

There's a different 'key' to *reach* every person, not just the fixed signs. You've to find out what speaks to them and say it/show it that way.

Yes they are that stubborn. Fixed signs can and do change, but the key is they will only change if they want to and BY THEIR OWN WILL and anyone or thing that tries to change or force them to change will meet with the stubborn opposition that the Fixed signs are so famous for. Fixed sign placement afflictions are ingrained beliefs that have been built over lifetimes and are very much more difficult for them to change than afflictions in other modalities.

Fixed signs will change when they see how the change will be beneficial to them and when they want to. But never change for the sake of change.

You are correct about gem/sag's they will drop things quickly and there are times when those two signs could be more firm as a fixed sign.

For example going back to my Aquarious friend there have been times when I've told her you should have just walked out instead of trying to argue to the end, its not worth the time and effort.

....then the inverse she's said to me you should have just stuck through the course in the end, instead of dropping it. Half the class didn't do well and the final exam was made easier.

One of my scorpio coworkers goes on about different things... I think shes over zealous and several people have told her to let things go...
