Hello friends, I have been obsessing since my Aquarius broke up with me and now I seek your assistance as I try to understand this. He has Moon and Pluto in Virgo both opposite Venus in Pisces. My Pluto in Virgo was opposite his Venus and I'm the one who can't let go. It was so out of the blue I was stunned. There's nothing that would make me reach out to him but I need to understand this. He had Mercury in Capricorn and I just felt so comfortable with all that earth energy of his. I just want to understand why! I know there's a lot that goes into any relationship, this is a text book example of Scorpio's obsessive nature but please enable me and tell me if his Moon/Puto Opposite Venus could have had anything to do with it. Thank you

Oh wow. I am so sorry. I am familar with the feeling..I had a Ven-Uranus conj in Scorpio Lib Sun/Sag Moon ghost me. That was brutal .

Can I see both your charts?

Uranus rules his Sun sign and Uranus is prone to suprises. Most times uncomfortable ones.

I see a pattern with air signs doing this. Perhaps its a need for space and to gauge what is happening with them within?

Maybe they pull a disappearing act or spontaneously retreat for perspective by breaking up with the SO? Can an air sign chime in on this?

I have an Aqua whom is great at pulling a Houdini on me and then return to expect us to pick up where we left off. He also has Venus in Pisces/Moon in Virgo.

Perhaps this "break-up" with you is actually just a "break" to them?

I have an air moon and Venus, and as much as I would love to run and hide at times, I feel a responsibility to other people. If I were in a relationship, and something was wrong, I’d tell them. It might be difficult, but I can talk things to death if it’s really important. That doesn’t always help either, because if the other person isn’t hearing it/doesn’t care, communication doesn’t matter.

I’m sorry he did that. He should have told you why, even if he doesn’t know why. The main thing I’d take from it, is that I don’t need that kind of person in my life, who would just abruptly cut things off, but it still hurts, even when you know it isn’t going to work out. I love earth moons, I know what you mean about their energy. But I’m related to a cap sun/mercury, and she can just cut you off. She can be really cold out of nowhere, too. I’d be puzzled as to what I might have done, but it was rarely about me. I don’t like the coldness, when it strikes. She has Venus in Aquarius, opposed Saturn.

Thank you both. Aries23Degrees, I can't figure out how to post the charts or I would. To be honest, I'm so 'desperate for insight I'd email you or just post our birth details. My obsessive behavior is not something I like either, it feels out of my control. This has been just consuming too much energy. I know the it's the best. He has a lot of professional demands and said it was because I wanted more from him than he could give or something along those lines. He is heavy Saturn and actually so am I, which I never quite realized. God I hate people like me. It feels so week and rather pathetic.

You can post yout birth dates. And don't beat yourself up about it as your obsessive tendencies is a way for you to understand and deal with what is happening.

Sometimes we have to write our own ending because tbe people who are supposed to give us closure, don't have the emotional awareness or wherewithal to do it.

Its going to get worse before it gets better. I know the obsession you speak of and it is part of the grieving process.

Try therapy too.

I’ve been there, and I hate the feeling too.

I wish we had the ability to send private messages here.

Teasel and Aries23Degrees, thank you for sitting with me in this muck. I'm going to post the dates and I would love your thoughts. This guy was an intriguing paradox and we had crazy incredible chemistry (to be honest that may account for my biggest attraction) but I want to understand it. I knew we weren't going to last, he was a little one dimensional in some respects but wow he made me feel adored, I might have needed that or at least my Leo Mars did. He had a lot of earth energy and I think Saturn too. I think it was his Pisces Venus that just made us so in synch when it came to, well, comfort aspects. My guess is that it was Uranus that created the hard and fast connecting but honestly it was he who drove that. I kept trying to slow things down but in the end I couldn't resist him. Then boom, he's saying it's not going to work out, which I suspected to be honest. But I did think we could enjoy a longer ride. I had the same birthday as his ex wife but she was 10 years younger than me, so I think he has a pattern. Anyway, I sincerely respect both of your insights and would be honored and extremely grateful for any help you could provide to understand this relationship. xoxo

Your ascendant is in early Scorpio and I see that his Saturn/Sun/Mars is in your 4th house and Venus is in the 5th.

So I can see why it feels so painful as Saturn tends to make us feel bonded to the person for better or worse.And with Mars also in your 4th, he brought both ecstasy and intimacy to you.

Both Mars/Saturn are difficult to have in a natal chart for a native.On the one hand the native wants to go full speed ahead(Mars) but Saturn comes along and negates all that by slowing things down considerably.

Now with both in aspect to Sun, he blows hot/cold. And with Moon in Virgo, probably imagines all sorts of reasons as to how/why something is not likely to be successful.

Virgo moons are prone to obsessively think problems into being and with Moon-Pluto conjunction, there is a lot of momentum banked on "what could go wrong" thought patterns.

He also has Neptune in aspect to all his personal planets(save for Jupiter). Chiron-Venus are conjunct in Pisces. Is there self-delusion or living too much in lala land?

I see his Neptune sits in your 1st and you also have Neptune in your 1st. I can certainly get the appeal. Neptune can definitely have one thinking that the connection transcends the physical to it being close to downright "divinity".

You are NOT seeing him clearly and perhaps that is how he presented himself? Because I get the feeling that he doesn't see himself clearly either-which makes knowing what he wants consistently challenging.

I think its morr confusion and a swing of back forth emotions(Pluto-Venus opp) that has him behave this way. And add to that the Saturn/Mars/Sun that wants to limit sentimental contact.

He has North node in Cancer(interestingly). And perhaps he recognizes a need to be vulnerable but keeps on putting up a tough face? Can't be sure as there are defensive walls up(Pluto-Moon).as well as pain coming from relationships with others and fear of being blindsided(Ven-Chiron Pisces).

I am not sure all of that is any of your problem really. He may change his mind about the abrupt breaking off from you. Some regrets especially when the extremes of emotions settle.

But don't hold your breath as he may be too proud to let you know he has those regrets. So its best to give him the space that he insists he needs.

My dear Aries23Degrees, you hit the nail on the head and as such have been an incredible help understanding this so much better. God bless you! I'll give you the crazy Scorpio side of this. So it must have been the Neptune influence combined with the Venus Pluto opposition because that connection was like no other for me. Something felt almost mystical indeed. Initially he was calling and texting constantly. He was almost like another person (hot then cold for sure) as the relationship went on. I think he does have issues with self-value and being good enough. You'd never know this by looking at him. But the weird part is I felt like I 'saw' his potential and it was beautiful. I must stop falling for the potential and go with what is at hand. But he had an authentic sweetness to him that I loved. I knew we probably wouldn't last but the draw to him was unexplainable. My obsessive Scorpio went straight to "what's wrong with me, what did I do wrong?". Do you hear that people we Scorpios believe it is us who is fatally flawed we can be a devastatingly sad lot so please be kind. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your insights have been so amazingly helpful understanding this situation in a more neutral way and also the broader astrology component. Wish I had what you have

So if I can slip back into crazy for just one last moment: Do you think there's any way I could let him know the door is open to him or is this the kind of guy who must be the initiator?
xoxo

That is such a Libra thing to say (your Venus) lol as Scorpio would be too overwhelmed with emotions and cut their losses without even thinking of salvaging anything-nevermind maintaining relations.

I have Mars in Libra/Venus in Scorpio and I understand your need to do this. So with his Mars/Sun/Saturn in Aqua, he may oblige.

But be sure that this is indeed what you want and keep it that way. Don't build bridges only to later hope for "more". It may backfire on you if he treats you as a casual acquaintance and pursues other suitors in your face.

His Saturn on your Sun is definitely a bond (for good or ill) So perhaps maintaining this relationship also serves that purpose? Saturn interplanetary aspects can feel like a marriage even when it's not.

I also see that there was likely a bond based more on intellectual rapport and communication etc. Than pure passion. This when we consider his Mars in Aqua to your Venus in Libra.

I asked myself why there would be such a connection between a double Scorpio and an Airy Aqua with an analytical Moon in Virgo?

Such is possible if the Scorpio has air planets (and such is the case with you). Your Venus in Libra,Saturn in Aqua and North node in Gemini grand trine in air(even when not in perfect aspect)

So to you, mental rapport is EVERYTHING. Neptune in 1st(his) and yours just exacerbates the euphoria to a point where it feels like the connection is "out of this world".

Now your chart comes together for me. That Jup in 7th has you project the "intellectual powerhouse " or "guru" to someone else etc.

So you are an intellect at heart as Moon/ Merc conjunction in Scorpio shares Moon in Gemini traits.

But you are comfortable being the learner or student with all the questions.And then look to someone else (Jupiter in 7th) for all the answers.

Look at how your Chiron in 5th house of romance aspects Uranus by square exact.You are looking to be intrigued, inspired and invigorated.

But you are also yearning to find like-minded people and are searching more for friendship in love than pure sexual love.

Perhaps you have been very lonesome or have struggled to find those with whom you connect with in a deeply meaningful way (Chiron in Pisces)?

There is a sense of wanting to belong or establish a bond with those who catch your drift etc and it always does not necessarily meaning romance may result in the union as is the case when Uranus is involved (Uranus can be non sexual when in 5th or in aspect with a 5th house placement)

Follow this thread to your Venus right on the cusp of the 11th (friends and sense of community and 12th house(isolation) in non sexual Libra.Could the heavens be any more clearer?

I see your 3rd house cusp of intellectual curiosity is in Sag and dominated by Cap.The cusp of Sag/Cap ime (having the Sun there) is when one is born with a curiosity to explore (Sag) but conditions around them are austere or unsupportive.

In your case,it could be that you may have felt restricted or unable to express yourself because you either had no audience.Or the people on the other end would think your ideas "weird","foolish", "far fetched" or perhaps they are too "narrow minded" & conservative to understand them or be supportive.

You are looking for friendship & connection. This is at the core of your emotional wellbeing (Ic in Aqua with its tradional ruler Saturn there). That is why this bond with Aqua is so heartbreaking to you.And why you want to find ways to salvage it.OH...

Notice also how North node in Gemini is in your 8th?Intellectual rapport,eloquent speech and mind stimulation are ways that you get all hot and flustered (turn ons) not to mention "intimate".

The mind to you is the sexiest object of the body & perhaps this Aqua was "well endowed " enough to "stimulate" it?

It's OK to see people in an idealistic light. So long as THEY see themselves in that light too.

Well, this is my version of speechless. Reading your post I recognized aspects of myself that I had never connected or understood how it played out in my life until now (as much as one can see themselves at least). The grand trine in air, however loose, may explain why I keep attracting Aquarius and my shadow-self helps me understand the disdain I always had for 'them'. Reading about a Scorpio Sun Gemini Moon sounds more like me than my own natal combination. I could go on but how dull. I have one question for you that haunts me and I would very much like your honest opinion on this. When you looked at the two charts do you think he cared for me? I don't mean this to sound arrogant but men have always been attracted to me for my appearance. It's not a good thing. It feels very objectifying and shallow. I can't move forward in my life in a relationship like that again but these are the relationships that I'm drawn to. I want to remedy this and have always thought knowledge is power. It may be purely sentimentality but I really want to know if my (latest) Aqua guy valued me for who I was not just thought I was attractive. I'm sincere when I ask for brutal honesty so please, if you reply, don't sugar coat this. Thank you.

Hmmm...its tricky to say. I have this theory that Love opens up and is protective, maintains the flow, is warm and giving etc. None of those words describe his actions.

Fear(which is what I suspect he has) runs away, closes off, interrupts,breaks down, defends itself etc. and this is the story that he telling to you "I could be loving some of the time.But I am always fear".

It is hard to fall inlove on the whole as it means we have to stay true to what our heart wants. And this means being consistently vulnerable and letting the other know what is going on below.

Right now he is resorting to defensiveness & separation (juvenile states of being) which to me says he doesn't feel ready for you.

So you should ask yourself how he felt about you based on the entirety of the relationship Especially seeing that it was developing nicely until the brakes were abruptly applied.

If he loves you,it won't matter if you don't feel it.But I see someone who is not loving himself(to start off with) as how we treat ourselves can be no different to how we treat the people we love i.e the people we love, inspire us to be better and do better for ourselves because we want to feel "deserving" of them etc.

So with him there is a lot of back/forth that you won't help .It's not your battle.Even as you may love him dearly, he is resistant to it as much as a scruffy toddler is resistant to a warm bath.Leave him to sort himself out.

Oh yes and in as far as the looks thing is concerned, that is your "wobble" that you came with through from a bad past experience to this one i.e in that you carried over the residue of your past relationship being unsatisfactory because you felt "used" by a superficial person etc.

Can you see how the bar was already lowered for the Aqua? You were already wounded by the past wobble and this state of feeling "worthless" became the definitive focus upon which everything hinged on?

This Aqua had to only assure you that you were "more" by looking past your looks for you to feel validated i.e "thank goodness that he sees I am more than just ....[fill in the blank]" or "He appreciates me far from the physical.."etc.

But of course he should(as is supposed to be with everyone else).Dont forget that.So what about whether he is good enough for you? Does he treat you well? Is he consistent and open? Does he want commitment? Etc.

Or were the above glazed over because you were flattered that someone looked past the physical with you? That's how I think you lowered the bar and that is perhaps why there is yearning for him?

I suspect that it is not necessarily him that you want, but his "essence" i.e "There are not many guys who are going to connect with me the way he has" Or "not many guys will be able to refrain from being "distracted" by my physical appearance" etc.

The Saturn in Aqua square to your Mercury in Scorpio and Moon has you convinced "there is not more where that came from" or "such people are rare" etc.

But I am here to say that people who are willing to treat you as highly as you treat yourself are not "rare".But they need to take the lead from you.

So if you are convinced that love is "rare", any old Tom can come along and do the bare minimum to win your heart over. Be careful of such a mentality and celebrate your own beauty.

I don't see beauty as an "impediment" to being loved but a complementary part of it ie. We enjoy the people we feel in love with. It's not meant to be a "distraction" for the person who has it to "work" to minimize in order to be taken more seriously etc.

Yes granted there are those who look at the physical and get completely engulfed to a point where they think they are "inlove". And it can certainly be hurtful for a person on the receiving end of that "love" to not know which is which i.e are you loving me for me? Or are you loving me because of what I got?

But let this not get in the way of recognizing what is true from what is temporary ie. Someone who loves you or cares for you is always protective,gentle,warm, appreciative
and attentive of you. They are enamoured by ALL of you and never objectify you.This is true.

Someone who wants to see you "twirk",makes you feel "cheap",never listens to you,calls you only when they want sex,touches you inappropriately all the time (even as you insist on them how uncomfortable that feels),thinks you are "totally hot" but knows nothing about you etc.is temporary.

I think we tend to feel'used' in relationships only if our self-worth was on the floor at the very start of it.As I'd also feel very 'dirty' & 'used' for instance, if I was the "Welcome" mat at the entry door

Your words were exactly what I needed to hear and what I possibly ignored when my own instincts voiced something similar. Thank you. First I think you nailed him, "I could be loving some of the time.But I am always fear". This was something I sensed from the start and even though I didn't think he would be able to "hold my attention" for much duration, you were spot on that I glazed over it. He sure did hit my wobble and I glazed over a lot. It was the essence as you put it. This is a pattern that I've been trying to break and I'm not sure that I saw it at play here until you made me. Thank you so much. There was no reason you had to offer so much to me but in a time of need, you did. I've gat to tell you, I hoped you would respond when I initially wrote this post-thank you for coming through! I could never have imagined how insightful or pivotal you would be in this journey of my personal evolution. Funny how the Universe works. I hope that some day I can repay the favor. Sure wish you lived on the same continent. I could spend countless hours listening to your perspectives on a variety of topics. Just so much in your posts that I keep going back to, that I have to go back to and see myself mirrored through your lense of perspective. Thomas Merton seemingly described my own life journey when he said we take three steps forward and two back. Mine is a slow path. Thank you again!

Did it take ALL of your restraint not to respond?Or were you indifferent?

Respond only when u feel indifferent imo. That's when you have someone out your system.

It pretty much took everything to be chill. There's no doubt in my mind that you nailed him. So what do you think someone with a chart like his goes through? I mean it was so random that he says he's thinking of me when I think there's no relationship that would actually be enough to keep his interest.

In my opinion, it is tempting to have someone's attention and then keep that person's attention on your own terms. There is a lovely sense of "control" over the other person there.

When you find the other person difficult to control however or they no longer put you as the object of their attention.Then you can do what you can to get back "screen time". Even pull out all the stops (try to seduce the individual through flirting and being suggestive etc)

Let him initiate everything and go along with it only on your terms.And watch for consistency.The issue here is that he may go back to being the same ol' same ol'.
