I have Uranus trine Sun so I can handle Aqua suns just fine, as long as you tell him he's a genius he will love you, but you have to believe it. But the Venus drives me crazy.

It's kind of depressed, so he will go through weird depressions, the ones I know drink, medicate, or just get moody and depressed. And that's what it is, it's not an emotion, it's just depression.

I have been the hottie who got steamed up and called and yelled at the Aqua. Only I don't think Venus in Aqua likes that if there is an interest in someone else. Since I don't like to fall into a trap, I usually wait until the man is involved with someone else,

then I call him or come by and rant,
that bugs the Venus Aqua much, much more, so I am competitive as well.
Combine Aqua with Aries in one man and you have a depressed, but angry mess.
All I can say is look at Russel Crowe, Aries, right? Then think of an Aqua, combine the two...
and you get to be a babysitter or else keep him drunk or on meds all the time.

In the above case I realized I could be with him, but only if we were both drunk every night. I have a lot of Aqua and Aries in my chart too, but I don't medicate due to the Neptune.

the Aqua I know now loves to self medicate, he is looking for the perfect pill. Most people think Pisces is attracted to drugs, but I find Aquas do more drinking, and medicating than any other sign, and are willing to experiment with anything, anytime, which is hard for me to know about. You can't tell them anything. But I believe this is a combination of the Mars/Uranus energy, maybe too much Venus too.

my current boyfriend is moody, yes, but he is a million times more loyal and earnest, so his venus in aquarius seems more to be about loving everyone, and flirting, in a mild and much more innocent way. he does have a fascination with drugs, tho (just the natural ones), and tho he doesn't do any now, i do worry sometimes..

me, i quit aries. my ex (as previously mentioned) was an aries moon, as well as south node (and venus aquarius). very selfish little boy.. and combatative.. [not that any/everyone with those placements would necesarily be that way; that is his choice..]

first thing first... i believe aquarian men and women are very different. this is just from personal experience. i get along great with all waterbearers on a friendship level, but in relationships, aqua men give me the heebie jeebies... i feel bad typing that out, like i'm selling out my brethren or something (lol), but sorry boys, IT'S TRUE.

ok... as far as emotion... i am extraordinarily emotional.. i just don't believe emotion is very constructive or practical in most situations. i feel that in 95% of situations, if i can remain as detached as possible... the outcome will be better. i don't see the point in falling apart or blubbering incoherantly and making others feel uncomfortable or being the least bit ridiculous in any situation (heheh... cappy moon makes me conservative and somewhat austere and libra rising loves harmony and diplomacy... so you can see why i feel this way, haha... its not just aquarius). also, aquarius is a fixed sign and when we fall in love, we fall hard... i have to get back to work so i can't dig up exact quotes, but someone else said that when we say "i love you" we mean it, but it doesn't mean we wanna commit nor does it mean you are the only one we love, hahaha... i had to giggle about that. i have given "speeches" in the past where i go on about how much i love someone, but i love them "just beca and i don't want anything from them, i'm not trying to make any promises or be with them or tie them down or tie me down, but i love you so, so much and i just want you to know! *sniff, wipes away tear*

LOL! That is so Aquarian of me, I have to laugh. The water/earth signs got angry/confused when given this speech, the Air signs smile in understanding and reciprocate and the fire signs just smirk mischieviously... because they're thinking... hhmmm. you love me like a friend NOW... but I am so irrestible and charming and suave, she'll fall soon i mean, how can she not? i'm effing awesome, dude...

hahahahahahaha. i'm thinking of leos in particular with that.

also, what leyla said... our emotions are raging under this veneer or uranian detachment. but really, it's a pseudo detachment. and yes, i get a kick out of infuriating my bf... i NEVER play games and do it on purpose, but i feel a tingle of warmth secretly come over me when he's ****** off and jealous about me, heheh... of course, i never let on... but, i like it. and i feel the same. i just don't show it so much.... because it's just not how i conduct business dammit!! (see the cappy moon, libra rissing paragraph above, hehe)

Well, I haven't read everything and I can't speak for every Aquarian but this is how it is for me. I'm an Aqua rising, Sun, Mercury and Venus.

Feeling really, really, really wanted immediately freaks me the hell out. I would rather that a person at first gets to know me intellectually, acts cool and calm, listens and chats with me. The whole Mary's little lamb routine disgusts me. Just be my friend. Be charming, be witting, have your own world to explore. Let us meet each other halfway.

Now onto the emotions. I don't particularly feel like a cold person. I just think that I react to things differently than others do. When people die, I don't go sobbing about it and pining about it all over the place. I reflect, I philosophize, I realize that it's the for the best, and then I become nostalgic, but to myself. I really don't need a shoulder to cry on. I don't cry in front of others about anything because I feel that my tears are for myself. Sometimes i cry when I watch a sad movie. Sometimes I can see something so beautiful that I'll feel completely moved to cry.

You both expressed exactly the way I respond to scary emotions to a "T", only I couldn't seem to dig up the right words because I'm an Aqua moon, and tapping into my emotional world isn't as easy as it may be for some...so the words don't come so easily. They're more like vague, watery instincts.

Thanks for so elequently decribing how Aqua experiences emotions. We find them downright scary and threatening to our peace of mind, and philosophy of life. My Aqua moon is also an air singleton, so I think it takes on more prominance in my chart because of that.

Um, yup... pretty much what Lynx and Aquarian Girl said hits home for me too. Aqua sun/merc/mars here... and I must drive people absolutely batty with my up and down emotional state... or what I show them of it. I think that for me, when I feel something, that second, I say it. But it's not like it's going to be that way five seconds from now. I don't know how to explain it, but what cynicalpsychic said:
i'm always the first to say "i love you" and i fully mean it...but it doesn't mean "i love you and only you and i want to spend the rest of my life with you."
is totally true for me. But it's not that I do it on purpose, it's not a conscious 'lie' or misrepresentation, I truly mean what I say when I say it. Committing is one of the hardest things for me to do, the world is so big and there are so many things in it I want to see and taste and explore... most men have not been able to deal with this, and their possessiveness, wether intentional or not, has left me running for the hills.
One thing that really bugs me is when a man tries to tell me how I feel, or what he thinks I should do, or when they blackmail me with ''okay, run and hide Aqua girl, you know you're going to anyways, go ahead and hurt me like I knew you would...'' that doesn't gel well as I am the type that will do the opposite of what people tell me to.. not sure if that's an Aqua thing, or it's more from my Aries rising... but man, I hate emotional manipulation of that kind, someone thinking they have me ''all figured out''. Mate, don't even try... I don't even understand myself most days.

I think the reason that we seem 'detatched' is our ability to be objective in pretty much every situation. If it's my relationship/friendship or someone elses, I can always see both sides. I'm certainly not one to stand on anyones's side of the fence, I'd rather be the mediator and take in all aspects of a situation, to try and understand where all parties are coming from. I know I usually end up being the 'voice of reason' for a lot of my friends, showing them why person A feels a certain way, and why person B feels the way they do, and how both points are valid, therefore nobody 'wins'... it must be that equality thing.

And yes, I treat everyone pretty much the same way in public. When I'm alone with my partner, they know how I feel about them, but at a party, or somewhere that a lot of people will gather, I am all over the place. I flirt with everyone the same, nobody gets any special treatment from me, not even my love. It's okay when the person understands that and can deal with it without getting too jealous, but if they have even a hint of jealousy in their bodies, it will really tick me off. I'm just being friendly, ya know? Physical touch means nothing more than hello to me, now if I was being mentally stimulated by someone else, to the point of total infatuation with that person, then they can be upset, when I'm not 'mentally' there anymore.
I think that friendliness/flirtation can confuse a lot of people, which I do feel bad for sometimes... but it's just the way I am. I don't mean to make people feel like I want more than friendship from them in most cases, I'm just a chatty flirty girl with everyone....

I think that's about it for me... take heart kids, we do feel... we just feel silently most of the time.

i have a friend who is triple aqua and she is extremely sensitive but hides it well, she feels things like i do...right in the heart. though all the repression led to a breakdown resulting in her been put on medication....and pyschotherapy.

i have a lot of aqqua friends. the decan of cancer im in indicates an eccentric personality, so i guess thats where we attract each other; me and my water bearers

i have noticed they cant deal with other people's emotions. one of told me the other day that she is never up for hearing my problems cos she doesnt want me to bring her down. i always thought this was a superficialicity thing, but i understand better now.

and my peeps are sooo concerned about what people think, and despite a mass of confidence, i see they need a lot of validation for who they are.

my essential cancerian nature has benefitted a lot from being friends with them; i appreciate their logical take on events and it truly does get a bit too much to emote all the time. its draining and can be a tad boring.

it has really changed me cos i have like one water sign friend the rest are aquas and cappies, largely. i am much more aware that i shouldnt speak about trying things in socila occasions for instance, cos no matter how light it may seem to me, my merc opp. neptune ensures it comes out heavy and i feel so much better for it cos i just want to be a source of pleasure to people including myself.

I am an aqua sun/rising with moon and venus in pisces and in private i am an emotional mess.

i dont want to make you cry though. lol

My mercury is in aqua too!!

Everytime i read what Lynx posted it chills me to the bone. I just went thru the EXACT same thing with the taurus guy. He wanted me so bad from the get go that i found it hard to believe he was being sincere, but it seems now he really was. He's gone though.

it's so interesting, cuz i identify so much with every thing the aquas are saying on the one hand, and with the ones frustrated with us too! i am taurus moon, cap rising and have a lot of piscesness in me too.. so i am super-emotional and possessive while at the time irredemptively cerebral and rebellious. i am sooo lucky that my cancer/pisces/taurus boy grounds me and keeps my emotions steady and flowing.. he is safe, so i can be my weird self (which he loves, being so weird himself), and at the same time, true to my feelings.. so nice to breathe and swim in both worlds!!

Oh, Mama Mia, you would just hate me. I have six air planets... virtual haven for 'emotion free' living... lol

ok then, so i'll believe my messy emotional self has not as much to do with my chart as it has to do more with unresolved past issues which i'm steadily working on. =)

I am kinda of going through that. Closer to it being over though. My lst boyfriend (baby Daddy) Was a Hot mess I let him take me through alot so when I finally walked away and had no desires to be with him anymore I thought I was okay. Well when I got with this Aqua guy that I am seeing now I realised the I had not at all healed made myself look like a emotional. Well part of it was true bc of my Pisces sun. But the other part was due to this toxic relationship that I had been in the past five yrs.

Well I am better now believe that I found myself being aggressive with this Aqua guy cause I ws not secure in the relationship. That is not me at all. I love my freedom I have my moon. merc, and venus in Aqua ppl with those planets in those signs usually deal in relationships lightly. We love our freedom. But again bc if my past and not healing it was making me crazy and not trusting anything. So Aquarian girl that may be whats happening with you. Take sometime sweetie and do some soul searching you will be okay.

Ghanima I am learning how to deal with your type. My Aqua friend has 5 air signs in his chart no water. He is flighty as heck, but what Irealize is the more I leave him alone the better it is he reaches for me and that I like. Plus he tries to hide his emotions but I have figured which buttons to push when I want to see his emotions. Had I not learned all this yeah I would be not liking you Ghanima... :-)

See what i'm saying? You said i sound like a sweetie and are trying to help me. That gave my heart a tug and i got misty eyed,i swear.

But your post also made me laugh, omg, your baby daddy was a "hot mess". LOL!! i'm sorry, but that was hella funny to me. I sometimes feel like a cold mess. lol.

I am healing and talking to my family a lot and also i just got my complete birth certificate which made me SOOO happy! After years of trying to find out my time of birth i finally feel closure and a new beginning in understanding myself. I always tried to understand my boyfriends but not myself. This is changing and i am so happy.
