What you just said makes the most sense out of all the things being said about the Aqua/Pisces ''dance''... It is not a ''game'' where anyone comes out above the other, it is like painting, all the emotions being put out there, kept inside, thrown together and taken away again, but the end result is something quite beautiful and worth all the sweat and tears... Just my opinion though. Also, in Love Signs, Linda says that Aqua has lessons to learn from Pisces, and perhaps the pride gets in the way when it comes to us actually admitting that... but hey, I tell my Pisces friend all the time how glad I am to have met up with him again at this point in my life, he is teaching me a lot , and I will be forever greatful for his lessons, intentional or not...

..and yeah, about the aqua withdraw...cool with that
interact then i withdraw...cool with that

...yup, that's pretty much how we get along. Quite nice actually. No pretentions and no expectations, something that is very rare.

We both should understand each other, you'd think - our moons are both in air signs - mine is in Aquarius, his Gemini; both our Mercs are watery - mine is in Scorpio, his is in Pisces; and Sag and Aqua suns are supposed to be compatible...So what's the problem you might say? Not really anything except he's more than a tad bit slippery in nature...as I mentioned in another post, he also has Venus in Pisces and will disappear even when he's in the same room with you...funny, I can see it happening in an almost tangible way - he's going one direction in a conversation and can make an about-face in the same sentence and go right in the opposite direction with lightening speed.

He can play head trip games and very often impose his own insecurities upon me, accusing me of something he's guilty of, and so on, but my own instincts with him on the head trips, is that he's mentally detaching from me (and sometimes likes to be annoying on purpose)for his own self-protection against falling too deeply in with me. The love is there, I won't deny, but know his love of freedom is much more important to him, so he keeps a safe distance.

He DOES NOT like to be out of control, not sure what motivates that, especially for someone who needs his space and freedom so much.

The man is capable of extreme tenderness and understanding - WHEN HE WANTS TO. This last comment I have to emphasize and is very consistently true to his Aqua nature - he does only what he wants to, and makes it very clear to not expect anything else.

For my own peace of mind - I really need to go fall in love with someone who isn't so irascible. It's not that he's hot-tempered, it takes a lot to get him really angry, but is very definitely moody and VERY opinionated - even about subjects that he has no right to donate an opinion to. Even he admits this. Funny thing, though, as irritable and opinionated as he is - he's so popular and has tons of friends.

This Aqua man is very definitely with emotions and has depth - he's an avid reader of the Dalai Lama, among others and can be very philosophical. It took me a long time to not let his sudden detachments upset me, in particular after we had just met (I've known him since last March) and you kind of expect the man who is romancing you to be, well, romantic, or at least ardent MOST of the time. It did take him a long time to kiss me, and even then I had to initiate our big first kiss...Before I understood him - he would be just that: romantic, and then act as though he were flipping through a book at Barnes & Noble, considering if he wanted to buy it nor not...very frustrating for me, since he was the first Aquarius man I had ever been involved with and had absolutely nothing to go by...

Very hard for me and my impatient, impulsive Sag nature to not bolt out the door at the first frustration (there have been many with him, believe you me). I'm definitely learning with an Aquarius to trust what I cannot see, and to detach myself. I would have been out the door loooonnnggggg ago, but something definitely keeps me from doing just that.

I need to have our charts interpreted professionally - we must have huge karma or something that keeps us in each others' lives. Any other man I've either told to take a hike or it dies out on its own.

I have a fairly good memory when it comes to what my friends say, but when it comes to my crush, I will comes back hours, days, weeks, months later and speak volumes about a particular thing he mentioned. I want to know what he thinks.

What I'd really like is if someone could create a thread on Pisces. I'm really rather intrigued and would like to know what being a Pisces is like from a Piscean perspective. I want to understand them but it's like they won't let me. LOL.

You know- I think I know exactly the Aqua game you might be on the recieving end of.
They're going to revoke my membership for revealing this secret:

-Aqua girl meets hottie boy and wants him very much. Too much. Uh oh.

-Aqua girl plays very hard to get.

-Toys with hottie boy because she's secretly afraid she's falling in love with him.

-Aqua girl tells hottie boy to get lost and that she doesn't want him.

-Aqua girl finds other boyfriend that she's less afraid of, and flaunts him under hottie boys nose.

-Hottie boy blows a gaskit, gets drunk, and calls Aqua girls house to say all the meanist things he can think of.

-Aqua girl is very cool and detatched in the face of his fury- which only frustrates hottie boy all the more.

-Aqua girl is only pretending to be cool. She is secretly smiling on the inside.

-Aqua girl hangs up the phone to do happy "he loves me" dance across her living room.

If we can frustrate you to tears, it confirms and that we make you feel just as out of control as you make us feel.

That's why we sometimes smile while you're screaming at us hysterically.

One day, I'm going to tell that hottie boy I'm in love with him.

But not yet.

Oh my! That's all I'm going to say....

On the evolutionary journey through the Zodiac, one must go a long way before arriving at the hard-earned emotional detachment of an Aquarius Sun. These people have a very special part to play in the human drama. What appear as weaknesses in the arena of personal relationships, are superpowers in the arenas of objective reality and world affairs. This ought to be remembered whenever we are tempted to criticize Aquas for not being Cancers or Leos (or one of the other eight less-evolved signs). Rather than demand that forward-thinking outer-planetary types devolve to meet our backwards inner-planetary agendas, we might consider evolving to meet theirs. Likewise, asking them to transcend Uranus is a bit much, when you consider that we are not even willing to transcend Venus!
Just some things to consider.

My Moon is in the last degree of Aqua so I think that still counts as Aquarian moon, My Venus is in Aqua too and Asc in Libra. I am an earth-air type, not a great mix but .. I am what I am :) dealing with it.

So, I just wanted to say the following. My mum repeatedly said to me that I am cruel! And this is only because of the way I express myself. Cool, detached and logical in my thinking and communication, for watery types like my family, I am not easy to understand. I just wanted to say to everyone else who thinks we Aqua-influenced people are cruel, WE ARE NOT, we simply prefer to hadle things with healthy logic, intellect and objectivity rather than emotions, impulses and rashness. And that doesn't mean we don't have feelings or emotions. We are humans too, you know.

But I guess the reason for this is just that I am really scared of feelings, that they can overrun me completely, and so I tend to try to keep them under control, at least outwardly.

So, if I am a typical aquarian here, I think they are not as cool and detached, as they appear to be.
