I'm curious though- Aphrodite said "Aquarius moves away from blood relations and sees the bigger picture". This really applies to me- I've always really disagreed with the term, 'blood is thicker than water' (but, then, on the other hand... well, I won't get into that, or I'll ramble on forever *supresses Libra moon*). I'm not exactly fond of my family . Are any other people with Aquarian Venus' like this?

Without going into intimate details which you don't feel comfortable sharing about....

can you please give me as much insight as possible as to what the tensions seem to be between you and your families in your cases?

It might REALLY help me to understand this Aqua Venus friend of mine a lot more if you could please do something like that for me.

Thanks so much!

See, I've always had a very small family. My grandmother raised me, and my uncle kind of did too, but he didn't live with us. This never bothered me, and I was usually puzzled when people always asked me if I missed my mother (she passed away when I was a baby). I didn't understand how you could miss someone you never knew.

I think the main reason why I've never liked my grandma or my uncle is because they don't understand me at all, and they don't have the tolerance to understand me either. They're about as enlightened as a couple of potatoes, and the maturity of a five year old.

I love my grandmother, very, very, very deep down, but I never show it- for this reason, she thinks I hate her (she's a Leo- very melodramatic) most of the time, which just makes me dislike her more because she can't have enough insight to see that I don't hate her, and that deep down I am very appreciative of what she's done in my life.

In my family's case, actions do not speak louder than words. My grandma would tend to mentally abuse me when I was a child and we got into arguments. Words have a larger affect on me than actions, and I think this is why we never got along.

I was a bit of a rascal when I was a kid too, so I'm not saying that I didn't deserve anything I got- but my family never took the time to understand why I did what I did, and this is why I've never felt anything more than apathy towards my family.

Thanks a lot for your responses.

Perhaps things will improve within your family in time.

Randall....

If you don't mind, can you please be just a bit more specific about why you at least think you and your family might not be that close?

Like, is it that you and they simply have very different temperaments?

Different opinions?

Different outlooks on things?

Different belief systems ie concerning spirituality or religion?

Communication problems?

Did you feel belittled or devalued or disrespected by them in some way?

Feel 'left out' of the family vibes for some reason?

You don't have to go into any details like Everlong did at all, but it might help me to understand my friend a little bit more if I had more of a clue as to what they MIGHT be going through within their own family too though.

Can you just 'circle' any or all of the above items for me to nail your issues down to a more specific description at all?

Lol

Thanks so much if you think you can add to your reply just a little bit more.

I will admit, i have been in love with two people at once before, and given the chance at the time, would not have known who to 'choose'. I was never with either of them, i loved from afar so to speak.
So yes, i own up to that.. i guess you can say venus in aquarius could mean that person has the ability to admire more than one person at once. However, at least in my experience, this has never translated into betrayal.

I have also been in the situation where i had a new boy of my own, and one day i happened to come across this other guy i knew whom i was attracted to before i met my boy. he sort of reentered my life, and we connected well and were quite affected by each other (i feel i must have known him in a past life). i knew he was attracted to me, but i considered him a good friend. and he was a good looking guy, i still think so. i remained completely faithful to my boy, and the mere thought of 'more' occuring with this other individual just didn't attract me, because the simple idea of it happening was wrong wrong wrong. If ever it were to happen, it would have to be in the future if i was single, and yes, i couldnt even picture that. This is why.

When i am with someone - and yes, this even counts for the pricks that have lasted a week or less- i don't really want to see an end to the relationship. if they have got as far as passing the test to be with me (a near impossible feat), i want to be happy with them. i guess this is a loyalty thing. i can't do 'short term'. i might worry and think a guy won't want me after a while, thinking i won't last more than a certain amount of time with him.. but with the way i feel about him, as long as he treats me properly, i can even see myself marrying him. why look around if you are happy where you are?

i am also emotionally 'undemonstrative', which my mum (6 planets in water eek!) often complains about - i don't hug her really... i keep to myself. I stopped doing that stuff at a young age. I know it's sad in a way, but.. i can't help it, it's the way i am. my parents know i love them, it's just that i have issues showing it.
I am different with my significant other. I want to smother him with affection but my secret fear is that he won't like it and will think i am suffocating him. So i show affection maybe only half as much as I'd like to. i love to kiss and cuddle.
I want to be smothered too. I like the idea of beign posessed. a guy who gets jealous when it comes to male competition (not unhealthily so) makes me feel secure, wanted, needed. perhaps this is due to my scorpio ascendant. (Note: I would never flirt or give him a reason to be jealous.)
Freedom is nice, yes, i love the feeling of missing somebody, and that refreshed feeling you get when you are with them again and you havent seen them for a few (too many) days. A rest period from anybody or anything is necessary, as absence makes the heart grow fonder because you dont know what you've got till its gone (two clichés in one there!). But i like the idea of spending countless hours with the one i love.

Since "water" is associated with "emotions" I don't think adding water into a chart makes someone more "even"!

Evenly,
