I'm a little repulsed and annoyed by it actually. Why so emotionally cold? Where's the affection? Let me give you some examples... I know this one happily married couple, they never argue, probably because he's a Capricorn, and in typical Cap fashion he represses everything while she gets absolutely EVERYTHING her way. Not that she's a handful or anything, but still, she annoys me. Part of that is that she's so emotionally distant & expresses emotions only when someone gets physically hurt... or if she would get verbally attacked by someone, she can't stand being yelled at. Starts crying in 3 2 1. So anyway, she is more affectionate towards her stupid cat than than her Cap husband, who by the way is the exact opposite of her, he's melodramatic, cheesy and pretentious. And you can tell he hates that cat, lol. I would too. Another wack-job of an Aqua chick loves her dogs more than anything else. Why do you always focus your emotional life to the extent of obsession, on cats and dogs rather than human beings? Are Aqua chicks capable of showing affection to their husbands and boyfriends, or does one have to be inacapable to talk back in order to get some lovin'? Your approach to affection is very methodical, along the lines of "I am with you therefore I must obviousely like you." Aqua moon/asc people are equally repulsive in their inability to show affection. One of them said she was "repulsed" and "embarrassed" by the thought of showing genuine feelings. Ugh.

I dunno I think it's a maturity issue, I love people, I have no problem expressing genuine love for someone, I love to hug my friends, I love to socialize and I kiss my mom on her cheek, hug her every chance I get, she's a leo so she love affection as well, I think it has to do with our charts and our upbringing but this could be said about any sign I suppose. I do feel Aqua's have that emotionally distant cold thing down to a science but for me it was a matter of happiness, genuine happiness and love for self not only supports me but it supports everyone in my inner circle as well. I feel most Aqua's have that phase in his/her life were they are just completely disconnected to other human beings, completely immersed in his/her thought process and tend to ignore others pain, discomfort and miss out on what's going on around them but some of us grow out of it and some of us don't, it all depends on the person.
I agree with what tiki says. With me the disconnect comes & goes. When im 'feeling' its all love & warmth, but stay away from me when im not in the unfeeling phase. Luckily i found sumone who understands my extremes. Now, wheres my cat? * ignoring husband while searching*
Ok guys, the couple are in their 50's so they are not my "friends". They are in fact happily married, so it's not a trust issue. Seriousely, bringing up trust issues in order to justify an emotionally cold nature is the oldest excuse in the book! Yeah, people who feel that they cannot trust someone will act cold-ish towards them, that goes for all signs. But I'm more fascinated by Aquas need to put love on a leash rather showing affection and earning love back.
You say an animals love is unconditional; an animal never betrays you? Hmm, and that's a good thing?? Let's think about it for a while... an ass-sniffer incapable of critical thinking or rational thought, an animal you keep on a leash and boss over for all of their lives, never betrays you! Wow, really.... to you that rings TRUE LOVE? I'm sorry to burst your bubbles, but an animals love is not unconditional, it loves whoever puts the food in their bowl. It is "conditioned" to love you!
Excuse my bitter tone.. And yeah, the Cap guy is a total pussy. But it seems to be the ingredient in a successful Aqua relationship, that the guy has to be a pussy. And I hear you. Not ALL Aquas are like this, but the few ones I have in my life are. More so than others.
Posted by aquaj Maybe your friend's just not physically attracted to her Cap? That's the danger when you marry someone solely because you respect their intellect, you may not want to touch them all that much.
True. They don't have a very sexual relationship but I know they love eachother. They have a lot in common, they never argue... so it seems to be working for them. Actually I'm glad to see there are married couples like that, sex or no sex.
Maybe we dont need to be loved coz we love ourselves already & we expect others to love themselves enough not to crave constant adoration. Ever thought of that?
So you don't need to be loved by anyone else because your love for yourself is enough? lol Is this one of those radical, innovative Aqua ideas? 'Cause I'm not impressed...
I was not meant to impress. If u seek love from sumone else instead of giving it to yourself then the problem is not with the other person, but with u. If sumbody loves u, they are going to be with u, but it doesnt mean that they should chant love every second. About animals, animals deserve more love as they dont know how to speak or express whatever negative emotion they may feel.
Plus if u had enough self love, u wouldnt need validation by being loved by sumone else. Moaning about a person showing little emotion towards u or sumone else is a sign of lack of self love (low self esteem).
Don't give me that self-help crap, that's not what I'm talking about and you know it! So everyone should just be loving themselves and don't give a crap about others. I wouldn't want to live in a world where a person doesn't need me to express my devotion and adoration for them. What are you, a robot? About the animals being unable to express themselves; spoken like a true Aqua! As long as there is not expression of feelings it's heavenly bliss, right....
Posted by WaterCup Plus if u had enough self love, u wouldnt need validation by being loved by sumone else. Moaning about a person showing little emotion towards u or sumone else is a sign of lack of self love (low self esteem).
That...just...sounds...stupid! Wow, the stupidity of some of the shit that can come out of an Aqua mind will never cease to amaze me! And you're supoose to be the enligteners of the Zodiac :-/ Self love and being loved by others are two different things. They are complementaey. A normal human being needs both. If you say you don't need adoration, appreciation, devotion, affection or validation from others then there is something seriousely wrong with you up stairs. Only a narcissist or a psychopath would reason like you!
Self help books are there for a reason, their use is not only to decorate book shelves. The other thing is that, like fingers (or whatever) look different, so do ppl. If ur showy with your emotions, the next person isnt- thats where the different strokes/different folks saying comes in. If we were all the same then we wouldnt be individuals, it would have been boring. A robot is pre-programmed, im an individual i love when i feel like it, if i dont feel like it tough to sumone who expects a robot that shows love on cue.
Ahh damn, I'd so love to get some feedback from you about the "self love and being loved by others" argument, especially since Aquas are light-years ahead of my stupid affectionate Leo-reasoning with your 'every man IS an island' concept.
But that's my point. So you mean the world to your dog... what does that in itself say about your character, that you are able to get unconditional loyalty from a being that is unconditionally loyal, lol. What an accomplishment....
Yeah, but being able to express your feelings towards another human being builds even more character than, oh let's say loving a dog. I can't believe we're actually discussing love of animals in a post about expressing feelings. Pretty much sums up what's wrong with this world. Anyway I don't doubt Aquas are capable of love, I'm just saying that your unwillingness to show it is extremely annoying.. On a sidenote, you're very practical to keep around the house. Most Aquas I know are more handy than their husbands!
Hahahahaha! *this is laughter of frustration* It's not about whether you care about someone or not, it's about whether you show it to them. If you'e gonna ask me WHY SHOW IT IF THEY KNOW IT, I swear to God I'm gonna blow my brains out right here and now!!!!! So if you're married to me, I shouldn't need you to express affection since obviousely....ehm, you're married to me......so I know you love me.......and...... plz help me translate that into "normal people language". I'm a Leo, btw.
Aquas make great FWB though, so it's not all bad. And don't insult me by calling me a tiger, I'm the king of the friggin' jungle! What's your sign btw? I think I forgot to nominate you for a DXP award... ;D
im sorry that repulses u lol. ur a leo n i know constant adoration and praise is a necessity for u guys so i can understand y u'd b so bothered. if n e thing, that bothers me but then again that's y wer opp signs. so u'll probably hate me too. i am icked out my emotions sorry to say but just to share my pov, all i can say is idk y that is n it's honestly not personal. i just know the topic makes me feel uncomfortable n i know its weird n can be offensive to more of the sensitive types but it's just something i cant help. it's a reflex to move away or push them off me. i mean i can hug n hold hands for awhile but too much of it just feels too suffocating. like how much affection does someone need to know they're loved? i feel like the constant need of affection comes off as too needy and clingy. we might as well be siamese twins i know not all aquas here r emotionally distant like the stereotype says, n maybe that's due to certain diff signs in their chart or their upbringing who knows, but that label def applies to me. so we don't like mush -- so wut. ive found some sagis can relate to me tho n i think mayb we're like that b/c we're such independent signs idk. but yeah, that's my 2 cents

@eleven..i feel exactly like u do. U have a scorp moon, right? I'm also a lunar scorp with 3 other planets in scorp. Its great to have sumone to relate to, i feel judged all the time coz i cant be what ppl expect me to be. Will never alter myself or change for nobody. Love me as i am or leave me, thats my motto. The world is full of fakes, when ur real they stick u with labels- psycho this, psycho that. Oh well..

yeh I got aqua sun, asc, merc, venus, and scorpio moon.....I used to not understand my scorpio moon and i resented it but I love it now I think it complements the rest of my aqua placements because scorpios are outspoken and i like people who speak out and it also explains why i look for passionate inspirational moments in life which is so much more important than being in a relationship with someone who cramps ur style and tries to take ur limelight....I really do love the unique placements that make me and its all about rocking what the good lord gave you.. I know what I'm like in relationships and all I want to do is fight and make them the bad guy and my friends the hero. Doing the complete opposite of what ppl want me to do gets me off cos im sick in the head..... Hmmmmnn....is the reason of this topic for me to apologise for my behaviour or make me feel bad that ur not getting enough attention?

Nobody is responsible for another grown up person's happiness, full stop. If ur not getting worshipped & ur in dire need of that then leave, no use bitching about it. Not everybody has time to stare in your eyes & feed u grapes. If having other things to focus on other than displays of love is psychopathy, then im one proud psycho right here. And i REFUSE medication! Still NOT talking to u enfant terrible.
Im very suspicious of ppl who are always 'in the mood', seems phoney for sum reason. Nothing wrong with showing love if the person is deserving (not an arsehole), just not all the damn time, its draining. Even when they are good, sumtimes all they gonna get is a pat on the head or a loving glance, none of that OTHER stuff. Go tell the guy in the mirror to love u, i've got stuff to do. Sheesh. Again just saying
Speaking of emotions, yesterday one of our local celebrities came to our hotel with his family. I love the guy, i consider myself a fan of sum sort. While everybody else was hyperventilating & wanting this/that signed, i couldnt react. Nothing. As i mentioned, i adore the guy, but my lack of reaction towards him puzzled even myself. I seem to like celebrities ONLY on the telly, but when i meet them in real life, they fail to have the same impact on me. I work for the Hilton btw, so i get to meet plenty. I dont know if its an aqua thing, just wanted to share. Peace
Also the other thing, whats up with ppl wanting autographs? I never understood the use for them. Or having photos taken with a famous person. It all seems lame to me or maybe im square, d/k. Oh well *shrugs*

Posted by impresswho My daughter is an Aqua and oh my freaking god this girl is wayyyy too emotional and affectionate. She is ONLY like that with people whom she loves and cares about. Others can kiss her ass basically. She is a tough cookie when need be.
glecting this thread. As of lately I've been very busy so I have not been in the mood for long debates... I'm gonna keep this very short for now:
Posted by aquarius21 im sorry that repulses u lol. ur a leo n i know constant adoration and praise is a necessity for u guys so i can understand y u'd b so bothered.
It's not so much that I need constant adoration, it's more like if I'm infatuated with someone I need to constantly adore THEM!
Posted by aquaj My experience with Leo men has been that there's not really a lot going on between the ears. .
Well that's intrseting... given that you said you yourself are "intellectually detached". No objections here.
Posted by aliennation I'm a Scorpio...now you better nominate me for something good, or I'll call you a neutered tabby next time.
Damn! That spot has already been filled by a certain missmorals. She was a fiesty lil' Scorpio as well so consider your ass kissed!
Posted by The_eleventh_sign_11Hmmmmnn....is the reason of this topic for me to apologise for my behaviour or make me feel bad that ur not getting enough attention?
Why do people always assume there's some sort of greater meaning behind a topic? This is a discussion forum, is it not? We discuss, which is what I'm doing. I observe, I write. Everyting doesen't have to come with an agenda or a bigger purpose.
Posted by WaterCup Love me as i am or leave me, thats my motto. The world is full of fakes, when ur real they stick u with labels- psycho this, psycho that. Oh well..
Yeah... maybe because you ARE a psycho? One doesn't exclude the other! You can be "real" and "psycho", can you not? Well, not you personally, I don't know you, but there are many people out there who should wear a fucking sign. Not...All...People...Are...Good...Enough! A sad fact of life. Maybe those are the kind of people who seek refuge in an animal's "unconditional" love, because their emotional life is too simplistic (just like an animal's love).

Did I say that it is normal to "show love" and affection ALL the time? The only beef I have with you airheads is that you think it is somehow EMBARRASSING to show emotions. That is what I find so incredibly offputting about the Aqua.
Posted by WaterCup Lol aquarius21, do u have sum beef with the pussycats?
Lol no i ws just glad to finally c other fellow aquas who felt the same way about the subject as i do! i dont have n/e thing against leos. fish yes. but thats a whole other story lol

ppl say Im too much and i always say theyre not enough....its all or nothing with me..i need a god... and I'm sorry but showing emotions is embarrassing!!!....I'm the type of person that looks down on ppl who let their emotions get the better of them and dont keep them in check......cos I've been that person before who has been lovey dovey and unfortunately had my heart trampled on. It was the most amazing thing in my life to feel that for once i wasnt a spectator i was emmersed in my own feelings n misery and i knew it wasnt my environment that it felt very wrong to be there. the whole process of lifting myself out of that bad relationship and mourning the losses was soo very liberating and made me even more love with myself that i dont think anyone could ever live up to that. you find that aquas find emotions embrassassing off putting......maybe u should see that as a challenge and find out whats behind that.....cos if u could get them to play to ur tune which is impossible i think the juice would be worth the squeeze. if i met a god i would do anything and be anything he wanted me to be..
This above is so true. To me pain is like caviar. Too expensive to have it everyday, but enjoy it whenever i can have it. With sorrow comes strength of character. And not too many ppl are worth dating anyway.
Posted by CancerMoon enfant_terrible! What happened? You seem so fustrated and distraught...did something in particular happen with an Aqua chick?
No, I don't have nor did I ever have an "intimate" relationship with an Aqua (is that even possible? hehe). I have a couple of Aqua friends that I get along with just fine because they are such tomboys. The closest I've come to romance with an Aqua is when I dissed an Aqua chick girl in junior high . It's still haunting me though, because I was kind of mean to her ... Needless to say I was a completely different person back then. No the reason to why I seem distraught and frustrated is because people keep puttin words into my mouth, they simply assume that I want to hold hands all day long when in fact this isn't even about me!
Posted by The_eleventh_sign_11 and I'm sorry but showing emotions is embarrassing!!!....I'm the type of person that looks down on ppl who let their emotions get the better of them and dont keep them in check......cos I've been that person before who has been lovey dovey and unfortunately had my heart trampled on [...] you find that aquas find emotions embrassassing off putting......maybe u should see that as a challenge and find out whats behind that.....cos if u could get them to play to ur tune which is impossible i think the juice would be worth the squeeze.

And there we have it! This is not you, this is you feeling sorry for yourself, "it's the world's fault I'm like this because I had my heart broken". You are repressing your true emotional self. So don't tell me I have too high expectations. And about the second paragraph.... I don't object squeezing the juice, the problem is the lack of feedback (what have I been talking about here?!). So how about YOU trying to squeeze some juice for a change?!
@enfant terrible...just out of curiosity, where is your moon? Im asking this bcoz whatever 11 is saying i could relate to. I know astrology is not a manual to life, but i personally find sum facts in it. Having a scorpio moon is difficult. There's all kind of fears even without experience. Once u get to experience one of those fears its hard to let the guard down & try again. I see his point, been there myself & it takes a hell of hard work to get out of that dark pit. Plz dont think we are against you, its just that as ppl our experiences are different & so is our coping mechanism. If we learn to accept our differences & quit questioning, but instead try to understand/learn then all will be well. Just saying.
"Ppl experience are different and so is our coping mechanism"... Sure I can understand that, we are all the sum of our life experience... but what does that have to do with emotionally detached Aqua chicks, which was what my topic was about to begin with. Anyone can have a hard time in life and withdraw from the world, both physically and emotionally. But I don't think that's the reason behind this "shame of feelings" that Aquas possess. You mean to tell me that Aquas are more likely to get fucked over by life than the other signs, hence this detachment? And contray to popular belief I'm not trying to change anyone - I might have strong opinions but that's not the same as trying to change someone - I was just curious what others thought of it and what Aquas had to say "in their defence".. I'm not here seeking closure on the issue - Aquas are emotionally cold from where I stand. You have an excuse, or maybe you refuse to make any excuses... doesn't make a difference to me, I'm listening. But that doesn't mean one of us has to back down.
I posted the post above bcoz of your replies to 11, im not his spokeperson, but i could relate since we have similar placements. That aside, i cant explain the aqua detachment, it just is what it is. Its just part of our makeup. The way u cant understand it, is exactly the same way i cant get what is said about leos liking attention OR the split personality of the gems. What is said about both signs is intriguing/interesting to me, but i cant say they are wrong/bad bcoz of those inherent traits. Ur a cancer moon, no wonder why i felt instant loathing for u. Hahaha, j/k.
An aqua without detachment is like having a dick without balls. The two go together, there's no one without the other. Its a pairing. There's just no use explaining it away.

It's hard, I feel like this compassionate loving person, but I know people don't see it even though I feel it. It is hard to be vulnerable. I am also very embarrassed showing emotion, even when I feel it. But we do feel and we do have emotions, you have to make us feel safe enough to let it out.
Posted by WaterCup @aquarius21..pisces u said. I dont know what is it about sum water signs that irks air. Mine is with cancer. Grrr, how i wish to crush that shell.

As an Aqua female this thread has done nothing but piss me off...
First off - Why do you even give a crap about these people, who aren't even your friends? Live and let live and stop being such a snoopy ass... Secondly - Have you ever had to deal with a Aquarian female on an emotional/physical/passionate level? What we show people and what goes on behind closed doors are two different things, if you think you can tell what someone's marriage is like in 5 minutes, you're crazier than all the Aqua's combined on this thread... Lastely - I just think your a typical Leo who did nothing but create this thread to listen to himself talk... I am a very balanced Aquarian, there is a difference between intimacy and being a lovey dovey annoying idiot...
