Thank the zodiac for our innate ability to DETACH because I would have jumped off the nearest bridge by now without that ability. Sometimes people drive me nuts! But then again, my rising and moon are both earth signs too..who else out there knows their ascending and moon signs and how are they influencing your personality??
Aquariussss Supreme!
Are you a January aquarius or a February? I am a Feb. I know what you mean about the loyalty thing very much! Once I am loyal and trust someone, then I somehow become a dormat because there's no end to what I will tolerate, you know? So I am doing some work on that--educating myself about self-esteem, boundaries yadayada. But I am sortof serious about it because it hurts to get run over, and I am over that now. So detaching is important in that regard. I ask myself: Do I really want this? If the answer is NO, then I let it go and then don't pick that relationship up again. However. It seems to be easier to do with some people than with others. For instance, virgos....can't .... say...no. Although with that relationship, I did say no twice about two very important issues and I gained considerable amounts of power back for myself, and in the long run, earned his respect.
Oh my god. I talked to my virgo boy-friend today--he called from New Jersey on business to tell me that he missed me. Mark your calenders everyone!!! This is newsworthy. We talk perhaps once a week0 OH well. Sometimes I get so sick of this distance thing, although most of the time I prefer it?? Am I weird or what? We dated in the same city two years ago, and I wanted to throw myself out the window to escape. But add a bit of distance to the mix and I am BLUE, and don't want to date anyone else. Perhaps it's time for a quick weekend visit??
On his behalf, let me correct my last comment--only on rare occasions did I want to throw myself out the window. Usually, he wanted to throw me! HA!
Signing off until tomorrow.
Signing off until tomorrow.

I wonder where my correct balance of Attachment/Detachment is! Some don't like Aquarians because they're too detached! Some don't like Scorpios because they're always always always Attached to some degree and do not let go, ever! I'm sure there is a moderate balance between the two opposite sides though! What do you people think?
It seems like people who are too detached are taking life too simply and they need to deal with people and their BS rather than ignoring their legitimacy. And yet people who are too attached are just the opposite, everything is to be scrutinized in full and people are to be manipulated/punished when they're getting out of control. Once again, there is a balance! And I mean to apply the balance to the way I live, and to the way I form and nurture friendships.

Because being too attached is cruelity and people don't deserve it to an extreme.Aloftness is alot of the time is dealing with people in a more humane and rational way.Patience,tolerance and just laying it on the table knowledge and leave it there for when thier ready to pick it up is more successful in changing people for the better.It has to do with the mindset,you only realise something when your truely ready for change,to force it causes defiance and reverse reactions to it.Also when you go into ceratin feilds it's best to not get to emotional because it can cause more damage than good,such as medical,police work,military,etc.
The emotional must always be there too! It just needs to be balanced and attended to appropriately I believe.
Wouldn't it be emotional to help people through the ability?Your not doing it for yourself and is because you do care and want to help,altruism is emotion based not because it's logical to do so.Or it makes you feel better for whatever reason for each particular person maybe prestige,ego,understanding,makes them feel good,etc.Psychologist,gynocologist,pediatrictians,pretty much all medical feilds,police,firefighters,etc have to know the emotional stuff too but thier still detached to get the help part finished and worry about emotions later.They've got to be the "news" breakers so they have to be empathetic,and very hard not to get emotional by some of those situations surrounding those feilds but you still gotta detach abit to be the shoulder to cry on.But on the whole I get what your saying about balencing it so your not screwing yourself or being a doormat though.
Agreed Tiamat! You understood what I was attempting to express.
