Something I have been thinking on a lot lately. What is friendship to my fellow Aquas? Is it hard for you to truly open up to others? Let your guard down? Not just with emotions, but with letting anyone get close to you.

I know for me I am VERY selective on who I let into my inner circle, I am assuming most of you are the same? I sometimes wonder if it’s my Scorpio rising that keeps me so guarded or if this is truly an Aqua thing.

I will say once I let someone in, they mean everything to me and if something happens to effect that friendship, it cuts me to the core. Am I the only Aqua like this? Not sure if it’s because I do cherish those that I let in so much more as I don’t do that with just everyone. I’m at a loss as to why it impacts me so much. Hence the thread. Maybe others feel this way too, or maybe I’m just messed up (aren’t we all on some level LOL).

I invest a lot into those I call friend, maybe too much sometimes, but then I get told I “disappear”, but I’m right here or there as the case may be, so I don’t understand it. Maybe because I’m not one to express my emotions? Not always the one to reach out first?

Do we as Aquas, place undue expectations on others? I don’t think I do, but maybe I do and don’t even realize it. I have always viewed friendships as a give and take, have to have balance, a back and forth for it to feel like a true friendship. When one of those things is missing or gone, it just feels so lacking. Do you guys feel the same? What’s your view on friendship?

Thoughts? I would love to hear from my Fellow Aquas.

I might as well weigh in.

I'd divide friendships in 2 categories - friends who I can trust and who I can't trust. I don't have a whole lot of friends which I can trust and in all honesty, I highly value the reliability they offer. I do not open up, as I don't think anyone even cares about how I really feel. If I can't trust someone 100% , then I will not let my guard down or open up.

I have always had trust issues and I don't feel comfortable when someone starts exposing me. My trust can only be lost, and not gained.

I have 3 shitty 12th house placements and I am depressed, deep down. No one seems to care about or understand me and I end up feeling isolated.

My Aqua bestie it took her almost 3 years to finally open to me, she had it extremly rough in life and doesn't trust people. I was there for her through thick and thin. Always invited her to my family's party, friend's party. To make her feel accepted and loved. she truly needed 1 person to listen to her ans be there for her and I had no problem being that person even though i'm a social butterfly, i'm always everywhere meeting New people lol.

So i totally relate since i've experienced with my Aqua bestie. She isn't the type to let people in that easy. She disappear on people that she aint friends with. She can be very sociable but that's it lol. Most Aquarius have this depth and beautiful spirit about them.

That's so sweet. It's no wonder she's comfy with you. Those are the best kind of friendships!

Yes it will soon be 10 years that we have been besties. Now she is engaged with her cancer man. I'm happy for her! She still says that my future man is somewhere lol. As any bestie would, she still annoys me about my Crush on a Virgo guy —?. I love her though.

Aquas and the Aqua dominant seem to very interested in human nature. My best friend and I converse a lot on tells and unconscious cues from others that are indicative of things about them. We're both similar in that we only fully trust those that have proven themselves in situations where the pressure was on and/or there was something at stake. You'd be surprised at the number of people that either wilt under pressure or their first impulse is to think of themselves. I've always liked the quote "Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it." I feel like I'm someone that friends can always count on when the chips are down and I like that as a characteristic in others too.
cant 'see" you yet Chance.. you're a capriquarius are you not? You embody many Aqua traits yourself..?

Welcome! People need to be patient and truly show that you care for them genuiely. The weirdest thing is that we only had 1 disagreement just once and it was a bad communication phase that we fixed lol. Except that we never had a fight.

I'm very guarded but open in other ways, there are things that I will share with my friends of 10yrs but still hide other things.

I don't hide because I wanna keep it a secret but because I don't expect them to help me with it.

I'm a very approachable person as a friend, I like to guide others and be there for them when they need me.. Sometimes I give too much and don't get enough back, but I've realized is because I don't share my pains..

My friends always see me as the "strong one", I've gone thru a lot and all I do is get up and work my ass off to make things better, and I don't complain or whine about it.

Lately, I've been letting my guard down with my closest friends and they still say I see things differently, or that they'd be acting in another way, not rationally as I do.

my Taurus best friend (he's a guy) he knows me very well and cares for me a lot. I'm very open with him, in every way because I know he can take the things I say and give me his honest opinion, he stills says I'm cold.

lol so.. I guess we are easier at handling our own problems rather than talk to other people about it.

Awww I'm almost 29 and my best friend from High school is a Leo ❤

She and I have been very close even though she only lived here for 2 years and moved back to her country. We have always had contact thru email, then messenger, MySpace and other older and newer social network, and not we are able to talk pretty much every day or so to at least check on each other and our love life, family life, we guide each other we are true to each other to mean the things we say Good or Bad.

That is very sweet, friendship is not going out clubbing together or stuff like that, is being there for each other even though we can't be together in any other way.

I don't put friendship on a pedestal as astrologers seem to think.

it's not even that big to me, but if I have a good friend/best friend I can "connect" to on a deeper level like I do with my cancer girlfriend with pisces moon/cap mars, or like my best friends from high school ect then it's because they understood me and I understood them, on a deeper level. nothing superficial. they accept me deeper than anything else. My pains and woes and suffering and their hardships too, and pains and woes without judgement.

edit

my best friends in middle school/high school years were Cap sun/Pisces moon/Aqua venus/Mars, Sag merc. the other Scorpio sun /stellium with virgo mars, libra moon cusp.

and then there is Cancer sun/Pisces moon/Cap mars/leo venus, girlfriend, because these people can keep secrets and I keep their secrets. if I am in pain and suffering and so forth we heal eachother and help eachother, and we get eachother's jokes ect. it's a very select few obviously over the years.

It's an interesting dichotomy. Work like a Cap..today was my 41st consecutive day of work of 10+ hour days (have tomorrow and Wednesday off though 🙂) but I'm taking 3 months off this year because I value freedom and freedom of choice like an Aqua. Aqua dress style but with Cap colors. Like tradition like a Cap but with futuristic progressive ideals. Aqua ideas and concepts but with Cap action. I like the traits of both..and Caps and Aquas get along really well as neighbors.

yeah but you have a strong cardinal going on in you....



also with cardinal moon. (aries) which trines your mars.

you are already a go-getter by nature.

It's always interesting when one has outgoing, prominent fyeah (Moon and Mars) and an introverted sun along with aqua placements. I think it's why I like the fire and water combo in others. Sometimes ya feel like a nut, sometimes ya don't 🙂

hmm anything 10th house I have been reading, like 10th house vesta is focused on CAREER, like Martha Stewart. it's different if you have Capricorn and aquarius, without any 10th house.

Martha Stewart sacrificed husband and family life to be Successful and powerful. with ups and downs...

that's opposite of what I like.

I have a lot of friends but most I am not really close to. Although I often am surrounded by people I often feel people don't really know me very well. I am comfortable to open up about somethings but there is a lot about myself that no one really knows. I do let my close friends know me but often if i'm down or not feeling good I don't let people know. I'm unsure if this is an aqua moon thing or because I am a gemini.

the other day i was with my aqua bestie and she asked me what i hate about her and im like

"I didn't like how long it took you to be my friend. I knew we would be bros for life but i was waiting for you to open up, it took you 10 years"



I really love all the aquas in my life. they're so special

I don't mind their selective cautious approach when it comes to who they let in, because once i got to know them in deeper level i realized how giving and loyal they are. just like you said, I feel like I mean a lot to them (its mutual) and they defo treat me differently than others. I think its good to be selective when you have accepting and giving nature so people don't take advantage of the gem that is you.

I seriously feel super cool and lucky to be in my aquas' life.

type of people who i know got my back. I dont even feel the need to explain myself around them, guess the longass process of getting into each other' lives, helped us understand each other better. they dont easily jump to conclusion, despise drama and I'm a big fan of their 'no hard feelings' approach to everything, type of people who will always be your friend. they know how to appreciate the good times, I appreciate that.

I'm a capricorn-aquarius cusp and I'm always very cautious around people too. I don't reveal true things about myself but there's been time periods and with certain people where I don't even know what got into me and I would talk to them about the non-common/eccentric topics of mine I'm interested it, or reveal more personal things about myself if the situation/interaction feels like it requires me to

This is so me. I'm a cusp too and before finding out that cusp signs were a thing, I never felt like I related 100% whenever I read Capricorn descriptions. I knew I didn't have that much ambition or was as driven as Capricorns are often described as. I'd say I like to take the easy and lazy route more sometimes, as well the more practical way.

What disappoints me is that there hasn't been as much information on the cusp signs that I've found online. Maybe I just need to look harder though. I also hate how I can act so different at times, or think of so many different ways I can approach something but not really know which is the right thing to do. I also have Aquarius mercury and mars so maybe that's why

What's your moon sign and what have your experiences been like with earth/water suns versus air/fire sun signs? Which ones do you feel like you click more with or are comfortable with?

What disappoints me is that there hasn't been as much information on the cusp signs that I've found online. Maybe I just need to look harder though. I also hate how I can act so different at times, or think of so many different ways I can approach something but not really know which is the right thing to do. I also have Aquarius mercury and mars so maybe that's why

What's your moon sign and what have your experiences been like with earth/water suns versus air/fire sun signs? Which ones do you feel like you click more with or are comfortable with?
I have an Aries moon and a prominent Sag Mars. My sun is my only Earth placement. I do feel a kinship to other Aqua Mercs and Aqua Venus.' Earth signs I feel are effortless to get along with..especially Virgo. There are already a lot of unspoken agreements. Water signs are pretty easy to get along with on a surface level. Fire is hit or miss and air is fun to talk to. For me, getting along has more to do with character traits rather than astrological.

I know what you're saying about being conflicted. Aries moon wants to go, go, go and is somewhat child-like. While Cap Sun is mature and is like 'let's think about this for a second.' Aqua Rising is like 'but have you thought about this.' I'm at my best when I'm combining all three using strong intuition and acting instinctually in the moment..it allows me to recognize things early which is always useful from a timing standpoint.

Hmm I guess the sun sign is pretty prominent here. And I like your strategy about combining your elements and going with what you feel. It kinda relates to how I've been unwittingly basing my decisions and opinions more on astrological signs of myself and other people, which is probably not good. I'm still mentally biased now when I try to think about which signs I get along with best
