Lots of people like rainbows. Children make wishes on them, artists paint them, dreamers chase them, but the Aquarian is ahead of everybody. He lives on one. What's more, he's taken it apart and examined it, piece by piece, color by color, and he still believes in it. It isn't easy to believe in something after you know what it's really like, but the Aquarian is essentially a realist, even though his address is tomorrow, with a wild-blue-yonder zip code.
--------------------
That person who seems to be either a million miles away mentally, or else dissecting you under an invisible microscope, is probably an Aquarian. It can be disconcerting to discover, after all his intense, nattering curiosity, that he's just as deeply interested in the personal lives of the corner policeman, the bartender, the bellboy, the night club singer or the inmates of the funny house as he is in yours.

Characteristic of Sun Signs by Linda Goodman - Source
As implied what I love about my fellow aquarians is everything stated. When they want to care they truly care but the sense of intimacy always just seems to be a veil only to be replaced with another face or another idea, just another experiment or shiny new toy. Worst is I do see this tendency in myself and when I do fixate on other things I know what ever I had held dear to me is still just as magical but my drive for finding odd puzzles to solve overwrites that feeling.
However endearing it seems to be or however intimate it's like you could never quite catch us, not entirely.

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but Aquarians who are air or fire dominated in their chart know how to be alone. As a result, they are able to walk away from a potential partner over a minor flaw which would be overlooked easily if they were incapable of being alone. Sometimes these aquas drop relationships on a whim because of this quality. I am an air dominated aqua and I don't really stick around if my partner continuous does something that annoys me or if I'm getting to know a person and I find one quality about them that irks me, I reject them based on that. This approach is quite harsh and is actually perceived that way as well by the love interest. They are left baffled that I could drop three weeks of non stop contact/connection over one thing they said which I didn't like at all. How I see it is that one thing is was a dealbreaker and I rather break it now then stick around, get attached only to walk away with a broken heart. I'm such a coward when it comes to matters of heart.

Everything is fantastic except that sometimes I do feel lonely. The loneliness is not due to lacking companionship, I have friends. Only way to describe it is, longing for something that I don't even know. I don't know what "it" is because I KNOW it's not related to anyone I know. Believe me, I do a mental slide show of every one I know, compare it to how I'd be feeling & there's no "hit". Sometimes I feel like going VERY faraway. Destination unkown. It's like if I ever go to such a place then I'll be alright. Where? Now that's a million dollar question 😄
Now I don't know if this is an aqua trait, but it sure is WaterCup's trait 😛

I definitely dont understand my aqua guy friend...He is very distant with me, claims he's extremely busy. Tells me he's interested and is feeling me. However his actions say otherwise. I don't have the patience to figure him out, it's freaking driving me nuts. Im pretty close to walking away.

I can be in a room full of people and feel lonely. How did you feel when you were pregnant? I never felt lonely when I was pregnant for some reason. Sounds kind of weird, but that's how I felt.click to expand

You're not a coward, it's very brave, in my opinion, to be willing to walk away. Good trait in that you make yourself happy and won't put up with stuff you don't like, maybe the bad side would be if you never told them why you left. ??click to expand

Interesting, I have thought the same thing as being the only potential draw back of Aquas. Unfortunately I think that feeling of loneliness has got the better of many brilliant Aquas and caused them to kill themselves thinking that they will find their answer in the death realm.

Posted by aquasnoz
It's not in the Aquarian nature to seek death as an answer. Surely some of us can be fucked up and mental but if we want to speak on such general terms, saturn and uranus are just not that type of energy. So unless the Aquarius is heavily afflicted in the natal or loaded with water like me (I do entertain the idea of death) there's no knowledge to be found there.

Seriously, I think our detachment is actually a blessing at times. But it can also be a curse and be the worst thing.
I'm going to lay something out that I do not see talked about a lot on here and it was something I dealt with for a long time and still do at times. I find the worst thing about being Aquarius is that we are detached because we do not know how to be truly intimate with another person. We are scared of being vulnerable so we hide behind all that shit. I am not talking about being intimate as in sex, I mean truly letting another person behind the walls, masks and distance we create in our lives. Maybe I was the only one that was like this but reading some of the comments other Aqua's make, I don't think i am alone. It has been a long process to learn how to allow others in and it can hurt if things fall apart but I want to live life and experience it, not just go through the motions if you will. I'd rather have a bit of hurt than numbness my entire life.
Best thing: we are pretty positive upbeat people and I think others enjoy being around our energy. I cannot recall many negative Aqua's. sure we may go through a rough time for a day or two but we bounce back pretty fast compared to others out there.
My thoughts on us 🙂
Love to my fellow Aqua's!click to expand

Do any of y'all think that Pisces people can be the sorts of people that really get Aquarians to open up? Or are Aquarians totally dominant over Pisces and not interested in them for anything but trickery.

I tried dating a pisces once but it didn't work out. He wanted too much too soon. Plus, pisces men can be negative sometimes. Always talking about their problems. I have my own problems, so I don't want somebody who'll constantly drown me with their own stories of misfortune. It's draining. Makes me wanna be around them less. I don't do well with water sign men...they kill my buzz.click to expand

But see, this is the problem with Aquarians. You don't know how to compromise and not sweat the small stuff. You can't handle the emotional down shifts and run for the exits the first whiff of smoke. Look, I'm a bit of a loner myself. But that quality doesn't endear one to long term relationships. When you're young this attitude is prolly healthy. When you get older, you gotta ask yourself whether you really want to spend those final days in the rocking chair alone. An Aquarian might be better suited to that but will it really make him or her happier? Being in relationship means giving up some control and hanging tough when the going gets tough. A Cancer understands this on an instinctual level. Call us needy all you want but can you love on our level?

Theres this thing called "the overview effect" its when astronauts perception chance when they view the world from space??_..its like feeling completely alone knowing all love and hate, war, disease, corruption, peace, tranquility, everything you know is on that big ball in front of you??_.. although I would love to know what its like being an aqua gives me some degree of overview effect??_.
Sometimes its good because I like being an observer and I see things people don't see and I can perceive coming situations that others don't see coming..
On the bad side I hate the feeling of being an outsider and that means I can't enjoy myself and that I don't feel like I'm in the moment its a major disconnection of mine when I'm with a group of friends going out and we are all drinking and sitting at a table and talking and laughing I'm up in my head somewhere else if I'm on the dance floor by myself its a different story??_ when I have sex with someone Its like I'm watching an educational documentary and it takes some time for me to be in the moment with someone??_.they have to reel me in and be there with them??_.another bad thing is trying to explain myself to people and they don't take me seriously because I'm a happy person and having to witness bad things occurring when they should be easily prevented.

I dont know about you.But i've researched and even real life aqua suns are in long term relationships. Maybe it's just the ones you know or have met. It is kind of like a broken record. Because goodness gracious, plenty of us in relationships while many other sun signs are not. And our significant other doesn't want us going anywhere but in their arms.click to expand
