Just a little vent here, but if anyone wants to comment or advise me on this one, it would be great to hear some vibes (or even just some "I told you sos" 🙂

I just started dating (about 4 weeks) an Aquarius guy with almost every planet in Sag. No idea why we are dating because I am as Scorpio as it gets! We have some very nice synastry on some points though, so there's a definite connection and passion there.

So anyway, he is a pretty nice guy. He is honest and respectful and we get along great, he plans nice dates - but - BUT - he won't stop seeing other women!

So this weekend, I'd set aside the whole weekend for us to spend together, and he'd planned a really cute / inventive date for me and he wanted me to come to his house after and stay the night. He said it'd be good to spend the weekend in bed /talking / cuddling - and obviously...SEX!

I am a Scorpio, and there is just absolutely no way I can progress to sex / intimacy with someone where it is not exclusive, so we ended up having a huge argument and the date / weekend got cancelled completely.

My argument:

Casual dating is fine, but once it progresses to sleepovers and sex, then you're investing physically / intimately and it needs to be exclusive between you. Or else it's just....well....gross!

His argument: (quoting verbatim here)

I just think you have to get to know each other better first and then discuss exclusivity afterwards. You spend time together, doing whatever you want to do, and see how you feel about things. If you both like it, you can agree to date exclusively. If you are comfortable with this, it allows space to explore you feelings. For the rest, I understand how you feel, but I don't think it's me. I have quite a lot of free time compared to you, and I want to be happy. Prematurely emotionally intense relationships don't feel right for me. I have to give things time to grow or not. I don't want to see you just because I didn't like being on my own at home and you aren't happy with me seeing anyone else. It's not healthy for me. It is just too soon. And too intense. My barriers come down slowly. You want too much too soon for me.

My argument:

Okay, so if you feel like that, I can respect that - but let's take sex off the table for now.

And he basically got upset by that for whatever reason (maybe because all he wants is sex??!!!) but now we are at this position where out big and wonderful date got cancelled because I said I didn't want to stay at his place if we were not exclusive and he said it was too soon to be exclusive and I am just not sure what to do!

I am upset / disappointed -but is this normal for an Aquarius /Sag kinda guy? I have never experienced it before! Usually a guy is in a rush to make sure I am not seeing anyone else, and this guy seems totally not even bothered!

Time for my final thought: He's either right, and you're too clingy for his taste. Or he's wrong and he's a player.

Either way, he doesn't view you as a potential partner (longterm or otherwise). He's gonna trample all over your feelings every chance he gets (intentionally or otherwise). So my advice to you is: do this to him.

If you're wearing THAT outfit while you're doing it, bonus points! Will make him see what a retard he is, and what he's missing out on.

true @Caplove, very true.

That Venus is Sag is tough huh?!

He honestly did not seem to understand what I was saying. "this is your sensitivity compared to my more hidden emotions"

For him exclusivity = intimacy

For me sex = intimacy



I could honestly date a guy for a year and if we weren't having sex, I would not get THAT attached emotionally. Once I have sex, oh boy, I am attached. I can't help it. I'd have gotten emotionally bonded to Hitler probably if we were having regular sex. Lol. for me sex is mind /body /heart. All in!

There could have been a compromise he if was happy to date without sex, but it seemed kinda crazy that he expected all the compromise to come from me. I wasn't trying to force him into exclusivity @bumboklatt - seriously - but I was saying "no exclusivity, no sex". That's not forcing anyone into anything, but just laying down my own boundaries.

Out of interest - Aquas - I understand he wanted to have his freedom to date / maybe even sleep with other girls at the same time as me; but how would he have felt if I did the same? How would he have reacted if my weekends were suddenly busy with other guys and I had no time to see him or return messages?

ohhhh I forgot!!!

David Bowie is sag venus but he has similar placements as my poor uncle.

and he's a good man!!! although David bowie got lucky after he played around.

it's like the venus that plays around in the early years and gets lucky and settles down later and happily from mid to old life.

and also there is Gavin Rossdale. sag venus.





but I don't see much Aqua sun/Sag venus men.



edit - I just saw david bowie's biography on this part...that he experimented with Bisexuality in his early years even with Mick Jagger ...but he said he is always HETEROSEXUAL.



do you think Sagittarius venus just likes to experiment? or is that just him personally?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie



Sexuality[edit]

Bowie declared himself gay in an interview with Michael Watts for a 1972 issue of Melody Maker,[245] coinciding with his campaign for stardom as Ziggy Stardust.[55] According to Buckley, "If Ziggy confused both his creator and his audience, a big part of that confusion centred on the topic of sexuality".[246] In a September 1976 interview with Playboy, Bowie said, "It's true—I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me".[247] According to his first wife, Angie, Bowie had a relationship with Mick Jagger.[248][249]

In a 1983 interview with Rolling Stone, Bowie said his public declaration of bisexuality was "the biggest mistake I ever made" and "I was always a closet heterosexual".[250] On other occasions, he said his interest in homosexual and bisexual culture had been more a product of the times and the situation in which he found himself than of his own feelings.[

Oh girl... I feel you. I was with one for over 2 years. My shortest relationship ever (his longest!!) 😆

I think it's good you laid the boundaries out, it's a way to sort out the ones that just aren't right for you. With all that Sag I have a feeling he would have been totally okay with you sleeping with others as well. It's like they sort of have this blase attitude when it comes to dating/sleeping with other people. They don't seem to get attached like a water venus/earth venus might. You need another water or earth Venus (Cap might be nice for you).
maybe men with sag placements but not this Aqua female with sag bits. I don't share, ever.

Op, you did good at sticking to your boundaries. The fact that he had issue with your request to take or keep sex off the table until you are exclusive should tell you all you need to know.

It's his Venus in Sag. 😢 Imagine if you'd slept with him and gotten all attached. It's a blessing in disguise.
I was doing a topic on sag venus Nina Dobrev, and Ian Somerhalder is Sag sun...

but I think the venuses are too WRONG....

now Ian Somerhalder is with another water venus, and actually married her.



I think that Nina Dobrev needs to find another fire venus OR Air venus man.

sex is not the only way to form emotional attachment though.

some couples can't have sex, (maybe disabled) and they form an emotional bond.

sex is good and all, but deep down, emotional bonding is where it's at.

It's funny you wrote that. I was looking their charts up this am and saw that too! That Sag Venus.. grr.. They were wrong! He's Venus in Scorpio.. i think. He was probably super unsettled w/ her Sagi bits. I get it though, now that I've experienced it. It's just damned uncomfortable, the unsettled energy. Yeah, air venus for her or another Venus in Sag might be really good.

His wife has Venus in Cancer.

yup you're right, and she has aries mars trining that sag venus. it's too much for him.

low key for him, Cancer venus/Aqua mars on Nikki Reed.

Exactly. That's why aqua and scorps are square each other

The philosophies are not even close. Aqua want intellectual freedom , scorps want emotional commitment

he will never feel as deeply as you and you will never understand his wild ideals

yup!!!!

me and my husband both NEED intellectual AND emotional commitment.

'that's why I married him and he married me. lol 😆

i'll tell you one thing though, my husband HATES boring chicks.

he's dated beautiful and BORING and can't stand them.



then I told him, i'm boring too!!! why you with me?



"cuase you're so much FUN!!"



😆 I guess I "de-stress" him. make him tickle.



edit



OP, so think....



why an Aquarius man would want you, desire you?

because you TICKLE him. and in a good way. intellectually and you make him smile and feel good.

Men want to feel good and DE-stress and be happy.

I know it would have been a really fun relationship. I think he lied that with me he was mystified and never bored, and I definitely brought the "heat" he was missing....

BUT

If a guy I was dating / having a sexual relationship with was dating and potentially having a sexual relationship with others, then it would bring out the worst in me - suspicion, jealousy, paranoia - and I don't want to feel that way. I want to feel special and respected - not like "one of many", so it would have killed my attraction.

Not to mention health wise - do you wanna have sex with someone who is having sex with unknown other people? Eeew!!!

It's a shame, but if he was not willing to toss aside the other girls, he doesn't get me
