is the social butterfly aqua a myth or am I just an odd one out?
No, that's not strange at all for Aquas. The 'typical aqua behaviour' you described fits more with Leo imo.
I personally know some Aquas, both the partying types and introverted. I think other placements are important for this though.
My dad is an Aqua rising and the introvert description fits him perfectly, deep thinker, deep subjects, gets sick of people quickly. Very 'real' person.
He hates small talk too which I assume you deal with too.

Mine is predominantly Aqua, and while he is super friendly and USED to be a partier and be super social, je really feels more comfortable in quiet, intimate settings.
I think the "social butterfly" aspect really has more to do with the fact that they are friends with anyone interesting, regardless of social status or peer groups.
Mine was friends in high school with everyone...partiers, stoners, jocks, popular girls. He just feels like everyone has something interesting about them and doesn't like that people put themselves into cliques.

Posted by risesafterallI have a lot of capricorn in my chart (moon, venus, mercury). That might explain the getting sick of people feeling I often get, now that I think about it. But I honestly suck at interpreting birth charts. What, for instance, does a cappy mercury mean?

The leo traits that make them so attention-seeking and such 'everybodys-darling's' is actually precisely what bothers me about the leo's I know.
Posted by sultrykittyI find it rather interesting (it seems to be yet another aqua paradox) how most can get along with really anyone and love having fun with friends, and yet often withdraw from the center of attention and prefer solitude. And then some aquas seem to have tendencies towards one or the other.

Posted by aquamilaCapricorn moon and venus could make you a bit more reserved, I have both of those placements too. They make you look deeper at people or situations while skipping the emotional part, which makes the flow of emotions a bit less easy, I think. Not really healthy lolPosted by risesafterallI have a lot of capricorn in my chart (moon, venus, mercury).

Scorpio seems to get sick of people somewhat quickly but I'm not sure about that. Aqua and Cap both seem to look deeper.
And about the Leo thing.. I feel you lol, it's just confidence.
Posted by aquamilaIt's part of the Aqua charm and mystery. 🙂Posted by sultrykittyI find it rather interesting (it seems to be yet another aqua paradox) how most can get along with really anyone and love having fun with friends, and yet often withdraw from the center of attention and prefer solitude.

Like what Sultrykitty said, I think Aquarius 'energy' is open minded, in a way of skipping the part of catagorizing people and seeing everybody as human beings.

And then some aquas seem to have tendencies towards one or the other.I think they're just okay with everyone but don't feel like there's a certain group they really belong to or fit into. And that they remain independent thinkers.
Now I think that's probably what people mean by calling Aquas 'detached'. Figured it out! 😄
Posted by risesafterallMakes sense lol. Ironically, I'm with a heavily scorpionic scorpio who demands a loot of emotion from me. I've had serious difficulties with that. I mean it's not that I am unemotional, I just often don't know how to let them out in a healthy way lolPosted by aquamilaCapricorn moon and venus could make you a bit more reserved, I have both of those placements too.

Is it possible that there's a difference in whether or not you're a January or February Aqua? My friend is a Jan. Aqua, and he's very shy and introverted, but also very, very nice and has many friends.
Posted by M00NchildI'm a January Aqua. Not exactly shy, although those who don't really know probably would call me shy now that I think about it. Definitely rather introverted. Is that because they lean towards a capricorn cusp?

Definitely not true. I dislike being the center of attention.
Can't help being aquarius and life of the party tho 😉

Posted by aquamilaI am curious as to where you read that we like to be the center of a crowd? i myself have not come across this discription of our sun sign and think most are on the more introverted side. Still social but introverted.
Everywhere I read that aquarius' love to be in the middle of a crowd, have looots of friends and are always fun to be with. I myself am quite introverted, mostly prefer being either with the (basically 2) people who are very close to me or alone and am perfectly fine with that, avoid big social gatherings, and have days when I get irritated by the mere presence of others.
Of course I do love intriguing, deep one-to-one conversations about everything and anything, and (rarely) meeting new interesting people. I feel much more like an observer than someone who loves being and interacting with people in all sorts of ways. I am always nice and friendly, but that's just my social mask. I even could say that anything superficial feels like a waste of time for me. I crave (few) deep and meaningful relationships, which provide all the intellectual and spiritual and emotional stimulation that I need, rather than having hundreds of interesting acquaintances.
So is there two types of aquas - The social, eccentric hippie and the more introverted type? How do you feel about the social/antisocial introverted/extroverted aqua contradiction?
I prefer small, close groups of people that i know very well over loud, obnoxious places.
I have my extroverted, adventurous side, but that is all my Saggie bits not my sun at all.

The Aquarius is typically a sign that absolutely loves to be in the middle of a crowd. They really blossom in crowds and they are certainly one of the few signs that thrive on the energy in crowds. (http://lifestyle.allwomenstalk.com/best-traits-of-an-aquarius)

From what i've read about Aquas. They are supposed to be among people. Distributing everything in equal measures, unlike Leo which bases their social life on a hierarchy system.
I don't think that makes them "extroverts" per say. They are just supposed to more inclusive than others.
I always viewed it more as a mob mentality- we the people- type of thing- more than anything else.
I've read comments from supposed Aquas on blog posts regarding their personal relations- friendships and otherwise- and they have shared that they feel no more love for someone they have known for 2 years- vs a family member- or a partner. There is a certain type of beauty in something like that, though i'm not sure how accurate that it is.

I feel like Aquas are the type that usually have no trouble sticking out because c'mon they're super weird and odd, most are the introverted nerdy chic type (introverted does not equate to shy and unsociable). I've noticed they tend to have very diverse group of friends, not the type to usually stick to or be associated with particular cliques or groups. Aquas are generally good at making acquaintances. They also usually have no problem with people dropping in and out of their lives tbh. They're the type to be able to pick up back where both last left off, whereas other signs might take disconnections more seriously and feel awkward upon a reunion - if that makes sense.
I'm an introverted 3rd decan Aqua and I also prefer being with a small group of close people over a vast amount of acquaintances. "Staci, Darcy, Lily, Eric, Chelsea, Ryan, and I are all headed to the bowling alley! Wanna join?" No. Just no. The only time I enjoy being in the "middle of a crowd" is when I'm surrounded by a comfortable environment, but I blame my Leo moon for that, otherwise most of the time I don't like when people look at me. Also, I have never really found myself thriving off of others' energy... I tend to create the energy or take control of it most of the time.

Posted by VelocityI just found an interesting article on how certain planetary placements + environment/childhood can bring out the "dark side" of an aquarius. I.e. can turn the social, outgoing aqua into an aloof loner who is incapable of connecting with other individuals...

Well- i think that's what's really concerning about that type of mentality.
Either it kindness and compassion to everyone- Or It's i hate everyone, and don't care nor value your feelings or opinions.
That's one of the reasons i've struggled to maintain friendships with certain Aquas. Namely the one i grew up. When she was upset- She would direct her anger and hatred onto you- or anyone else- even tho you weren't a contributing party. Only so long you can tolerate that type of behavior without eventually just walking away.

Posted by SkittyWell I do think there is that range inbetween. I can still be compassionate and kind to everyone. I find helping others extremely rewarding. I don't judge people easily. I try hard to be more empathic (despite being cap dominant) and accepting of others opinions. However I can not identify myself with the outgoing, social aqua that loves partying and being the center of attention. And there is that whole other side to me that only very few people even get to see or know.

But yea- i tried clicking on your older link, and it didn't work. I'm sot sure where you read that they enjoy being the center of attention or party people- but i don't think that's accurate at all. At least none of the ones i knew were like that.
Being a social person who is concerned with people, and social issues doesn't mean your an outgoing extroverted.
I like going out to dance, not talk. I finding talking at a club over loud music really stressful. When I first moved to the city when I was young I went out clubbing by myself and would meet all sorts of people and being the curious, optimistic, Aqua I was I would soak up peoples stories and walks of life. I've met a shitload of acquaintances and had amazing adventures with complete strangers that I've met but having said that I always loved going back to my apartment alone and laying in bed with music still ringing in my ears.
At the moment I have two besties, one is my BF and the other is my Aqua theatre buddy and we always hang out and watch movies, get stoned, eat, talk, gossip, play Marino cart and drink our weight in tea I love it but that's all we ever fucking do, every time my friends choose something to do it's always really fucking boring, today my Aqua friend, she works,in day care and it's a Christian preschool that she works at and she looks after an autistic boy and she MADE me and my gay boyfriend go to this huge Christian extravaganza where the kids do their nativity play and as soon as we're there bitch ditches us for the parents and kids and we were stranded amongst the Christians. We even went to get a sausage sizzle and we were denied, probably because it was too phallic for the gays to be eating in front of the families lol just jokes apparently there was no more bread left so that's why we were denied.
My Aqua female friend is such a crazy insane social butterfly, seriously I need to make a thread about her because I never talk about her in here and she's like Elaine bennace from Seinfeld. Anyways that's my story..

Actually I wanted to wrap up with, I do the hermit thing really well and am capable of having lots if fun by myself or with complete strangers, I should be a your guide or something.
@The_eleventh_sign_11 crazy, funny story! I am actually burning to hear more about your crazy aqua friend. I also do "the hermit thing" really well haha.
It's so interesting to hear about all the other aquas. There really seems to be this division into those two aqua types. Or maybe aquas have different phases in their lives in which they are more, or less social?

Posted by SkittyI totally agree, that's why I started this thread, I feel like aquarius are also quite often misunderstood. In the first page of google results on aquarius traits, I'm sure you will find something like 'social butterflies' 'love partying' 'have lots of different friends' or something of that sort. I also felt like this was, at least about me, mostly inaccurate. Or at least lacking a looot of depth. Aquarius in non-professional astro-descriptions seem to often be made more superficial than we are, when superficiality is really what we hate most of all. :oPosted by aquamilaI was referring to the mentality of the article you posted- I should've quoted.

But yea- i tried clicking on your older link, and it didn't work. I'm sot sure where you read that they enjoy being the center of attention or party people- but i don't think that's accurate at all. At least none of the ones i knew were like that.
Being a social person who is concerned with people, and social issues doesn't mean your an outgoing extroverted.

Posted by sultrykittyhow does an air dominant aqua handle the grounded exalted taurus moon?Posted by justagirlYes, but according to astro, he's 49% air.Posted by sultrykittyooohhh grounded Aqua!Posted by justagirlTaurus moon, cap mercPosted by sultrykittyWhat's his moon?
Mine is predominantly Aqua, and while he is super friendly and USED to be a partier and be super social, je really feels more comfortable in quiet, intimate settings.
I think the "social butterfly" aspect really has more to do with the fact that they are friends with anyone interesting, regardless of social status or peer groups.
Mine was friends in high school with everyone...partiers, stoners, jocks, popular girls. He just feels like everyone has something interesting about them and doesn't like that people put themselves into cliques.click to expand
I'm not really sure, what I do notice about his moon is that he was EXTREMELY slow to commit. Debilitatingly slow.
Now, he hardly spends any time with me but is extremely possessive (jealous).
He pretty much personifies every online description of aqua man I've ever read.

I swing both ways in that sense. I can be talkative and social given my mood and company. I prefer to be alone and am very comfortable in my solitude.
Might want to look to rising.
I'm a first decan aqua, I'm generally silent around close friends. Libra rising however kicks in when entertaining guests and acquaintances

i see it my sister who has taurus moon. heehee.
i don't have taurus in personal planets but in pullen and chart, i'm taurus dominant and omg, i'm very very jealous and possessive.
taurus is a very very very and i mean verrrrryyyyyyyyyy jealous and possessive sign. it's soooo true.
i just dont have it in my personal planets so it doesn't come out like a taurus mars or moon or venus. mercury ect.
OP, i am similar with you. We shouldnt be social butterfly at all because we cant really be ourselves unless we are with close aides which numbered few. Having lots of friends is true but only a handful will let you feel totally comfortable.
@aquasnoz my rising sign is sagittarius. Although descriptions say they are outgoing and friendly, I'm not sure.
@Angmodurian I actually don't know how to describe myself in terms of sociality. Those who see me everyday, and know me on a very superficial level, would most probably describe me as very friendly and charming and so on. And yet I really avoid superficial social gatherings (eg parties) and I would even feel uncomfortable in just a group of people going out together. I generally have the urge to express myself, but feel held back when I'm not among the people I trust. There seems to be no transition at all from my internal to external self or vice versa, I just end up being mostly reservedly friendly to anyone that approaches me, and cold to the rest. And only when I'm with my family, not even with them really, only the ones I truly love and trust get to see my inner self as my external. I would be fine with that, if it didn't happen that I often end up completely isolating myself in some phases of my life, for no apparent reason. Do you deal with similar things Angmodurian?

Yes @aquamila its not just aqua i guess, its just we are more comfortable being around people that hold same values & interest as us. Well my situation is similar (well within my prediction) because i have odd interest completely different from folks within my age range group (25s above). I am an asian but a traditional one & i love antiquity stuff, history, science & politics. There are very few people who can converse with me on a level, i feel that i bore these people seriously. So sometimes i feel stressed to go out with people because i am afraid i will bore them. Lol seriously i can carry on a conversation with 40s, 50s folks but the younger ones are a rarity now. There's actually nothing to be worried about. I am friendly & compassionate to all people. Just be yourself & feel good about it, you dont have to feel belong to a certain group so as not to feel out of place. We aquas are always the odd balls. Individualism & uniqueness is our motto.
@aquamila Let me try to give you a solution to this. Well for me i actually choose whether i allow people to come into my life because i do get people approaching me. The key is your mental state, keeping it in a state of inner peace. When your heart is loving & peaceful, you give off very friendly vibe & it draws peope in, i have tested this myself, when i am unhappy i look intimidating & people are essentially afraid lol. Its about personal cultivation & achieving that inner peace. We aquas are in fact naturally adept at this because i view our detachment as a form of meditation. Buddhism helps a lot & has lots of knowledge about this. You dont have to be a buddhist to master it, just look up some of their meditation & personal cultivation practice.
Second very important element is confidence. Well i am a victim of this myself because the people surrounding me do not give me enough assurances for me to be confident. Found it out myself & curing it now. You look the best when you are confident, it is the energy that draws people in. You can take a picture of yourself when you are confident vs you are not. Hell its a miles apart 🙂
Always have the unwavering faith in yourself, you dont need others to give you assurances. We are already a winner the moment we are born because we out competed the other sperms amongst thousands of them. We have always been taught to love others but we always neglect ourselves. In order to better love other people, you have to learn to love & respect yourself PRECIOUSLY first. Clear this doubt & maintain an optimistic mind which is particularly challenging in this stressful World but u gotta try, you will have people coming to you 🙂

aww @Angmodurian that's so kind of you.. You are right, personal issues and stress keep me from being truly at peace with myself, and that might at least be part of the reason that I often seem so inapproachable to others. I often feel perfectly fine in my closed-off world with the one or two close ones that I let in, until I start sensing that others find me inapproachable and intimidating. Maybe with time and age (I'm still a bit younger than you) I'll come to find my state of inner peace and be more open and outgoing.
What are your personal plenets' placements if I may ask? 🙂

Of course I do love intriguing, deep one-to-one conversations about everything and anything, and (rarely) meeting new interesting people. I feel much more like an observer than someone who loves being and interacting with people in all sorts of ways. I am always nice and friendly, but that's just my social mask. I even could say that anything superficial feels like a waste of time for me. I crave (few) deep and meaningful relationships, which provide all the intellectual and spiritual and emotional stimulation that I need, rather than having hundreds of interesting acquaintances.
So is there two types of aquas - The social, eccentric hippie and the more introverted type? How do you feel about the social/antisocial introverted/extroverted aqua contradiction?
