So i've noticed that all my aquarian friends have somewhat "left" me. For example one was a uni friend, who i got along with really well for the whole year, now that its holidays i haven't heard from her in over a month.

Another one i met online and we became good friends for 2-3 months. Suddenly she also disappeared and has become an acquaintance.

and theres another one who has done the same.

What is this and why?

I haven't seen this recurring pattern in any other sign. What are the motives behind this? do pisces and aquarius just not mingle well? because I've always felt we do get along really well.

One of my best friends is a Pisces, we get along very well, but she sees everything as sparks and butterflies, I'm more grounded and realistic. I think it goes well, mostly when she has issues she comes to me because I can help her find a reasonable answer. She would just cry and overreact over everything, I'm not that emotional, so she knows she can rely on me to not sugarcoat any situation. I do not go to her for love advice bc id be crying my eyes out instead of thinking it thru. but she's a good shoulder to vent on.

She hears me out and gives me hope. 🙂

Be supportive with your friends, don't overwhelm us. Sometimes we do need a break from very emotional people.

Reach out to them and ask them for their opinion on things, as an Aquarian friend I'm the go-to for my friends. I answer their calls at 2am when they're crying and Flipping out. I will always be there for them.

People with no common interest and who are at different points in life tend to drift apart.

I became distant with all my friends who I had no common interest with or who I didn't engage in witty banter or deep conversations with. The friendship has to be mentally stimulating for me. I should be able to talk to them about ideas or myself. I absolutely hate talking about others when it doesn't concern me or related to me and similarly don't pursue friendship with the gossipy type who just talk about others when it doesn't even concern them.

Pisceans are very nice people. Nice people are usually fake as hell though because they mask their true feelings and release it afterwards because nice people hate confrontations and rocking the boat. I don't like this aspect to any nice sign.

We get along but sometimes Pisces get the wrong idea of friendship

Our friendship isn't emotional and trusting like yours

Our friendship is understanding and respecting individuality

Sometimes you guys can get persistant or show too much emotion for us to be comfortable
But If you respected individuality, wouldn't you accept that Pisces are emotional?

I think its referring to the fact pisces express their emotions and want others to feel them to. maybe aquarius doesn't like the baggage?

I noticed when the mental stimulation is gone then an Aquarius can change their tune quicker than anyone. Also when a person starts getting too close emotionally in ways they are not ready for or don't prefer at that time then they can be pretty cold. But like you said it comes down to common interest and when that bridge has passed an Aquarius can leave people in the dust whether your ready or not emotionally. That is a strength in a way I wish I had. There have been many people in my life who have overstayed and I let it get to a point where resentment built up and I got too loyal based on the past. I just still miss the Aquarius woman I got attached too. I even got her into the zodiac and called her Aquarius woman instead her real name which she liked . When I was free spirited and unavailable I noticed she wanted me more. When I started talking about us getting more be serious in a way it scared her off. She was use to being the man in the relationship with control and I wanted to take care of her Cancer style when she didn't need that from me on a daily basis.

I just feel so dumb now as she was fine with the way I was but I felt like I owed her more because she gave me so much. In hindsight I really felt comfortable being myself around her and wish I stayed true to who I was and hadn't overthought things. Something she told me many times. My Leo in Venus wanted her to know how special she was to me but it wasn't even needed as there was underlying respect between the both of us yet I was afraid she didn't know it at the same time.

My Libra friend once told how he looked at his Aquarius woman "Well I learned how to share". Meaning let them see if others can be as special as you are. I believe if you give an Aquarian their freedom "truly" they will come back around and reward you in ways that others in the zodiac can't but you can't put an exact date on it. Thats the appeal of it to me, I just had to realize with my situation there was another person that they had more of a connection with longer that they actually loved/had children with that trumped whatever I felt like I had built up between us. It was a good 6 years with that other person and we were casual friends for like 8 months. I didn't realize that Aquarians are loyal like Cancers are to people they love but it probably takes even more time than it does with us. The appeal to me in it is that I didn't feel this Aquarius woman would judge my past, I truly didn't. I felt like I didn't have to worry about it when I was around her. I just didn't want to have to start over with someone else who I felt like would be inferior to this person in what I wanted in my future. I wanted them to be free but I knew finding someone as unique as them would be difficult and that is where the sadness kicked in. I had been selfish in may ways in terms of love and it taught me to give without expecting anything in return.

A good Cancer female of mine put it in perspective as her Mercury is in Gemini and said she loved the guy bit he took her for granted and she needed someone who could be there for her emotionally when she needed it and I was that guy and that she liked me on some level. She said that she might not have had anyone take an interest in her emotionally as I did and it scared her. This Cancer female I know is in love with me and someone i trust because we have so much time under our belts and she told me that if I wanted something serious it would trump whoever she was with at the time which made me feel better in understanding where Aquarius woman was coming from. I just know we are too similar and Aquarius being the opposite its more appealing for me especially with my moon being in Pisces attracted to that sign especially.

Have you tried reaching out to them?

I kind of read it as ..it's always her doing that. Some people are less ...giving socially. I don't know that is the case. I read it as if the op had not been the operator ..the relationship would have sunk. You can hold the ball on your own for a while...in friendships...then you have to throw it ..it doesn't always come back.

the friendships were always mutual. I am not a type to chase after friends, I've always been quite shy and if i feel not 100% comfortable i will just leave it alone. No i haven't tried reaching out to them. ON some level it doesn't entirely bother me, i have heaps of other friends, and dont want to waste it on sketchy ones

As in about my day or something related to me. I hate conversations where it's about two people I don't even know or not related to me.

Do you want to talk about the other person and their life if it's not similar to yours or relating to your interests?

Conversation is a two way street. Both persons should strictly talk about themselves or their life. Not other people.

Ok well that's not how i work I respect that. But we couldn't be friends. That's fine :-) You need to find someone like you i guess :-)
So you like to gossip about other people and their life? You don't want to talk about your life or the other person's life who you're speaking to?


All the above. oh yeah ...I do want to talk about the other person and their life. I want to talk about others too though.

I have issues speaking about myself. I find it hard if i don't know the person well. Also you find ...well I have only one me...i mean if i meet five peeps at a party wouldn't have the same convo over and over?? I speak about me once that day I am done! Yeah i want to hear about all about you..and how your life your family your friends etc ...but that means talking about people not related to me...and then your friends friends ..cuz you KNOW your friends have been coming to you with their problems..(well my friends do)...



I tend to worry if i talk about myself i am ...being too self centered..it seems ...i dunno

Mostly i just let the convo flow..

You would possibly hate me. 😛

You don't understand what I'm saying. I would like to know about the life/day of the person I'm talking to as well as talk about myself. I just couldn't care less to talk about random people in my conversation with the other person. I hope this is clear enough. Also, I don't hate anyone. No one is worthy of my hate and for me to drown myself in such a nasty emotion.

I have had friends like this in the past and the reason they are in the past was because they always expected me to reach out, or suggest things or take the first step. do you see how draining that can be? Friendship is a two way street and if only one is doing all the reaching it feels very one sided. Most Aquas will let it die if they feel this way. IMO.

@HighTide - your first paragraph summed up aqua/cancer relationship in a nutshell. It's beautiful and it can last if both signs can get past their flaws. I really like Cancers because they are complementary to me, but they can be very aggravating.

Like your account, it was a cancer guy who got me interested in astrology.

My point is that Aquas are more closed off than Cancers. Cancer, if made to feel comfortable, can open up much quicker than an Aqua. I attract Cancers the most to me because they can open up to me but it's not easy for me to open up to Cancers or anyone for that matter. Thr following story will sum up the problem:

I knew this Cancer guy who opened up to me because I showed interest in him by asking him all sorts of questions. I wanted to get to know him. I found it fascinating how easily he opened up given the reputation of Cancers and that he told me he's closed off. The thing is that the sooner he opened up, the sooner he wanted to establish physical contact (Cancers are touchy feely) whereas I still hadn't opened up to him. He failed to get me to open up to him and so I rejected his physical advances. I know that he perceived his opening up to me as mutual. Since I know how Cancer men operate, I figured that he would hurt me now to get back at me for feeling rejected. He toyed with me until I punked him off. We had a fall out and since I hate burning bridges with people, I went up and beyond to make amends so that I could part ways with him on good terms. I think I was successful and that was that. I really liked this dude and it's unfortunate that nothing came of it. ?

Cancers overthink and then overreact causing destruction. Aquas are too prideful to deal with their emotional outbursts and petty passive aggressive nonsense they pull.

I totally agree with you here! I hate talking about myself. I'd much rather hear the entertaining lives of others. Not in a bad bitchy way, I just am incredibly curious, about everyone and it takes the pressure off of making sure you're interesting enough

I disappear on people when I feel like we have nothing in common or have nothing interesting to talk about. Also, over the years I'm usually the person that reaches out first and tries to make friendships work. I used to adore my friends. But after constantly getting disappointed and getting older, I don't feel like trying. I'm tired and I don't care. However, when I'm with them I'm very present and happy go lucky. It's getting harder to capture my attention these days, I'd rather keep my head in the clouds.
