is Aquarius the favorite sign?

you know when you ask "what sign would you wanna be besides your own?" and most of the answer is Aquarius..

So my question is.. why? and what's so good/special about aquarius?

LOL You Virgos I swear!! 😛

Well I wondered the same thing but it was funny how Virgo like you worded it. Made me chuckle anyway 🙂

Aqua is a pretty neutral sign though, seriously. Everyone pretty much gets along with them...you don't see alot of hate on their behalf. The only people I've known to have problems with them were scorned exes. Haha. *shrug*

It drives me nuts how Aquas really don't care about anyone but themselves...and don't even try and pretend they do. In fact, they don't really care what anyone else thinks either way. How FRUSTRATING.

I kind of envy them though...weasels. I wish I could care that little.
I wish I could only ever do whatever I wanted and not care who that bothered.
😱

Don't ya think it would be very peaceful afterwards?

lololololloolololololololol

i think sagittarius is the "favorite" sign. aqua is OK but they do run a very close second.

Well their my favorite...but I didn't want to say so, since I'm obviously biased. 😄

Sagittarius, that is. 😉

I hate to admit it but this time one Aquarian might be dead on.

Negatory. See, these nukes. Well, they have deze chemicals in dem. They make places really radioactive and stewuf. Um! Since we um, get stuff, liek, we are trade partners with em, we eeeerrr....ummm....would just took out a valuable trade partner. Umm...umm....the mass of death would er uh, kinda, like, LEWK baaad and stuff. And uh, liek, the shear of emotional pain and loss of potential life would be super NOT kewl. So um....kthnxbai.

Please look at the consequences and understand technology and its effects on the world. The shear nuclear power of today has no tactical advantage on any situation other than what happened during the cold war - a means of deterrence.

ROFL! Who is this guy and where did he come from?

This thread makes no sense.

..true, it makes no do $ $ ars, either! =)

Anyone who is not related to an aqua or been in a serious relationship with one will think they're wonderful - because they go to a lot of trouble to make people think that. My mother, father, and older sister are all aquas and they are three of the most horrible people on the planet. I do mean that sincerely. I know only a select few aquas that seem to be genuinely decent people. But the majority I've known [and that is many] have been some of the biggest assholes once you really get to know them - not the facade they put up because they want everyone to like them. They're complete detachment from humanity means they have no qualms with lying and using people.

I totally agree.

I have yet to come across an Aquarius that I don't like..I know quite a few aquarians..and maybe I am biased here but i love my nephew to death and he has got to be the coolest Aqua around..sooo chilled out and polite and just generally a bloody nice fella..

I would have to agree with her on this... I never really thought much of Aquas but recently I've been seeing a whole other side to them. There detachment to emotions can make them a bit self-centered and selfish since they are unable to put themselves in someone else's shoes. Aqua moon placement is bad too.

Yeah everyone gets along with them and they can detach themselves from anyone, wish I could do that.

Tuscan_sun, the original statement was to the effect that everyone loves aquas and would rather be one than their own sign - quite clearly the responses here have proven that theory false. That is the main point, not that every sign doesn't have it's faults. I am a taurus and I will be the first to admit that I'm am stubborn as hell, possessive, and have a TEMPER when you get me riled up. No one is perfect, but aquas [generalization] really take the cake - it's not that THEY have no emotions, they are simply detached from the rest of humanity. i.e. don't care about others, their needs, and their emotions.

A perfect example: my father used to talk about a "friend" of his that he said everyone used because he had money and then when the guy didn't have money anymore no one wanted to talk to him. Of course.... the only time my dad talked to him or hung out with him was when he'd come over with a pizza and a bottle Don Julio, otherwise he ignores his calls...... apparently the "intelligent" aqua doesn't grasp the concept of irony......

And believe me, that's a very mild example of the aquarian flaw.

Not all of them and not everyone has the typical traits of their sign.

I am aware of what's being discussed. The generalisation is a little extreme. Can't we all spare the one's that are actually innocent of such accusations.

Lol that's what a generalization is, it's a general idea and does not necessarily encompass everyone that it pertains too.

yes.... in the defination YOU just posted it says EITHER of all members OR an indefinite part..... and usually the act of pointing out that one is generalizing is an effort to acknowledge the existence of exceptions.....

And since I did say I knew a select few who seemed to be genuinely decent that would automatically indicate that I did not literally mean ALL aquas.... however I have studied astrology for two decades and can say that the overwhelming majority of aquas I have met or even learned of from others' experiences have been the undesirable sort described here.

*definition. Pardon my typo.

Use generalization in a Sentence
—noun 1. the act or process of generalizing.
2. a result of this process; a general statement, idea, or principle.

3. Logic. a. a proposition asserting something to be true either of all members of a certain class or of an indefinite part of that class.

Posting that definition was kind of redundant...

wow.... I don't mean to be rude but I honestly don't see how I could make that statement any clearer; you would have to have serious reading comprehension issues not to understand it.......

No offense taken.

It wasn't really an insult, just a simple statement of fact, anyhow. I don't have to dislike, or be insulting someone to suggest that their reading comprehension is lacking. If it is, then it is, and this particular situation....makes a strong suggestion...... Sort of like saying "you think that grass is grey? Then it appears you are color blind...."

And I did specifically say that I did not intend to be rude! 🙂

it is quite clearly a generalization........as indicated by the word "generalization" in parentheses.

i heard and like this idea that latter signs are better (or more evolved?) than earlier ones; who do you like better? intelligent saggitarius's or immature aries; empathetic pisces? or moody cancers?

😄
This conversation has totally turned retarded.
My head hurts.

Perhaps this conversation would've ended in more "cheerleading" had it been a scorpio.

i really dont like this aquarius chic at my job...talk about one backstabbing slut!

Its a genuine question though 😄 Im well aware of how Pisceans can overextend themselves with their "feelings and hunches" and yadda yadda, thinking they can always replace facts.

LOL! 🙂

Even as an obvious generalization as you put in brackets that's extreme bullshit for the most part. Many of the Aqaus I have met are all about giving back to humanity often in ways that they want to help less fortunate people. Whether or not you want to take that as a front or not the bottom line is they were out there in food lines, building houses for Katrina victims and donating money. They didn't always let people know they were doing these things either so it's not like they expected retribution for it. That isn't to say I haven't met Aquas who were assholes. There was this one guy with a blond fro and thick black rimmed glasses who had a voice that was a cross between Fran from The Nanny and Christopher Walken. To put it simply, he was a real piece of work.

In regards to whether I'd prefer to be an Aquarius or any other sign I'd have to say hell nah. I'm content with who I am and when I was born. I like summer bdays far better anyway. 😉

The responses here (yours in particular) have proven--quite clearly--that everyone's obsessed with us and everything about us.

Actually the only one you can claim is obsessed with aquarians is the person who started this thread. Everyone else just responded to a ridiculous and unfounded statement. And I happen to have a lot of experience with aquarians and particularly of a close nature, so I'd hardly call my interest in the topic an obsession.

Extreme bullshit? Hardly. You must not know many aquas. That or you're fooled by their thin attempts to LOOk altruistic.

There were what thousands, hundreds of thousands, of people handing out food and building houses for katrina victims? What do you know about math and the law of averages? If that's your sampling no wonder you're fooled. And in case the fact escaped your attention there were tons of people of other signs out there too - including other signs that are known for being extrememly selfish.

Gee what a surprise that you would find a large sampling of kind hearted people of any particular sign involved in a mass effort to help people..... I would have thought there would be at least ONE sign that had absolutely NO representation there..... (Apparently I have to spell things out for people, so, by the way, that was sarcasm)

"I would"

So I guess since your next post refers to my being a taurus then you must be obsessed with taurus right? According to YOUR logic......

This thread is ridiculous....O_o

You missed the point entirely. You've been fooled into thinking that because the Aquas you've met were unemotional or uncaring that you assume many of them are like that as well. As I said, many of the ones I've met are humanitarians who genuinely care about helping the less fortunate. And also as I've pointed out, I have meant an Aquarius who can say is a jerk and completely selfish. Of course I know that every sign can have both of those traits. On the other hand, even though you say that what you've mentioned is a generalization you seem to have some disdain for Aquariuses based on encounters you've had with this particular sign. Never did I say that there weren't other people from every different sign helping out Katrina victims. Duh. But congrats for reading stereotypical sites that say Aquarises are emotionally detached and linking that with every single one you meet. That's sarcasm for you. 😉

Sorry for all the typos by the way. Night night time for me. ^_^

I didn't miss your point - you don't listen. Like you didn't listen to any of the stuff I said about aquarians FAKING being altruistic, or about how they have to be a serious part of your life [family or relationship] for you to see the real them - the people that go home at the end of the day don't know what it's like when you're with them for extended periods of time and they get bored with playing their part, OR when they tire of you or don't need anything from you. You ALSO missed the part where I said I have studied astrology for two decades - not read a few aquarian profiles on websites - but actually studied astrology and studied people of all the signs and actually know about them from personal research. I find out the sign of EVERYONE I know and I observe and I keep track and I LEARN. That's how scientists do research too, but I guess you won't accept THEIR research unless they test EVERY person on the planet as well, huh?.... and since you're obviously confused - I'm not talking about meeting a couple of people that were assholes and hating all aquarians - I'm talking about decades of research and meeting TONS of aquarians who were exactly as I've described them AS WELL AS discussing aquarians that others know with them and hearing that they've had the exact same experiences.

well, my son (2) is an aqua and everyone, young or old, seems to adore him. he's very likeable even for a 2 year old. then again, he hangs out with mostly older kids and is more on their level than his peers. everyone keeps telling me he's advanced but i think he's a pretty normal kid. *shrug*

yeah, i don't know too many aquas i don't like... except for my ex's mom. she bitches a LOT. particularly about men. that femi-nazi stuff drives me nuts!

xangelfishx, you missed my point once again and are also assuming that I didn't listen to yours; which I did. And thanks for assuming that I don't have relatives or close friend that aren't Aquarians. As well assuming that Aquas are phony because the ones you've encountered were or "observed" as you put it. There are phonies in every sign mind you--this I am well aware of, but that doesn't mean every single Aquarius is a fake. The point you completely missed was that I was giving an example of how Aquarius are not like what you stated based on my experience with some of them and also I have an example of a person I met who was on the "darkside" of an Aquas and did fit your description of them to a tee. I wanted to show why saying that they have a particular trait--like the negative ones you've mentioned does not apply to all Aquarians (only some).

Pay attention. You're not the only one on this site who has delved heavily into the research of astrology. Reading books, browsing websites and observing people about a particular sign still does not constitute as sound means to apply the demeaning traits you've listed to all members of that sign. I'm glad you at least have realized that what you said was a generalization though unfortunately failed to realize that it wasn't b.s. to a certain extent. Anyway, some people really need to get over being hurt by a particular sign and then deciding to hate all of them because of it. It's so silly and just acts as a hindrance. That's all I have to say about that and all these other threads that have posts that say things like, "All of this sign sucks" or "I never wanna date another person of this sign again because they're all lame".

Yikes if more than one Aqua hates you, you more than likely have more than one of the characteristic we despise in people, which means we despise YOU! To all Aqua haters, we really don't give a Hoot, what you think of us, so jump in a lake or somethink. Nothing to prove to YOU fools! 🙂 Tada!

"you know when you ask "what sign would you wanna be besides your own?" and most of the answer is Aquarius..

So my question is.. why? and what's so good/special about aquarius?"

Personally, I wouldn't choose Aquarius, but on the surface, Aquarius is the most neutral and safest choice, since it is the sign of friendship.
I'd choose Sagittarius because that's my second birth chart and basically where my heart is!
