I think that that's exactly why air signs have such reputations. Being logical enough to give both sides of any story a fair listen. Trying to explain logic to someone who is more emotionally motivated is like trying to pry your own teeth out. It goes against their core nature, and as such when they pour out their heart to an air sign only to find that the said air sign is also listening to someone else's point of view, they can feel slighted and even betrayed.

Well there are always two + sides to a story, multiple perspectives to everything. Gemini in particular can chop and change a lot, viewing things passionately from one angle one moment, only to change that to another in the next. Libra may have the tendency to take on the underrepresented side to balance the scales, while aqua sometimes likes to thrown an outrageous perspective into the mix to shake things up a bit.

Aquarians get the hypocrite title a lot, Librans are labelled wishy-washy and Geminis are forever stamped with being twofaced.

I'm not sure how hypocrisy or being twofaced is related to being logical and having the ability to see both sides?

Well, they're true, aren't they? All signs have negative traits.
They're usually the most interesting traits as well.click to expand

i dont disagree with that but there are reasons behind the so called hypocrisy. Aquas have bad traits just like any other sign but hypocrisy isnt one of them.
i feel aquas can act in the greater interest for all but can be blind to their own biases and self interest. I.e. An aqua protesting for equal income but because their neighbor has a flatscreen and he doesnt. Its like hes accusing bankers of being selfish but is blind to his own.click to expand

Isnt logic = reasoning or sound judgment? Now how can you make sound judgment or reason without seeing opposing views? And seeing opposing views is what get people stamped with being twofaced etc.
Sound judgment is brought about by wisdom. The ability to see the consequences of ones action.
U can see opposing views but u dont need to. A defendant will put forth and argument and a judge will see if his argument is valid. U dont have to analyze both and multitask.click to expand

Okay... I'mma try to find a way to explain this.
Take your Judge for example.
They make a decision on whether the defendent is guilty or not, based on logic and knowledge of the law. They see both sides of the coin, and come to the best conclusion they can based on the laws they uphold. This is the Judge being Logical.
If the Judge, after covicting the defendent of murder, rape, theft... whatever, was to go out and do those same things (the things they swore to protect against), they would be a hypocrite or two faced.
Does that make sense?

but we do see opposing views, its not a choice...it happens that way whether we like it or not. Maybe its easier for others to just NOT SEE, but it doesnt work like that with air signs, both sides need to be understood before making a personal decision.
im sure its not just an air sign trait as well tho some signs can be close minded.click to expand

yeah it makes sense but the example is too extreme for what I'm trying to say here.
Lets take abortion for example, I may be against it but I'll still understand why people do it. And if i were to say that infront of other anti-abortion campaigners, they would see me as being some kind of a phony etc. Another example, lets say we are campaigning outside an abortion clinic and I happen to talk to one of the girls who is about to get an abortion. She tells me that she needs to go study or whatever and the pregnancy would interfere with that etc, meaning carrying full term & give it up for adoption is not a possibility...if it her story is understandable then I wont judge her for her actions even thou I still dont believe in the act itself. I dont know if you get me.
That's fine, because your actions still match up with your ideas or beliefs.
For you to get an abortion would be hypocrisy... since you are the one who's against it.click to expand

I have never met a non-emotional Gemini, Aquarius and especially a damn Libra - they're always reacting on their feelings.
Earth signs are what I would call logical.

Air without any water scares me

Posted by DazedScorp
@Watercup...
I understand that you're an air sign, but you do have a large amount of water in your chart. For me, I believe that one thing air dominant charts lack (especially air moons), is the ability to empathize with others. With you having that ability (large amounts of water), maybe it helps to sway your beliefs just a tad.
That's not a bad thing of course. It just helps you see that the world just can't be a simple black and white. That certain situations need to be handled a bit differently. Such as your case, a pregnancy by way of rape would lead to an abortion. And since that is your belief, and if you did that... you still wouldn't be a hypocrite.
Who knows really.
I will say this though, that if your beliefs on abortion include having the option in that extreme situation... then that's what you should advocate. Not just to rid of it completely, because you may wind up in that situation some day (Let's hope not of course), and then you're stuck.
Just remember, that when you preach your beliefs, be sure to stand by them and follow them. If not, consider yourself a hypocrite. Unless your actions fail to match your beliefs, I won't consider you a hypocrite.

I think it's got a lot to do with them being polite and apparently friendly to people they don't actually like. Makes them good prostitutes (just saying!) Carrie Fisher (Libra) once said something like "sometimes you have to be nice to people you basically wouldn't want to piss on if they were on fire".
I think this would be the reason.
I can listen to a person explain how someone is horrible and nod and agree and the next moment be chatty with the person I just agreed can be horrible. Though that depends of the degree of horribleness. I have taken a stand for people I've considered to be my friends and "pledged allegiance" and cut out someone else (I don't know how much of that is the Leo and Aries in me). When I do that, I stand firmly behind my decision. Though I've noticed that other people do not do the same for me, so I'm not sure who's the freaking wishy washy person in this scenario :-)

I tend to agree with this....
as per usual, WC is inciting negativity and tumultousness to "air" sign placements. There's ALOT of people on this site with air dominant and many more air moons too. It's inciting towards those who have double air and dominant air.click to expand

What a little problem to think too much about! Well, how about "just avoid" doing it? No one can ever stop what other people think of you unless you change yourself and live for the better. Accepting something is the beginning of one's improvement. It is hard... but the truth will set you free...
Personally IMO, I haven't really met any air sign that's just like that... Or maybe because I don't bother...

Posted by DazedScorpPosted by WaterCup
Regarding being water dominant doesnt actually make me empathetic at all. I still need to understand before I can actually 'feel' for another person. A person can tell me all the sob stories in the world, but if I dont get it then I wont be feeling sorry for them. Understanding comes before feeling with me.
To understand one's situation is to empathize with them.click to expand

Posted by lisabethur8
well you don't seem to have any FEELINGS for people on this site who have dominant air and chalk it up to them being the most terrible unfeeling. You incite people to feel PARANOIA against any air placements and you generalize it to have them be hypocritical, when you know very well that hypocrisy is, for example: PREACHING something like do not smoke and then you smoke yourself, or telling others to go ahead and get an abortion when you are against it yourself.

here is your chance to 'rewrite', do just that. What do you think they are ruled by if not logic? And why do you think logic is more suitable for earth and not air?
i can assure you that there are no hurt feelings on my part & the post to you wasnt meant to be snarky, just an innocent question cause it got me curious. Your reaction from it got a 'lmao ' out of me too, so at least we made each other laugh today..thanks 🙂
LOL. See that's petty. Your feelings hurt?
You just proved my point. You want to take a random jab at a word I wrote as if you just wrote verbatim to some grammar rules & usage handbook? lmfaooooclick to expand

wtf!? LOL I'm too through.

omggg I haven't laughed this hard in a minute....

Oh no no no don't try to back track now because you're just giving yourself away.
I never said it was snarky or even meant it in that way at all. I said petty as in a trival point to react on out of everything I typed.
Don't try to project on me.

The same reason why people say Scorpios are manipulative scary mofos, Taureans are lazy and indolent and Leos are all arrogant pricks. In general, people dosn't take astrology that seriously and they don't care to dig deeper. They don't really try to understand astrology. So those "accusations" are not to be taken to heart.click to expand

Aquarians get the hypocrite title a lot, Librans are labelled wishy-washy and Geminis are forever stamped with being twofaced.
Air signs are mostly driven by logic than anything else. Have you ever watched those court shows on tv? The judge ALWAYS listens to both the plaintiff and the defendant before making any kind of judgment, its the only logical thing to do. And WE are logical creatures, so you cant expect us not to play both sides of any given situation, we are trying to feel both sides to come up with an unbiased final word.
Geminis are two faced, but its not like they aim to harm people theyre just running their mouths, Libras wishy washy, Aquas dont like to ruffle feathers.
But the logic you speak of is there along with the hypocrisy, theyre both there.
To give you an example, my Libra asc, huge part of my personality. People that are close to me will get angry or think im being disloyal if I got my Libra asc cap on and say. " why would you do that to them though, do they really deserve it, let's put this in perspective here was there malicious intent?" Theyll be mad like why the F are you not on my side.
But with air signs Ive always got information back from someone else, information that I only told the air sign, and they repeated it to other parties. It's just hte nature of air. It flows freely , changes directions many times.click to expand
