Pinning Down Aquarius Moon

Understanding Aquarius Moon in Relationships

Aquarius Moon individuals tend to seek emotional independence and value intellectual connection. They often display detachment and may struggle with commitment, especially in complex situations involving other signs. Recognizing their need for freedom and unique emotional expression can help in understanding their behavior and managing expectations in relationships.

I do notice there are already a few threads dedicated to Aquarius moon so please bear with me on this new thread. I have more specific situation here I would like to talk about Aquarius moon.

People who remember me would remember I have a dealing with a Cancer sun guy for many years, which takes an extremely slow development but nevertheless at this stage now, quite surely. But I think his Aquarius characteristics now seem to provide some frustrating dilly dallying and twists and turns between committing and detaching. I am not sure but I feel as if at certain stage he is trying to push the ball to my side wanting me to initiate or make up on the ‘rules’ of commitment instead of him proposing it. But I’m not sure as to how serious or committed I should take this, fear of getting totally burned and hurt in the end.

Sorry for the vague premise. I’ll come back with more details later. Would appreciate any inputs 😊

-updated-

I wanna share my story and I wanna get inputs from you all here, but I don’t know where to start or how to say this... 😓

Perhaps, I’m baffled why the guy wants to have sex with me so much.

I told him I don’t want to have sex with him anymore because he just revealed to me he has been hooking up with other girls and receiving heads. I asked him why he wouldn’t have sex with them he said all he needed was heads. I told him that he should go ahead with the other girls that he could have but he said he just wants me. He said he’s willing to wait a few months until he comes back to have sex with me. I challenged him to wait until then without hooking up and getting heads from other girls anymore to which he agrees, but I refused because frankly speaking, I feel hurt and betrayed now even though I know I have no right to this. And he’s holding me up for breaking my ‘promise’ because we sort of agreed all this while to have sex when he comes back here in the next few months...

-updated-

We are in a “friends with benefits” arrangement without commitment. But we sort of established an unspoken rule of exclusivity. Occasionally, he would check on me asking if I’m seeing someone and I can sense he would feel assured that I didn’t. Then other times, he would tell me that I should find someone steady and get married (we are both in our early 30s)... nowadays I would respond to this by just saying “OK” and “thank you” to him (actually the same way I respond to everybody else in my life. I’m not sure if I’m sensing correctly that he actually doesn’t feel comfortable that I respond that way, he would usually follow very quickly to talk about us hooking up as if to remind me that we have this arrangement. So what does this guy want from me, really?

@AerialView, I guess that’s a good thing for me! I do know that, and props to him, he has always been very honest with me, but it hurts me again and again. He doesn’t want commitment so he keeps me hanging on like this all at his terms...

He wanted you to stop acting cold to him.

Well I’m an aqua moon. For me, I tend to be pretty hesitant and detached until I feel it’s a safe place for my emotions. I typically always wait for the guy to express his emotions first. It doesn’t mean I don’t have them, it’s a matter of if I’m willing to feel them. If you get me to feel them, commitment isn’t far behind. I have no problem with commitment, for the right person.
Ditto to this.

I would like to work on this with him because I feel there is more to this.

In the midst of our repartee when I told him I didn’t wanna have sex with him anymore, he actually commented that it is amazing how we ended up like this. I clarified (because I was in the midst of feeling hurt and betrayed) if he meant us losing sleep now for this lengthy midnight conversation but he specifically pointed out about our current status, “sex and all”, and said that he would have “did” me back then (referring to us more than 10 years ago) since he did have a crush on me. He has always brought up about him having a crush on me back then so this wasn’t something new. It makes wonder what he really means him bringing this up so often because what difference does it make, then, now or future, in the timeline, if all he wants is just sex with me, he got it now. I also make a mental note that Cancer (his sun sign) likes reminiscing a lot so I wonder if it doesn’t mean anything special.

@AerialView, how am I being cold towards him?

I never hide how much I like him, in fact when we first started contact again, I have told him I love him a lot, since back then. It wasn’t the best strategy with him, he pulled back and it took a lot and very long to get where we are today me and him now. I am always willing to do what he wants from me to the point he probably thinks I’m phony/easy. I can sense sometimes he’s in disbelief and since yesterday when I retracted my willingness to have sex with him and other things, he actually said I finally have some backbones. This guy is oblivious of my devotion towards him?

I have learnt this guy is different. He doesn’t necessarily follow normal conventions, so this is why I wanna understand from the Aquarius perspective about this.

I want him. I want him to want me. I want him to want to have a relationship with me. He said he wants me, but I’m not sure if he wants a relationship with me?

I’m scared to ask to be exclusive, I’m scared to push him away, because like I mentioned, it has pushed him away before and it took a lot and very long for us to finally get this close and for him to be this comfortable and trusting with me.

If that's what you want don't settle! Take a step back..... Let him come to you. Be aloof.. Just like an aqua moon. Then slowly get him to understand what you want.... You're giving him TOO much... He knows he can take.. Back off.. It will work.

Anyway, I have asked him if he wants to be my boyfriend, he said no and proceeded to block me and ignore me elsewhere...

I think he’s upset with me...

@coldwateryvirgo, I’ve been sticking around since forever so this isn’t really an issue for me. I know what I got myself into and I know the patience needed for it. This is why I’m here trying to get inputs in hopes I can understand the emotional functions of Aquarius more. As expected enough he didn’t agree to be my boyfriend. But things have been going well with us. He has become very consistent and assuring in his response delay and frequency. He has even started showing concern for my well being, asking about my new job, my financial situation, etc. and telling me to find someone & get married if that is part of it 😌 when I say that I know he cares about me, he always seems flustered and quickly protests that he doesn’t. What is up with that when he obviously does? 😁

He calls me a “friend” but insists to establish “friends with benefits” status, and always claim that there is nothing more if not friends with benefits, that means he won’t even bother becoming friends to hang out with or to date. When I refused to have sex with him anymore, he kept pushing for it and kept saying that he wants me.

I heard that being referred to as a “friend” by Aquarius is a very significant thing. Please, fellow Aquarius, tell me about it! 🙂

I have an aqua moon and I actually refer to everyone as my "friend" in the most nonchalant way without even meaning to do it
