I have Venus in Aquarius and I can relate but I believe with maturity and learning about it I have been able to deal with some of the negative aspects of it.
I would love to hear from some people who also have it, people with astrology wisdom, and from people that have had our kind in their lives.
The 'detachment' can be both good and bad I believe but I don't like the bad side to it. 😢 I am working at overcoming it and I do believe I have made progress but I would love a better understanding of it from real people I can interact with on it.
Thanks in advance folks! 🙂

This is my chart:

It is often said that Aquarius is the sign of extreme aloofness, that despite the very outgoing, gregarious outer nature, these people can switch off from a relationship just like that, almost on a whim, as if the partner is of insignificance. This is not strictly true - yes, it is an Aqaurian trait but it all depends on the rest of the chart. Plenty of sentiment and warmth elsewhere in the chart will largely override this.

However, when someone has Venus in Aqaurius, then this trait will very likely show in their nature.
It is said that this placement contributes more of a magnetic, glamorous attraction than any other. This is of course excellent but can bring about false hopes and wishes with their partners whom only too soon realise how unattainable the person may really be. For despite this magnetic attraction, Venus in Aquarius is a very detached placement indeed. People who get to know them intimately will find it a confusing side to their nature that is otherwise so bubbly and warm. They can appear very detached emotionally, maybe feeling more at home with a group of people than spending time alone with partners. Freedom is absolutely essential to them - possessiveness and clinging they can not deal with at all. It could even be that friendships are more valuable to them than partnerships, and for this reason they themselves are maybe best suited to Aquarian people or at any rate those with a strong dose of Aquarius in their chart. However, the more I deal with Venus in Aquarius people as friends, the more it becomes clear to me that even as friendships there is a difficulty that arises from this detachment that they possess. Something is missing, even as friends.
?? We are only what we are and therefore it must be difficult for everyone who has Venus in Aquarius to envisage what it is like to be on the receiving end of this strange detached aloofness. One minute they can be loving and impassioned, the next strangely aloof. Believe me, it is not pleasant to the recipient and certainly leads to confusion and feelings of uncertainty, not knowing quite where they stand. If you are one of these people, all you can do is be aware of it: you can not change your Venus sign, therefore can not change this side to your nature.

All I am trying to convey is the harm it can cause through no real fault of your own. You think highly of being open and honest, so therefore love must be based on a solid friendship, but again please try to be aware of the capricious Aquarian nature in these matters, for another typically Aquarian trait is their ability to simply switch off and exit a relationship as if it meant nothing to them, regardless of what has gone before. Imagine the hurt that causes, and with Venus, the planet of love, in this notorious sign, this is where there is potential for most damage from this very profound detachment.
??Venus in Aquarius is freethinking and gives the perosn their own definite individual style . A very positive side to Venus in Aquarius is theirability to get on well with practically everyone, regardless of their status or origin, etc. They are likely to have many friends, but also a variety of very different friends. In general terms, they are very sociable and charming, but not necessarily on a personal basis - they truly value their freedom and independence. Their ideas of sexual morality may also be coloured by this highly individualistic sign - sod what the rest think, they have their own interpretations of these issues and will do what they think! And we must not overlook intellectual stimulation - very important to Venus in any of the air signs.

I got that from selfhelpastrology.com. I can be detached when I feel the person has lost interest or isn't exhibiting feelings for me and I can really turn feelings off when I feel it's needed as a defense. I do disagree with it on a friendship level b/c I have such a strict friend code in that I am a very faithful and devoted friend and will try and always be available to my friends. Friends are EXTREMELY important to me! I am not just social on a superficial level but I develop super strong ties with my friends.
Of course I am also not this way when it comes to my close family members, especially my children but I can be detached when it comes to family that I don't have a close relationship with. I am like super glue tight with my two children.

What about you? I don't want that detached thing keeping me from eventually having a close relationship with someone special but I must agree that I also value having independence in my life very highly. If a man can give me that as well and it's balanced then I will be a happy clam! I would think that some men would love that as well as I am not a clingy woman and I will let him have his independence as well b/c if there is trust I don't see anything wrong with that.

I went on a few dates with a guy who had a venus in aquarius. Seemed like a really nice guy, but never got to a lovey dovey point with him so never experienced the aloofness. I mean he doesn't text me much, but me being a sag I like that in a guy. Hate when they call/text too much cus I feel like they're too clingy.

All I've heard about venus in aquarius is that they are retarded in love. More like a sign best suited for friendships, and maybe that's all you want 🙂 I mean there are some people in this world who are made to be single. It's all up to you and what you want tho...if you want to overcome this venus in aquarius you can do it

Thank you happykitsune, I do believe that you can work anything out when you are aware of it. That is why I like knowing the negative traits so that I can make a conscious effort to overcome them. 🙂

@69Virgo-Nice to hear that you two have a great marriage and have worked it out. I do know there's hope b/c of the Pisces and Scorp I know that I have a very loving and caring side too but it has to be tempered with freedom and I have to have affirmation or that's when I notice that detachment really starting to rear it's head.

@Seadream-I can totally relate to that and if things are set right right away then I can move on pretty easily and sometimes never return to the same feelings for that person. I am always friends with my exes but I just can lose all other feelings for them if it goes too far.

@Kstarks2-If I love you then you better believe I will be there for you and show you that love in so many ways but when scorned or ignored that detachment can come in and the wall is up. I think it can be a good thing in some ways b/c it helps me to move on quickly when a relationship isn't right for me b/c I am not sitting around pining away for too long. I think it also helps us not to be too clingy and obsessed.

@Starfish-I think it can be a good placement in a lot of ways too especially having a Pisces sun, Scorp moon and Cancer rising b/c that helps with the caring and loving part that can override the aloofness in most cases. It does make me more of a rational thinker too and not too crazy and possessive in a relationship. I just don't want to appear detached without realizing it and scare someone away with it. I know I have been told that sometimes I do come across as aloof or stand offish to men when they first meet me even though I am still friendly to them.

@Cappyluv-Tell me more about this! How was he as a person? Did you like his qualities overall? I know everything wasn't hunky dory I guess since he is your ex but I am curious about how he was since we do match charts almost entirely. 🙂

I have a venus in aqua. And a sag sun. I can't either! Too make a long story sort I've needed unconventional and have only ever gotton conventional.

I try to push myself into the " Rule book of relationships and love" but than I ended up resenting it and end up going physco on whoever I'm dating and than usually they dump me because I can't seem to dump them.

I don't really care to be involved in whoevers I'm datings life. Like I don't want to meet their friends, I don't want to hang with their mom, I don't want to see where they work. I just don't fucking care it's your life I'll see you when I see you.

I don't want them to be involved in mine either.

I want the relationship to just be US we go to the movie, we make love, we go paris. Whatever and than return to our own lives.

I think it's really important for people to have their "own world" to be stable and happy.


I don't know tho that is just how I feel. I haven't really met anyone whos felt the same. I just don't think you have to share everything to be in love and committed.

I'm only 21 tho, so heres hoping🙂

I like that.

In fact, I think if you were to share that upfront in a blunt straightforward way, like you have here, you would be able to find someone receptive to it.

I'm the type of person who would love that arrangement.

The problems happen when it's not communicated and you find out later on down the road that the other person had a different perspective or plan.

You lay out your list upfront and you can weed out the ones that don't work for you.

bless your soul stp lmao.


venus in aqua is like the most detached placement even astrologers said they are better at world love rather than one on one basically humanitarian type of love.


click to expand




Explains a lot. Ha.

The longest relationship I've ever been in was 4 years and it ended suddenly because I just didn't "feel" the same about him one morning... I suck. 😢

I am hardly ever devoted to anyone unless they are my really close friends or family.

People often take offense to me because they think I "don't care" about them when in reality I'm just not someone who showers people in attention or affection. I think to myself "I'm so happy to be living and to live is exactly what I'll do" so.. days may pass before I speak to you again... but guess what I DO still care about you, I DO still love you but I got so caught up in the beauty of the world and the beauty of my own surreality to realize days have gone by since I've last spoken to you.

The Venus in Aquarius breaks hearts unintentionally all the time... It does hurt us as well but we decide not to feel like a broken clock and we push forward and live, laugh and love again.

@Pisco--Giiiiirrrrllll...you hit the nail on the head for me! I do care and love...even deeply but and that 'but' is loaded...I can detach if something goes wrong in the relationship. I also can go for periods without talking to people I really care about b/c I am caught up in such lovely moments of life and fun! I am just very spontaneous and am always living life in the moment. I will still communicate with whoever I am seeing but it doesn't have to be everyday for me. I give little gifts and cards to them and send sweet emails (my love language is gift giving) and I compliment them...etc. I don't feel like I am neglectful but I do feel like I still may come off as detached sometimes despite it all. Uuuuggghhh!!
I can relate to so much that has been said in this thread.
I never think it's impossible to improve on something though especially when you are aware of it and want to make a change! I will try and keep the good aspects of it though! 😉

Thank you CappyLuv as I did get to read it before you hid it. I could relate to some of that even though we are opposite sex which I believe makes a difference.
It is definitely not a venus that I would've chosen, as the last thing I would want to appear to someone is aloof or detached. 😢

@Legendary--LOL! You made me want to throw in the towel with your comment or at least throw a big pity party for myself and all fellow Venus in Aquarius peeps. 😉

think about it bling.....

you have your place, they have theirs
you have your bills, they have theirs
you have your life, they have theirs

you have dinner on occasion a few nights a week. you spend the weekends together, you have fab conversation on the phone when you both are available, you text for fun periodically throughout the day, you have mindblowing sex because you want to, not because you are obligated, you offer advice when life gives you rough patches, they do the same. no pressure. they have your back, you have theirs.

..at the end of the day you go home to your own home and your own life. no pressure. no jealousy. no silly expectations. no messy traditional relationship baggage.

If you agree to be monogomous and exclusive to me and me to you.....all is golden. what is missing?

i don't know, i kind of like that concept.




I have had this. It was great. Till the other person forced me to be more serious. It all came crashing down it was like hell on earth for the rest of the time. Society wants you to fit into something that doesn't even make sense. Marriage doesn't make sense. Marriage style doesn't make sense. People just seem to "make it out" well I can't settle for that. Call me crazy but I don't do " Ho Hum"

Plus my comments sound right moreso than anything else.
And yes, I like cakey eaty too.😉
But to be honest, it's snob love/fart sniffing to a degree when put like it has on here, not a placement thing 😛
And fear, definitely fearful.



Of course I am fearful. That the world wants me to be in something that doesn't work. Fearful that I will have to settle for something in my heart I don't want just to make other people happy. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

I don't think the fear starts to poke it's ugly head out until you start listening to all the crap surrounding you telling you that you are doing it all wrong and somehow "missing out on something" or devaluing yourself.

Then the relationship takes a dive because one person thinks something is missing or wrong. when, in fact, it is not.

If both people are happy, who the hell cares?

At the end of the day when we take our last breath is it really going to matter what the label of my relationship(s) have been. That will probably be the least concern for my maker. I imagine we'll have other pressing matters to discuss.




Exactly! People care what something looks like WAY TOO much in this society as to what something is underneath. < Thats all that matters, ever.

It can work, but your priority is just yourself really. First place above all else.🙂
Each to their own but I wouldn't do it via others in that sense.
I'd probably try and sell them something though I'll admit that.

This sounds perfect to me! I told this to a friend of mine about 8 mos ago and she was skeptical as to whether I could really find this type of relationship with someone. I just feel like it is getting to have your cake and eat it too! The nice thing is that this applies to both of you and you both agree to the terms.
I can attest to being ULTRA faithful if that applies with the Aqua in Venus so I have no problems with monogamy. 🙂

Why does it have to be classified as a friends with benefits scenario? Why do we have to be defined as society has dictated for so many years. Do people have to get married to prove they have 'real' love for one another? Does it mean that two people don't care about each other if they don't live together? If you aren't up in each other's asses 24/7 that means you can't be serious about that person on emotional, mental and physical levels? I think not! I think you can truly find intense, monogamous and even spiritual love together without it having to be defined as marriage or living together or any way we judge it. If marriage is failing left and right then might we find other ways to actually stay in love with someone by working it differently than the 'expected' way. I think people should be more open minded about such relationships b/c maybe...just maybe...they could really work out. I don't think there is anything wrong with both living a life together with someone but also living your own lives! I don't think you are cheapening it just b/c you both do your own things and have your own personal space but then when you come together you have so much more to share and the time you carve out for one another will be treasured oh so much!
Just my thoughts and I must say Elle that I am on this same page with you on this subject! 😉

Totally though. Venus in aqua people just want something that will work. That is the bottom line.

Like why not just get laid and truly be universal with all that other stuff mentioned ?




Wow no one is saying that at all



LOL. I went to lunch. 😛

Bling...imagine a room full of seven year olds, about 25 of them. Hand each one a red bouncy ball and then hand only one of them a green bouncy ball. Don't explain why they get the green bouncy ball and see what happens.

no difference between the bouncy balls, just one is a different color.

Your optimism will shine in that scenerio, I'm sure.

I imagine a a group of mean girls making up stories why that person got the green one. they must not be good enough, they must have done something wrong.

The person with the green bouncy ball can be just as happy as the ones with the red ones.....until of course the mean girls crowd her in a corner and make sure she knows she's "less than" for getting the green one.

I want the green one. Screw all the red ones and double screw all the mean girls 😛

Kind of digging up bones here being late to the thread buuut...

The quote about the venus in leo virgo...well i have that same placement and the same difficulty with my aqua girl with aqua venus. We have the strongest emotional bond possible however with my moon being in scorpio and hers being in cancer. I also have pisces rising and she is a scorpio rising. She can seem a little detached fairly often, like she's off in her own little adventure of the mind. But she whole heartedly believes in marriage, definately has to be attributed to her cancer moon. But when i can pry her out of her detachment and she responds emotionally, her sincere and loving cancer traits are like a sweet, sweet drug to my scorpio moon. The aqua/cancer/scorp rising combo still views love in the idealistic and grand fashion that seems to satisfy my venus in leo's need for a larger than life spark in love as Claire was referring to. While there have definately been some blow ups in the past on my part due to frustrations with the detachment and "love of the world", they blow over quickly and we pick right back up.

It would be easy to view those constant texts from a virgo/leo as insecurities, but you have to remember that that placement makes one view love as a grand adventure, not just some thing to do on the side.
