A friend is trying to fix me up with a mega aquarian

His sun is pisces though, 1 degree. Also venus in pisces.

But mercury, mars, jupiter, saturn in aquarius.

North node in leo.

Any thoughts on aquarian-types? I haven't dealt with them much, at least not romantically.

Any key words, code words, knee jerk reactions to the little info I supplied up there?

sounds interesting, why not have drink with him and get an impression?

He does sound interesting, I'm a water girl with a lot of air too-- I think of this as a somewhat flighty/dreamy/intellectualize everything tri-fecta. :)

Be yourself, they love people being individuals, not being a carbon copy of everyone else!

But at the same time show some restraint, Lol.

I love Aquarians, but just keep in mind that (a) they wanna be weird, (b) they are MUCH more detached than almost everyone else out there, (c) "friends" is more important to them than relationships, and (d) generally expect to be the one that feels more for them than they do for you.

The Pisces might negate a good chunk of this, though. But you didn't mention the moon sign, which is crucial on the emotions front...

Looking at all the specs you list, not the Aqu specifically... I can say one thing with certitude: this will not be dull or boring! 

Keep us posted! 

Ok, knee-jerk reaction....love 'em, love 'em, love 'em but could never be IN love with one.  My best (male) pal is an Aquarian but far too emotionally detached for me.  I need intensity and it freaks him out.   But go out and meet him, you'll have a great time, and you just never know.  Even if you don't hit it off romantically you might well make a really good new friend, Aquarians are great at that.

Jenfullmoon really nailed it. Growing up, my best friend was an Aquarius. We were inseparable for many years (I'm a Libra, she had a Libra moon, found out many years later) and I think my own development was seriously stunted/delayed because of this dyamic we had.

She WAS detached. She thought she was very deep (sorry, air signs!) and she was wicked clever but it was a lot of flitting about and skimming the surface. Ahh, she was awwright though. She was always trying to get me to sign up for all these freaking clubs and whatnot - ha ha. My Scorpio and Virgo didn't dig that so much. It's kinda funny really, now that I know a little more about Aquarius. 

Aquarius is an original, that's for sure -- and they're always up for something new and different. A breath of fresh air blowing around.

If you are ok with detachment, then go for it. 

Pisces Venus should be good for affection so he'll probably be a lot less detached than most. Heck, he may even be a hopeless romantic! :) 

I personally would not date an Aquarian again. My last ex is an Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon and although he loved me, I did not feel loved at all. Our idea of love isjust different. I need a lot more affection from a partner and he could not give me this because that's not the way he operated. He is a good guy though.  

Lunalie, interesting you bring that up - about the idea of love. My "current ex" is Leo rising and the opposite of that is Aquarius on the descendant. So that type of elusive love you describe would probably be his cup of tea! Or so say the astrology articles... wtf do I know...

Dina2: I think with my ex, for as long as you are dating the person, that is enough to say that you love her. It's all about doing mundane stuff together, I guess. There wasn't a lot of communication. Affection was very tough to come by. I'm a very affectionate person and it seemed as if holding my hand was awkward to him. Even in his family life, everyone was detached. They only talk about the mundane happenings and that's it. Nobody really explores "feelings" there, which is not necessarily a bad thing but it's not for me. 

For me, when there is no affection or no communication, I feel a disconnect with my partner. Cancer moon feels secure with this, but if that isn't satisfied, well... Cancer Moon gets sad :( 

Virgo moon he has

I'm not too big on detatchment......

Well detatchment in that they won't be freaked out by ME is good

the earth influence should be good. my BF is a taurus with an aquarius moon. she's plenty affectionate with her hubby and kids. all about practical/intellectual. she's got fire too though... so i don't know, i guess the only way to find out about your new love interest is to date 'em!

lunalie: yeah, i hear you about families who only skim the surface. my family is wayyy psychological... not in a clinical way but in a crazy italian people way, with psychology thrown in. anyhow, my ex's family is all about talking about the weather. his brother had problems with depression that no one ever really discussed. he ended up dead. :( not saying that talking about it would have saved him but maybe it wouldn't have hurt.......

Mmmm Virgo moon -- sweet.

my dad is a virgo moon. he's very reliable.

Here's my offering re my mega-Aquarian parents

The Blue Streak

Well from an Aquarian (Sun, Venus) who's in a relationship with an Aquarian (Sun, Mars, Merc... and he has moon in Virgo, too!) this is what I think the deal is.

Detachment, yes.. but I guarantee you that is just on the surface...

If we like you, we'll wanna know your opinion of anything and everything under the sun, and we'll be all about sharing our thoughts and ideas with you.

Sometimes there's a lack of tact, but it isn't malicious... just naive.  We don't take things personally so it's hard to understand when others do.

You're a Cancer sun right?    LOL I was in 2 long term relationships with Cancers for a combined total of 8 years :p

I'm a virgo with lots of Scorpio too and I have a tonne of Aqua's in my life including my Mom and oldest girlfriend (Aqua, Virgo moon). It took me awhile to figure out why I love them so much because I have no Aqua in me at all (very little air). But my Venus is in Leo (opposite their sun) and I'm Sun conjunct Uranus so I think that's where the dynamic comes in to play. I adore quirky and like a certain detachment in friends cause I'm all about doing my own thing as well. All the ones I like seem to be born around mid Feb.

Yes, miss monica, i have a cancer sun/virgo moon...

Comparing his chart with my chart, we don't have too much "in common" .... although my north node and his sun are conjunct

And his uranus and my venus are conjunct.

And he's libra rising. 

thank you for all this feedback by the way

Aquarians:

They like to talk during sex, and not in the fun dirty way.  More like "so, what did you think of the movie?" You will keep on fucking and distractedly throw out a "Pretty good, I guess." 

He will sit straight up and say "seriously, you've got to be kidding me, I thought the directors last film was way better."  He will then grab you, reposition you, recommence rocking back and forth and ask "Did you see his last film?"

 He will want to have the kind of conversations you have with someone while you're shoveling shit... during sex.

LOL notatirem! 

But, hes not really an Aquarius, but a Pisces with a Virgo moon. My immediate thought is  he will be very sensitive about people perceiving him as having good taste in music.

I'm thinking now of my mom and a friend, both Aquarius suns with Aquarius a couple of other places in their charts. 

My friend doesn't have any fire in her chart and maybe only one water planet, and at her worst, she can be a bit snarky and not all that compassionate toward people who are struggling.  She is, however, very charming and entertaining about 80% of the time.  Her only other drawback is that she does tend to get her digs in on occasion.  (Okay, I thought of something else: she's not great at minding her boundaries, either.  For instance, she wants to pry into my financial affairs--admittedly an interesting topic--and she can't help commenting that I'm an incurable book hound.) 

My mom has an Aries moon, just as I do, so she doesn't have the compassion problem.  She's generally ready to pitch in and help people out.  My mom comes from a fairly interesting crew, historically.  It seems right that she's an Aquarius. 

My only other comment about these two Aquarians is that they're not much help in a tight situation.  You have to be the one to calm the waters.  Maybe that's not the Aquarius in their charts, but something else. 

re: 21. notatirem - ***pissing my pants laughing***

(because it reminds me of an Aquarian I once dated)

I dunno know notatirem, that sounds like me,  a virgo sun with no aquarius (but mercury conj sun in 3rd) I would totally laugh at myself the way I would talk about "stuff" during sex and ex would just smile and roll his eyes. yeah.

I had sex with an aquarian once. Oh, he was my crush for years.  And well, he was just quiet and not particularly touch/feely. It was Kool, with a capital K. mmm.

i attract aquarians like .... well you know  what the saying is...

my mom, brother, hair stylist, ex (rising), another hair stylist, co-workers up the wazzoo (yeah catalogers in a library

... How can one talk while in sex???

I guess Aries doesn't understand... We don't talk we just do! :P 

as an aquarius moon...

there are feelings.  they just make you uncomfortable and act illogically.  so you shut them off.

until the pressure gets too high and then it helps to know something to do to get them out.  preferably where no one can see you.

don't know how different aquarius sun is.  and i have aspects to my moon that might tilt things some.  like pluto.

"We don't take things personally so it's hard to understand when others do."
Absolutely!  I'm only an Aquarian moon, but I'm completely baffled when someone says that they were hurt when I was talking about something in a general, non-specific way.  And I don't know if this is true of Aquarians in general, but there is very, very little to me that is shocking.  Just about the only thing someone can tell me that will hurt, disappoint, or shock is confessing to an act of betrayal (Hey, I got Leo and lots of Pluto... loyalty means a hell of a lot to me).
If you want to keep Mr. MegaAquarian around, talk talk talk talk talk, especially about unusual or esoteric subjects, or something you know that he doesn't (as long as he's interested in learning).  Bring up a sociological problem and wrestle with the hows, whys, and wherefores.  Putty, maaaan.  Putty!

Mars square Mercury - I can talk or I can do.  Cannot do both at once.  :)

As to the Aquarian/Pisces, Love it!  It might be my favorite cusp.  And don't assume Aquarians can't feel deeply or have healthy attachments.  My super Aquarian is extremely attached to me, and I think it's largely because he has an open cage with me. 

I have to explain that.  Years ago I had pet rats.  I learned that if you keep them in an open cage they won't spend their lives trying to escape.  It just has to be at least three feet off the ground.  So I built cages for them that were like little fences raised on platforms.  They would climb all over them but they never left their homes.  They knew where the good stuff was (food, toys, friends) and they knew falling to the floor would probably be a lot of bother.  John doesn't love being compared to my pet rats, but that's only because he never met them.  They were darling.  :)

And as far as this particular Pisces/Aquarian, you won't really know til you get to know him.  It couldn't possibly be boring so you might as well find out.

I heart Aquarians.  Most of my close female friends had their Sun or Moon in the sign.  Guys?  Well, that was a bit different.  The reason why I attract so many Aquarians is Venus conjunct Uranus, a lot of Libra, and Jupiter in Libra on the DSC.  They respect and appreciate my need for space, which is similar to theirs. 

With the guys, though, it was only a matter of time before my natural Leo warmth felt stifled.  My two longest relationships before my husband were both with Aquarians with Earth moons (Virgo and Capricorn).  I enjoyed the great conversations, but the chilliness got to me after a while.

Interestingly, my husband has only one Aquarius planet (Mercury), but it opposes my Sun and Mars, so things are never dull around here...

My Ex was Aquarius Sun and Mercury - was very generous, laid-back, interesting and generally a good friend, but obsessed with Apple, was rather detached, and suddenly decided after a six month relationship that he just wanted to be friends and not sure about the relationship - turns out he did the same to his previous girlfriend.  I also read on another website a few people saying their Aquarian Sun boyfriends/girlfriends did the same to them where they decided all of a sudden that the relationship should just be a friendship, and then like mine did suddenly decided a year later or so that they wanted to get back together again, like a relationship can just be stopped and started no matter what (not something that my Taurus Moon and Venus can do), anyway there was other stuff that totally finished off the relationship but it's not relevant so no point saying.

Lunalie: my ex was Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon as well - and same thing, I always felt there was no proper affection from him at least not that I could personally relate to (but we also had Moons squaring and opposing each other's Saturns anyway so that added to the whole detached feeling in that relationship).

I'm with an Aquarian (sun, Venus and Mercury) with an Aries moon and we would totally not work if he didn't have that Cancer Mars. We get along fine and though sometimes I wish he were more affectionate, I also think that if he were, I might get antsy. This isn't to say that he isn't affectionate -- he is, and we love holding hands in public and I kiss him and hug him and he doesn't mind at all which is nice. He is not as forthcoming with his affection but it happens, and he does the dishes and sweeps the floor and gets the laundry together because his moon is in the 6th house. I'm pretty happy with the guy.

I've met a few who were lovely people.

As relatives or lovers, they've been lousy. Not a good match for me as anything other than a friend.

Probably thought you'd never see the day, but I don't have much to say.

Lupa- Rats are so cute! I love the way their little hands move and grab.

Air signs are a bit enigma for me! 

I have 12th empty house in Aquarius!  I have many friends and i love them! But its really difficult to understand their detachment !

"We don't take things personally so it's hard to understand when others do."

Me and my best friend.. we are the completely opposite! She would not compromise in relationships and not compassionate(in the same way as Pisces)!

 She will help the group of women(sexual abuse)  but she would say the most horrible  things to someone that she thought he was playing with her! She doesnt think that it would hurt them

I know her more that 8 years and i know that she has a great heart! But she doesnt show it to everyone!  Its more important for her to show her mind  

I'm surrounded by Aquarians ... my mother, my father's partner (a "second mum" to me), one of my best friends ... and, last but not least, my husband! I have no planets in Aquarius, so I obviously need their energy in my life!

I find them idealistic (in a good sense), full of vision, friendly and capable of universal affection (rather than just focusing on their kin). My dad's partner, for instance, doesn't distinguish between my children and her own grandchild ... they get the same amount of love and attention. My mum's always been more of a friend/equal partner than a mother figure. This had its pros and cons, but the opennes between us is something I've always appreciated.

Sometimes I feel some Aquarians will put the "universal good" (friends, community, even humankind") before the needs of those close to them, but I can't say all are like that.

 As far as romance is concerned .... I find a lot depends on the rest of the chart. My husband has Venus conjunct Moon in Pisces plus a Taurus ascendant, so he can be quite touchy-feely, and a great family man. I wouldn't judge just on the sun sign.

I've never seen an Aquarian who's bored, either. They seem to have so many interests!
