Question About Aquarian Moon Attractions

Ok you people. I'm wading into 'enemy' territory in hopes that I can get some answers.

I keep attracting Aquarian moons, and Aquarian personalities. Problem being that they don't seem to be all that Aquarian until I find out and it's too late to back out. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not the sign, per say. It's that I can't get close to Aquarian moons. Their idea of space is 4 out of every five months, and they'll call years down the road as if they never disappeared. Emotionally aloof, they don't want to or feel the desire to connect to me, commit, or really even be involved with me in any way. Yet they all keep coming after me...well, coming, then fading, then coming around again later in some vast cyclical movement. It's driving me insane.

I am a very attachment oriented person. One-on-one relationships are my #1 priority in this lifetime. I don't feel the need to heal any great wound in humanity, just those in the ones I love. It just gets so damn exhausting 'loving' people who just never think of me, what I want, or in what way they can repay me the things I do for them.

Ok, yeah, I'm quirky. I come across as Ms. Independant, but it's hard not to BE independent when you fend for yourself. It doesn't mean I don't want or need a lover. I'm a bit like one of those leafy, viny plants: I need my water every day or I'll shrivel up and die. Yes I can be artsy fartsy, and yes, I can be humanitarian...I suppose I'm just trying to figure out how I keep attracting people with these traits that don't do anything in my life but damage, so that perhaps I can tone down these aspects of myself and focus on others that will hopefully bring around someone who suits me.

Chart's in my profile. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    Hi Lexie

    Guilty as charged. I have been in a long-distance relationship for...a looong time. I could imagine that would not do for you, with Pisces Moon, Scorpio rising and Taurus sun...and nothing whatsoever in Aquarius.

    The only things that stand out in your chart is that you do have a 1st house Uranus, so maybe there is more of a streak of independence in your make-up than you have been able to acknowledge so far. The second is that you do have a strong aspect between Venus and Saturn, so maybe therein oo is a possible answer - Saturn withholding from the Venusian desire for love. Aquarius could be argued to have two rulers - Saturn as well as Uranus.

    So maybe, the people you are coming across are living out either an independent or withholding streak that does show up a little in your chart that are in contradiction to the main side of you that desires excusive intimacy.

    Why not check out some inerpretations over the Net for 1st House Uranus and look to see how much that may describe you, in addition to what you already know about the main features of your chart?

      I've definitely considered the opposition contributing to this issue. I just thought it was really strange that it manifests as ONLY Aquarian. You know? You'd think there'd be some Gemini or something thrown in there (but then, i guess Gemini wouldn't bother me as much, since I can communicate with that sort).

      I have noticed that I'm not quite..as 'grounded' as my fellow earths, and I do have some 'freedom' urges, such as they are. Only mine show up as wanting a day or two off a week, rather than weeks or months at a time. ;) I like change. I see it as something that...well, brings something new, interesting and GOOD into my life. I realize I break a major Taurus tenant with that one, but alas. I still don't see how it manifests clearly enough to attract aquarians.

      Thanks for taking a look. :)

    Hey Lexie,
    You made me laugh when you said you were 'heading into enemy territory". ha ha!

    Well I am an Aqua moon and yes I relate to the need for space, this usually is something that will kick in for me when someone shows way too much interest in me to the point that I feel smothered.

    If I like the person as intensely as they like me, well I am less aloof BUT they still have to play it cool in my book as I get turned off by too early or intense emotional displays or even if it is not obvious but you can see the person is too interested by body language.

    I just dont like (and I dare say most Aqua moons are the same) over the top emotions too early on or too much information about how someone feels about me UNLESS i am ready to go there myself and I feel its justified based on having shared intimacy and time together that it doesnt come off as needy or clingy and potentially impinging on my need for emotional mental freedom. Phew!

    I think what I have just said typifies the Aqua moon, at least the ones I know. I would just say - be wary of giving off signals of being too clingly, starry eyed or overly taken by the Aqua moon person, they wont like it.

    Now heres the contradiction that may throw as spanner in the works, but this is to help you get the balance just right.

    Dont get me wrong ..........We DO like people to show interest in us, but we prefer it on a MENTAL, INTELLECTUAL level, not a mushy overly emotional level. We like to feel like there is an element of mystery and excitement to a person that we are already attracted to, so keeping a sense of mystery about you whilst engaging the Aqua Moons fascination with information /conversation that is detached but interesting.

    You are probably thinking, geez they dont ask for much....? I know, I know, we are very contradictory creatures. Hey i just realised you have A Taurus moon, my partner has a Taurus moon too ;)

    P.S I also agree with what someone else said above and I would add that if you keep encountering the same type of personality, it could be a shadow issue, ie, and unowned part of yourself that you havent gotten to know all that well yet, or that you need to explore in yourself. I know this is a bit abstract, but relationships often mirror things in our own psyche that are not owned.

        Haha, yeah. Meh. no worries. I embrace my Taurusness, and I have no doubt me and your partner still share many similar attributes.

        Ok, so my shadow side hates emotions. Sort of strange, since I'm...a great big balloon full of hot emotions. And it likes a degree of freedom- that I can understand. I'm just really unsure how to embrace that. Be single for years at a time? Check. Rejecting uber emotional men? Check. Liking people I can talk to? Check...

        Also, as far as whom I am attracting...I sort of don't care if they like it or not. I enjoy rolling around in my emotions, especially in the beginning (that being the most passionate time and all...i mellow out as the months wear on). And I don't like the aloof type of guy, they irritate the crap out of me (no offense). I'd like it if they all just went away and I attracted more earths or something. Me and earths, we're good.

          Yeah I hear what you are saying, but the fact is if you are having a problem by still attracting the aloof ones, you are still attracting them hense the problem not going away.

          and I totally understand you being irritated by the aloofness, I used to be attracted to a guy that had a very strong Aquarius in his chart and also other factors ( major emotional issues that were hidden) that made him super aloof. But because I was so attracted to him it made it so hard for me to walk away and just go meh!

          In the end I did walk away literally moved towns to get away from the game playing that he was so insistent on but in denial of. I do believe that these things go deeper than just attraction sometimes and if it is something that is repeating itself in your life and its frustrating you, maybe you just need to accept that you like the glamour of what seems unattainable? But you also like the down home earthyness of a guy? We are complex creatures us humans aren't we..

          "Ok, so my shadow side hates emotions. Sort of strange, since I'm...a great big balloon full of hot emotions."

          I used to feel the same way until I got a taste of the hard-core reality - I am an Aqua Moon. And I realized it when people that I had done nothing to, started being very pissed with me, offended by my behaviour. I just thought it was normal for everyone to enjoy his/her privacy, to act independently and to maintain their freedom despite any emotional feeling. But they were very hurt by my indifference and aloofness, maybe something like you're feeling now.
          I had problems understanding them for a while, because I thought I was a loving person, something like respectfully loving - if it exist such a thing - if I care about someone I want to keep their personality intact, not transform it or absorb it.
          Ever since I try to be a little more sensitive, 'cause I still can be me and not hurt anyone but still...I have no control on other people's expectations.
          If you feel these people do not give you what you need...become more proactive - ignore those you attract, just focus on those you are attracted to! Maybe there's somethig in your appearance that attracts Aqua moons, a mask maybe, but obviously they are not into the real you and you are not really into them.
          Just go get what you want!

            Excellent advice. :) One of the few that differentiates between those we attract and those we are attracted to. I do a lot more attracting than 'I want that one', so this sort of makes sense. In my defense, I have been focusing more on whether I like the guy rather than 'well...he likes me so I might as well date him'.

            Skin hunger makes you do stupid things. ;)

            I have a rather dominant Scorpio rising. I suspect the presence and space needs of that sign appeal to Aquarians.

              "I have a rather dominant Scorpio rising. I suspect the presence and space needs of that sign appeal to Aquarians."

              My boyfriend is Scorpio rising with Cap sun ...so maybe there is something to it, but it's most likely a confusion. It is my strong belief that while Aquarians value Privacy, Scorpios value Secrecy - two different things that usually get mixed up.
              Scorpios can maintain their secrets by putting on different masks, for Aquas to keep their privacy, they need to sometimes get away.

            I get that. In the end, it did seem to me that the misunderstandings that ensue were not always worth the grief or the aggro. I think there is a big cultural belief, that when a couple get together, they are 'supposed' to want to do everything in tamden, even go to the toilet together, it seems to me.

              Exactly. And this kind of conduct has been taken to extremes - if one does not obey, he/she ends up being called indifferent or cold.
              This kind of demonstrative love does not do it for me. No matter how in love two people are with each other, they must function first and foremost as individuals - it's the only way to a healthy relationship.
              There's a lot of manipulation involved in today's relationships and people with strong individualities do not fit the pattern.

                Really? Aqua moons don't like intense emotional advances? I kinda gathered that... but in my experiences... it's been the complete opposite! I am sorely confused now. The last guy I dated - Aqua moon, gem rising and taurus sun... venus gem... he basically was shoving a wedding band on my finger and had asked me to meet his parents. All this, on the second date. Jesus I was scared after that. Then he dumped me on the third date for god knows what reason. Yep. Still confused.

                Just like Lexie, I attract many, oh yes, many Aqua moons. No idea why. Maybe it could be my chart ( uranus square mars, asc and merc... 7H sun, and Merc, jupiter Aqua), but who knows. Another Aqua moon asked me out a week after meeting me. I said no because I didn't even know who he was. Now he works with me. Yes, it has been awkward ever since.

                I like Aquarius moons - I like emotional detachment once in a while... because as my stars would have it, it's almost impossible for me to do that. The hardest thing for me to do is to consistently grasp your thought processes. I am an intellectual, and love talking on that level (love it) so I feel that I am at some kind of loss.

                I am a scorpio moon, 8H conjunct Pluto 8H in Scorpio.

                    Wow. I keep finding Scorpio Moons. Uncanny.

                    <I just dont like (and I dare say most Aqua moons are the same) over the top emotions too early on or too much information about how someone feels about me UNLESS i am ready to go there myself and I feel its justified based on having shared intimacy and time together that it doesnt come off as needy or clingy and potentially impinging on my need for emotional mental freedom. Phew! >

                    There you go. You know, it all depends. Now, I find that many of my acquaintances are quite fine with only getting in touch once in a blue moon. I don't think we could take a steady diet of each other, so it is cool. But my Taurus mother? No way. Everyday. Gotta get a fix. It gets hard for me sometimes, but I seem to be able to give attention in what feels like large degrees when the people are most important, even to my detriment.

                      my (12th house) aquarius moon girlfriend keeps attracting scorpio moons, as well (myself and her boyfriend are both 6th house scorp moon people). i'm not sure how this keeps happening, but it's an interesting pattern... wouldn't seem logical, that's for sure.

                      she definitely checks in with me on a daily basis and likes spending a lot of time with me, but i can tell when she is feeling distant and she really likes her space and time to herself. i keep feeling more and more like i'm stifling her and it terrifies me. i know both of us throw a lot of emotional mess at her that she has to deal with, and i feel really guilty about it, but seem to keep doing it... she's very reserved about expressing her own frustrations with me, and i tend to react by getting paranoid that she's not telling me that she hates me and wants to be away from me and is sick of me. it's becoming a pretty bad pattern. i probably just need to calm down and stop worrying and give her her space, right?

                  That sounds like his taurus sun that had a lot to do with the early stuff.
                  Whenever I have dealed with taurus's they throw themselves on me like a wet
                  blanket.
                  As for the dumping sounds like the gemini part. (indecisiveness)
                  doesn't sound like any moon influence at all.
