...also, in an undefined future, my aries bff will write an extensive book on capricorns and sister-fish on scorpios.
so, aquarians. they're interesting. if you ask me, 70% of the male population is born in late january, early february, but then again, maybe it's just me stumbling upon aqua after aqua after.... and getting to conclusions.
number one is that their flirting skills are almost inexistent. not that they're not social... they're very social. they will talk to you but not in the "i want to attract you and make you giggle and feel all fuzzy inside" way. it's either very casual chatting which does not make you feel at all special. this is option number one. number two it's an in-your-face-i-am-smitten approach. or they will switch without notice between these two attitudes. there's no middle ground. you may, over time (long, extended periods of time, we're talking years here) make the situation slightly better.
aquarians tell the truth. they believe in truth. truth is their religion. the truth being whatever happens to pass through their head at that specific moment. the enlightened ones will ask you if you want to hear it. if in any doubt, say no.which will bring us to the next point:
they lack empathy. no, they are not mean (actually, that part in the astrology books about aquas being humanitarians is true), nor petty, nor callous.the other person's feelings are...ummm... a little difficult to understand/accept. example> aquarian is in love with you. he will be all over you, wow you, exasperate you if necessary. then he needs space/has some stuff to do (the "stuff to do" version is particularly annoying, because you start wondering if he suffers from a particular form of attention disorder which prevents him from doing more than one thing at the time. like breathing, eating or whatever else that's not directly related to his goal). then he's back. then he'll be genuinely surprised why are you mad/want to throw bricks at him/not happy as a puppy. thing is their feelings are a little one-sided. you need the patience of a saint to explain repeatedly that your feelings are just as important as theirs and that their behavior affects you. eventually, you will get to a set of rules, where there can be order in chaos ...
best thing about aquas: most of them are non-judgmental. you may have your quirks, outbursts of temper and even moments of sheer madness. "we're all a little mad" they will say and get over it. they like different, even controversial and they cannot be bothered with rigid morality... "live and let live"
the other best feature: most of them are smart - some even border on genius. and with smarts come a sense of humor too!
the hidden gem is however their romantic streak. it's not really apparent at first sight but if you have the luck/stamina/good planetary alignment... expect to be surprised in the best sense of the word.

...and it's also an eclipse. and it already feels like living a personal version of wuthering heights, complete with brooding and mood swings from hell. which, for me, it's the rough equivalent of being constantly hit over the head with a brick... it's annoying, it hurts, leaves you dazed and confused and i have no idea what's going on and when i try to make some sense of it all or at least get to the point of "fuck it, i'm unleashing hell", oh well, please, let me get to that point.or some other point. i need a point.
yeah, that's the famous libra indecision for you. you have logic, feelings, the other person(s) (not) feelings, and explanations for their actions, feelings and words, what happened, what happens and what may or may not happen if you stay on this course of action, the rules of the game and a hell lot of intensity to take into account. getting from a to b has never been more complicated, especially if you think you could also get to c,d, or some other point situated into uncharted territory.
let's just hope this emogoth moon will bring some enlightenment.

...this was one of those a-ha moments i had during this uber-intense astro times. does not hurt that my north node is in leo so i am bound to learn a thing or two from these people. ok, not all leos are that inspirational, but some of those i know really are, starting, of course with my own personal leo all-father. and by the way, i am writing this because leos know how to receive a compliment, unlike other signs
and one of the first things you learn it's that it's good to be part of a pride of lions. it's no wonder they call it a pride. it's not a flock, pack, herd or whatever. it's a PRIDE. leos understand the value of having people around and i have yet to meet one who is a loner or who despises people. this is why they are popular.
"be happy" - this advice was given by a leo. i think leos truly believe in the pursuit of happiness. and inspire others to do the same with their general sunny disposition.
express yourself, it's human nature and true blue - look madonna is a leo. that girl knows what she's talking about.
have fun - leos are into the feel-good-things-in-life. and they like to talk, they make great entertainers and they're not not shy about showing their emotions.
