Maya74:



They say that our physical appearance is more based on our Ascendant than our Sun sign.

When I was younger, I wanted to have Libra Ascendant. I thought it would be so nice to be double air and be cheerful and carefree all the time. I was so unhappy with my Scorpio Ascendant and its difficult energies. Then a friend astrologer told me: 'If you had Libra Ascendant - you would never have such sparkling eyes!'. So, now, whenever some difficult Scorpio energy surfaces, I comfort myself: 'sparkling eyes... sparkling eyes...'.



Yep that is true, the ascendant apparently is our outward expression and how we're perceived by others. Libra ascendant would give Venus as the ruler of the chart so it would be a nice one to have alright. I'm sure they all have their good and bad points. Scorpio ascendant gives an intensity that I imagine can be tough to deal with, but also gives so many opportunities for growth. Mine is in Gemini - making me a bit of an air-head!balloons

Bearwoman: I had an experience with a Taurus and me being a Libra it didn't turn out all that well.It was heck on wheels.


It's surprising it didn't work out better because Venus rules both Taurus and Libra. But Taurus being an earth sign has a tendency to go downwards, to live slow and methodically, whether Libra being air, wants to reach upwards. Two people pulling in opposite directions it seems!

I've also heard that Aquarians and Libras are a better match so maybe back in the day I should've chosen a Aquarian. grin

Let_Us: MOST Aquarians are too intelligent to get into the field of professional politics. In THAT sense, you're right. But IF they did, they could/would (generally speaking) be some of the best, in that they wouldn't JUST run their personal agendas!


Maybe rather get bored easily. laugh Although, a typical Aquarius who is intellectual, calm and not very emotional could deal with that world, I guess. He just needs to have a very strong motivation.

Let_Us: Let's just hope those "Sparkling Eyes" never become "Glowing Eyes"! Scorpios have the capacity/ability to be VERY vindictive and "Devilish"!


laugh

They do sometimes. wink And I noticed something interesting - I prefer men who can deal with it. I think that they are much stronger than those who want me to always be nice and calm and kind. Some men I met even preferred that side of me. They thought it was much more interesting. laugh However, it doesn't surface so often and even if it does - most of the time I can keep it under control. smile

True, it really does. smile I read somewhere that Aquarius-Scorpio combination is one of the best ones for people interested in understanding human nature, because it gives you two different perspectives and insights - intellectual (Aquarius) and emotional (Scorpio). That's how I comfort myself, at least. laugh

I'm sorry, Dee. But I HAVE to disagree with the thesis that A Taurus/Libra is a "good" match! Of course that ARE other "factors involved. But, based on sun signs, only, they're not particularly compatible. Taurus is an earth sign. Slow, steady, basic, down to earth, and with security/stability being their primary "drivers" Libra Is an air sign. In fact, the cardinal air sign. They are ALWAYS thinking. "Balancing" things, in their head. And the lightest feather can change their "balance", at times.

The one thing that DOES "bind" them together, is Libra's concern for "partnership", and Taurus innate desire for "stability". A Taurus does NOT deal well with situations in "flux". Whereas fluid situations will show Libras in their best light. Libra will love situational dynamics, whereas Taurus will hate it! Air and earth signs DO NOT "mix" well. If we remove ALL other influences, a Libra will be shortly bored by the plodding Taurus! And the Taurus, WILL NOT "appreciate" a Libra's "adventurousness". If we only base an analysis on the two sun signs, I would DEFINITELY advise against such a match. Their whole basic "precepts/philosophy" of life, are diametrically opposed. It would take some STRONG other influence, to make such a match "workable". professor teddybear

In order

I agree that an Aquarian WOULDN'T (ordinarily) choose politics as their career path. I can see that an Aquarian would have a natural aversion to "rolling around in the mud". NOT an Aquarian's cup of tea. But, under the "RIGHT" impetus, an Aquarian MIGHT choose politics as their "arena", because of that arena's ability to effect LARGE SCALE change! And IF they did, they would be a FORMIDABLE "force" to be reckoned with.

If your ascendant is "Scorpio", I'm SURE they do! And the fact that you "LIKE" men that CAN deal with "it/that" doesn't surprise ME, at all. If ANYTHING, I'd be SURPRISED if YOU didn't "understand" it! As you say, Aquarians ARE "intelligent" And are WELL ABLE to DISCERN "things". And are (generally speaking) "calm", emotionally. But that "calmness" DOESN'T mean that they DON'T "feel". And (again, generally speaking) those "feelings" are strong, and deeply held. Which, combined with a Scorpio ascendant, can EASILY "flair", if the Aquarian feels "wronged". But the Aquarian's "nature" is to "analysis" things. And they're very GOOD, at doing so. So an Aquarian will "assess" strength and ability more quickly and accurately, than most. And an Aquarian will "admire" such positive traits, in a person, when they detect them. And so, it is only NATURAL that you should find that people who can accept the world, as it is, and deal well with that world, are preferable to those that can't/don't! And a man that CAN deal with your "passion" would NATURALLY be "attractive" to you. And yes, there ARE men, i this world, who "enjoy" a woman's "passion". Find it "interesting/attractive". But a bit of "advice". IF you happen to find the RIGHT man, I think you'll find that letting that/your "passion " get a LITTLE bit "out of 'control'", can, occasionally, be a "GOOD" thing! Giving your "fire" a chance to "burn", can not only "free" you! But can give your man the chance to "subdue" you! Which I'm almost positive, you'll "enjoy". And make you appreciate/admire the man, even more! I KNOW that I haven't said that well or "clearly", but if you apply your intellect to it, I think you can "figure out" what I'm saying. The only thing I'll add, is "Enjoy yourself! Have fun! And,IF you find him, CHERISH "THAT" one!" hug teddybear

It's very hard for me too meet such a man and I'm not sure if this will ever happen again. smile My 'passionate nature' appeared so far only with those two Scorpio men I mentioned before and party with one Aries man. Maybe it has something to do with Mars? confused I'm not sure, but men who can wake up my 'passionate nature' need to possess some specific combination of intelligence, deeper understanding, strength and passion and - in order for that to last - be reliable and make me feel secure. Meeting someone like that is ... close to impossible. laugh

I would probably give up on that idea and find myself some nice Sagittarius man and have one of those comfortable relationships an Aquarius likes to have - relaxed, easy-going, playful, calm and peaceful - no pressure and no strong difficult emotions. smile

I've been contemplating this idea at the moment. laugh

I really know nothing about astrology, and certainly don't base relationships on it.

If somebody told me their star sign, I'd probably panic a bit as I wouldn't know what I would be supposed to read from it help laugh


I did have one partner though, who used to excuse everything he did by blaming it on being a Leo. I was having none of it!
In my mind, he chose to do whatever he did, no blaming external forces grin

Please listen to me, about this, Maya.

You respond to the Scorpio's passion. Because YOUR ascendant is Scorpio, you "empathize" with that. You "resonate" to/with their passion. But your "essence" is Aquarian. You're an air sign. And, as such, no matter how much you're attracted to that passion, you'll ALWAYS apprehend the basic "egocentrism " of a Scorpio. And, over the LONG run, it WILL "disturb" you. You MAY find a Scorpio that will "hear you out", but they are INCAPABLE of seeing beyond THEIR "desires". Push come to shove, they're gonna WANT their way! And no matter how much "sense" you marshal AGAINST their "action", they WON'T "submit" to "reason". With a Scorpio, you either submit to THEM, or it's NOT going to be a "happy" relationship. And, as an Aquarian, I just DON'T see you abandoning "reason"! Even for their "passion".

If you're bound and determined that you WANT that "heat", you'd be MUCH BETTER advised to seek out Aries. They are the Cardinal Fire sign. And, as such, they are most intensely "burning" fire sign. They're probably the MOST powerful of all signs. They're strong, and committed, and it shows in/as their "passion". And about the only sign that might get them turned from their path might be a Taurus. And that WOULDN'T be because the Taurus overcame him! It would be more that he outlasted him! An Aries has more sense than a Taurus, and he'll be the one to "go around". So an Aries should provide the fiery passion that you seek. And you'd do BEST, if you can find one with an air sign rising. Preferably either Libra or Aquarius. I say those two because IF he has a Libra rising, he'll be well disposed to listen to your "reasoning", and take it, if it's reasonable. So you'll be able to "circumscribe" the Aries tendency to be a "bull in a china shop" proclivities. And, if he has Aquarius rising, he'll be naturally empathetic with you, and you'll relate well, because he'll be well "founded/grounded", as you are.And, in EITHER case, you'll be his "rock", which Aries tends to need. That "security", to "come home to", for him. So you'll compliment each other well.. You'll BOTH bring things to the table, that will benefit the other. And you'll BOTH be aware of that! Which helps ANY relationship.

Okay. I'm done. Soapbox put away. Just something to think about. Luv ya! J hug teddybear

cally77: What does everyone think about astrology? Astrologers say that people in the same element get on best - so an Air sign like Gemini would get on best with other Air signs like Aquarius and Libra? I'm an Aries and once dated a Libra - Libra and Aries are opposites in astrology and we were definitely opposites - it didn't last. One of my best experiences was with a Sagittarius, and that is in the Fire element like my sign. My best friend is a Leo - also a Fire sign!


I'm Cancer. I have read Linda Goodman's astrology books when growing up. It is better to first get to know the person, without knowing their star sign, and then be surprised. U do tend to guess beforehand tho.

Scorpio cannot submit to reason when he is overwhelmed by emotions. But, he can also understand why others cannot do the same, although it might not seem like that at a first glance. laugh Scorpios often appear as judgemental, opinionated and criticizing and people sometimes cannot see under the surface that Scorpio understands very well the power of emotions and people doing silly things because of them. Every Water sign understands that - it's just much easier to talk about it with Pisces, for example, who often seem gentle and nice than with Scorpio who doesn't. laugh

I think that you overestimate the intellect and reason. smile All Air signs are driven by the intellect and that's the realm where we feel most comfortable, but this doesn't mean that most human actions are based on it. On the contrary, when emotions and reason clash, usually emotions are the ones that win. smile

Aquarius is always in search of the deeper understanding of the human nature and a good conversation with Scorpio (if two of them connect - not every two of them would, of course) can be very insightful. smile

If interested in exploring the combination Aquarius-Scorpio further, you can take a look at these articles (and the comments people left):

I've checked out your links. Interesting.

But, I DIDN'T say it was IMPOSSIBLE! It's just A LONG WAY from "easy". I still think you you'll find a relationship with an Aries just as rewarding, and OH SO MUCH "easier". But you Aquarians have never been one to shy away from a task! If I had an IMPOSSIBLE job, that NEEDED to be done (and done well) I'd almost certainly choose an Aquarian.

So, IF that's what you want, GO FOR IT! But, like the one site said, Slow and Easy is your best bet! hug teddybear

A lot of interesting theories indeed regarding astrology and as an Aquarian male I find being such is by far its the most aloof complex and frustrating sign to be. After dealing with Scorpio females one being my grandmother and another who many know in Murcia Spain and one Scorpio male my father I have learned one thing that will ruin an otherwise ideal match between a Scorpio female and a Aquarius male is do not try to change an Aquarian male to suit your needs or wants. As for the compatibility they can be intellectually stimulated in many areas but
emotionally incompatible.


Well..we'll..well....because you've had 3 Scorpios in your life ....that you know of...and found they were incompatible with you makes you an expert at generalizing all Scorpio-Aquarius compatibility ???

It would be interesting to know how many women and their birth signs you're actually compatible with??? dunno


As for myself being a Scorpio woman...as you just pointed out...I've had very good relationships with Aquarians...men and women! tongue

True, it really does. I read somewhere that Aquarius-Scorpio combination is one of the best ones for people interested in understanding human nature, because it gives you two different perspectives and insights - intellectual (Aquarius) and emotional (Scorpio). That's how I comfort myself, at least.



I agree with that statement. I've had some really good friends amongst Aquarians...except for one who is completely different but....being bipolar doesn't help I guess! sigh

I was never attracted to or surrounded with other Aquarians or Air signs in general, to be honest.

Well...I'm a water sign and for me the best are Pisces.
Cancereans are too quiet.

I find Taureans too challenging and too materialistic.

Not too keen on Leo.

Virgos are much too cold for me.

Sagittarius ...some have too much fire although I have some too as I'm a cusp Sagittarius Scorpio.

As for scorpio men...I haven't found one who's a suitable match. The passion is certainly missing.
