Moon in Aquarius here - and in 12th house.
So yes, I can understand your description very well. I don't understand it when people say "aloof, cold, distant" and such words. For me, nothing could be further from the truth. To me, of the three "mind" signs (Gem/Aqua/Libr), Aquarius is the one that can detach the easiest. Gemini thinks at the speed of light and sees both sides of the coin, whereas Libra will demand balance of it all.
To me, what does apply with Aquarius, is an uncanny ability to compartmentalize, removing the emotions from any situation and looking at it soberly, without judgement, partiality or favoritism.
I also realized a long time ago that I don't do well with emotional people. People who are reactive (rather than responsive) irk me to no ends. I have no trust in those who are ruled by their emotions because emotions change and when they do, so do they change their opinions. I find this quite flaky.
In my case Aquarius is in the 12th house, which used to bring some struggles. To me, moon in 12th house (Aquarius) means heavy wounds from the side of the mother. Once I put the pieces together, it gave room for compassion to emerge and the ability to compartementalize. Moon in Aquarius was truly one of the greatest healing utensils.
Great thread!
