I honestly have no idea of her placements but can't really guess why she'd address me personally rather than the OP if she wasn't Aquarian somehow
You interest her. I should have added she has Sun in Aquarius.

Oh yeah I remember another thread discussing Aquarians and the classic disappearing act before. Sounds like pop astrology, but I do think it has water to it
What do you mean interest her? She just thinks I'm aggressive and love dominating people
Tbh I don't think I'd make a very good instructor of any sort because I've very little patience. But I love martial arts and have been looking for one I can afford in my area that I also feel a kinship too. I've loved martial arts since I was a childLykanized, have you studied martial arts? I think you'd make an excellent self-defense instructor.
I hope the forum Nazi doesn't mind us deviating a little into this. If so, I'll bring it to DMsJust thought of a joke: Pediatricians are known for having little patients.
I studied Aikido, and loved it. What I learned has stayed with me. Don't know what I'd do without it.

Many things draw me to martial arts...I have a love of anything ancient, I love the aesthetics, and I won't lie, I love the raw, bestial feeling of fighting and maybe I need something like that, but I also love the philosophy of them. The power aspect draws me to them too, power that can take others by surprise and perhaps may confound them. The first martial art that drew me in was ninjutsu. The espionage and psychological warfare aspects definitely fascinated me. But since i'm very artsy, I love aesthetics too. Capoeira isn't technically a martial art, but it was originally used to covertly train in fighting for slaves. It's very musical, very beautiful, very much about connection between people and I love that for very different reasons than the reasons I love more philosophical Eastern arts, or very brutal more Americanized arts
What did you learn with Aikido besides that physical aspects of course? I know with Eastern arts there's very heavy and significant philosophy
And also lol at your dad joke
Was there any philosophy involved too?I learned my center of gravity. Really learned it. Also, how to move without fighting gravity.

Granted, as a writer, gravity is a potent symbol
Nah, doesn't sound trite. Aikido may be something for me to look into... Given that I'm not very patient, I'm very unforgiving with myself, and I have trouble just going with the energy of life, maybe it really is something for me to seriously considerThey told us not to seek out the philosophy. It would find us when we were ready for it. Also, it's not how far along you are that matters, it's the journey itself. And, it's all about the flow of energy, "Ki". The Chinese call it "Chi". Sounds trite until you experience it yourself.
Obviously a sun-sign is important, but really, if you want to know how compatible you are with someone, you have to do the synastry, which is a lot more complex.
My sun, Mercury, and Venus are in Aquarius, with my sun trine my Uranus-MC conjunction. One thing I've heard from most Aquarians is that we do need our space. This might get modified somewhat with a Cancer moon and/or a bunch of watery planets; but by-and-large we don't do well with emotional suffocation or drama queen (or king) people. Aquarius is an air sign, so our approach to life is more mental.
I don't post my precise birth data out of privacy concerns. Even if you post an anonymized chart, it's fairly simple to locate your birth date and time. A really clever astrologer can also get your birth location off your MC. I occasionally post what I call my "close enough" chart.
The other thing I notice about Aquarians is that they're a lot more sensitive than they let on. On the surface, they seem aloof, but internally, they're squishy as hell. Since Cancers are very perceptive and intuitive, it strains a relationship when we can see such truths and will act accordingly to them, but the Aquarian is in denial
Cancers are very much the opposite where we seem more sensitive than we actually are. Since we deal with the emotional tides of the moon and ocean daily, we're very strong emotional creatures
Aquarians cannot relate to anyone with an Aries/Virgo and Leo/Pisces (either sun or moon) combination. Aries/Virgo people are best in communication and public service careers, while Leo/Pisces people are great in acting and sports. This isn't bad if I end up with a girlfriend or wife who's a nurse, police officer or school teacher; or an actress, singer and writer, except personalities may clash. The best match for me is a Libra/Pisces (air sign with winter group sign), and the worst match to avoid is Aries/Scorpio (both ruled by hot and angry Mars).
With my sun and mercury in the 11th, I can relate too to the Aquarian love of ideals and humanity. Sometimes it feels odd because I'll bounce between intellectualization and the need to surrender myself and let myself feel my emotions to their fullestI can definitely vouch for this. I'm Libra. My best friend and former partner was a true-blue Cancer. He was very emotional and sensitive and he would never hide this. He wouldn't shy away from expressing his most tender feelings with me of what he'd seen throughout the day, like a mother nursing her child, always his thoughts and feelings were sweet like honey. His emotional world was so fertile but it's also because I welcomed it and he felt safe and he trusted enough to be himself.
Aquarius can be emotional, but I think it's a different kind of sensitivity. Cancer is the kind of emotion a mother shows to a child, it's empathetic and nurturing. I think Aquarius has a love for ideals and humanity. The whole emotional aspect of life is almost martian to an air sign, especially Aquarius. They're aware they have strong feelings, but we as air signs intellectualize our emotions more than really feel them...which can be messy! I think this is where you run into problems with air signs. We can be wishy washy.
