Sometimes it's so nice to go into my own floaty little box, pull away from the harsh outer world, and just daydream... don't wanna hug or cuddle, don't wanna chat... just wanna detach....

Re: detachment
Thu, January 17, 2008 - 7:28 AMi have no Aquarius in me. i used to have a stellium Aquarius friend who would tell me thinks like "im feeling really weird today" "how?" and then he'd struggle to explain it to me and mumble something about not feeling anything emotionally (Capricorn moon).. and some other things about feeling distant. i would laugh at him and say "oh of course you have emotions!" but this is before i knew he was an Aquarian hehe. (but he did certainly have emotions, no joke there)
im just wondering.. what does Aquarian detachment feel like? -

It's as natural as breathing!
For example, my honey and I moved into a new place recently. I had all these wonderful plans for a permaculture garden, started a compost pile, prepping the soil, even planted a few things, waiting for spring when I can really get started.
THEN today the landlady calls and says that because the Building Dept has found out we are living in an "illegal dwelling" (a converted garage), we will have to leave in a about 45 days.
And I just let it flow right off me. Sure, what a bummer... but I can love the Earth and love my plants, and then move along when the time requires. I know that there will be more gardens in my future. Why get all painfully attached to one or two particular plants?
It's very easy, this detachment. I have emotions, but mostly it is passion for vast, ethereal issues and ideas. Not so much love or passion for one particular form. -

Sat, January 19, 2008 - 12:55 AMOh man Jill, I was laughing my ass off when i read your post. I have a Capricorn moon as well and I struggle with emotions constantly. But I understand what Supernova means....
Sorry by the way, that's a bummer =(
But I do have a question.
Detachment for me goes like this...
I'll have a feeling. It's either of dissappointment or of intense happiness. It must be on an overwhelming scale and my logic (Cap moon) takes over and sends the emotion away for processing.
Detachment comes first. It's like not understanding poker but being at the table and seeing that you have a strange hand. You don't want to alarm anyone because you're not sure what you're dealing with, so when no ones looking you try to disect it and when you get what it is you waut again for a no one's looking moment to get back in the game.
Fuck...
I have no idea if that made sense,lol. -

Re: detachment
Mon, January 21, 2008 - 6:03 PMI don't know if I would describe my consciousness as detached. It feels more like being objective.................................................which may be a better way of saying detached!
or something.
What?
Over there.
Oh: I don't see it.
Ok.
Hey, can I have a hit off your pipe?
Sure.

Re: detachment
Mon, January 21, 2008 - 9:45 PMFor me (and I have a leo ascendant, so I'm all f'ed up) it's like that part in "Institutionalized" By suicidal tendencies where he "Just wants to be left alone and work it out for himself." Always identified with that song....
"All I wanted was a pepsi, and she would'nt give it to me!!" -

Re: detachment
Tue, January 22, 2008 - 10:40 PMhey Avishai, I've got a Leo ascendant too... and I'm not all f'ed up! Well, it depends who you ask. :)
I figure at least the Leo gives me some HEART. For f**k's sake, my Aquarius sun, venus and mercury can make me like, way out there, mental, overly rational, cold-hearted, unemotional and detached... at least the Leo jumps in with a bit of passion and lovingness. :) -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: detachment
Sun, February 17, 2008 - 12:41 AMI'm with ya... Aquarian Sun/Leo Moon/ Aquarius in Venus. I was totally screwed in the beginning part of my life, detached and self reliantly stubborn and lonely. Somehow my Leo Moon caught up and started to feel passionate and all relationshipy. I now have been in an awesome relationship(Libra Sun/Aries Moon/Venus in Scorpio) for almost two years. I never thought it would happen. People used to tell me I needed to build a robot because i was so picky. Even now though my boyfriend tells me some days I'm cold and detached. It's mostly when i'm in a thinking state of mind, pulling it all together. Some days I feel nothing sexually, and some days I'm like a wild beast lurking for my sexual prey. My emotions fluctuate from very intense to very still(dreamlike) , but not empty. It mostly happens when I feel stifled and unsure of things. Perhaps a way to tune out from reality for a moment in time. I change my mind a lot and always want more. When I do know something that's it...It's for sure. Some days i'm an unrealistic dreamer that sets me up for obvious disappointment. I never stop dreaming though for then I wouldn't be a true Aquarian.

Re: detachment comes first...
Sun, February 24, 2008 - 6:44 PMIn relationships, especially, I think.
Never thought of it as an Aquarius trait, but I think it makes sense. I have this ability of putting on my game face - the blank stare, "the no emotions showing here" look, while inside of me there's a storm raging.
Or is that just being passive aggressive?

Re: detachment
Thu, January 31, 2008 - 8:02 AMdetachment really sounds like a positive thing the way you guys explain it... the way supernova lets his worries roll off his shoulder and shayde i really liked your description of the poker hand... but ... my friend didnt always describe it as positive... i felt like his feelings toward it were neutral. i think he was aware that it didnt really happen that much to other people, i think it helped give his some distance from his feelings and grow mentally.
but heres what im getting at: i think at times that feeling of detachment made him feel disconnected from the situation he was in and the people he was around and thus made him act awkward and out of sync or out of the flow...can you guys relate to this?

Re: detachment
Sun, February 17, 2008 - 7:16 PMMy ex used to tell me that I was "doing nothing". She really never came to understand the thoughts that flow through my head while I was "doing nothing". She appreciated my inventiveness and intelligence, but could never see that that was it's source. Thoughts flow, free association, ideas form... it's beautiful. And anyone trying to contact me is just a distraction.
