air sign misconceptions (part one)
had to defend my fellow air signs cause we’re always getting shit
1. Aquarius is unromantic
I understand where this is coming from, I have had alot of aquarian relationships in my life and they do differ from alot of other signs. But I think in this case, people are mixing up romanticism and idealism. Romanticism is directly tied to emotions and relationships with other beings. Idealism is part of a much larger umbrella– believing that what exists in our world is as it should be. Aquarians can very well be romantic, though this is something that is not initially expressed.This is a sign that wants to know the other person in and out, and this is why their relationships often begin as friendships. The Aquarius has potential to be very romantic, especially when influenced by other elements on their chart. But being an intellectual sign, an aquarius is going to put their mind first, not their heart. An Aquarius refuses to blindly love, but when they are sure of their partner, and validated by their partner’s feelings, they can be just as romantic as any other sign. In comparison, an aquarius is not an idealist. Aquarians are practical, and see the world as it is, not how should be. If anything, this should assure you that when an aquarius tells you they love you, they mean it. Those emotions have taken time to be develop, evolve, and unfold. Love has meaning, and that’s precisely why it can’t be handed to just anyone.
I’ve had alot of people tell me I’m a “yes” person. And I can understand how a libra’s attempt to avoid conflict may across as weakness. I want to clarify that being peaceful doesn’t mean being weak. A libra avoids conflict because they don’t think the fight worth the outcome. Does that mean a libra can’t put up a fight? Absolutely not. Remember, Librans know people. They know what makes them tick and they know what they could say and do to stick the other person where it hurts. But nine times out of ten, they won’t go through with it. I absolutely have urges of rage but there is always something that tells me I am better of letting it slide. Sometimes holding back feelings of anger makes you stronger, rather than weak. It’s the way for a libra to feel balanced, rather than rash. Libras are talented persuaders and charmers. They do use their social skills to get their way, and though this can make them appear superficial, it’s the price librans pay to avoid a fight. Think of it as killing with kindness. If takes a strong person to stand up and start a fight. It takes a stronger person to settle it.
I can really understand an earth of water sign coming to this conclusion. I would argue every sign can be loyal, if paired with the right person. Gemini is a highly adaptable sign that needs an adaptable partner. When gemini cheat, it comes from a place of emptiness. They seek adventures elsewhere when their partner is incapable of changing at the pace they wish to travel. This doesn’t make their actions right, but it shows the length a gemini will go to feel whole, since they are often left with the fear of missing out on something greater. Gemini can actually be incredibly loyal, because when they are inspired by another, they will love that person to the end of the earth, recognizing everything it is about them that leaves them so intrigued. Gemini needs a layered person, a somewhat complicated person. Someone who will unravel who they are over time, and leave the curious gemini constantly wondering what chapter of their life they will get to know and love next. When a gemini is with someone truly as adaptable as them, they will never seek love elsewhere. They want to grow with someone, and evolve as a pair, a duo, a team. Gemini knows what they have, don’t be mistaken with that. Finding the right person will take trial and error, but once found, they’ll never be lost again.
