I must admit I have had the pleasure of knowing many more Aquarian women than men. I worked closely with one for 7 1/2 years. Personally, I like them.
They are less 'emotional' than a lot of other signs. As a matter of fact, there is very little drama with Aquarians. To me that is a good thing. Could be that I have a little Leo in my chart(moon and unaspected Mars) so I don't need any more drama. Or maybe I need the balance. I have always found that my Aquarian friends are very thoughtful, even tempered and quite intuitive when helping with a problem. Without the emotion, it is much easier to process things.
Now that said, lack of emotion isn't always something you'd ask for in a relationship so that may explain why my one friend has been married numerous times. Another male Aquarian friend has had very few relationships, at 49 he has only been married once and had 2 serious relationships. He has a concept of what he wants that doesn't have room for the reality of the situation, until he's pushed his luck and lost the woman that he realizes wasn't really that bad after all!
Regardless, they are very independent and don't need constant companionship like other signs. They genuinely like people and have faith in humanity. They will work tirelessly to help create a better world. The ones I have met have had high moral standards.
One irritating thing that I found with my business "partner", she was so busy with all her projects that she would often leave all the work to me. She was EXTREMELY good at delegating. Every organization had one of her angels at the helm and each of these angels were so because they made things happen. She sparked the idea, and great ideas she has!! We did all the nitty, gritty. The good thing, she was the social one. She knew I wouldn't compromise my values to help a customer, supported my integrity and handled most of those folks herself. She didn't really like them but she was able to tolerate everyone. A true Aquarian!

Capricorn
This is another sign that runs through my family. My maternal grandma, adult nephew and husband are the three that come to mind. All are very serious, all very work oriented, I can't speak for my nephew because I haven't been to his home, but both my grandma and husband leave a little to be desired when it comes to housekeeping. My theory on this is that it is(was) just not on their list of priorities.
My grandmother was very good with money, very frugal and was able to save up to buy her new cars with cash. She lived in a trailer with my aunt. She had a vegetable garden on her lot and worked for many years at a gas station during the day and as a newspaper delivery person before anyone else was awake. She didn't seem to have much of a sense of humor but I suppose if you were left by your husband to raise 8 children in a trailer you may not either.
My husband Is a much different story. He is very work oriented but absolutely HORRIBLE with finances. He hasn't seemed to mature to a point where he takes his responsibilities to heart. He wants to be responsible and he tries to do what is needed of him but the reality is he probably didn't have a model of the ideal father and patriarch. He had a father but he was a Libra Sun (square his son's) so they have very different ideas about family responsibility. I would think that His Libra parents also modeled a more indulgent lifestyle to their Cap sun Taurrus rising son. They often bought what they desired and set in motion that yearning for more where my grandmother had to survive the depression and had a much more pragmatic approach to life. I hope that he will be able to move into the energy of his sun sign because I truly believe this is where he will feel most accomplished however with that fixed sign indulgent ascendant it may be hard for him to change.
My nephew was born to my then 19 year old sister. his parents never married and he bounced around a lot. Much of his childhood was spent with my parents and I think that is why he is as well adjusted as he is today. He is a very serious boy and has a dry wit. He is very good with his little sister's and brother and has shown a responsibility beyond his years.
All of the Capricorns I have met have carried themselves with great dignity and have high moral standards. They tend to have difficult childhoods or great challenges that they have to overcome and generally the second half of their lives are happier and easier than the first. Late bloomers is what my mom used to call them. Regardless, they are good eggs.

Sagittarius
I must admit, I have very few Sag friends. I know a lot of folks with Sag moons and Sag influences but Sagittarius Suns...not so much!
My sister, however, and an Aunt who is now deceased were Sagittarius. Perhaps it's my personal overabundance of Virgo planets or perhaps it is just the normal dynamics of sisters 2 years apart but I'm not fond of Sagittarius Sun. When I was little I looked up to my big sister, she was way more adventurous than me! She was outgoing and had lots of friends. Always on the go as I remember. Me, I liked to stay closer to home and participated in calmer, more controlled pursuits.
My sister tormented me, not to say that I wasn't able to dish some of that back. Being the good Virgo child that I was, I was often able to instigate fights with my sister and she would get the brunt of the punishment, you see she was always getting into trouble. Like I said she was adventurous and never listened to reason, she just went with the flow. She ended up in some predicaments I would NEVER have even dreamt about!
So from my sister's example, she liked horses and took horseback riding lessons, was the party girl always buying drinks for her friends(and everyone was her friend)funny, smart, very outspoken, she'd tell people what she thought whether they wanted her opinion or not, truthful but not tactful. [She's currently going to school for law the one thing I would think would be beneficial is tact, Sag doesn't seem to worry about such formalities!] When I was younger she would beat me up but then she would also beat up anyone who messed with me so I guess you need to take the good with the bad!
We don't speak anymore, as an adult I realize sometimes the best thing to do is to remove yourself from people who don't want to let relationships evolve into something more healthy.
But I like Scorpios so what do I know! :o)

Scorpio
Like Virgo, I think Scorpio's get a bad rap. The range of Scorpio personalities is vast. Most that I've had the pleasure of meeting have been very intense, smart and reserved. They have a sharp side to their personalities but most reserve the stinging comment for those who have earned it. They have a sarcastic wit. Their energy is very focused. Many seem more exacting and detail oriented than some Virgos. They lean toward pessimism as they have usually seen a lot of difficult things in their lives. They are very deep and feeling though few people are allowed close enough to see it. Many people are so thin skinned that the first Scorpio sting and they are out. Those who can handle the intense sometimes abrasive energy find they have a very loyal and caring friend.
As far as sex and the Scorpio(everyone asks), they are much more than that, if in fact you find it to be their primary attribute, I think you have found one who has channeled all of their energy into that direction. More than likely sex has become the one area where they can express all that they are. Many Scorpio's have evolved beyond that and can focus energy more evenly across many different areas of their lives. They are very intense in many areas of life and live it to the fullest in their way. The weak of heart may not be able to handle them but again, in my opinion,
if you can handle their energy, they are a worthy ally.

Libra
All of my In laws are Libra's.(mother father and brother in law[sister's husband])
Now I have Libra rising and there is a distinct difference between Libra suns and Libra Risings. The most notable is that risings seem to be more fair when they are involved. When Libra suns are in the middle of something they expect 'the scales to tip in their favor', that's how my mom always put it. Libra risings depending on the rest of their charts can be a bit more objective.
Libra suns also seem more indecisive. Don't get me wrong, this Libra rising has had her fair share of letting others decide what to do, but the Libra suns can't seem to decide anything they spin wheels for a very long time or go back and forth, back and forth.
Now I would imagine being married to a Libra sun would be pretty frustrating but could you imagine being the son of 2 Libra suns? My Capricorn husband is and let me tell you, he was in the middle the entire time!
Another thing I've noticed about Libra suns, from personal experience numerous times, if they ask you what you'd like as a gift don't do the Virgo thing of researching your item and truly picking out what you'd like because they will just give what they have bought in the past. A few years ago, my in-laws asked me what kind of washer/dryer we would like as a wedding gift. I researched it for a few days choosing a mid line front loading set that was rated very high, used less water for more clothes and was ecologically friendly. I sent them the pictures, model numbers, even found the best prices. They bought us the exact same top loading model they already owned. Now had I not been asked I wouldn't have been so miffed! There is nothing worse than putting time and effort into a pursuit that bears no fruit! The washer and dryer were fine, they'll probably need replaced before the other's would have and we are probably using way more water and energy but they are nonetheless a washer and dryer and serve their purpose....Just don't waste my time and effort! Based on other incidents my guess is the MIL wants to have as good as or better than her DIL. But that's just a guess and I have no intention on spinning my wheels trying to figure out a Libra sun!!!
Vacillate, that would be the best word to describe them from my experience! Oh, but generally they can be charming!( although the men seem more so to me that the women, but that could be because I'm a woman!)LOL

Virgo
Ahh, Virgo! My birth sign, I also have 5 other planet placements here(Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Pluto and Uranus) My father was also a Virgo as were two of my most favorite boyfriends! I generally love Virgo men. They are self deprecating and modest, detail oriented and have common sense. Downside, they can be worriers but won't necessarily talk about what is bothering them. My dad was a great father, I remember lounging on and around him when we were young and he just took all the climbing and wiggling.( I actually think he liked that we loved him and wanted to cuddle with him!)
Virgo women sometimes seem awfully harsh to me, I have most of my Virgo planets in the 12th house so I think it may have softened my Virgo energy! Virgo mothers can expect alot from their children and hold them to higher standards than other people's children. They are detail oriented and smart. Demanding and critical but to put it in perspective they are probably even more demanding and critical of themselves.
Virgo's are often misunderstood, even if they are pointing out flaws, they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, they can see your vast potential and want to help you achieve all that you can be. It doesn't always feel that way, and it takes a while to learn how to share critical information in a tactful way, but is is from a loving place that they offer up their insight!
Oh, and while some Virgo's may be neat freaks not all are. There probably is some aspect of their lives that has to be ordered just so and they aren't so big on germs and such. I need to go wash my hands now just thinking about it!!
