Aquarius indeed likes to beat to their own beat, weirdly. It's not something they like to do, but it's a " natural" thing. Always standing out, good or bad, positive or negative. I was reading up on an actress/model Cara Delevigne childhood (she's leo sun with Aquarius moon) and wow she has a really " unique" ODD look. that strangely otherworldy look too, that's a thing with Aquarius, it could odd creepy yet ethereal like Tilda Swinton (i dont see aquarius in her chart but there's no rising sign/birth date) Miss Delevigne wrote her childhood was chaotic. i like to look at famous people's birth upbringing to get some comparisons too; although we are all different.
Also, i saw when reading up on Linda goodman's Aquarius woman it's always so strange because it feels like she was writing about a capricorn woman OR Pisces woman, Sagittarius, or or Aries, or ... but i do know that Venus signs and mercury can be in those planets. Like when Goodman writes about an Aquarius woman is a dreamer painter, likes to escape, i thought...hmmm sounds like Pisces LOL and then another written that she's like driven corporate world and good business sense..I thought hey that's capricorn LOL it's like they are describing all the chart already in Aquarius, because the Sun in Aquarius is not strong but Aquarius, the energy is really an odd one. I also like to observe whats going on now in the world after the Pluto capricorn and stellium capricorn descended into the world (the pandemic and dark restriction days) Everything feels chaotic too, you notice? But FREE. we dont have many restrictions and we can roam about and fly to different countries and not bother about staying home all the time. edit -- oh and money, aquarius is unusual with money, and taurus uranus right now is making it disappear or grow. It's part of the chaoticness. But maybe it's trying to release and FREE itself from the restrictions and at least the youth of today is happier to get outside and interact and have social interactions.
thats kind of an observation ive seen. I agree with everyone that her capricorn will save the day, they have alot of responsibility and her Aquarius will appreciate that ^^ And virgo too. her virgo will appreciate it as well.
She sounds like myself and my daughter!!
We dance to our own drumbeat. I knew she was a big person when she was in utero. Her spirit was so strong.
Cap aquarius daughter arrived in my 40's after the first 3 were raised, so I was an old, experienced homeschooling (unschooling) Mom.
She HATED homeschool. I did not have a bunch of kids anymore, she was like an only child. Found ideal school situations in childhood/teens. After one year in University she just dropped out last week. Thank goodness. She was not challenged, not learning anything, it was an expensive sh**show. Going through the hoops. Wants to work, party, and travel. Age appropriate. She is no dummy. She has old mom and old siblings.
She is a child of the world...the universe! She has to taste the smorgasboard of life. Every morsel. She was foreign exchange in high school. South America. Went to Spain/Portugal this summer. On her own. Spontaneous. No planning. Had an amazing trip. I told her "Hurry and have a blast before the war closes the borders."
I learned from homebirth and unschooling to trust the child. (The child navigates the birth process too). Trust the process.
Let her be the leader. This requires much containment from this Mother. I learn so much from this child.
But Im old, and experienced, (lazy/"efficient" Cap) And have alot of faith. I trusted her and it worked.
Focus on the love, your connection. Her individuality is her gift to the family. Support her adventures. Pluto is coming next decades. She is lucky to have you all as a resource and foundation, she will need you then.
In family systems theory: Each child upon arrival picks a role.
Firstborn often chooses "golden child". That role taken.
Secondborn has to choose a different role. And so on.
the funny one, the smart one, the independent one, the creative one, the invisible one, the gifted one, the fuckup, the little mother, the rebel. Each is a gift to the family.
even the fuckup. Because he allows us all to look even better.
@nona That really resonates with me - about feeling her spirit while still in the womb. I have felt it to some degree with them all, but with her, I knew she was going to be a strong force. I was wrong in that I thought she was a he (just because the pregnancy was so different from my first), but she definitely is something! She keeps me on my toes!
She reminds me of Sarah Baker in the movie Cheaper By The Dozen. If you haven't seen it, she pulls the mother of all pranks on her sister's boyfriend, and her father tells she has a "dark gift". 😂
Unfortunately, being so sly, she is frequently the first person I target when something is amiss. This means that sometimes it really was someone else, but she gets interrogated right off the bat. I think she likes the attention. 😆
@kim we though she was a Boy too ! Only had a boys name picked out. "Primo".. She hates that!! Good thing she was a girl. Took us 5 days to name her.
@nona LOL, mine was born at a birth center (before I could convince my husband to have a home birth... the next baby was at home) - a water birth, unintentionally. I got in the tub to relax, and next thing I knew I was pushing. Fetal ejection reflex - it was awesome. Anyway, she was born, and I held her against my belly as I was getting out of the tub, placenta still inside, and someone asked if it was a boy or a girl. I was so sure she was a boy that I glanced down, but didn't and couldn't really examine, because the umbilical cord was short and between her legs. I announced that it was a boy, and my older daughter, who was only two at the time, started singing Happy Birthday (husband and midwives joined in) and used the boy name we had picked out. We found out the truth a little while later when I was delivering the placenta. 😊 So, of course, they sang again, using the correct name.
I love a nice unintentional waterbirth story. Retired midwife. What a wonderful surprise.
Unexpected Surprise about her gender.
So many uranus themes with these Aquarius children!
@nona I love midwives. 😍 My midwife from my last baby is a badass. She is an expert at delivering breech babies, which was insurance for #5 after my 4th was breech. #5 was not breech but an asynclitic 10-pounder. I keep hinting to my chiropractor that she should make house calls to women in labor. 😀
That is very unusual. Are you in the US? Did you have a vaginal breech with #4? It is very taboo and unheard of these days in my world. Must be underground. No license or liability company will condone it.
I was fortunate to be trained to do twins and breeches by a British Trained Midwife in Texas. She Trained 1/2 dozen of us in the 1980's.
@nona Yes, I'm in the US. I don't know the current status of licensing for midwives in my state, but three years ago (#5) my CPM was practicing and was not underground at all. She specialized in breech and twins.
With #4, it was a planned home birth in a different state (one with more regulation), but he came too early for my midwife to attend at home. So I ended up at the hospital, and had a vaginal breech birth there. They weren't exactly happy about it, but I knew - his butt was down and engaged, so low risk of cord prolapse. So I refused to consent for a C-section so long as he was tolerating labor. They called in whichever available doctor was most experienced, and he handled it like it was no big deal.
Sweet. Thats good news to hear. Now I wonder if I know her
