Is there anything wrong with my signs?

[Aquarius]

Generally speaking, I'm a friendly person but I don't understand why I'm so shy around guys I like. Does it show in the charts? Is there anything I can do to change that? Do I make guys feel uncomfortable around me?

You're quite spot on. I'm crazy with my close friends and they definitely don't think I'm shy. So I think I'm only shy in front of guys I like. But I don't understand that because I can initiate conversations with almost anyone. I just can't do that with guys I really want to get to know. I'm quite the responsible one among my friends. When everyone gets drunk, I tell myself I need to be sober for them. I think I can be sensitive yet some people say I'm quite apathetic.

I don't think I'm shy because of the pulling strings factor. Neither do I think I have low self esteem. So I don't understand why I'm shy in front of people I like. My eyes have been said as my nicest feature and when guys compliment me, it's about the eyes.

Guys do notice me but I feel starting relationships is difficult for me so I'm not sure if it's some intangible thing I exude that put them off.

Does any part of the chart say why I'm shy with guys I like? Do you find that a problem for you?

Whoops, sorry. I deleted my original post (hoping you hadn't read it yet lol), because I read "Scorpio Asc. Node" as "Scorpio Ascendant" - which is me. You probably aren't as dark and brooding as I can be. I rewrote my post, below. =)

Yes, exactly - the pulling strings factor, that's Scorpio, and that's not what you are. You're Libra rising (which unfortunately I don't have much experience with). Read below and see if that helps and sounds a little more accurate.

Venus is how you love someone. So yeah, I think I'm spot-on with your Venus in Cappy.

And yeah, you would be much more sociable than I am, sweet, charming, and capable of initiating conversation with anyone (unlike me).

Libra Ascendant... you might find yourself constantly "weighing" whether or not a relationship would work. You might be a little indecisive there. Someone else is going to have to chime in about Libra rising. It isn't something I'm very knowledgeable about. If you read the "Scorpio Ascendant" links I had earlier, disregard that - read the Libra Ascendant links instead, that I posted below.

[Akrabu]

I'm a fellow Aquarius with Venus in Capricorn. I have a feeling that's the cause of your troubles. Your Cancer moon might be causing some of it, too. My sister is an Aquarius with that placement. She can be overly sensitive and emotional at times, and very hesitant to open up to people.

Do you feel "shy" - which would be more your Cancer moon - or do you feel... uncontrollably reserved and serious? Is there a vast difference between when you are at a friend's house, hanging out, and when you are out in public - with or without someone you know? At your friend's house, are you more crazy and unpredictable (Aquarius), and then when you're out and about, are you more stiff, rigid, proper, overly-responsible, reserved, and serious? If so, that's more your Venus (and probably Mercury) in Capricorn. Honestly, with a Mercury in Capricorn, you might be more prone to doing that in general - but probably even moreso in public.

I doubt you make guys uncomfortable. You're probably projecting your own doubts and insecurities on them. You're Libra rising, which is generally a fairly charming and sweet ascendant. I'm sure people like you.

I think I'm just shy (quieter, feeling short of breath, can't relaxed) when I'm out with guys I like, especially if I don't know how they feel about me. I feel better around close friends than when I don't have them with me but on the other extreme, I'm fiercely independent and can travel or do a lot of things alone. I need company time and alone time.

I'm new to charts so I was wondering if there's anything one can do to improve things, such as make me less shy?

[Akrabu]

I definitely can't relax when I'm around someone I like. I can barely speak. My mind goes completely blank.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I feel better around close friends than when I don't have them around me, but at the same time I'm fiercely independent and am honestly kind of a loner. That's Aquarian madness for you, my dear... lol ;)

As far as overcoming your Venus in Capricorn... and possibly your Cancer moon... You just have to tap into that... more carefree, Aquarian attitude. Rely on your logic, and try to "override" it. If you're anything like me, once you understand how a trait within you works, if you put your mind to it, you can almost completely override it. You probably feel like that silly, zany Aquarian within you isn't "proper behavior" around the one you love (at least, before you're comfortable around him). You're going to have to convince yourself otherwise. Be yourself. I'm hardly one to talk though, as I can barely overcome it myself. But that's what we both have to do, I think.

[Aquarius]

Thanks. I think it's our Aquarian aloofness sometimes that makes relationships so hard.

I do feel the silly, zany me is inappropriate as I get older!

Do you think you make new people or people you like uncomfortable around you? I really don't know but hopefully they don't feel that around me.

[Akrabu]

Hmm, as you get older, you honestly ought to start feeling the opposite.

Capricorn "grows backward" - you might want to research Cappies some. It would be a strong part of you. Capricorns are more stiff and rigid when they are young, and loosen up as they grow older. =)

Well.. a lot of my friends tell me I need to loosen up when I'm out (and be my funny, zany self). But I have a whole other problem that you wouldn't have. Remember that Scorpio rising I rambled on about, thinking you were one too? Well, for some reason, a lot of people consider me intimidating. I don't mean to do it... but I come off as rather intense, and scare people off sometimes. I've only recently become aware of this.

Although you might be a bit more serious and reserved, I highly doubt you are making people uncomfortable. You're a charming Libra ascendant. People will most likely enjoy your company. You probably just can't make up your mind about how you come off to people because how you come off to people is Libra, and Libra tends to weigh things entirely too much. So maybe you do too? Hopefully an actual Libra ascendant will chime in later today, and give you a better perspective. I'm just guessing from what I've read, personally. ;)

[Aquarius]

Thanks for this. I'm starting to know a bit more about the charts.

You're right. I think too much. My friends say that about me, especially in relationships. Does he like me? Why did he do that?

I have quite a lot of friends (as you probably know as a fellow Aquarian) but few close ones. So like you said, people probably like me. But I just don't know why it seems relationships are difficult. Anyone can chime in there?

I hope you find ways to make yourself come across as less intimidating and other things you want changed. :)

[Akrabu]

Relationships are ruled by Venus... Libra is ruled by Venus... Your Venus is in Capricorn...

So, essentially, you're probably being overly-serious and rigid, because you're constantly weighing whether someone will like or not like what you do - when you should just let that zany Aquarian sun shine through, and let people like you for who you are. ;)

You know how to attract people. You know how to talk to people, and approach them. So stop being different when you like someone romantically (yes, I know this is easier said than done). Be yourself... and eventually let them see the more deeply emotional part of you (that Cancer moon). =)

[Aquarius]

Overly-serious and rigid. Does that apply to liking someone and focusing on them too much for my own good? LOL. I find myself doing that a lot. And I put them on the pedestal even before I get to know them in detail or before they like me back.

I get addicted to someone I like too fast. Which is why now I'm trying to stop the addiction. :P

[Akrabu]

Well, we are fixed thought. Once we start thinking about something, it can be hard to change our minds... lol

I do the same thing. Normally I'd blame my Scorpio rising. Perhaps a Cancer moon works similarly. They are both water, after all.
