before i start, here's a link to where i posted my birth data:

ok so for most of my life i've thought i had aquarius rising, when in fact it seems it's capricorn (my mom probably made a math error, cos i know the time/place is correct for that listing). i only found this out a few months ago when i built a chart on astro.
so that changes a few outlooks, obviously.
my question mainly has to do with interpersonal relationships tho, and i have a feeling it may be due to all the mitigating planets i have, and that they may be in some way 'overwhelming' my sun sign.
i guess my question boiled down to the simplest is: despite being a leo (fire) sun sign, why do i find myself most drawn to friendships, stable careers and long term romantic relationships with primarily earth and water signs?
i'm currently engaged to a scorpio (could be freudian? my dad's a scorpio...) and most of the stable love and friendship relationships throughout my life have been with water or earth signs, including an 8 year LTR with a taurus that ended amenably and we're still close friends to this day (and i adore his wife, who's a cancerian).
my boss (whom i get along with better than any boss yet) is a scorpio. my best friend in the world is a taurus. my second best friend is a pisces. these last two i'd say are the sort of people i'd lie down in front of a moving train for, and they reciprocate this trust and loyalty.
on the other hand, i can't for the life of me seem to get along *at all* with fire signs, tho 'traditional' compatibility seems to indicate we'd get along fine. logically i know this is pretty foolish, but on a 'gut response' level, i'd have to say that leos, particularly leo men, tend to trigger an almost instantaneous reaction of dislike and/or avoidance for me. my gemini mother and i are estranged. i tried to date an aries to whom i was intellectually attracted but all we did was fight. my ex boss is an aquarian and i found i just could not trust him - he gave me a weird feeling from the start and i ultimately discovered that he could not be trusted.
I am not a very good interpretive astrologer, at all, so i really don't know on more than the most basic shallow level what all the chart positions really mean. it's something more that my mom was into.
my main reason for asking this question is to be more understanding of what has become almost a gut level instinct response of either affinity or distrust / dislike on my part. i usually *don't* know someone's sunsign right off the bat (i don't ask, as it tends to squick people out) but upon later discovery it's almost always a 'yeah, i was right' sort of thing.
thoughts? insights? tell me i'm smoking something?
