Born under the sign
of Aquarius, you are known as a unique, even different individual. You
are friendly and curious about everything. The futuristic person side
of your intellectual capacity is sometimes impossible for others to fathom.
If you are an Aquarian then life will be easier if you can accept that
people think you are avant-garde, weird, counter culture or any other
name for different. The very fact that you are not just like everyone
else causes others to value your friendship. Aquarius symbolizes individuality,
originality, and a desire for what is new, progressive, and unusual. Aquarians
have a strong need for freedom, to go beyond the limits and posed with
a question, to provide a unique solution. Examples of Aquarian inventions:
computer technology, lasers, and spaceships. When operating within bounds
you are willing, even eager for change. The flip side is a rebellious
nature and a disregard for other’s rights. Aquarians are on the cutting
edge of change and therefore are often misunderstood by their more conservative
friends.
Aquarians
are humanitarian in their interest at all levels of society and are willing
to accept others at face value. Seldom will you find an Aquarian with
prejudice since they consider everyone to be part of the human family.
You can become very upset if you observe others being treated unfairly.
After all, the strong need to discover one’s own path; to express
one’s own individuality is primary for you, the Aquarian. The gift
of Aquarius is to look at a problem and see it from a fresh viewpoint.
The solution that is so
obvious to you, may be viewed as impossible by those stuck in an old pattern
of doing things. It may be years before someone says, “You know,
she was right!” Or it may take a crisis to force others at least
to try your wild idea, which just happens to be the solution.
In relationships,
that detached, far-away look can convey the idea that the Aquarian is
not listening or is preoccupied with more important things. This conclusion
would be a mistake. You can keep more than one train of thought moving
at the same time, but it is also true that you can be emotionally detached.
Some people complain that their Aquarian spouse is in the room but not
really there. Occasionally you may disappear or need to go off alone to
recover from the constant overload of societies expectations on you. If
no time off is possible, you may withdraw by taking long naps. Loud noises
can upset you and conversely you may love the really intense noise at
a rock concert. It is your choice. That is the point! An Aquarian must
be free to make choices about lifestyle, companions, and life partners.
One thing for sure an encounter with an Aquarian will never be dull.
The planet Uranus
is the “ruler” of Aquarius. It is necessary to know what sign
it was in on your birthday to understand how it modifies your expression
of Aquarius. Uranus in Aries is very different than Uranus in Virgo or
Libra. A chart calculated for the date, exact time of day, and place of
birth will give a map of your unique personality.
