Phase
January 21 - February 20
Sign: Aquarius
Name: Waterman
Ruler: Uranus
Symbol - Water bearer
The symbol for Aquarius describes
air waves or radio waves, and particularly relates to the traveling
of information through the air.
The symbol associated with Aquarius is the water bearer. It represents
the Gods nourishing the earth with life giving energies. This symbol
is linked to the Greek God Zeus in mythology.
Comparison with its symbol
The symbol for Aquarius is the Water
Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food
to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving
room for a fresh, new start. The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking
and growth-oriented. Concerned with equality and individual freedom,
Aquarius seeks to dispense its knowledge, and its vision of equality
and individuality, to all.
The glyph for Aquarius depicts the
water from the water bearer's vessel, as a symbol of open-ended spiritual
energy.
Color
Aquarians are the ones who are often
ahead of time and love to try something new, whether it's a fad in
clothing, home furnishings or other. When it comes to color, they
will likely be quite subdued, for the colors best suited to Aquarians
are INDIGO, a dark, GRAYISH BLUE, and BLACK - the color of Saturn
- which is fortunate for those born under this sign. Monochromatic
color schemes appeal to the Aquarian, rather than contrasting colors.
Aquarius
Aquarius is symbolized by the Water
Bearer. They are independent, inventive, tolerant, humanitarian, logical,
intellectual, progressive, and scientific. They can also be unpredictable,
temperamental, cold, eccentric, argumentative, stubborn, impersonal,
and rebellious they possess a quick intellect and an expansive mind
keen on innovation and progressive thought. They're a rebel, but one
who really needs people around. They have tons of friends, but they
tend not to get too intimate with any one person
Aquarius is a fixed air sign and
is ruled by the Planets Saturn and Uranus. The combination of these
planetary energies is strong and vibrant. Saturn's force field is
that of the stern taskmaster, which is one reason why Aquarians love
to think and put their ideas out to the world. They also love to think
they're right! It's Uranus, which instills Aquarians with their visionary
spirit. If it's new, radical and rebellious, Aquarians are all over
it.
Love, romance and excitement in their
life can be expected. Their social life picks up momentum again after
they come out of their proverbial shell. Lucky number is 8. Good color
is rainbow pastels.
People under Aquarius Sign can accept
criticism and understand others perceptions about things. If they
have a problem, they are always willing to listen, though after awhile,
enough is enough. Tolerance is a big part for Aquarians temperament.
They are slow to take offense, never jealous and never over emotional.
In any relationship, an Aquarian
may find it hard to give of them but will always remain loyal and
devoted to a worthy partner. When the Aquarius makes a promise, it's
usually never broken. However, if they become demanding, and critical,
they may start to wonder elsewhere.
The Element associated with Aquarius
is Air, and that means the rarefied air of the intellectual. Aquarians
will accomplish much with their broad and logical minds, entertaining
complex and scientific ideas for the betterment of all. That said,
they are also artistic and inventive. It's all in the spirit of creating
a better world, hopefully one in keeping with their broad-minded beliefs
Aquarians are warm and humanitarian,
and that’s why they have lot of people around them. They believe
in themselves, and follow an idealistic approach to their personal
and professional life. They are very active in the social causes,
helping, sharing and caring for others.
Aquarians can best fit into the professions
like writers, scientists, politicians, astronauts, artists and astrologers
On the downside: Resisting Change,
Rebellious, Erratic, Perverse, Eccentric.
Their good qualities include: Loath Restriction, Resourceful, Intuitive,
Inventive, Humanitarian,
Key Planet - Uranus
Uranus is the weirdest planet in
the solar system. Its north pole faces the Sun and its Moons spin
around it backwards. As such, Uranus symbolizes the eccentric and
unique things in our lives. It is associated with brilliance -- even
if short-lived. And, like lightning, Uranus can release the hidden
tensions suddenly and with great immediacy. In fact, Uranus is often
the astrological culprit when our lives are turned upside-down. As
the key planet of Aquarius, it encourages us to rebel against social
injustices and to seek freedom of expression in our lives.
Element - Air
The astrological element of air represents
movement. And the most efficient movement between two points is often
a thought. Air signs are thinkers. They emphasize the intellect over
other functions. With active minds and a good command of language,
the air signs are the natural born communicators. They can be light
and breezy as the breath of spring, but their words can also carry
the power of a gale force wind.
The air of Aquarius can be like the
winds after a lightning strike. Large amounts of air are moved around
suddenly in such a storm, and that which survives this intensity gets
to enjoy the calm after the storm.
Eleventh House - Future
The Eleventh House is sometimes called
the House of Friends, Hopes and Dreams. Friends will support our dreams
of the future. Here, in the Eleventh House, one is not concerned with
day-to-day responsibilities. Instead, thinks about an ideal situation
and dreams of ways to get there. Whether it is achieve or not is less
important than keeping the dreams alive.
Origin
The constellation was immortalized
in the 1960s, proclaimed the Age of Aquarius. However, there is no
standard definition for astrological ages, so the age of Aquarius
could begin in 2150 or even 2660, depending on the preferred definition.
Based on the modern constellation boundaries of Pisces and Aquarius,
the age of Aquarius would begin around 2660.
Aquarius is an air sign, yet water
plays a significant part in it. It's even symbolized by a young boy
pouring water on the earth. Even that part is odd, considering that
the later signs are thought to represent the later stages in life,
with such virtues as wisdom, peacefulness, and humanity. So why a
young boy?
As for the water confusion, the most
logical explanation is that during this mid-winter time of year, the
northern hemisphere actually thaws from its snows. The sign's symbol,
which shows two squiggly parallel lines, serves two purposes: its
waves indicate the importance of water to the sign, but also wisdom.
They were originally drawn as two serpents, one good and one evil;
natives of this sign are therefore believed to know the difference
well.
Aquarius' planetary ruler is actually
a combination of Saturn and Uranus. The two together form a curious
duality: Saturn's influence can be seen in an Aquarian's cool level-headedness,
while Uranus' pull is in the need to be unique, modern, and unconventional.
Characteristics of sign and
planets
Signs: - Marshy places, inferior
grains, rendezvous of debauches, prostitutes and vulgar folk, toddy
shops, intoxicating drinks, gambling dens, mines, aeronautic machinery,
drunkard localities, infamous houses, vineyards, caves.
Sun in Aquarius
One of the standout characteristics
of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness
to follow the beaten track. With advancement and progress on their
minds, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking
and doing things.
The Sun is in detriment here according
to medieval tradition. This means that the Sun is not supported in
acting in accordance with its own nature, which is to be an individual,
set apart and unique from others. This individual often has to share
the spotlight with others. In some instances, when the Sun is afflicted
here, the individual’s sense of purpose, identity and personal
validity are challenged to the point where his/her only choice is
to become a rebel, or to live controversially. This person may feel
at odds with the world. If the Sun has benefices aspecting, then the
native will overcome these odds to some extent, or work more cooperatively.
Sometimes this position is indicative of enlightenment, because the
light pierces through the darkness of its lord, agnoia (Saturn). This
is also oddly enough, the sign of knowledge, whose keywords are often
quoted in astrological texts as "I Know".
Many Aquarians aim to free themselves
of personal and social conditioning. Although open to change in theory,
Aquarians can be surprisingly stubborn. Their idealism runs strong,
but they can be very fixed in their opinions.
Often a bit aloof and even standoffish,
Aquarians nonetheless are usually well-liked. They are curious and
observant, and tolerant in a broad sense. Prejudice and bias is offensive
to the typical Aquarius.
Aquarians are generally very clever,
witty, and intellectual. They value progress and frankness. It's difficult
to throw Aquarians for a loop -- they're generally on top of things.
There is a bit of reformer in Aquarius.
They'll try to get others to see through superficiality, and encourage
them to be open and forthright. "Be true to their self"
and "Don't follow the crowd" are mottos are easily associate
with this sign.
In a diurnal chart, the Sun is made
more powerful and this individual more brilliantly takes a stand to
be unique amongst the crowd. They are philanthropical, and very good
at political analysis. The Nous here can see into the crowd and predict
general political trends easily.
In a nocturnal chart, the Sun is
not well supported in its uniqueness and individuality. This person
may be seeking a normal life, not valuing his/her own uniqueness.
Hiding in plain view is often this individuals approach. The issue
of personal privacy is more important to this native than for most.
Aquarians need space and value personal
freedom. Any attempt to box them in will likely fail. They'll happily
return the favor; and they will treat people from all walks of life
as equals. Equality and fairness are hallmarks of the sign. If they're
quirky and "different", all the better.
Some Famous People with Sun in Aquarius:
Richard Dean Anderson (Sun and Venus in Aquarius), Jennifer Aniston
(Sun and Mercury in Aquarius), Nick Carter (Sun and Mercury in Aquarius),
Geena Davis, Ellen DeGeneres (Sun and Venus in Aquarius), Matt Dillon
(Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Aquarius), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Sun,
Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius), Jack Nicklaus, Tom Selleck, Jerry
Springer (Sun and Mercury in Aquarius), Rob Thomas (Sun, Moon, and
Mercury in Aquarius), Justin Timberlake (Sun and Mars in Aquarius),
Vanna White (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius), Oprah Winfrey (Sun,
Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius), Virginia Woolf (Sun and Mercury in
Aquarius).
Moon in Aquarius
Moon in Aquarius people are rarely
flighty people, but they can be unreliable when it concerns the little
things in life. Often, this is simply an assertion of their independence.
In the long haul, however, they are rather constant, as Aquarius is
a fixed sign. As long as they have their own space and the freedom
to be them, however kooky that may be, they are trustworthy and loyal.
Moon in Aquarius people are extremely
observant. They are life-time students of human nature, loving to
analyze why people do what they do. This often stems from a detached
-- even shy --personality, especially in youth. Whether due to character
or conditioning, Moon in Aquarius people often grow up feeling "different".
Although rather sociable, they are often loners at heart. Many have
strong egos, or at least powerful defense mechanisms, and most Lunar
Aquarians will do their best to be the most unique and unusual person
they can be. Their inner feeling of loneliness -- that they don't
quite fit in -- puts them on the outside, looking in.
There is a very idealistic and progressive
streak in Lunar Aquarians that is admirable indeed. However, when
the Moon is in Aquarius, natives often will deny the more irrational
qualities of emotions -- such as jealousy, possessiveness, and fear
-- in an effort to be "above" what they consider "pettiness".
When this goes too far, Lunar Aquarians can be emotionally blocked,
distant, and detached.
The Aquarian tendency to be humanitarian
shows up powerfully in Moon in Aquarius. However, their kindness and
concern for others is generally more a broad philosophy of life. With
people close to them, Moon in Aquarius natives can seemingly lack
compassion, as they often fully expect others to be as independent
and detached as they are! In close, personal relationships, however,
Lunar Aquarians generally give others a lot of personal freedom, and
they will tolerate and enjoy all kinds of idiosyncrasies in people
around them.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness create both greater activities with organizations and because
of the dryness, a nagging feeling that he/she doesn't truly belong.
Emotional detachment is more likely in this case.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moistness of the night limits activity and involvement in organizations
to just a few important causes. This individual is generally more
content with his/her friends and is not as likely to feel shut out
or slighted.
Lunar Aquarians generally make wonderful
friends. They'll make a point of leaving nobody on the outside. Many
will fight for other's rights and crusade for equality.
What may be surprising is that Moon
in Aquarius people have a lot of pride. In fact, when they've been
attacked in any way (especially regarding their character), they can
become very inflexible and cool. It can be difficult to know just
how sensitive to criticism Lunar Aquarians are, simply because they
hide it so well! When their character or behavior has been criticized,
they tend to dig in their heels and keep right on doing it. They fully
expect others to accept them exactly as they are, or they don't have
much use for them in their lives.
These sometimes maddeningly unpredictable
people are nevertheless quite charming. They have an unmistakable
stubborn streak, but when left to be themselves, they make unusual
and endlessly interesting people to be around. Life just wouldn't
be the same without Lunar Aquarians' unusual spin on the world and
the people in it!
Some Famous people with Moon in Aquarius:
J. C. Chasez, George Clooney, Russell Crowe, David Duchovny, Calista
Flockhart, John Lennon, George Lucas, Tobey Maguire, Marilyn Monroe,
Conan O'Brien, Princess Diana, Britney Spears, Rob Thomas (Sun, Moon,
and Mercury in Aquarius), Christopher Walken (Moon and Mars in Aquarius.
Stars
The stars of the constellation Aquarius
can be connected in an alternative way, which graphically shows the
water bearer running while holding a vessel from which water is spilling.
The water bearer's head is formed
by the quadrangle of stars α Aquarii, γ Aquarii, η
Aquarii, and π Aquarii: α Aquarii being of the third magnitude.
Star ζ Aquarii, lodged within the quadrangle, represents an eye.
The water bearer's torso is formed
by the stars α Aquarii and β Aquarii, with β Aquarii
being of the third magnitude.
The water bearer's left leg is formed
by the stars β Aquarii and ι Aquarii, whereas his right
leg is formed by the stars β Aquarii, ν Aquarii, μ Aquarii,
and ε Aquarii, with these last two stars representing a foot.
The water bearer's arm is formed
by the stars α Aquarii, θ Aquarii, and λ Aquarii,
with λ Aquarii being the hand.
The water bearer is holding a vessel,
perhaps a jar, which is formed by the stars ψ¹ Aquarii, φ
Aquarii, λ Aquarii, τ Aquarii, and δ Aquarii. The
open top of the vessel consists of the triangle of stars ψ¹
Aquarii, φ Aquarii, and λ Aquarii.
Water is being poured from the vessel
in a pair of streamlines. The streamline on the left is formed by
the stars ψ¹ Aquarii, 98 Aquarii, 99 Aquarii, and 101 Aquarii.
The streamline on the right is formed by the stars ψ¹ Aquarii,
88 Aquarii, 89 Aquarii, and 86 Aquarii.
Mercury in Aquarius
Unconventional in self-expression,
Mercury in Aquarius natives enjoy breaking the rules. They are not
necessarily loud or flamboyant people, but they often have a quiet
way of stirring others up. These natives delight in exposing what
they deem biases in others' way of thinking.
Very quick to contradict others,
and to offer a different perspective, these natives enjoy intellectual
debates. They're very quick and alert, and their powers of observation
are particularly strong. They usually "win" debates. In
fact, they're very interested in scoring intellectual points, which
can be maddening to others at times!
Aquarius is an air sign, which is
detached and intellectual by nature. It is also a fixed sign, so people
born under Mercury in Aquarius often have an intellectual "agenda".
They are even given to forcing their ideas on others. This apparent
intellectual superiority complex can intimidate others at times.
On the other hand, Mercury in Aquarius
people can make for delightful company. They usually have something
interesting to say, and their perspective on issues can be delightfully
unusual, quirky, and surprisingly insightful.
According to modern astrologers,
Mercury is exalted in this sign. It does function well here, but according
to ancient astrologers it is not exalted. Robert Schmidt says that
when a planet is in exaltation, that issue enters into the awareness
of the cosmic soul more brilliantly than would otherwise happen. Mercury
here is very sharp, no doubt. It is indicative of a scientific mind
that is well able to abstract and handle hierarchical logical problems
with relative ease. Saturn organizes these concepts into classes with
the ability to compartmentalize functions. They might want to watch
a tendency for depression because Saturn will tend to focus Mercury
predominantly on the negative.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day create an intellect that is sharp and able to make
fine distinctions. This individual is skeptical and prone to put any
theory to scientific analysis before believing in it.
In a nocturnal chart, Mercury is
in its own trigon and is therefore essentially dignified. This individual
is a very good communicator and good at making relational arguments
if its lord, Saturn, happens to receive it.
These individuals have unusual study
habits. They generally are resistant to following schedules, even
if they have a Capricorn Sun -- and perhaps particularly so with a
Pisces Sun sign. Although they are often surprisingly organized, their
sense of order may not be entirely understandable to others.
These natives are often attracted
to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits. Anything that promises
progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal. Their sense
of humor is often well-developed and unique. Practical jokes and anything
that shocks and stirs up others are especially appreciated by Mercury
in Aquarius people.
Some Famous People with Mercury in
Aquarius: Jennifer Aniston (Sun and Mercury in Aquarius), Jon Bon
Jovi (Mercury and Mars in Aquarius), Jim Carrey, Nick Carter (Sun
and Mercury in Aquarius), Kevin Costner, Matt Dillon (Sun, Mercury,
and Mars in Aquarius), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Sun, Mercury, and
Venus in Aquarius), Freddie Prinze Jr., Jerry Springer (Sun and Mercury
in Aquarius), Rob Thomas (Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Aquarius), Vanna
White (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius), Oprah Winfrey (Sun, Mercury,
and Venus in Aquarius), Virginia Woolf (Sun and Mercury in Aquarius).
Venus in Aquarius
Venus in Aquarius people try to impress
others with their open-minded, future-thinking spirit. They want them
to see them as unique, rebellious, and a little provocative. They
are attractive when they are acting a little aloof. They want others
to acknowledge and appreciate that they don't follow the beaten track
in matters of the heart.
Venus in Aquarius men and women are
attracted to unusual or unconventional relationships. They don't want
to follow all the rules, although they may make quite a few of their
own. They can appear quite standoffish at times, and are threatened
by restrictions of any kind. Emotional types may be put off by their
detached manner in love. Venus in Aquarius wants them to love them
for their intellect, and to admire their visions. They value lovers
who are also good friends, and they avoid emotional displays or confrontations
like the plague. Venus in Aquarius will delight in shocking them with
their unusual ways and their forward-looking thinking.
Venus is a bit reserved in this sign.
This is because Saturn tends to cool the social activity that Venus
is prone to create. Typically, this person tends to feel a social
or cultural gap between who they are and who they have dealings with.
Often there are large differences in status and class to contend with,
or prejudice. One might say that this position represents the epitome
of political correctness, because Venus does not want to create social
tension in public, and Aquarius is very public. The coolness of the
social atmosphere does not mean that this native is not popular, quite
the contrary, they have many friends, just very few close friends.
In a diurnal chart, the heat of the
day creates a more outgoing personality to the point that this individual
is quite social. The dryness though does create a separateness and
distinctiveness between people in their relationships, which tends
to prevent close alliances.
In a nocturnal chart, the coolness
of night reduces activity and brings people closer together in tighter
relationships with them. The moistness tends to blur distinctions
so that there is ambiguity in where their friends stand on certain
issues, but they are not likely to care as much. This is because the
lack of distinction creates at least the illusion of unity.
Pleasing Venus in Aquarius involves
letting them know just how interesting they are. Put up with their
occasional need to act superior on an intellectual level -- they are
very proud of their unique ideas and visions. Dream along with them,
and don't fence them in. They need space and will happily return the
favor, giving them lots of room to breathe and to be their self.
Some Famous People with Venus in
Aquarius: Richard Dean Anderson (Sun and Venus in Aquarius), Dido
Armstrong (Venus in Aqaurius), Alec Baldwin (Venus and Mars in Aquarius),
Billy Bragg, Nicolas Cage, Ellen DeGeneres (Sun and Venus in Aquarius),
Walt Disney, Mel Gibson, Elton John, Ricky Martin, Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius), Freddie Prinze Jr.,
Vanna White (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius), Oprah Winfrey (Sun,
Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius).
Mars in Aquarius
It can be a little difficult to understand
exactly what makes a Mars in Aquarius native tick. And that's absolutely
fine with them -- they enjoy surprising people. Mars in Aquarius natives
often have a rather original view of the world as well.
These natives are generally quite
proud of their independence. They are not easily pushed around with
Mars in this fixed sign. Because Aquarius is progressive and open-minded
when it comes to the world at large, it can be surprising that on
a personal level, Mars in Aquarius natives can be quite obstinate.
If they feel boxed in, they are quite likely to rebel. If they've
discovered a pattern to their ways, they'll make sure they aren't
so predictable the next time around. Being seen as "normal"
simply won't do!
Mars is somewhat constrained in its
actions due to Saturn's ruler ship. This native sometimes likes to
develop a consensus before taking action in some of the more positive
cases, but it can also be an irritant where the individual does not
feel he/she can act alone with the approval of others. Therefore it
is also frequently indicative of a rebellious streak. In some cases
it represents someone who is a fighter or an advocate for a group
or a cause. It also shows someone who likes to instigate or rouse
a crowd to action.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day make the lord of Mars powerful while causing Mars
to become rash. Objectives in life are more clearly defined but give
this individual less freedom of movement and autonomy.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night counteract the rashness of Mars and bring the energy
level down to more tolerable levels. Projects and objectives are not
as well defined, but the person has a little more autonomy. In some
cases it is indicative of lethargy.
With Mars, the planet of energy
and drive, in an Air sign, these individuals get off on mental and
intellectual pursuits. Aquarius is a somewhat scattered sign, even
though it's persevering in the long haul. If there's a method to their
madness, it isn't always easy to see. Projects are taken on with a
shotgun-style approach with this position of Mars.
Mars in Air signs are generally quite
clever at getting what they want; in Aquarius, they are particularly
adept at getting their way. While this is not an overtly aggressive
position of Mars (Aquarius has a manner that is far too detached to
come across too forcefully), it is very willful. Combine willfulness
with the cleverness of an Air sign, and they have a person who is
quite creative about getting what they want -- which generally is
getting their way! Unlike with Mars in Aries or Leo natives, for example,
they won't always know they're being dominated by a Mars in Aquarius
native!
Of all the personal planets in the
sign of Aquarius, Mars placed here can show the strongest "reformer"
streak. The Aquarian ideal of equality works big time with this position,
and the desire to push their agenda on others (usually in creative,
rather than aggressive, ways) runs high. Obstinacy and a superiority
complex are this position's least desirable traits; openness to new
ways of doing things (as long as they're not forced upon them) is
where they shine.
Some Famous People with Mars in Aquarius:
Alec Baldwin (Venus and Mars in Aquarius), Jon Bon Jovi (Mercury and
Mars in Aquarius), Matt Dillon (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Aquarius),
Justin Timberlake (Sun and Mars in Aquarius), Christopher Walken (Moon
and Mars in Aquarius).
Jupiter in Aquarius
This individual is often noted for
their humanitarian and philanthropical tendencies. This is a good
position for lawyers, judges and politicians; because Jupiter here
shows that it is likely that the majority of the people will have
respect for this native. Jupiter is very inclusive, so the natives
social circle may potentially be very large and span across ideological,
ethnic and racial boundaries. As a result, he/she develops a very
broad perspective and sympathy for people. This individual feels at
ease in large gatherings. Generally this native will tend to lean
to the political left.
In a diurnal chart, the heat makes
Jupiter more socially active and popular. This person has faith in
people and is generally more trusting. This position is best for politicians
especially if Jupiter should also be above the horizon. This is because
Jupiter is of the sect in favor, in hayz, and is supportive of the
air element.
In a nocturnal chart, faith gives
way to reason, trust gives way to inspection. It is still favorable
at the social level but with the cold decreasing activity and concentrating
people both alike and unlike in tighter spaces, the native is likely
to prefer involvement in smaller groups and is less active within
them.
Saturn in Aquarius
Saturn is in its own house here and
is therefore essentially dignified and powerful. This shows an individual
who generally gets along with authority and respects rank and privilege
and is responsible. They are very cool headed, scientifically minded
and usually have a talent for mathematics and computer science. Frequently,
this individual will move up in the corporate ladder to very distinguished
heights. They have respect for the law. Sometimes this individual
runs into crises that force he/she to learn that the spirit of the
law is more important than the letter of the law. Generally this person
will tend to lean to the political right.
In a diurnal chart, the heat nullifies
Saturn's inherently malefic qualities. This person is good at making
clear social policy and is a talented legislator because the heat
and dryness of the day are supportive of making fine distinctions.
If Saturn is also above the horizon and angular; it is in hayz. The
native often aspires to the heights of political power or becomes
a leader in business.
In a nocturnal chart, Saturn is still
essentially dignified, but the native’s social status is likely
to be less powerful. The coldness of night elementally concentrates
that which is alike and unlike together. This creates lack of clarity
in social circumstances or a feeling of being cramped socially. If
feeling trapped in unfavorable social circumstances for too long,
the native may develop misanthropic tendencies.
Uranus in Aquarius
Since Uranus is considered exceedingly
hot and dry (like lightning and electricity) according to most astrologers,
it would make sense if this planet had the tendency to stir up discontent
and revolt amongst the masses. Many born with Uranus here will be
prone to question authority and traditional ways of thinking and knowing.
They will also be interested in social reform. It is interesting to
see that the internet began to become very popular just as Uranus
entered this sign in 1996. This is symbolic of connecting the masses
of the world through electricity. Those of this generation with close
aspects to Uranus from personal planets in this sign will probably
make some important contributions in the fields of physics, philosophy,
computer science and technology. From the standpoint of modern astrology,
this is a combination of "I Know & quote”, with the
higher mind and break-through insight. It is an ingenious combination.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day support distinctions, separateness, purification
and increased activity. This half of the generation will be more openly
rebellious with an agenda of social reform, innovative, and analytically
minded.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moistness of night have the effect of nullifying to some extent the
finer distinctions between people and tendency toward social purification.
Rebellion is more likely to take a subtler form.
Neptune in Aquarius
Neptune is idealistic by nature,
and because of its inherently cold and wet disposition, it is inclined
to promote social unity and discount the individual differences between
people. Those born of this generation may be inclined towards utopic
visions of how people should live together. Communism in some altered
form may come back into fashion when those born during this time mature.
On a more mundane level, this has the effect of placating the masses
so that they might not take action when they should and become apathetic
about social issues. Some will be disillusioned with humanity and
become misanthropic as a result. Those with the inner planets closely
aspecting Neptune will be the ones who will be set as examples for
these ideals.
In a diurnal chart, Neptune is not
as wet and cold, but that is not to say that it supports making fine
distinctions, just that it is less inclined to unify and idealize
social situations. This half of the generation will be more active
in promoting utopic ideals.
In a nocturnal chart, Neptune's cold
and wet nature is amplified. Social and moral issues are more supported
but there is less motivation to act on behalf of promoting change.
These natives are more inclined to promote passive resistance as an
answer to social change.
Pluto in Aquarius
The last time Pluto was in this sign,
the French revolution was underway and the United States began amending
its newly drafted constitution. Pluto in Aquarius is symbolic of power
in the hands of many. Pluto itself is symbolic of generation and corruption,
and enters this sign after being in the sign of Capricorn indicating
the decay and breakdown of governments. Many from this generation
will be anarchists, preferring that power be decentralized. As usual,
those with the inner planets closely configured with Pluto will be
those set as examples before the public. Since Pluto's sect nature
is undetermined, it does not seem useful to speculate about any differences
based on this.
Astrology
The Western astrological sign Aquarius
of the tropical zodiac (January 21 to February 20 respectively) differs
from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign
of the sidereal zodiac (February 16 - March 11).
As astrological age is identified
by the name of the constellation in which the vernal equinox (the
position of the Sun on the first day of spring, March 21 is located.
This location moves slowly from one zodiac constellation to the next
as a results of Earth's procession.
In some cosmologies, Aquarius is
associated with the classical element Air, and thus called an Air
Sign (with Libra and Gemini). It is also one of the four fixed signs
(along with Leo, Scorpio, and Taurus). Its polar opposite is Leo.
It is the domicile of Saturn (since its discovery Uranus has been
considered Aquarius' ruling or co-ruling planet by many modern astrologers).
Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the
seat of its power. Aquarius rules the circulatory system as well as
the ankles. The symbol for Aquarius is the water bearer.
Aquarius is traditionally thought
be ruled by the planet Saturn, but in more recent years many astrologers
have labeled Uranus as the ruler or co-ruler of Aquarius, attributing
the eroticism associated with the Sign to the planet's influence.
There are three deep sky objects
that are on the Messier catalog, the Globular Cluster M2, Globular
Cluster M72, and the Open Cluster M73.
Two planetary nebulae are found in
Aquarius: NGC 7009, called the Saturn Nebula due to its resemblance
to the planet, to the southeast of η Aquarii; and NGC 7293, the
famous Helix Nebula, southwest of δ Aquarii.
They are cool, calm, collected, friendly,
popular and unselfish. They prefer liking many to loving one. They
live by their own rules and regulations, regardless of how unacceptable
these may be to society. Their romantic attractions, their partner
friends and in groups. They are interested in new art forms, legal
reforms and technical endeavors. Not possessive of nature, they will
shy away from anyone who might want to tie them down. They are intuitive,
and they function well with are often sudden, but they are not always
lasting.
They are strong and self-disciplined.
Self-reliant, efficient, dignified and intense, they seldom act until
they know what is right for them. Idealistic, probing and set in their
ways, they are very trustworthy and they expect the same from others.
They lack adaptability and the power to relax. A planner and strategist
without equal, they have an all-or-nothing attitude that makes compromise
difficult.
Mythology
To fully appreciate the mythological
significance of Aquarius, it is necessary to bear in mind the importance
of water to our ancestors. The very existence of the ancients depended
upon the supply of life sustaining moisture. During the month of Aquarius,
the rains were on the land, literally poured from the heavens. In
many regions of the ancient world, this was seen as the beginning
the New Year, a time of new life cycles. It is not hard to understand
why some images depict the figure of Aquarius as water bearing angel
or other divine being.
The region of the night sky in which
Aquarius resides is populated by water signs. In Babylonia, this region
of the zodiac was known as the Sea. To the Greeks, Aquarius was associated
with Ganymede, the son of Tros, king of Phrygia. In Greek mythology
this young boy was Ganymede, a mortal so handsome he was chosen by
the gods to be their cup-bearer, and so ascended to the heavens. The
god Zeus, so admired the boy's beauty that, disguised as an eagle,
he abducted him to serve as cup bearer on mount Olympus. It was this
desire to possess the young prince which inspired Zeus to cast his
image eternally in the night sky. He represents the sheer physical
beauty of Aquarians.
Aquarius generally resembles the
figure of a man, and when considering fainter humanly visible stars,
it takes on the image of a man with a bucket from which is pouring
a stream. Aquarius was also identified as the pourer of the waters,
which flooded the earth in the Great Flood, in the ancient Greek version
of the myth. As such, the constellation Eridanus was sometimes identified
as being a river poured out by Aquarius.
It may also, together with the constellation
Pegasus, be part of the origin of the myth of the Mares of Diomedes,
which forms one of The Twelve Labors of Heracles. Its association
with pouring out rivers, and the nearby constellation of Capricorns,
may be the source of the myth of the Augean stable, which forms another
of the labors.
Safe but lonely, the two sole survivors
of Earth walked about as the waters became lower and exposed more
and more land. What were the two to do? They appealed
to an oracle and were told to throw over their shoulders the
bones of their mother".
Deucalion guessed that "the bones of Mother Earth must be stones."
So as the two walked along the picked up stones and kept tossing them
over their shoulders. After a while they looked behind them
and there were people. The stones that Deucalion had thrown
had become men and those thrown by Pyrrha had become women.
And so Aquarius became known as the
taker of life and the giver of life. This myth of a world flood
and then a rebirth of life on Earth is a common one and can by found
in many myths.
The Water-Carrier
Neptune was discovered in Aquarius in 1846. Aquarius is an old constellation.
As the Water-Carrier he is carved in stones of the Babylonian Empire
and probably is still older than that period.
Aquarius as the God of the Waters must have been regarding as a good
god by some and a bad god by others, depending on the prevailing climate
of their region. To the Egyptians, Greeks, and others who lived
in lands plagued by a dry climate, Aquarius surely was looked on as
a kindly god who brought rain when they were most needed during the
planting season. The Babylonians looked on Aquarius as a bad
god and referred to the month when the Sun was in Aquarius as the
month of "the curse of rain".
In ancient Greece, Aquarius is identified with a man and his wife
known as Deucalion and Pyrrha. According to the myth, in 1500
B.C., Aquarius caused a great flood to wash over Earth. Deucalion's
father advised his son and wife to build a great boat and stock it
with provisions. They did and the two floated in the world-sea
for nine days and nine nights. Eventually boat aground on Mount
Parnassus.
In Egyptian mythology, God pours water into the Nile River at the
season when the Nile normally overflows its banks; this brings the
much needed water to the farmlands bordering that great river.
The Arabs, dependent on the water of the rainy season, saw Aquarius
as a bucket because their religion forbids them from showing pictures
of any living form.
In modern times this constellation was immortalized by the counterculture
of the 1960's, which proclaimed the Age of Aquarius. This was
a bit premature as the Aquarian age will not actually begin for another
600 years.
Characteristics
The sign Aquarius is symbolized by
the Water Carrier. Their sign's element is Air. Aquarius is ruled
by the planet Uranus. Aquarius is modern, progressive, diplomatic,
and humanitarian. Independence and a feeling of freedom is necessary.
Aquarius has a strong will, and is original, inventive, and will always
enjoy doing the unexpected. Aquarius is also creative, scientific,
quick, unconventional, friendly and enjoys groups of people or belonging
to clubs. Aquarius is intellectual, faithful, and intuitive, with
an ability to "see through people". They may lead a bohemian
or hippie lifestyle.
They are honest and tolerant. They
respect other people's beliefs. They always think ahead. They keep
their word. They prefer doing things their own way.
Aquarius is an air sign, like Gemini
and Libra. These signs are linked with air and are usually connected
with communication and the intellect. Aquarians tend to display friendliness,
honesty and loyalty, they are original and innovative, independent
and intellectual. However they can also be difficult and stubborn,
unpredictable and emotionally detached.
The symbol for Aquarius is the Water-Bearer,
a universal man who is pouring forth water from a jug. This universal
man represents the community of mankind. The waters of life flow,
like ideas coming from the unrestrained mind. Many people mistakenly
think that Aquarius is a water sign, but it is an intellectual air
sign. As such, Aquarius can be interested in concepts and ideas. Because
of its universality, Aquarius can seem somewhat detached from personal
emotions. It's not that they Aquarius don't have feelings; it's just
that theirs are different from most others. They dance to the beat
of a different drummer.
Aquarius can be good communicators
as long as they stay in the mental realms. Aquarius are friendly,
but can become uncomfortable as they discuss their feelings. In fact,
their friends are very important to them and Aquarius might be involved
with groups of like-minded people in a social club, a political action
group or a public service group.
This Water Bearer sign loves to handle
challenges. Aquarians spend a lot of time thinking about them, and
know their qualities and skills very well. Their nature keeps on constantly
searching for something new and unique at work.
An Aquarius knows no boundaries and
can stretch his work to unpredictable limits. Things never get boring
for him, until its a dull day when the mind is not working.
The Aquarius motto could be Einstein's
"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from
mediocre minds." And theirs is a great spirit, sometimes erratic
and sometimes brilliant. They know much about the self and the world,
but knowing everything can be an obstacle to their own happiness.
Their practice is twofold. First, they must learn how to separate
their crazy notions from what is important. And second, they need
to learn how to respond to the opposition they encounter without making
it difficult for themselves.
Aquarians can find that their independent
nature makes it hard to socialize, and they resent any efforts to
interfere with their affairs and find fault in others easily. They
are very often creatively gifted individuals, like actors, musicians
and artists.
Aquarius Greatest Strength: Their
eclectic way of seeing things.
Aquarius Possible Weakness: Know-it-all
attitude puts others off.
General Character
Air sign ruled by Saturn and Uranus.
Aquarians are sincere, altruistic, free and active. Usually, they
are quiet, but sometimes they can be extremely nervous or strained.
They ask a lot from other people, and when they are disappointed,
they suffer and bear grudge against them. Aquarians are vain, they
love compliments and never leave anything to chance. They are intuitive,
fanciful and critical. They can be good and pleasing friends as well
as passionate lovers. They have lots of interests and creative ideas.
Suited jobs: poet, astronomer, actor, pilot and smith.
Aquarians in general come in two
different types: shy, and lively. Both are strong-willed and honest.
Their thoughts are orderly and they plan their life in a systematic
manner. Sometimes they are aggressive and loud. They are unprejudiced
and can see other's points of views. They are serious, but they can
also be funny with a dry sense of humor. They are also logical and
intelligent. There are times when they feel the need to withdraw from
people and be alone for a while, which causes some people to think
that they are a loner. But, while they are alone, they enjoy meditating
and prayer. Aquarians are usually gifted in drama. They are very independent
and rarely go along with the crowd. Some Aquarians are extremely egotistical,
as a result will drive friends away.
Aquarian energy embodies the airy
qualities of abstraction, idealism and altruism (particularly the
latter, symbolized by the water carrier pouring forth water for others)
with saturnine coolness (added to the signs fixed quality) and Uranian
novelty and individualism. Not easily reconciled attributes! Consequently,
Aquarian energy is quirky, eccentric, fearless and independent.
Ruler: Uranus - symbol of originality
and rebellion The discovery of Uranus in 1781 coincided with the French
Revolution and therefore came to represent revolution, change and
freedom. This is also the planet of the great inventor and governs
eccentricity, independence, intuition, rhythms, mobility and impulsiveness.
Aquarians symbolized by the water
bearer, are generally idealistic, generous and humane. They are good
judges of human nature. Though gifted with insight and intuition they
do not depend upon this for formulating their opinions. Once they
have formed their opinion they are unalterable. Aquarians are cheerful
and popular among friends. They like to receive affection from others
and in turn do every thing in their capability to be faithful. Aquarians
are eager to welcome fresh and novel ideas. They refuse to take any
thing on trust. They insist on seeing things demonstrated before accepting
them. They often have fine talent and incipient genius inherent in
them. In financial matters they are usually fortunate but it is a
cause of worry for the rich and the poor alike. In the matter of religion
they are deep believers but they have great respect for other religions
too.
People under the Aquarius Horoscope
want a partner to share in the adventures, along with the challenges,
that life has to offer. Life with them will never be boring.
As a friend
Beneath the detached, unemotional
exterior lies a kind hearted friend that will go out of their way
to help another. They love to make people laugh and cheer people up
and it makes them feel good to make others feel good. They do not
expect anything in return for this could put a damper on their freedom,
they live with no strings attached. They are very unconventional and
always full of excitement, an Aquarius friend always makes life fun.
They might offer a spontaneous last minute camping trip with no supplies
prepared, if they decide to go along, they will have a weekend to
remember forever!
They will always give both guidance
and warmth. Basically they are a better counselor than friend with
their objectivity and detachment. Theirs is the sign of friendship,
so even though emotionally involved they can visualize problems clearly.
As a Women
Physical Appearance - They are tall
with full stature and are quite strong. The face is oval, complexion
is fair and appearance - charming. The hair are normally of brown
shade. The teeth may be defective. There may be a mole or scar on
the calf muscle.
Mental Attitude - They are intelligent
and they can see through the motives of a person interacting with
them. The character of the person comes in open as a book in front
of them after a few meetings. Blessed with a very high level of concentration
and understanding, they can easily get to the root of any problem.
General Nature - They are generally
very fixed or somewhat rigid in their views. They will generally have
very long term friendships. The Aquarian woman also makes friends
with a lot of difficulty but once made, she is always very sincere
towards them. They are definitely not the kind of person who will
do back biting and work against their friends. True to their words
and feelings they are not only sincere in front of a person but even
in his absence.
The women born in this sign have
a lot of liking for secluded places and may become like a true hermit
at some stage of life. They will be drawn towards mediation. As a
Aquarian woman, they will also have a lot of interest in the material
life. They may have a nature of accumulation and shall accumulate
a lot during their life time. But again, the present day women may
not actually identify correctly with the traits defined by zodiac
astrology of ancient yore.
They will be a very systematic and
organized worker but a bit slow, because they must understand the
entire concept before getting to do anything. The strengths and weaknesses
of an Aquarian woman are not open so, no one can understand them.
The world knows and understands only what they want to make it understand.
Health - Infectious diseases, skin
ailments, tooth troubles, tonsils and problem with leg muscles are
the common problems faced by the Aquarius people. They also have to
protect them self from excessive heat and cold and have sufficient
rest and exercise otherwise the body may give some problems.
Money - Slow and steady in earning
money, they can accumulate a lot of wealth in their lifetime. They
will be not running after wealth but wealth shall follow them forever.
They also have the ability to create organizations and develop innovative
systems through which they can earn large incomes. Due to their talent
and ambition they will earn a lot. But on the flip side, there is
always the danger of their getting into the habit of cheating and
deceiving of people they deal with. They should be careful of this
tendency otherwise they may suffer serious setback.
Romance And Sex Life - The Aquarians
seek refined and intelligent partners they will be unassuming and
will not boss over their partner but being a great student of human
nature they will be able to control the other person. In romance,
they start a bit late but pick up fast. They shall learn very ingenious
ways of getting to know men and shall be an expert in making them
run around them. This shall satisfy their ego but they shall choose
their man with great care. Once they get serious with a man they shall
be totally devoted to him.
They will very rarely be jealous
of other women. They will seldom have time for such thoughts, but
if they find him insincere they leave him without a second thought.
Not interested in sex for the sake of it they can be led into it by
lot of patience. Gentle rubbing on their calves and ankles will make
them ecstatic.
Marriage - They marry late, but divorces
are very rare with aquarian women. Their marriage will be considered
as a model marriage. One, they have the ability to see through their
partner and decide accordingly. Secondly, they are very beautiful.
They can have a charm which will keep their husband tied down to them
for eternity.
An Aquarian can handle her home and
her children in most unconventional way. They may try strange combinations
and arrangements and also make them look good. They will be able to
handle guests in a most remarkable manner and can talk on any subject
on the earth. They can talk according to the interest of the person
they are talking to. They can converse with children as if they are
one of them and they can talk to an eighty year old as if they are
of the same age group.
Caution: Changing moods from most
elated levels to deep depressions is what causes problems for them.
When one high mood, they think that the world is in their pocket and
that they are a winner and shall remain a winner always. When in a
pensive mood, they tend to think that there is no person as wronged
as they have been, they do not have a future and so on.... What they
do and say during these periods is what puts them in deep trouble.
As a Baby
Is the Aquarius baby lonely? Well,
it may certainly seem that way, but appearances can also be deceiving.
This is a child who is a bit detached, even aloof, so that solo time
may be exactly what they want. Even when crying! This kid would rather
work out that hussy fit alone. This, of course, begs the question:
could this tot use some socialization? Probably, since this won't
be the Aquarius baby's natural state, the company of others will become
an acquired taste with much prodding from Mom and Dad. The Aquarius
baby does have much they can teach others, since this child will pick
things up early and differently. The rebel baby has arrived! Parents,
sibs, and friends will quickly grow to expect the unexpected from
the Aquarius tot.
The companionship of friends and
others will be quite important to the Aquarius baby, even if they
don't know how to show it. For that reason, this is a pattern of behavior
that should be encouraged. While the Aquarius tot can be stubborn
at times and certainly into their own stuff, often their mind is engaged
in creative pursuits which should be nurtured as much as possible.
To sum up, the Aquarius baby is a
talker, very bright, always thinking, and actually enjoying the company
of others, despite appearances. Work with this baby, and they will
shine!
Positive Qualities
When they're not acting for social
change, they're often discussing it. As an air sign, they are a person
of great ideas, an idealist and a bit of a dreamer, and they love
to engage people in their vision of an ideal society. As a thinker,
they're quite logical, so their arguments are always compelling and
believable. Combined with their humanitarian zeal, this makes them
a popular choice for political or social leadership.
They are the world's humanitarians.
They love people passionately, in large numbers. For this reason,
they're always involved in areas where they can make a difference
for the betterment of humankind. Local politics, especially, is where
they feel they can make the most difference, and where they feel the
problems are most real.
And once they decide what's right,
they stick to it. They hate compromise. Unlike Sagittarians, however,
whose pride will not allow them to give in to a more logical argument;
they will admit they're wrong if someone else's argument is stronger.
But they'll immediately turn it around and adopt it as part of their
own agenda.
As a sign of the people, they refuse
to be placed on a higher level than their friends, even though they
may deserve it. They distrust and dislike hierarchies -- they're a
true democrat -- so inequities of class and race fuel their ardor
all the more.
The fact that these folks can think
so creatively and inventively is one of their greatest assets. Water
Bearers are all about progress and technology -- they love the latest
gadgets, gewgaws, computers and next-generation technologies. Their
approach in doing so may be unpredictable, impersonal and at times
cold!
.Aquarians believes that their offbeat,
original approach will win the day, and that new thought is what is
needed to change the world. Those born under this Sign are altruistic,
humane people who are determined to make a difference.
Despite their social passions, they're
actually very solitary and independent more than people realize. (Another
aspect of the two serpents in their sign, which represent good and
evil, is a coexistence of other opposites: sociability and aloofness,
selflessness and independence, politeness and rudeness. Some astrologers
even believe the sign itself is comprised of complete opposites: those
people who are the best in the world, and those who are the worst.)
In any case, they've learned several tricks to maintain their independence
when they need to: they let the answering machine pick up the phone
at home, or they're conveniently absent or late for appointments.
Essentially, they make a point to interact with people when they choose
to, not vice-versa. This is not a negative trait, if s just they being
true to them first and foremost.
Negative Qualities
The later zodiac signs are considered
emotionally unstable, progressively more so in the sequence. They
are known for being very touchy, especially when criticized. They
have a thin skin -- they're extremely sensitive to comments from people,
and easily hurt.
They're also known for their fear
of rejection. Quite often, they find it easier to explain them --
or even ask for a date -- on paper, where they can pour out their
soul freely, and not be present for the potentially negative blow.
This trait alone has led many Aquarians to blossom into passionate
writers and poets. Much like the often misunderstood Virgo, their
true self shines through on paper, revealing a sensitive, passionate
soul that surprises those who only know their cool, independent public
persona.
All of this emotional sensitivity,
though, has its downside. If they can't accept criticism, they can't
improve flaws in their character. Similarly, if they can't face rejection,
they're not likely to survive and prosper in the real world.
Some of the criticism they've heard
is probably oriented toward their curt, sometimes rude social manners.
This is not because they mean to be offensive; it's just that they
find formalities a bit hypocritical and elitist. They're a person
of the people, after all, and they know their own mind, and they speak
what's on it. Those little things don't feel right to them, so they
ignore them. Of course, the problem is, they (and perhaps Sagittarius)
are the only one who does, and this directness is not appreciated
by most. No doubt they've experienced a few resulting social episodes
by now.
Physical Qualities and Activities
Aquarians are far and away the most
physically attractive sign in the zodiac, especially around the eyes,
because the sign rules that area (as well as the lower legs). Just
as the boy in the hieroglyph is beautiful because of a few soft feminine
features, so too is each Aquarian blessed with androgynous good looks:
men will have a feminine feature or two, women a masculine few. Most
Aquarians have angular faces, not round, and slight builds. Each step
is rather light, and the independent streak shows in how an Aquarian
manages to avoid bumping into people.
The list of beautiful female Aquarians,
then, is quite long: Jeanne Moreau, Tallulah Bankhead, Mia Farrow,
Kim Novak, Vanessa Redgrave, Princess Caroline, Geena Davis, Nastassia
Kinski, Katherine Ross, Suzanne Pleshette, Princess Stephanie, Christie
Brinkley, Barbara Hershey, Lana Turner, Tina Louise, Jane Seymour,
Cybil Shepherd, and Vanna White.
Handsome male Aquarians include Clark
Gable, James Dean, Charles Lindbergh, Placido Domingo, Rutger Hauer,
Humphrey Bogart, Neil Diamond, Paul Newman, Wayne Gretsky, Mikhail
Baryshnikov, Tom Selleck, John Forsythe, Tom Brokaw, Nick Nolte, Robert
Wagner, Burt Reynolds, Matt Dillon, and John Travolta.
As an Aquarian, they're not much
into sports, although they do enjoy being part of a team. This manifests
itself in an interest in being on social committees or in charity
groups. They're also interested in scientific pursuits, so they're
happy to spend their time building a ham radio, or going to an aeronautics
museum, or reading science fiction.
Physical appearance
They have clean-cut good looks and
a ready smile that shows off their excellent teeth to advantage. They
can eat any amount of junk food and still remain slim. Aquarians like
to wear unusual outfits like hippie gear or New Age kaftans.
Beauty - As an Aquarius, they are
a gorgeous vision of shimmering awkwardness, a lovely mess of high
self-respect but occasional insecurity, a brilliant innovator with
a charitable, giving heart. Their regard for the citizens of the world
– including the non-human citizens of the world – compels
them to make conscientious and respectful decisions. When it comes
to beauty, they like to keep it natural and cruelty-free, but they
do love a little flair here and there. They were thrilled when shimmery
powders came back, and they jumped at the chance to accent their eyes
with a light dusting of glitter.
Underneath the socially progressive
exterior of this Fixed Air Sign lurks a future fetishist – they
have a weakness for gadgets, and they love any product touted as revolutionary
or new, especially if it's also all-natural. Since they bore so easily,
they're always looking for the next great moisturizer, hair color
or cuticle treatment.
Although they have the utmost respect
for their own, they're lacking in the self-esteem department at times.
They're always worrying that they don't look good enough or that they're
not feminine enough. No need to worry, Water Bearer, they look stunning
no matter what they do. Their beauty comes from their ability to accept
them and make the best of the gifts they've been given. They set their
own beauty standards, and this independence raises their beauty to
a transcendent level. Their beauty is not of this world – it's
out of it.
Personality
The Aquarian personality means that
they can either be quite shy and retiring, or exuberant and unconventional,
but in either case they are nearly always imaginative and insightful.
This has meant that the Age of Aquarius has been much anticipated
among psychic circles as a period in which mankind will experience
significant spiritual awakening.
Aquarius indicates intellectual orientation,
and most of these individuals are likely to possess remarkable mental
poise. They are rarely frightened or affronted by sudden shocks, surprises,
or the abnormal and bizarre. Their particular mental orientation gives
them an air of detached interest, and as a rule, they remain unaffected
and uninfluenced by such social trappings as status, power, and wealth.
They are interested in people for their own sake, not their wealth
or status. With a minimum of effort they are able to attract many
friends and acquaintances.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet
of upheaval and change, as well as by its ancient ruler, Saturn, planet
of restriction and structure. Strangely enough these two very different
influences can be compatible in the personalities of these individuals.
There is the strong possibility they will experience at least one
or more dramatic changes of direction in their lives, many times this
happens through some quirk of fortune or circumstance over which they
have no control. These changes can occur suddenly and unexpectedly.
Though Saturn's influence implies stable, calm dispositions, the influence
of Uranus means they are also capable of behaving in quite unexpected
ways. It is a mistake to predict what they will do in any given situation.
They have a charming disposition,
a great love of life, and they are affectionate and social. They may
delay marriage, and once married their love attitudes have high expectations.
and eroticism. They are persuasive and eager to be liked, and they
lead a charmed life. A very close conjunction can lead to egotism,
pompous they may limit their family, but they have a fondness for
children. They are charming, gracious and easygoing. They have many
artistic talents as well as the ability to express them.
They are often argumentative and
love to play devil's advocate. They demand a lot of personal freedom,
and when they marry, that need becomes an issue if their marriage
partners are too dependent or possessive. They get restless if there
isn't enough in their immediate environment to stimulate them physically
or mentally. They are keenly interested in the future and have a great
interest in the past, but many of them somehow lose track of what's
going on in the present, and as a result, they appear out of step
with the rest of society.
They are likely to develop interest
in science, sociology, music or design. Financial theory is less interesting
than its application. Nervous conditions and stiffness or inflexibility
of the bones and joints are some common physical complaints they are
apt to experience.
Aquarians are warm and humanitarian,
and that’s why they have lot of people around them. They believe
in themselves, and follow an idealistic approach to their personal
and professional life. They are very active in the social causes,
helping, sharing and caring for others.
This Water Bearer sign loves to handle
challenges. Aquarians spend a lot of time thinking about them, and
know their qualities and skills very well. Their nature keeps on constantly
searching for something new and unique at work.
Romance
They are romantic and idealistic
and tend to put their beloved on a pedestal. However, if things don't
go as planned the consequent disillusionment gives rise to much unhappiness.
They are usually faithful and loyal, but occasionally they behave
quite opposite. When the opposite sex is concerned, they must learn
to keep a low key. Over-activity or misplaced trust can lead to a
trouble. They are advised to go slow when they are not sure; it is
better than regretting the consequences at leisure.
Aquarius has a very complicated emotional
nature; their sensuality depends totally on their own imagination.
They enjoys dreaming about something peculiar and exiting, especially
in youth. They will halo their beloved; create a mystical image in
his mind that doesn’t usually correspond to reality. In other
words, they often idealizes their soul mate, then gets disappointed
and abandons their love to become friends with their ex-lover.
Some get used to a “comparatively
happy” life, in which sentimentality doesn’t play an important
role. Others do their best to conceal vulnerable soul under a cold
appearance, may become cynic, even violent, but this is quite rare.
Love horoscope Aquarius claims that
the only trap for this sign is a craving for prestige. They are extremely
ambitious and likes “to show off”. A thought that love
can influence them as a person is an illusion. They may not
get involved, stand aside.
Aquarius always returns to his primary
affection and friendship. They never troubles their partner by hate
or anger. They wants to feel free, even more than Gemini and Libra.
Love horoscope Aquarius explains that freedom is essential in the
relationship.
Sociable Aquarius rules the House
of Friends, which means that many a courtship will begin in a group
setting. Once the Water Bearer zeroes in on a target, though, an offbeat
and zany romance is likely to ensue. Mental gymnastics are only half
the fun, since the Aquarian mind also has a great facility for creative
and imaginative play. It is safe to say that a partner who appreciates
Aquarian quirks is the best bet. Since the Water Bearer will keep
some secrets just that, a lover who can gently draw them out will
create a romance dance that goes on and on and on.
A harmonious aspect between Venus
and Moon indicates the escalation of their personal romanticism. Their
imagination is intensified now, especially, since their surroundings
provide a stimuli and small daily events that make them agreeable
and merry. In this respect, they could receive a gift, a call, have
a special meaningful encounter, or simply will observe that some of
their loved ones respond to them in a vibrant, cozy and warm way.
During the time of this aspect it
is advisable to acquire a greater vision of the positive elements
that sentimentally are forming part of their life; thus, if they give
inner thanks for the good things happening to them, it is very probable
that they are expanded and magnified.
Love and Relation
As mentioned earlier, their greatest
obstacle is their fear of rejection -- they'd rather write down their
feelings than express them face-to-face. Remember, though, Cyrano
de Bergerac was a tragedy, and unless they can overcome this fear,
so too will their love life be sad. Even when they do succeed in finding
the right mate, they must verbalize their feelings more often. They
feel their love, but they express it in other ways, such as buying
gifts. Without those key words, however, their efforts are lost.
The Water Bearer has many relationships
- the real prize, though, is in finding that perfect one. Aquarians
love to give pleasure, in keeping with their altruistic and philanthropic
spirit. They also tend to seek agreement in their friendly and harmonious
way. This is a valuable asset when it comes to relationships. A progressive
nonconformist is a blessing to the Water Bearer, and if they can give
them the space they crave, even better. The key to real passion for
Aquarians, however, is in finding out what matters to them and looking
out for their needs. Aquarians are so often busy caring for the masses
that they forget about themselves! A lover who can help the Water
Bearer get in touch with their innermost feelings and teach them to
put the analyzing aside will tap into a torrent of emotion waiting
to be released. The ideal Aquarius soul mate is an Einstein with lots
of soul.
The analytical Aquarian approaches
the game of love slowly, methodically and deliberately. Playing the
game of love is fun in and of it and should not be rushed. While falling
in love, the Water Bearer can fill myriad roles for a lover, thanks
to their keen mental energy and boundless commitment to a good cause.
Conversely, a lover who won't play along will meet an immovable object
in righteous Aquarius.
The greatest challenge in love for
the Water Bearer is intimacy, the emotional and empathetic aspect
of love. Without it, love is incomplete, so those born under this
Sign must find that space in which they feel free to feel and trust.
If that is achieved, love with Aquarius can soar to outer space.
Aquarius always returns to his primary
affection and friendship. He never troubles his partner by hate or
anger. He wants to feel free, even more than Gemini and Libra. Love
horoscope Aquarius explains that freedom is essential in the relationship.
Male
They need to be mentally intrigued
before they will make their move on a perspective mate. Mind contact
is a necessity for sexual fulfillment. They are generous, open and
sincere to those they care about. They like to get involved in their
mates' interests. They will search for answers and the truth in any
relationship. They are somewhat shy and will often wait for someone
else to make the first move. They can't live within a relationship
that is domineering or restrictive in any way. Although they appear
to be cool outwardly, they are really quite emotional and tender.
When it comes to sexual encounters they are very imaginative, however,
they also are a dreamer of erotic fantasies. They will look for a
partner who is willing to satisfy their relentless pursuit of intense
sexual experiences. They fall in love quickly but they are also hesitant
to commit completely to anyone.
Female
They have high standards and they
insist on being treated with respect. There is no way they will compromise.
They are sensitive, intellectual and they like parties and people.
They are honest, direct and will bare their soul to those they care
about. They are a very giving person, always willing to offer advice
to those in trouble; they are quite capable of doing a man's job and
seldom pick their mate based on what he can do for them. They love
to travel and must feel independent in their existence. They do require
a great deal of love and companionship; however it must be on their
terms. They are not that eager to marry and they seek intellectual
stimulation foremost.
An ideal love partner
Aquarius - Aries. This connection
will be stormy and will bring a lot of new emotions. The problems
may arise when one of them will try to make the other do something.
No one will bear the dominating role of the other. Both of them are
inventive in sex and are compatible in other spheres. A strong Aries
will become a leader. The Aries must be very tactful if he/she wants
to deal with this extremely emotional dreamer. In bedroom Aquarius,
while jealous and possessive of his/her partner, rarely overindulges
activities as he/she has far more things to do and be engrossed in;
therefore he/she is not as sexually active as Aries would like, and
Aries will come to see Aquarius as a selfish lover. It is unusual,
complete of events connection. In case of marriage a lot will be depending
on how much they love each other.
Aquarius - Taurus. Aquarius's
careless attitude toward love will baffle and finally enrage highly
passionate Taurus, who doesn't want someone just to play with. The
Aquarius is inclined to analyze everything and not very interested
in getting pleasure from making love. The Aquarius would rather prefer
to talk, but the sensual Taurus will not be satisfied with such type
of love. Taurus will seem to be too requiring for the Aquarius. These
two are stubborn in very different ways: Aquarius refuses to be conventional,
while Taurus rigidly adheres to the values of family and security.
Aquarius is interested in humane concerns; Taurus is single minded
about itself and its possessions. Aquarius puts a low emphasis on
sex and places it far down on the list of necessities. Passionate
and extremely sexual Taurus can’t understand a peculiar sex
approach of Aquarius. Taurus is not looking for a friend, but looking
for a sexual partner. Another problem is that Aquarius is too much
concerned about public life to satisfy a homebody Taurus. Constant
quarrels of these people that possess strong will and are not eager
to compromise. This attitude could cause Taurus some major upsets
as he/she will not be able to accept the problems of the whole world
sharing his/her bed, which could cause Taurus to become over demanding
in Aquarius' eyes.
Aquarius - Gemini. Aquarius may possibly put Gemini under his supervision.
There will be pleasant things in bed, but little pressure and passion.
Aquarius has influence on Gemini, who are aroused easily and change
the mind constantly. Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, is full
of surprises and sudden changes. This will suit the Gemini perfectly.
Gemini is capable to subordinate to the Aquarius' will. There will
be a lot of pleasant things in a bedroom though the lack of passions
is also possible. The changeable Gemini are easily influenced by the
Aquarius' constant pressure. They love to socialize, they have a wide
range of outside activities, and neither is particularly jealous or
proprietary. Sexual attraction with them is likely to be intense,
as Aquarius finds Gemini to be very attractive physically. This couple
will be fine bed-mates and fascinating friends. It is an interesting
connection, which may turn into a charming marriage.
Aquarius - Cancer. Fun-loving Aquarius
will be too unpredictable for a vulnerable Cancer. The Cancer is usually
more open and steady than Aquarius who inclined to find new adventures.
Aquarians love to share their life stories with the world while Cancer
is satisfied to concentrate on personal obligations Emotional Cancer
irritates Aquarius by paying too much attention to sex. Aquarius prefers
hot and fierce relation and a more careful attitude to each other.
Time will pass, Aquarius will be lacking communication and will get
tired of boring faithfulness of Cancer. Offended Cancer will
become angry and will feel himself out of place. Aquarius tends to
exempt him/herself from the emotional requirements. The eccentricity
of Uranus does not go well with the moods of Luna. Odds against this
combination are too great for this combination, unless one will become
subservient to the other. Many difficulties in relationship, a lot
of problems in marriage.
Aquarius - Leo. It may look like
a promising alliance, but the result is hard to predict. The main
problem is that Leo has a huge interest in physical side of relations,
while Aquarius is more concerned about emotional communication. Both
are independent. Aquarius will try to put an end to the leadership
of Leo. Leo can't get the cooperation or the admiration it requires,
and Aquarius resents Leo's attempt to rule. They have different views
of independence: to Aquarius it means freedom to explore new horizons;
to Leo it means pursuing a glamorous, extravagant lifestyle. Aquarius
is interested in the world; Aquarius can’t admire Leo in sex
the way he needs. Their sexual life will be unsatisfactory for Leo
as Aquarius can and will find others that capture their interests
and this will frustrate Leo, causing Leo to think that his/her mate
is inhuman and uncaring. Arousing easily, these two signs won’t
stand up to serious relation. While these two will be attracted to
one another, they are zodiac opposite, which means that it can be
bad as well as good connection.
Aquarius - Virgo. Aquarius needs
activity, social events, a wide circle of acquaintances. Virgo enjoys
a quiet existence with a few close friends. There will be neither
especially strong excitation, nor interesting erotic games. The sober,
practical Virgo is inclined to criticize the Aquarius' generosity.
Their goals are very different: Aquarius wants to be as brilliant
as possible; Virgo wants to be as efficient as possible. There is
no strong sexual attraction between them. They are more interested
in spiritual life. They will lack excitement, erotic initiative and
stimulation. Practical sensible Virgo will criticize generosity of
Aquarius. A calm romance will end quickly. A marriage is possible,
in case common interests besides sex are found.
Aquarius - Libra. Warm, sensual Libra
joins with enthusiasm in Aquarius's erotic fun and games. Also, diplomatic
Libra knows must how to get around Aquarius's quirky stubborn streak.
Libra is waiting for a support from the Aquarius in this life full
of adventures. They both like to live in a society and will participate
in public affairs. Both are sensitive sexual natures. A bent of Libra
for sex games is exactly what Aquarius needs to be stimulated to.
They fulfill each other’s dreams with pleasure. While there
are some aspects of their personalities that will irritate the other
they will find it easier than most signs to compromise. Both have
a passion for luxury, enjoy art, music and spend money easily. They
will be happy together, even without perfect sex. This is a sensual
connection and a good forecast for the conjugal relations.
Aquarius - Scorpio. Scorpio is so
jealous that Aquarius can’t simply stand that. Scorpio is aggressive
and his behavior may even be sadistic. Quite naturally, Aquarius will
start to look for happiness outside home far away from Scorpio. Liaison
and marriage won’t last long. This combination usually
ends up getting into unpleasant terms after a little time. Fueled
by Scorpio's volatility and Aquarius's imaginativeness, sex is quite
out of the ordinary. But Aquarius is turned off by Scorpio's powerful
and jealous passions, and Scorpio is upset by Aquarius's unpredictable
moods. Aquarius constantly participates in numerous public affairs.
Scorpio can't bend the Aquarius to his/ her will, because of Aquarius'
love of freedom. The Aquarius is extremely sociable. The Scorpio is
reserved. The happiness in bed will not help this couple to be happy
together. Let everyone go their own way.
Aquarius - Sagittarius. Both are
unpredictable, active and cheerful. They have a gorgeous time in bed,
as they have a lot of sexual interests, vivid imagination and plenty
of fantasies. The combination usually has a great chance for success.
These two are so innovative about lovemaking that they ought to charge
admission. In addition, they inspire each other intellectually, for
Aquarius has far-out, inventive ideas and Sagittarius is optimistic
and visionary. They both like making love. They have rich imagination
and they are full of interesting fantasies. They love to be the center
of everyone's attention. There is a very good chance for a successful
relationship. . Both like socializing, have lots of acquaintances
and are interesting people themselves and, what is the most important,
they are not jealous. Excellent partners for a short or long period
of time.
Aquarius - Capricorn. Both signs
have a strong sense of self, but Aquarius wants to be free and Capricorn
wants to dominate. They will find out soon that their romance has
turned into a friendship. it is uneasy for the Capricorn to cope with
the Aquarius in intimate affairs. The Aquarius is a inventive, free-will
person. He/she can't long be in love with the practical Capricorn.
Aquarius is continually on the go and likes to spend money. Capricorn
considers that frivolous and tries to impose strict controls. Aquarius
may go through a number of jobs, searching for the right challenges
but Capricorns' need for financial security is so strong that this
will horrify him/her. This is not a satisfactory connection, and marriage
will require efforts. Not a very compatible couple in sex. Capricorn
considers Aquarius to be cold and indifferent. Aquarius can’t
understand practical possessive Capricorn. A relationship may start,
but soon they will split up and won’t probably regret about
it.
Aquarius - Aquarius. They are
perfectly compatible with each other. This is a marvelous match.
Both of them are inventive in love; stimulate each other physically
and emotionally. They satisfy each other in sex, but there are no
deep feelings. Both are too rational, reasonable and reserved. Lots
of interests arise apart from each other. There are many personal
interests. Given, that they are unsuited physically, they will not
find this odd or a reason to allow hostilities into their relationship,
for sex does not play a big role in either ones life as they are easily
distracted by daily happenings and other peoples problems. In general
it promises to be a peasant connection and reliable marriage as a
result.
Aquarius - Pisces. The intimacy turns
out to be a fight with some elements of melodrama. Sensitive Pisces
depend on Aquarius too much and want him to demonstrate his love all
the time. As a result, Aquarius feels a lack of freedom. So these
two signs have different objectives. A relation may seem to be much
promising in the beginning, but won’t be successful anyway.
In case Pisces study the Aquarian horoscope, this may not be a bad
combination. But usually their sexual affinity turns into a war with
elements of a melodrama. The sensitive Pisces dependent on the Aquarius
too much and constantly demanding the proofs of his/her love. The
Aquarius feels depressed. The Pisces is a highly complex personality
that must be the center of attention in his/her lover’s life,
and this is disheartening to Aquarius who believes in developing individuality.
Pisces can have deep bouts of depression and if he/she perceives that
Aquarius is unsympathetic to this he/she may cut Aquarius off completely
and make his/her own private decision about their life together.
Compatibility
Aquarius is most compatible with:
Aries and Sagittarius.
Aquarius is fairly compatible with: Leo, Gemini and Libra.
Aquarius is least compatible with: Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio and
Taurus.
The good news is that finding their mate is easier when they know
who to look for, and in their case that would be Gemini or Libra.
The former loves variety and unpredictability as much as they do,
and can understand their conflicting character. The latter will be
just as physically attracted to them as they are to him or her, since
they're both blessed with great beauty and a love of it and this will
be harmonious as long as the Libran accepts their irregular need to
be alone. Secondarily, they also get along well with Leo (there is
mutual respect here) and Sagittarius (they'll bond by discussing the
finer points of life and the world's problems, long into the night,
time after time).
It's best to avoid partnerships with
Taurus (who cannot tolerate their unpredictability), Cancer (too homebound
and stable for their complex fancies), and Virgo (they cannot tolerate
their need for order).
Health
Aquarius or the eleventh - Blood
circulation, eyes and breathe.
The sign of Aquarius rules the lower
limbs and ankles. The diseases with which the Aquarian may be afflicted
are swelling of the legs, and nervous diseases of various kinds. Aquarius
likes to make up the rules as they go along. Always innovative, they're
not going to settle for anything they think is out of date. Everyone
is equal in their eyes, so when they put together a team everyone
gets a fair shot at getting the ball passed to them. The Water Bearer
is an Air Sign, so anything that mixes the two elements is liable
to be fun. Surfing, windsurfing, water-skiing and parasailing are
good examples of this. Aquarius is a Fixed Sign, so they should be
sure to stretch thoroughly before embarking on anything that might
leave them feeling sore. Aquarians love technology almost as much
as they love community.
Aquarius - fibula, bones and muscles
of the feet and teeth, tibia, ankles, astragalus.
Aquarius - Nervous diseases, spasmodic eruptions.
They are prone to leg problems and nervous system difficulties.
Career
Good career choices for they are:
Photographer, Electronics, Operator, Pilot, Writer, Teacher, Actor.
For a lone wolf, the Water Bearer
sure likes to have a lot of people around. Aquarians are humanitarians
above all else, idealistic in their beliefs and ardent pursuers of
causes. Non-profit organizations and trade unions would be a natural
for them – anything that will help the greater good. This unconventional
rebel-with-a-cause cares so deeply about his fellow men that the quest
for knowledge and answers is never-ending.
