About Aquarius
Aquarius is the eleventh Sign of the Zodiac, and Aquarians are the
perfect representatives for the Age of Aquarius. Those born under
this Sign have the social conscience needed to carry us into the
new millennium. These folks are humanitarian, philanthropic and
keenly interested in making the world a better place. Along those
lines, they'd like to make the world work better, which is why they
focus much of their energy on our social institutions and how they
work (or don't work). Aquarians are visionaries, progressive souls
who love to spend time thinking about how things can be better.
They are also quick to engage others in this process, which is why
they have so many friends and acquaintances. Making the world a
better place is a collaborative effort for Aquarians.
The Sign of Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer. In much
the same way that the Water Bearer brings that precious liquid as
a gift, Aquarians shower the world with their thoughts and new ideas.
Luckily for Aquarians (and the rest of us), they are at a near-genius
level, so their minds churn out some amazing things. Their thought
process is also inventive and original. While Aquarians are happy
to bestow these ideas as a gift with no strings attached, they are
much happier when the rest of the world agrees with them. Naysayers
will quickly find out that Aquarians can be impatient, even temperamental,
with those who disagree. Yes, these folks can be quite fixed in
their opinions, in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this
Sign. Even though Aquarians are happy to give, and they do, it's
often on their terms and within their comfort level. Generally,
that means ample space, since these folks are freedom-loving and
individualistic and need to roam (and yes, they do enjoy travel).
While Aquarians are generally sympathetic and compassionate, they
like it when things go their own quirky way. Some might call their
behavior eccentric (and they would be right), but when you consider
that the Aquarian's heart is truly in the right place, a few oddities
should be overlooked. In their own way, Aquarians treasure their
many friends and acquaintances and want to give back as much as
they can.
Aquarius is ruled by the Planets Saturn and Uranus. Powerful Saturn
was considered the father of many gods in ancient Roman times, and
was the original ruler of Aquarius. Uranus is the oldest of the
gods in Roman mythology; this Planet was discovered much later than
Saturn and was only more recently assigned to this Sign. 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. 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. Thanks to a
genius which borders on insanity (!), those born under this Sign
have the unique ability to present ideas which will revolutionize
the world. Their approach in doing so may be unpredictable, impersonal
and at times cold, but that's a mad scientist for you!
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
believe 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.
At play, Aquarians like to surround themselves with lots of people,
preferably family and friends. That said, if they don't know the
'players,' they soon will! Baseball and tennis are fun for these
folks (though they should be wary of weak ankles), although a spirited
match of water polo would also be nice. It's watery colors which
Aquarians favor, a shiny silver or an aqua blue. When it comes to
love, Aquarians will also be playful, even flirtatious. While they
play for keeps, it won't necessarily feel that way, since these
folks are the antithesis of jealous.
The great strengths of the Aquarius-born are their vision, intellect
and humanity. They are determined to make the world a better place
and to help everyone they can along the way. They are truly the
trailblazers of the Zodiac.
