AQUARIUS

Aquarius is one of the oldest zodiac constellations and is Latin for “water-carrier” or “cup-carrier”. Beta Aquarii is the brightest star in the constellation and can be found in what is known as the “Sea”. Greek mythology claims that Eos, the goddess of the dawn, kidnapped Ganymede, the most beautiful mortal to ever exist. He must have been extremely good-looking because Zeus then stole him from Eos to be his own personal water-bearer at Mount Olympus. One would think that Aquarius would be a water sign, but no, it is an air sign.

Aquarians definitely have a mind of their own. Not only do you march to your own beat, but you are also continually changing it. You don’t care what others think, you are always searching out new and exciting things; boredom is your enemy. You are quirky and weird, a visionary existing within the intensity of your mind, more of a fantasy than a reality. Constantly in search of rational knowledge, you brush aside emotions as easily as a grizzly bear wading through the brush. You occasionally wonder why you can’t be normal, and the reason why is because you hate normalcy—if everyone grew their hair long, you would shave your head bald.

An Aquarian is a great humanitarian and has a deep affection for the welfare of mankind and the world. However, because you have grandiose ideas and schemes on how to improve many problems, you are somehow allergic to doing the actual work to make them a success. You prefer others to grapple with the realities of your concepts. You may become a martyr while fighting for freedom because ideally, you are searching for a utopia.

Because Aquarians are good at earning money, you may tend to think that money doesn’t matter, it just comes and goes. You would sooner make an investment in a relationship that deposit money in a savings account or the stock market. You are also more concerned about the use of money, especially since it can be used for good or evil. Just because you roll into the office barefoot on a skateboard, doesn’t mean that you are not a good worker, on the contrary, being successful means a lot to you. Since you are good with numbers, being an accountant or bank manager could be an ideal career. However, if things are not going well for humanity where you reside, perhaps join a march for freedom—you would profit well from rioting and looting.

Although Aquarians tend to inflate their own egos and profess to be experts on any subjects, they are not liars. You do not entirely live in the current world and have your own set of logic about the universe, which is mainly the universe that dwells inside your own mind. You may feel alienated and invisible at times even though you thrive being with a group of people.

When it comes to friendship, years may pass by and those closest to an Aquarian may feel that they don’t really know you. You tend not to tell them anything about yourself, instead when asked, change the subject to a world event or an impending disaster. You show more understanding to a stranger rather than to someone you know well. If a friend is having a crisis and needs your help, you are not the one to turn to. However, saying that, a beggar may ask you for some aid and you’ll give them the shirt off your back. Afraid of being considered airy-fairy, especially since you take everything personally, when you become angered you would most likely lash out in a sarcastic manner, rather than slap someone across the face. One thing for sure, even though your feelings may have been hurt and you get emotional, you are more apt to tell them that you were offended straight to their face rather than giving them the cold shoulder.

Love to an Aquarian is mainly something they’ve read about in books. When you look at the opposite sex, instead of your blood beginning to boil lustily, you want to know what makes them tick. Not so much about when they were a kid or any emotional feelings but facts and opinions, this is what excites you. You need to be accepted for your oddities and tend to lean towards those that will give you space, not cling to you like a second skin. When it comes to sex, you want to feel the reality of it, rather than what you read in a textbook. You already know about the necessity to reproduce, it’s the colliding of two bodies you want to feel right down to your core. For a lifelong satisfying mate, it would be best to wed a Sagittarius, another Aquarius or Aries. You’d have more luck as an unarmed gladiator facing a hungry lion than hooking up with a Taurus, Virgo or Scorpio.

The thing that everyone should know about an Aquarian, is that they are the friendliest, honest and most easygoing people in the world.
