LIFE QUEST:

Aquarius people are quick to adopt labour-saving devices and often develop the technical expertise to design these. Occasionally the electrical charge around them may be too much for the machines however and they may acquire a reputation for breaking computers etc. Theirs is not one of the more emotional signs of the Zodiac and indeed, there are times when their detachment from emotional issues can lead them behaving insensitively or even cruelly. They tend to be political in their thinking and are driven by humanitarianism. They think quickly and abruptly change subject when they feel they have grasped all that they need to know.

They take delight in specialising in unusual subjects and their hobbies can be a source of fascination to others. They enjoy the concept of surprise but have a preference for surprising others rather than been surprised themselves.

USEFUL NOTES:

Aquarius is the last of the Air signs of the Zodiac. It is also the only one of the these signs to belong to the Fixed group. Aquarians derive satisfaction from thinking differently to others. It is a complement to them to be described as eccentric and deviant - although they may deny this! They love to be contradictory. Idiosyncrasies may be developed as a way of stating that they are different. Yet Aquarians long for everyone to be treated as equal. They will do all that they can to preserve the rights of each individual. This can give rise to difficulties. In arriving at a consensus within a group it is easy to over-ride the wishes of one person. The Aquarian, of course, enjoys being the exception to any role but may be intolerant of others who behave this way. Aquarians think futuristically and can be defiant and rebellious in justifying a decision or course of action. They have a tendency to inconsistency and others may find them disruptive. Yet they are excellent at absorbing information and quick to arrive at insight. Conclusions reached can be astounding and border on the genius. Aquarians need to feel appreciated for this uniqueness and may become bad-tempered and outspoken if ignored. They also, as one of the Fixed signs, need to know where they stand. They may advocate change but dislike change that is thrust upon them. At such times they become tense, defiant and difficult.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Those born under Aquarius enjoy the dialogue offered by Gemini and Libra and are amused by the antics of Sagittarius and Aries.
