Aquarius About Your Self... |
Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities.
They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle
and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist,
sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character
under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and
forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions,
though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually
honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held,
if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have
been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse
factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument
without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently
they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view.
This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even
if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation
to "Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes,"
and are prepared to learn from everyone.
Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined,
sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality
is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active
and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves
with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.
They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical.
Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so
that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated
by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience
a great spiritual awakening. The Aquarian philosophical and
spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects
into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions
that bear little relevance to life. On the other hand it can
help the many who have scientific leanings to combine these
with the Aquarian yearning for the universal recognition of
the brotherhood of man, and to embark on scientific research
to fulfill their philanthropic ideals of benefiting mankind.
When some cause or work of this nature inspires them, they are
capable of such devotion to it that they may drive themselves
to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health.
Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become
temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation
or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they
are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They
dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended,
and will accept it only on their own terms. Normally they have
good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the
arts, especially drama.
In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open
personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their
desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily.
They sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too little
trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly
appeal to them. They do not give themselves easily - perhaps
their judgment of human nature is too good for that - and are
sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone
is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost
hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will
themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice
everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life.
However, they are sometimes disappointed emotionally because
their own high personal ideals cause them to demand more of
others than is reasonable. And if they are deceived their anger
is terrible. If disillusioned, they do not forgive.
Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are
recognized as having a leading part in them. They have a feeling
of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that
makes them admirable scientists, especially astronomers and
natural historians. They may excel in photography, radiography,
electronics - anything connected with the electrical and radio
industries - aviation and everything technical. On the arts
and humanities side their progressive tendencies can be expressed
in writing, especially poetry, and broadcasting, or as welfare
workers and teachers. Some have gifts as entertainers and make
good character actors (having an ability to mimic) and musicians.
The more psychic among them possess healing gifts, especially
in curing the mentally sick.
Among the faults to which they are liable are fanatical eccentricity,
wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to
retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely
dogmatic in their opinions. Aquarians can be a threat to all
they survey or a great boon for humanity in general. Circumstances
- for example, continuous opposition to a cause they hold dear
- may cause the atrophy of the openness of mind that is one
of the Aquarian's most attractive traits. They may express a
lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning.
Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse, a tense,
threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions
of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative side of
the Aquarian. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred
for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy
toward the whole of mankind.

Possible Health Concerns... |
As Aquarius is said to govern the legs from knees to ankles
and the circulation of blood, its natives are susceptible to
ailments particularly in the legs and ankles, such as cramps,
and are also liable to spasmodic and nervous complaints, as
well as wind, catarrh, diarrhea, dropsy, goiter and delirium
tremens - so that the avoidance of alcohol is important

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities.
When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and
assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics.
As an Aquarius you may see things below that really strike home.
Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results.
If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below,
it is because you are failing to express the positive.
Problem : Being left all alone while others enjoy the
companionship you long for.
Solution : You should practice expressing your humanity
by accepting people the way they are and not find too much fault
in them.
Problem : You always seem to miss the boat when it comes
to love.
Solution : Try letting down the mental guard that you
keep on your emotions that stops you from being the self you
long to be.
Problem : You always seem to miss out on the better jobs
or big promotions at work.
Solution : Learn to use your positive side in teamwork
and group effort, the lone wolf approach will get you nowhere.
Problem : You seem to become physically ill more than
you should.
Solution : By repressing your emotions you drive the
unrest deep inside where it can cost you in terms of health.
Express your feelings but do it with tact.
