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.
