 The
Sun shone in Aquarius, a masculine sign
in the zodiac on your birthday. The Sun
in astrology stands for our inner nature,
or character. The eleventh sign of the
Zodiac, Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, is
ruled by serious Saturn and outrageous
Uranus. What an alarming mixture! A fixed
(strong and solid) sign, Aquarius governs
intellect and originality. It is an Air
sign, which means Aquarians are intelligent,
unorthodox and inventive, although you
do tend to be eerily detached and personally
uninvolved.
The Sun, ruler of our inner nature, is
in the sign of its detriment here, for
Saturn, the ruler of the outer darkness,
is enthroned in Aquarius. The erratic
energy of Uranus, planet of the unorthodox
and eclectic, makes you unpredictable
and subject to profound and unexpected
deviations from the norm. Yet, due to
the restrictive influence of Saturn, you
exhibit considerable personal stability
and work well within a structured environment.
These apparently contradictory influences
work strangely well together in your Aquarian
personality. When friends see you suddenly
change course, or do something unpredictable,
they probably do not realise you are acting
on some quite practical, or advantageous
course of considered action.
The astrological emblem for Aquarius
is a man pouring water, the collective
consciousness of mankind. As an idealist,
you champion the highest principles, while
at the same time being an independent
thinker.
Determined Aquarius, a fixed sign, can
be rather stubborn, offhand and resistant
to imposed changes. You accept the substantial
alterations in life as a challenge, but
are quite averse to those small changes
which can throw a spanner in the works.
When confronted with unreasonable authoritarian
demands or dogmatic principles to which
you do not subscribe, you rebel. You certainly
resent being told what to do, although
you can be quite co-operative when properly
approached. Aquarians are naturally sceptical;
they like to test things for themselves,
but, once convinced, become firm in their
determination to see things through. Anyone
who wants to get on side with you needs
to see what must be done and share the
load without being asked.
You are somewhat prone to immersing yourself
in unorthodox fields of study and can
make significant discoveries off the beaten
track. Astrology could become a passionate
concern for you, as may other investigations
of the limits of consciousness and human
abilities. A lover of science and originality,
you treasure the unique while immersing
yourself in the traditional. You readily
adopt lifestyles and ideas that run counter
to the mainstream and you try to visualize
any situation objectively, as a kind of
mental exercise. In relationships, your
intellectual approach makes you seem interested,
but not particularly passionate or possessive.
Of course you do not really lack passion,
for when you focus your feelings, your
passion is as intense as it is inspirational.
Most of you are less than fabulous cooks,
although you'll eat just about anything!
So far as sports are concerned, my dears,
as long as you can participate in such
activities with a partner, or as part
of a team, you can get quite enthusiastic
about it, so have little trouble keeping
physically fit. You do have a tendency
to laziness, however, so are reluctant
to engage in any boring series of exercises
on your own. Broad jumping, camping, ballooning,
tennis, swimming, racquetball and baseball
are cool for you. Science and engineering,
international finance, writing, music,
astrology, psychology or social work are
all fields wherein you could find your
niche.
Aquarius rules shins, ankles, and the
circulatory system, while cramps, allergies,
sudden illness and freak accidents are
common for those with Aquarius active
in their charts. You may also suffer from
various nervous disorders.
Aquarian colours are
silver, aqua, purple and electric pink
and blue. Your birthstone is amethyst,
the healing gemstone, which restores and
maintains mental equilibrium. Flowers
for Aquarians include the gladioli, tiger
lily, trillium and bird of paradise.
