AQUARIUS
January 20 - February 18

Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy. Since the planet Uranus rules Aquarius, friendship and companionship are extremely important to Aquarians. Those whom Aquarians befriend have their unswerving loyalty.

Born under a fixed sign, Aquarians have eccentric temperaments and are determined and stubborn. They sometimes feel that those who are listening to them are unreceptive and incapable of comprehending their ideas, and they tend to become annoyed when people fail to understand them. Then Aquarians argue, and when they do, they stir up opposition from others. They are capable of discarding these people from their intellectual circle.

The key phrase for Aquarians is "I know."

Aquarians operate as equals among equals. However, they are not dependent on their environments for their security, because they derive this from being in the company of others. The eleventh sign of the zodiac, shows us true individualists. Aquarians are usually glamorous, always friendly, but they are private people who tend to surround themselves with an air of mystery. This is in defense of a specific lifestyle that can lead to conflict when the question arises of deepening an emotional relationship.

Aquarians won't be bullied or driven by anyone; they cherish their freedom and independence almost as much as a Sagittarian. They are a progressive thinker and a humanitarian with a good streak of originality. They are usually very determined, quiet, patient and easy to meet. Even so, they are cautious, probably intelligent, thoughtful, studious and philosophical. They tend to view the world with a detached attitude and an unconventional air. Since Aquarians have friends of both sexes, they see no reason for giving them up, even after marriage.

Because Aquarius is an intellectual air sign, those born under it relate to others on a mental level. The Aquarians' appearance of calmness is deceptive; their anxiety can even make them feel ill. Since they take their work very seriously, nervousness and apprehension seldom leave them. They do their best work with others or with organizations that attempt to bring about some ideal. Their interest in and sympathy for human problems win the respect and confidence of those about them. Their sympathy is impersonal and their response intellectual, but once aroused, Aquarians are tireless workers.
