Horoscopes - Aquarius

79293273_491616df59_m In this eleventh of a 12 part series on horoscopes, we're going to look at the second of what are called the winter signs, Aquarius the Water Bearer.

People who are born between January 21 and February 19 are Aquarians. Their element is Air, their quality is Fixed, their energy is Yang, their rulers are Uranus and Saturn, their color is Violet, their gem is Amethyst, their main anatomical parts are the ankles and circulation, their keywords are humanitarian, unique and revolutionary, their Tarot suit is Swords and their Tarot Major Arcana card is The Star.

Some famous celebrities who are Aquarians are Christini Ricci, Heather Graham, Edward Burns, Oprah Winfrey, Chris Rock, Mozart, Virginia Woolf and Paul Newman.

There's an old joke about Aquarians that goes like this. "How many Aquarians does it take to screw in a light bulb?" The answer is, "One and she has to use the latest technology to do it".

Yes, it isn't enough for an Aquarian to just get the job done. It must be done with style. If you're going to write a letter to somebody, the stationary must be the most fancy that can be found and the pen has to be custom made. The common things that most people use are just not good enough for a person born under this sign. Only the best will do.

The Aquarian is the crazy inventor herself. They are also quite eccentric. They are fascinated by anything out of the ordinary. It doesn't even matter how practical or impractical it is. If it's unique, they have to have it or at least take a look at it. Aquarians are the trendsetters of the zodiac. They will try something before most people even know it exists.

The Aquarian is also very much ahead of her time. They often will speak to others as if it's a tedious process because the rest of mankind is so dimwitted in comparison. Sometimes Aquarians feel like they are visiting Earth from another planet and that they don't even belong here. They often feel quite out of place and at odds with the rest of the world.

If you want to receive love from an Aquarian then you have to understand their need for their independence and not feel threatened by it. If the Aquarian finds the right partner, they can be very devoted to this person and very true. Aquarius is a fixed sign, so they are resistant to change. Therefore, once they find somebody who they are comfortable with, no easy feet, they are quite likely to stay with this person for the rest of their lives. The trouble with the Aquarian when it comes to love is that they will sometimes sacrifice their personal relationships to pursue what they consider to be the greater good.

At work, the Aquarian is clever and original. They usually excel at anything they do. Plus, they are also very creative. Because of how diverse they are, they can do just about anything from the arts to science to finance. They are also very good at humanitarian pursuits. Oprah Winfrey is a perfect example of this trait. At their jobs, Aquarians will always try to come up with innovative ways to do things.

The Aquarian is without a doubt one of the most interested and unusual signs. They may seem a little odd to us normal people, but once we get to know them we discover just how truly amazing they really are.
