A True Aquarian Ramble

Brace yourselves!

Because this is…

The dawning of the age of Aquarius! Age of Aquarius! Aquarius! Aquarius!

Yes, that’s right! Any child born between now and the 19th of February is going to be an Aquarian! Lucky them tbh. So to celebrate, I thought I’d do an entry about the Air sign. In some places, the month of Aquarius starts and finishes on the 20th of January and finishes on the 18th of February or 21st of January to the 19th of February. People who are born on either the 20th of January or the 21st or the 18th or 19th of February are born on the cusp. I suppose they could choose whether they wanted to be a Capricorn/Aquarius or a Aquarius/Pisces. Do you know anyone on a cusp?

Aquarians tend to be attracted to or drawn to Leo’s which is probably why I know so many We’re supposed to clash with Taureans but more on that later!

You’re the one with the torch, the light shining in the dark. The Sun is in your sign and that could explain the smile on your face – the thought of cake and presents, perhaps? The Sun is your love ruler, too. Smile more.

The eleventh sign of the zodiac is Aquarius. It is represented by the water bearer. Aquarius is the sign of the future and the water bearer reflects the idealism of the new life the future promises. Don’t expect an Aquarian to follow the crowd. They are individuals who like to do their own thing and they enjoy being different. Aquarians take pride in their intellectual independence. They can be liberal and progressive in thought, and yet still fixed in their opinion. However, they are fair judges of different opinions because they don’t let emotions get in their way.

Aquarians love more than anything to be in the company of other people. One of the friendliest signs of the zodiac, they are true “people” people. Aquarians will find their kindness helps them attract friends wherever they go. Their humanitarian beliefs make them concerned for the welfare of all. Yet, while they love people, they tend to avoid getting too deeply involved in a relationship for fear of losing their independence.

Aquarians are creative and imaginative, but better at dreaming up ideas rather than putting them into practice. They would rather spend their time thinking up new ideas than putting the ones they have already thought of into motion. They leave that job to others. Those born under the sign of Aquarius are true visionaries and leaders.

Unconventional
Aquarians relish in their unconventional ways. Their unusual thoughts lead them to think “outside of the box” and therefore, they are often seen as great thinkers. They are always looking for a new way to do something. This helps them avoid one of their greatest enemies – boredom.

The combination of their creative attributes, original thoughts, kindness, and love of people makes them perfect leaders. However, while they will take your opinion of something into consideration, you may be unlikely to change their own thoughts on the subject.

Friendly
Aquarians value friendship very much. Once you have a friendship with an Aquarian, you can expect them to be loyal. If you find yourself in a bind, ask an Aquarian friend for help. They will not hesitate to be there for you. They are the humanitarians of the zodiac and their altruistic ways naturally draw people to them.

Aquarians usually never find themselves at a loss for companionship, but because they value their independence so, they may not make the best lovers. If they feel they are trapped, they will use any excuse to break free.

Weaknesses
Aquarians can be stubborn in their opinions. They can become impatient with those who don’t see their point of view and disagree with them. They are fiercely independent and this can make them seem cold, detached, and impersonal at times. They embrace their eccentric ideas so much that they can be viewed as rebellious and unpredictable.

Parts of the Body Ruled by Aquarius
The circulatory system, shins, and ankles – Aquarians may be prone to ankle and shin strains and breaks. Because they are ruled by the circulatory system, they may also have varicose veins and hardening of the arteries due to circulatory problems.

Everything I’ve bolded sounds just like me and I’m sure other people people would agree!

Aquarians filter ideas and even feelings through their intellects rather than their emotions, and are able to offer a fresh perspective on any aspect of life. Most Aquarians love conspiracy theories, speculating as to what various people might be doing behind the scenes and how this affects large groups of people. They also tend to come up with a variety of unusual solutions to the world’s problems, which range from brilliant innovations to crackpot schemes.
Eccentric and Unpredictable

Aquarius people are highly eccentric and usually prefer the company of other eccentric types. Easily bored and often restless, Aquarians seek out people who are original, creative and exciting, and sometimes even a little dangerous or unstable, in order to obtain novel experiences and have interesting conversations.

Aquarians are unpredictable, and sometimes get a reputation for unreliability as a result. They can be quite chaotic and scattered, and often reject social conventions, though they are susceptible to modern fads. They can be wacky and absent-minded, full of brilliant ideas but prone to highly impractical behaviour.

Aquarians are good creators and inventors. Most have scientific minds, suited for physics, chemistry, technical writing, work with computers, or the writing of science or speculative fiction. They usually have an interest in outer space, the possibility of life on other planets or anything futuristic. Many also have an interest in the occult and other paranormal or unexplained phenomena.
Extroverted and Experimental

Aquarius people are experimental sensation seekers and may get into trouble as a result. They love trying new things and constantly seek out novelty and change. This is a sign in need of constant intellectual stimulation. Aquarians tend to have a wide circle of acquaintances rather than spending time with just a few close friends and family members. They usually prefer to socialize and work within diverse groups rather than alone or in simple partnerships.

Traditionally, Aquarians and Taureans aren’t supposed to get on. We clash and if you were to look at my mum and dad, you could believe it. Chris is a Taurean and we get on pretty well! We do clash sometimes but it’s because we’re different, we’re almost complete opposites. But as they say, opposites attract!

Taurus and Aquarius

The relationship between a Taurus and an Aquarius would entirely be dependent on the kind of adjustment they are ready to make. Both of them have a different approach towards life. Still, if they manage to adjust and compromise a bit, theirs would be a long-lasting union. While the Bull has a conservative approach in life and is highly stable, the Water Bearer believes in modernity and wants change and variety in life. The former is a home-bird and prefers the comforts of the indoors, the latter loves to freak out and explore the world. The stubborn Bull will also face a difficulty understanding the unpredictable side of the Water Bearer.

The difference is prevalent in the romantic sphere as well, where the two have totally contrasting qualities. A Taurean is a highly passionate lover, whereas an Aquarian has a casual attitude towards love. Security is also a concern for this love match. While the Bull needs plenty of it, the Water Bearer will hardly be able to provide it, mainly because of his loner attitude. The vivacious and friendly attitude of the latter is sure to trigger the insecurity button for the Bull. On the positive side, they share a strong determination. Once they arrive at a decision, nothing in the world can stop them from following it.

Taurus Man & Aquarius Woman
The relationship between a Taurus male and an Aquarius female would start off well, but they would face problems later on. Though they share an unwavering nature, their conflicting nature will turn the relationship sour. The differences would be too prevalent to be underplayed. An Aquarian woman is an extrovert and her gregarious nature is sure to make him feel insecure and jeaous. Her easy going nature would also conflict with his ‘live-by-rules’ attitude. Both need to adjust and work their way towards each other, to bring in compatibility.

Aquarius Personality Traits

Aquarians generally have strong and idealistic characteristics. As per the astrologists, an Aquarian can fall in either of the two personalities, one gentle and patient and the another of practical and exuberant nature. Both these Aquarius personality traits are very socializing and motivating. Most of the times, you will find them focusing on events and projects, so as to make the society a better place to live. The likes and dislikes of an Aquarius personality are very strong and firm. Here is a brief information about the personality traits of an Aquarius man and an Aquarius woman.

Personality Traits of an Aquarius Man

The personality Traits of an Aquarius man are loyal, free loving, confident and adventurous. He is considered as a people’s man; there is hardly any individual that an Aquarian does not like. An Aquarius man possesses strong visionaries and likes to persuade other people in progressive works. In fact, he is a master in making friends and motivating them to succeed in life. He may be hesitant to take the initiative role for any project; but when once he gets involved, he will remain consistent to achieve the goal till the end.

If you befriend an Aquarius man, then you are lucky to have a good person in your life. He will always be there to share your joys and worries. Nevertheless, the personality characteristics of Aquarius male are such that he is not willing to share their problems. He tends to hide his worries and solve them quietly on his own. An Aquarian male is quite stubborn in nature; very rarely he is ready accept other persons’ ideas and objectives. In the relationships, he is a considerate lover. No doubt, an Aquarius man is less expressive, but deep inside he is very emotionally attached to his partner.

Personality Traits of an Aquarius Woman

An Aquarius female is characterized by her ethnic beauty, honesty and strong will power. Similar to an Aquarius man, she tends to be independent. Give her freedom and you can succeed in winning her love. An Aquarius woman prefers to set her own rules and regulations in life. She is difficult to influence by other persons, rather than her close ones. However, an Aquarius woman gets demoralized pretty easily. If something goes wrong at the starting of any venture, she will no longer have the enthusiasm to complete the work.

For an Aquarius woman, status and position matter much more than money. If given an option, she will choose a partner with rational behavior, rather than choosing a rich person. An Aquarius woman is very loyal and open minded in a relationship. She will be a loving and faithful partner as long as she trusts her husband. However be aware; if you hurt an Aquarius woman, she will remember it throughout her life. She has the motto to forgive but not forget in life.

In a nutshell, honest, loving and intelligent Aquarians can be a good friend, lover and life-partner. Their existence will brighten your whole life.

So there you have it! Gonna keep this as a page on the side menu so people will understand us Aquarians a little more!
