Aquarius the Water Beaver
January 21st to February 19th
Aquarius is a fixed-air sign. Fixed signs are willful and are determined to maintain their positions or desires in all life situations. Aquariu as a sign of communication would like to make all of its friendships as stable and as lasting as possible. It will take a great deal of persuasion to change its opinion about anyone or anything once its mind is set.
How to recognize Aquarius
You’ll have to be constantly prepared for the unexpected with Uranians. Generally, kindly and tranquil by nature, Aquarians nevertheless enjoy defying public opinion, and they secretly delight in shocking more conventional people with occasional erratic conduct. These normally soft-spoken and courteous souls can suddenly short circuit you with the most amazing statements and actions at the most unpredictable times. Aquarians often deliberately adopt weird attire to show their refusal to conform.
You can often recognize people born under this fixed, air sign by their frequent use of the word friend. Continuous experimentation simply leaves him curious to penetrate the next mystery, and the next mystery could be you. Politics fascinate him, sports absorb him and children intrigue him. But then, so do horses, automobiles, elderly people, medical discoveries, authors, astronauts, alcoholics pianos, pinwheels, and prayers.
Freedom-loving Uranians can be acutely funny, perverse, original, conceited and independent, but they can also be diplomatic, gentle, sympathetic and timid. The Aquarian will almost desperately seek the security of crowds and saturate himself with friendship. Then he’ll fall into a gloomy morose spell of loneliness, and want to be strictly left alone. Uranus makes him a natural rebel who instinctively feels that all old customs are wrong, and that drastic alteration and revolutionary change is what the world and people need,
To this end, Aquarians are always analyzing situations, friends and strangers. It can be disturbing when they start asking pointblank questions, with a bare minimum of tact, as they probe into the heart of your private feelings.
Aquarians don’t have many intimates. They seek quantity rather than quality in their associations, and they seldom settle down to a steady relationship for more than a limited period. There’s too much to discover around the next corner to remain tied to one or two friendships exclusively.
As the Aquarian thinks, so will the world think in fifty years. This Sun sign is known as the sign of genius, and so it is, since over seventy percent of the people in the Hall of Fame are either Sun Aquarians or have Aquarian ascendants. On the other hand, a substantially high percentage of those confined in mental institutions, or who drop in for regular couch sessions with an analyst, are also Aquarians.
Uranians are a curious mixture of cold, practicality and eccentric instability, and they seem to have a instinctive empathy with the mentally disturbed. It’s a curious fact that almost any Aquarian can substantially reduce the anxiety of the insane simply by talking to them quietly.
The Aquarian outlook is so broad that you’ll seldom find one who is prejudiced, unless there are severe planetary influences in the natal chart. The brotherhood instinct is so strong in Aquarian. Ordinarily, everyone is his brother or sister. Don’t try to interrupt his solitude. When he wants to be alone, he wants to be alone. He can never renounce people for long. Ignore him and he’ll soon be walking around town.
Ordinarily, it’s difficult to get an Aquarian to make, a precise appointment. He’d rather keep it loose, because he doesn’t like to be pinned down to specific duties or obligations at specific times.
You can expect him to give his opinion frankly, but he won’t ry to dictate how you should think or how you should live your life. Conversely, he doesn’t intend to let you tell him how he should think or live his. The Aquarian philosophy is that everyone has his thing, his special yearning. Each person dances to his own fiddle music, and individuality should be respected. It’s interesting to see that, as the world moves into the Aquarian Age, the heralds of the new era are the flower people and the Gurus. In exaggerated fashion they are simply reflecting the Aquarian ideals – brotherhood – love for all – live and let live – seek the truth – experiment – and retire to meditate.
You’ll rarely find the Aquarius fighting fiercely for a cause. They live their code, and feel that’s enough. His truth-respecting mind, however, won’t budge an inch when he has a firm conviction, despite his distaste for unpleasant confrontations.
Another reason why Uranians often meet with hostile criticism is that they’re so full of surprises. They can lead you west, then suddenly turn and march east, without warning. Aquarius has an obstinate way of not letting you know what he’s up to.
Trusting people doesn’t come naturally to the Aquarian until after he’s scrutinized your motives, even your soul, if possible. Never expect the Uranian to take you at face value. His innate courtesy will never keep him from shining the Uranus spotlight on you from head to toe. He wants to know what’s behind that face, and he’ll ask some mighty embarrassing questions to find out. But it’s comforting to know that once you’re accepted he’ll be loyal and his friendship will be unshaken by malicious gossip.
Uranus illnesses are usually connected with the circulatory system. Aquarians shiver and shake in the winter, and suffer with the humidity in the summer. They’re susceptible to varicose veins and hardening of the arteries at old age. Uranians need lots of fresh air, sleep and exercise, but they seldom take advantage of these remedies. They don’t get much fresh air because they close their windows, pile on the blankets and still complain that they’re freezing. Uranus mental activity keeps them from getting enough sleep, and often the rest they do get is troubled by strange dreams.
Aquarians don’t have the best memories in the world, but then they really don’t need to memorize much, since they seem to pick up knowledge out of thin air, with some kind of invisible antennae. The typical Aquarius Is the embodiment of the legendary absent-minded professor.
The Uranus power of concentration can be awesome. Yet, they’re also able to pick up things going on around and behind them when they choose, like a radar screen.
What the Aquarius man or woman thinks is always a clue to tomorrow. The uncanny Uranus ability to plunge into the unknown and absorb mystical secrets without half trying, leads to a peculiar sort of intuition which gives them a high degree of psychic precognition. Almost every Aquarian has a unique kind of sensitivity that lets him know your inner desires.
He’s completely open minded about world progress, but his mind clamps shut when it involves his personal behavior, which can be unexpectedly conservative. You can see that his liberalism has its boundaries.
Aquarians despise lying and cheating, and they avoid borrowing and lending. Aquarians get credit for being idealists, perhaps too much credit, for true idealism consists of blind faith and optimism, and the Uranian is too shrewd to fool himself with lost causes for long.
His mind and body must both be as free as the wind. To try to pin down the Aquarian is to try to stabilize the butterfly.
Aquarian belongs to mankind. He represents it truest hopes and its deepest ideals.
The Aquarius Man
Don’t expect an Aquarian male to behave the way people in love are supposed to behave. If you do, you’re in for quite a jolt, maybe even a series of jolts. When it comes to friendship, he’s all you could ask for in a pal or a confidant. Love? It’s something else.
It’s when he acts as though he doesn’t like you that he’s close to being hooked, and the reason is elementary – simple logic. The Aquarian water bearer likes everybody. Everyone is his friend. He’ll even refer to his worst enemy as “my friend.” So it means something when he says he doesn’st like someone. Just what it means may take some study.
An Aquarian man doesn’t want to reveal his true feelings in spite of his favorite pastime of penetrating the feelings of others. His own reactions and motives are complex and he intends to keep them that way for the pure pleasure of fooling you. Until you get him to the altar, you’re just another experience, another experiment, hard as it is to take.
He’s a group man, and teamwork comes naturally to him. Aquarius undrstands the fair play rules of sports as if he had invented them, and he carries these rules into his personal relationships. His interest are scattered all over the place. That’s because his love of people is so impersonal; he gives a certain value to everyone he meets, while the rest of us save such efforts for only the very special people in our lives. To an Aquarian, everyone is special. Even those he hasn’t met yet. Few Uranus men are either selfish or petty.
He responds to unusually high ideals, thanks to his rigid moral code (though you’d better understand that it’s his own code, which may not necessarily reflect or correspond to the one accepted by society in general). He’ll almost surely lead a life of change, controversy and unexpected events. Yet there will often be moments of perfect tranquility with him, impossible to find with any other Sun sign.
When he senses something is hidden, he just won’t sleep at night until he’s unraveled the mystery and penetrated the veil.
The girl who wants to land him eventually has first to intrigue him. An open book will never pique his curiosity. He’s attracted to close pages, the more tightly closed, the better to arouse his detective instinct. When a female either ignores him or keeps her own counsel, in the beginning at least, his eyes will open a little wider and he’ll get an alert expression, amazingly like that of a bloodhound on the scent of something missing.
Aquarian male can be touchingly gentle and docile, but you’d better tie a bright blue electric string around your finger to remind you that his surface calmness is a mirage. He won’t tolerate an ounce of opportunism from a female. If he thinks he’s being exploited, that unpredictable Uranian charm can vanish so quickly. He admires a woman who holds her ground, if she’s not too masculine about it, and if she lets him fly hither and yon, unencumbered by mushy promises and tearful accusations.
He’s not the type to woo you with extravagant gestures. Aquarians don’t take to marriage like a baby takes to candy. To be truthful, most of them avoid it as long as it’s humanly possible. They choose a girl who’s also a chum, and who can keep up with the Aquarian interests, including Mickey Mantle’s batting average, crossword puzzles, Arabian horses, fireflies on the Mississippi and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Why? That’s easy. With so much to talk about, there’s less time for lovemaking, which can get him seriously involved and committed. His ideal is the female who is his friend, and who doesn’t make heavy emotional demands on him. Where do we go from here? Nowhere, usually.
Aquarian men find it difficult to relax in physical expressions of love. Even after he’s mustered the courage to say “I love you,” he’ll avoid the issue of marriage with every excuse in the book.
In the early stages, you may think he needs a lesson and decide to let him think he’s lost you to a more aggressive suitor. Let me warn you that you’re likely to stay lost. Your broken hearted Uranian is not nearly as apt to come charging after you with the fire of possession in his eye as he is to shed a couple of quiet tears and say, “Well, I guess the best man won.”
Jealousy is not his cup of eggnog. He’ll trust you until you show him you can’t be trusted. He will rarely, if ever, be physically unfaithful himself, mostly because the whole subject of sex, though it’s interesting, doesn’t consume him.
Should a temptation to engage in illicit romance arise (illicit in his eyes, that is), he’ll usually end the affair abruptly, though it may hurt him deeply, rather than continue what he considers to be a dishonest relationship.
He’s capable of waiting until he’s ninety to claim you. He’s in the driver’s seat, so there’s not a lot you can do – except perhaps think up another mystery to tempt him with, or maybe shake him a little with some smashing success to make him curious to talk with you again – like being the first woman to orbit Venus.
Uranus man can be pretty stubborn when it comes to love. He’s fixity in affectionate matters can drive you straight into the booby hatch or drive you to someone else in desperation.
Thanks to the everlasting Uranus proclivity for friendship, whenever and wherever he finds it, there may be times when you won’t know where he is, even after you’re married and you should. Just tell yourself that, no matter how late he sits up with a friend, it’s only his normal curiosity at work, his never-ending interest in people. If the friend is a woman, pretend you didn’t notice. In all honesty, he most likely didn’t.
Don’t be hurt when he’s in one of his solitary moods and prefers to be alone with his silent dreams. He’ll return to share them with you, all the more warm and tender for his spiritual retreat and anything that warms him up should definitely be encouraged.
He may not be the best breadwinner around, but he’s capable of inventing something beneficial to the world or being the first man to land on Mars.
He married you for several reasons, though romance may play its part, the most important reason was to have you around – so, he would always have someone to mash his baked potato, cross-stich his buttonholes, find his lost articles and operate on an occasional splinter. His idea of a good wife and mother is quite simple; a woman who keeps at it almost constantly.
Strangely, since he’s so realistic about most things, the Aquarian will never forget his first love. An Aquarian can usually describe his first love in detail, which can be annoying to a wife.
The Aquarius Woman
The safest way to enter into romance with an Aquarian female is to remember she’s as paradoxical in love as she is in everything else.
The girl has all the faithfulness of the fixed signs when she’s in love, but she also has the detachment and lack of emotion of the air element. It’s possible to have a happy relationship with the Uranus woman if you leave her free to pursue her myriad interests and circulate among her friends. Never try to tie her to the stove or to the bedpost. She dreams different dreams than you. She hears a distant drummer and follows a star most of us have never seen.
She belongs to everyone and yet to no one. Her love can be tender and inspired, but there will always be a vaguely elusive quality about it. The Aquarian girl’s demand for freedom is insistent, but her allegiance to anyone who can accept romance within such limits is boundless. Money is never the prime consideration of the typical Aquarian woman. She won’t care if you’re not the richest man in town, but she’ll expect you to be respected in some way for your intellectual achievements.
Passion is not her forte if she’s a typical Aquarian. She’ll think physical love is pleasant enough, if it’s not overemphasized. In other words, she can take it or leave it alone. Like all Aquarians she may have an unconscious fear that desire for one person will imprison the spirit in some way, and keep her from being true to her one great love – freedom. Freedom to experiment and investigate and freedom to give time to humanity. Also freedom to pursue her rather kinky, off-beat fancies.
She’s an ideal girl if you’re planning a political, scientific or educational career. She’s graceful, witty, bright as a penny, and extremely adaptable to all forms of society, high and low and in the middle.
Her lack of suspicion under normal circumstances is a special bonus. Uranus woman will never check up on you after you leave, phone you at the office, inspect your handkerchiefs for lipstick stains or look for blonde hairs caught in your cufflink. Out of sight can often mean out of mind for Aquarians of both sexes. Absence seldom makes the Uranus heart grow fonder. It never embarrasses an Aquarian girl to be chummy with ex-lovers or husbands. She’s forgotten the past and wiped the slate clean of memories.
Like the Uranus man, the Uranian female will remember the first true and honest love for a lifetime. Only the first however.
Uranus women involved in extra-marital affairs are rare. They can be tempted in exceptional situations, but a dishonest relationship goes against their chemistry. Yet there are many Aquarian divorcees. There’s a reason. If a situation becomes intolerable, the Uranian nature turns cold suddenly. They can disappear overnight, and never look back.
Expect her to probe into your heart until you haven’t a secret left, or a dream that hasn’t been analyzed. But don’t try to dissect her private thoughts. That’s not the way the game is played with Aquarians.
Her appearance is puzzling. Most Aquarian women are lovely, with a haunting, wistful beauty. But they’re changeable. Nest to Librans, Aquarian females are often the most beautiful women in the zodiac. At the very least, they’re interesting-looking.
Your Aquarian girl will probably have an unusual way of wearing her hair. Her hair won’t look like the hair of any other female on this planet.
Never talk down to an Aquarian female. She’ll resent not being considered your equal, and an unsympathetic attitude will cause her to retreat and become unapproachable
The typical Aquarian mother is devoted to her offspring, but also somewhat detached toward them.
She’s in no hurry to take your name until she’s weighed you, sorted you, tested you, and found out what makes you tick. The opinions of her friends and family will mean nothing, though she may ask them what they think out of curiosity. She had her own yardstick for measuring. You. Once they find the right mate their marriages are usually models of happiness.
But don’t distract her with too much togetherness. Let her wander through her wonderland alone when she chooses and she’ll never question your pinochle games with the boys.
The quickest ways to lose her is to show jealousy, possessiveness or prejudice; to be critical, stuffy or ultra-conservative.
She’s susceptible to sudden flashes of inspiration, and her intuition is remarkable. Her judgment may not seem sound or practical at first, because she sees months and years ahead. The Aquarian girl lives in tomorrow, and you can only visit there through her. What she says will come true, perhaps after many delays and troubles, but it will come true.
