Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)
How this brilliance manifests in their day-to-day is what often gets in the way of Aquarian well-being. As the average person born under this sign, is not average at all, their very presence in a group situation can be a real pain in the deree.
If the clan sees the solution to the problem of roofing the new school as a simple shingle job, a few hundred nails and a carpenter or two, the Aquarian in the clan will just about never see it their way.
He or she will want first to cantilever the roof, then put in a triangular window with panes of different colors which send light into the school auditorium so the little children will notice the effect of light and color on their moods as they day passes.
The Aquarian's proposal is, of course, a fantastic idea. Creative and clever and sooo esthetically pleasing. But it's also expensive and impractical. The roofing committee boos and hisses the Aquarian out of the room and calls in a carpenter with a few hundred nails and some shingles to roof the school.
Aquarians who evolve without too much resistance from parents and teachers and other possible repressive elements in their youth, usually grow up to be very successful and remarkably stable people. But when a gifted young Aquarian is thwarted and scolded for being so individualistic, he or she can be turn out to be very crazy indeed.
All Aquarians must to be recognized first as individuals and secondly (if at all) as part of a family or club or ethnicity or religious sect etc. Aquarians are natural exiles. Their freedom is of primary importance to them. They might have to be excluded in order to gain their sovereignty, but for most Aquarians autonomy comes first.
Love, for Aquarians, begins with loving his or her fellow man. Aquarians not only care about the welfare of the planet, they aim to Do something about it. Aquarians usually have bezillions of friends and as many acquaintances all around the world with whom they stay in touch by every means possible from space travel to ham radio to the Internet or satellite phone. Aquarians Love everybody.
If you fall in love with an Aquarian, make sure that you have your own head screwed on really tight before entering any permanent form of bond with him. This person cares more about his personal "selfhood" than he ever can about the collective couple or family unit you may wish to create.
He or she can be a superlative sexual partner, an imaginative suitor and/or a remarkable seductress. But don't wait around for your Aquarius spouse to join in banal country club functions or participate in joyful family reunions. Just go ahead and live your life and act pleased when he or she shows up - or doesn't.
Scorpio is exciting but risky for the unsuspecting Aquarius. Scorpio goes for the soul of a love partner and Aquarians don't give up their souls without a fight. Cancer is too needy and moody for this airy freedom-craving person to tolerate for long. The best possible mates for Aquarians are Leos (their opposite) and well, beyond that, they can mate with just about anybody who can put up with their obsession with being "different".
Professionally, Aquarians can do anything except routine jobs. An Aquarian must be creatively challenged. He or she can excel as a journalist, photographer, research scientist, financial wizard, master plumber, entrepeneur, ballet dancer or opera star. Aquarians should choose careers where genius is applauded and singularity of point of view is appreciated. Wherever the Aquarian feels misunderstood, he flees.
