More Astrology Traits and Personality of Aquarius

Trendsetters of the Future: 

Special note for Aquarians: At the Dawn of the Age of Aquarius, at this time, ready or not, your sign is regarded as the zodiac's leader. You are the trendsetter for the future and because of this high responsibility, many born under your sign will be undergoing at this time, the pressure of personal change (particularly in your values and what makes you content and happy). Yours has always been a philanthropic sign. Now more than ever these qualities will be highlighted.

Intellectual and Innovative:

Those born under the sign of Aquarius not only march to a different drummer, they make up new music as they go along. They are 'mind oriented' individuals who relate on an intellectual level and their outlook is much more innovative and experimental than traditional. Because of their high focus on intellectual exploration, many inventors, eccentrics and highly original trailblazers are born under this sign. Their intense ability to live on many mental levels, holds both pain and pleasure for Aquarians. For example, in the American Hall of Fame there are more Aquarians than any other sign, yet statistics reveal that in mental institutions there are more Aquarians than any other sign too. Many extremes can surround this sign and these extremes can take them to both heaven and hell. 

Humanitarian and Objective: 

But in everyday terms, most Aquarians are extremely humanitarian and often involved in social programs that assist others. They can also be objective in judgement, for they never let their emotions get in the way. Outgoing and amiable, Aquarians attract friends wherever they go and those whom Aquarians befriend have their unswerving loyalty. 

Socially aware:

Aquarians are the zodiac's most mysterious and unusual people - and no two are anything alike. Those born under this sign - ruled by innovative and non-conformist Uranus - march to the beat of their own drum. They see life in a different way. Others quite frequently think their habits and ideas are eccentric or crazy in some way, but it is this uniqueness that makes them so special. The Aquarian mind is extremely quick and they never seem to stop thinking (it is interesting to note that many born under this sign suffer from insomnia.) Aquarians usually have strong political, environmental or social beliefs. But whether it is a relationship, career or cause - Aquarians are happiest when they have "something" to believe in and nurture.

Aquarius - The Water Bearer - 2018

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS

Your partnerships are going through a big evolution this year, as four change-making eclipses touch down on the Leo/Aquarius axis. Your personal needs and your approach to relationships are getting an overhaul. That could bring anything from a sudden split to a quickie engagement to improved dynamics with your longtime love. Balancing “me” and “we” is the greater goal of these eclipses—and always the holy grail for your independent but people-loving sign.

MONEY & CAREER

Cheers to your success, Aquarius! Expansive Jupiter is soaring through the top of your chart until November, bringing fresh possibilities to your tenth house of career and ambition. This could be one of your luckiest years in over a decade to take a calculated professional risk. You might settle into a steady gig, get promoted through the ranks or take an important new job that requires relocation or travel.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Need a nap? Structured Saturn is spending the next three years in your restful and healing twelfth house. Pushing yourself past the point of burnout will take its toll. You’ll need to nip any people-pleasing habits in the bud and learn to say “no.” Prioritize self-care and create a simple, soul-sustaining routine by rising, going to bed and eating at the same general times each day. If you work in a wellness or healing profession, Saturn can bring a boon for your career. Mid-July, a solar eclipse in your sixth house of health and fitness could give you a motivating push to change your lifestyle.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Home is where your stuff is…and that’s a mantra your nomadic sign can get behind. Changemaker Uranus, your ruling planet, will start an eight-year visit to your domestic fourth house this May. Between now and 2026, you may move several times, buy a home or expand your family. Your relationship with your mother, a child or a female relative may go through a lot of shifts with Uranus in your feminine fourth house. Meantime, Jupiter in your tenth house of fathers and men could strengthen your relationship with a male relative. Fascinating new friendships crop up at the end of the year, once Jupiter swings into your social eleventh house for 13 months.
