Aquarius : Origin - Representation
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
Boy, is this one confusing. You'd think a sign with the word aqua in it would be a water sign. Nope. Or that its planetary ruler is, say, Neptune. Wrong again. Aquarius is an air sign, yet water plays a significant part in it. It's even symbolized by a young boy pouring water on the earth. Even that part is odd, considering that the later signs are thought to represent the later stages in life, with such virtues as wisdom, peacefulness, and humanity. So why a young boy?
Well, in Greek mythology this young boy was Ganymede, a mortal so handsome he was chosen by the gods to be their cup-bearer, and so ascended to the heavens. He represents the sheer physical beauty of Aquarians-Librans are attractive, but Aquarians are stunning.
As for the water confusion, the most logical explanation is that during this mid-winter time of year, the northern hemisphere actually thaws from its snows. The sign's symbol, which shows two squiggly parallel lines, serves two purposes: its waves indicate the importance of water to the sign, but also wisdom. They were originally drawn as two serpents, one good and one evil; natives of this sign are therefore believed to know the difference well.
Aquarius' planetary ruler is actually a combination of Saturn and Uranus. The two together form a curious duality: Saturn's influence can be seen in an Aquarian's cool level-headedness, while Uranus' pull is in the need to be unique, modern, and unconventional.
hmmm...i'm stunning! haha~, don't think i'm cool level-headed more likely is hot headed!! =PAquarius 2007 Horoscope
Aquarius 2007 - Astrology Forecast
This year is favourable for Aquarians as they could reorganise their love life, structure their emotional and professional partnerships on stronger, more authentic grounds. 2006 has shown them what was wrong, but confused them without offering clear solutions. This year you find solutions, mediations and compensations, but only after many analysis processes for which a series of measures must be taken. These measures must be mostly based on arguments rather than on feelings.
Concerning your job, you will be appreciated for all your hard work and commitment. However, your earnings will continue to be stable, there will be no sign of growth whatsoever. Also, changes are to be avoided as you tend to take impulsive decisions that may not be as beneficial as you expect, thus creating some problems at your workplace.
I had to admit 2006 isn't the best year of my love life. This year (hopefully) is much better compare to last year. And as for work, the forecast is right on target! There's no way i'll get a pay raise fr ArchiCentre.Aquarius: Love and Relationships
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
As mentioned earlier, your greatest obstacle is your fear of rejection-you'd rather write down your feelings than express them face to face. Remember, though, Cyra.no de Bergerac was a tragedy, and unless you can overcome this fear, so too will your love life be sad. Even when you do succeed in finding the right mate, you must verbalize your feelings more often. You feel your love, but you express it in other ways, such as buying gifts. Without those key words, however, your efforts are lost.
The good news is that finding your mate is easier when you know who to look for, and in your case that would be Gemini or Libra. The former loves variety and unpredictability as much as you do, and can understand your conflicting character. The latter will be just as physically attracted to you as you are to him or her, since you're both blessed with great beauty and a love of it, and this will be harmonious as long as the Libran accepts your irregular need to be alone. Secondarily, you also get along well with Leo (there is mutual respect here) and Sagittarius (you'll bond by discussing the finer points of life and the world's problems, long into the night, time after time).
It's best to avoid partnerships with Taurus (who cannot tolerate your unpredictability), Cancer (too homebound and stable for your complex fancies), and Virgo (you cannot tolerate their need for order).
Hmmm...my bf would be happy with first part of this phrase 'The latter will be just as physically attracted to you as you are to him or her, since you're both blessed with great beauty and a love of it, and this will be harmonious as long as the Libran accepts your irregular need to be alone.' but i'm sure he's ok with the second part..hahaha~Aquarius: Financial Profile - Occupations
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
You are blessed with a logical, scientific mind, and this alone suits you to innumerable careers in the high-tech industries. If every computer company declared that each employee could get their birthday off, they would literally lose half their staff in February. Since these jobs are generally secure and pay well, and since you love this kind of logic-based work, you'll enjoy success on all levels here.
Your other great talent is for social work. A great many activists, teachers, and politicians are Aquarians, and although these positions may not pay as well as the technical jobs, to an idealist like you they are perhaps the most satisfying pursuit you could choose in life. You want to make a difference in the world, not get rich. In fact, no one irks you more than the person who simply chooses a career for the money.
What you're not great at is anything that is vague or negotiable, such as sales or dealmaking. You need the solidity of machines and logic, or the nobility of truth and mankind's welfare, to satisfy you.
As mentioned earlier, many of the world's great writers are Aquarians, because they understood that they could show their true feelings on paper much more easily than in person. This list includes Charles Dickens (also a great social humanitarian), Somerset Maugham, Francis Bacon, Charles Darwin, Lewis Carroll, Sinclair Lewis, James Joyce, Tennessee Ernie Ford, science fiction master Jules Verne, and the poets Robert Burns and Lord Byron.
Am i in the wrong line then?? Aquarius: Positive Qualities
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
You are the world's humanitiarians. You love people passionately, in large numbers. For this reason, you're always involved in areas where you can make a difference for the betterment of humankind. Local politics, especially, is where you feel you can make the most difference, and where you feel the problems are most real.
When you're not acting for social change, you're often discussing it. As an air sign, you are a person of great ideas, an idealist and a bit of a dreamer, and you love to engage people in your vision of an ideal society. As a thinker, you're quite logical, so your arguments are always compelling and believable. Combined with your humanitarian zeal, this makes you a popular choice for political or social leadership.
And once you decide what's right, you stick to it. You hate compromise. Unlike Sagittarians, however, whose pride will not allow them to give in to a more logical argument, you will admit you're wrong if someone else's argument is stronger. But you'll immediately turn it around and adopt it as part of your own agenda.
As a sign of the people, you refuse to be placed on a higher level than your friends, even though you may deserve it. You distrust and dislike hierarchies-you're a true democrat-so inequities of class and race fuel your ardor all the more.
Despite your social passions, you're actually very solitary and independent more than people realize. (Another aspect of the two serpents in your sign, which represent good and evil, is a coexistence of other opposities: sociability and aloofness, selflessness and independence, politeness and rudeness. Some astrologers even believe the sign itself is comprised of complete opposites: those people who are the best in the world, and those who are the worst.) In any case, you've learned several tricks to maintain your independence when you need to: you let the answering machine pick up the phone at home, or you're conveniently absent or late for appointments. Essentially, you make a point to interact with people when you choose to, not vice-versa. This is not a negative trait, if s just you being true to yourself first and foremost.
I'm pretty sure most of above is kinda right. What do u guys think eh??Aquarius: Trouble Areas
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
The later zodiac signs are considered emotionally unstable, progressively more so in the sequence. You are known for being very touchy, especially when criticized. You have a thin skin- you're extremely sensitive to comments from people, and easily hurt.
You're also known for your fear of rejection. Quite often, you find it easier to explain yourself-or even ask for a date-on paper, where you can pour out your soul freely, and not be present for the potentially negative blow. This trait alone has led many Aquarians to blossom into passionate writers and poets. Much like the often misunderstood Virgo, your true self shines through on paper, revealing a sensitive, passionate soul that surprises those who only know your cool, independent public persona.
All of this emotional sensitivity, though, has its downside. If you can't accept criticism, you can't improve flaws in your character. Similarly, if you can't face rejection, you're not likely to survive and prosper in the real world.
Some of the criticism you've heard is probably oriented toward your curt, sometimes rude social manners. This is not because you mean to be offensive, it's just that you find formalities a bit hypocritical and elitist. You're a person of the people, after all, and you know your own mind, and you speak what's on it. Those little things don't feel right to you, so you ignore them. Of course, the problem is, you (and perhaps Sagittarius) are the only one who does, and this directness is not appreciated by most. No doubt you've experienced a few resulting social episodes by now.
yes...i'm very touchy and also rejection..but who doesn't even a tiny bit?? okok fine.. i'm extremely touchyAquarius: Physical Qualities and Activities
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
Aquarians are far and away the most physically attractive sign in the zodiac, especially around the eyes, because the sign rules that area (as well as the lower legs). Just as the boy in the hieroglyph is beautiful because of a few soft feminine features, so too is each Aquarian blessed with androgynous good looks: men will have a feminine feature or two, women a masculine few. Most Aquarians have angular faces, not round, and slight builds. Each step is rather light, and the independent streak shows in how an Aquarian manages to avoid bumping into people.
The list of beautiful female Aquarians, then, is quite long: Jeanne Moreau, Tallulah Bankhead, Mia Farrow, Kim Novak, Vanessa Redgrave, Princess Caroline, Geena Davis, Nastassia Kinski, Katherine Ross, Suzanne Pleshette, Princess Stephanie, Christie Brinkley, Barbara Hershey, Lana Turner, Tina Louise, Jane Seymour, Cybil Shepherd, and Vanna White.
Handsome male Aquarians include Clark Gable, James Dean, Charles Lindbergh, Placido Domingo, Rutger Hauer, Humphrey Bogart, Neil Diamond, Paul Newman, Wayne Gretsky, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Tom Selleck, John Forsythe, Tom Brokaw, Nick Nolte, Robert Wagner, Burt Reynolds, Matt Dillon, and John Travolta.
As an Aquarian, you're not much into sports, although you do enjoy being part of a team. This manifests itself in an interest in being on social committees or in charity groups. You're also interested in scientific pursuits, so you're happy to spend your time building a ham radio, or going to an aeronautics museum, or reading science fiction.
I'm suppose to be hot then eh? how come i don't think i am?? Aquarius: Preferences
Aquarius zodiacal signs explained
You're the sign that likes the odd colors, such as orange or metallic blue or anything provocative or a little unusual. You have the avant-garde instinct—it's the influence of Uranus—so you don't mind if your clothes are considered weird, though most of the time you assert your style and independence subtly, with just an accent here or there to throw people off, or an ordinary suit of an odd color.
Your home is likely to feature modern designs— those metallic glass tables, perhaps, or lots of black-faced compact technology. You prefer the overall space to feel more horizontal than vertical (this fits your hatred of social hierarchies).
As an air sign, like Gemini and Libra, you're not much interested in food. You could easily spend an entire meal talking, then find that you haven't eaten a bite when everyone else is done. But as with your choice of colors, you'll go for the unusual morsel, that strange orangeish vegetable or gourd, say, before anyone else does. Your idea of fun is to get a group of people together and try a new exotic restaurant—a Moroccan feast or an Indonesian barbecue, for instance. This combines your love of people with the unusual.
First and second paragraph is dead on...I like odd colours! And i'm planning to buy a pc that is sleek pure white or black or other striking colours. Haha~~ but the second part is totally off!! i love food!! all kinds of foods!!!(Isabella: Astrology & Palmistry)
