Aquarius

What Aquarius is like

Aquarius is the sign of the independent mind. Original and principled, an Aquarius is interested in how things could work better, for everyone and not only for themselves.

They value their freedom and their friendships highly. They can seem detached, but often it is simply that they think first and feel second.

Aquarius in love

Friendship is the base Aquarius needs in love. They want a partner who respects their independence and enjoys their ideas.

Emotional intensity can make them step back. Staying in a feeling a little longer, before turning it into a theory, is often what helps.

Aquarius at work

New ideas and a willingness to question how things have always been done are what Aquarius brings to work. They thrive in teams with a shared purpose and in roles that leave room for invention.

Rigid hierarchies and rules that exist only through habit frustrate them. They tend to change the system rather than accept it.

How Aquarius decides

Aquarius decides on principle and from a distance, looking at the whole picture. They are not easily swayed by what others expect.

The risk is reasoning past their own feelings. Letting themselves want something, rather than only thinking it through, often clarifies the choice.

What Aquarius often brings to a reading

Aquarians often come to a reading feeling out of step: with family, with a group, with the life they are expected to want. Many are looking for where they belong without giving up who they are.
