Aquarius

On January 20, 2012 – the Sun moved into the sign of Aquarius. As one of my favorite astrologers Roy Alexander once said - "Sagittarius is about enjoying oneself within the system. Capricorn is about using the system as a personal power base. In contrast, Aquarius is concerned with improving the system, perhaps even destroying it if it has become too rigid." - this proves to be true since Aquarius is the innovator of the zodiac. He/she is also a social worker, philanthropist and a humanitarian all in one.

Aquarius - the Water Bearer is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac and it rules the eleventh House. The eleventh House represents friendships, connections, organizations, gifts and hopes. It is an air sign and a fixed sign. Air represents thinking and an analytical mind and a fixed sign just means that it is a sign that is "within" the season (winter in this case). Fixed signs have often strong opinions and firm dislikes.

Aquarius - independent, assertive, progressive, unattached, analytical and inventive - the one who refuses to follow the crowds and likes to be different. To some they appear as eccentric. Aquarians like and want to believe that everyone is equal. They are socially conscious, liberal, great friends yet detached. They tend to have lots of acquaintances but few close friends. They enjoy being with people and are also content to be alone. They enjoy travelling but are also happy at home.

Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus. This is a planet of change and innovation, one that brings rapid and sudden changes. Well that is what it is all about. Moving forward and "rocking the boat" is the soul food of people born under this sign.

Happy Birthday to all my Aquarius friends.
