Aquarius & Love

You’re not one to settle down for some time. You love being independent and free, and you don’t want to tie yourself down right away. Once you do tie yourself to someone, you’re surprisingly loyal and won’t stray.

You usually want to be friends with someone before you date them so you can spend time getting to know them on a mental level. Having a mental connection is the most important thing for you. Without that, you get bored and walk away.

You’ll need to force yourself to find an emotional connection with someone, because a mental one alone isn’t enough and won’t sustain you forever. They need to share some of the same causes that you do, and care just as much about helping the world as you do.

You need someone who’s intellectually stimulating, a fellow philanthropist, and has some fire in them to bring the passion. Your cool, aloof exterior can attract many people to you, but you can lack in the passion department, so it’s helpful if they can bring it into the relationship.

The signs that you tend to be the most compatible with are usually in the same element as yours, which are Gemini and Libra. Both signs will provide the mental stimulation that you’re looking for.

Gemini will help further your curiosity, and Libra will help cultivate your artistic sense. Gemini will show you an emotional side, and Libra will be romantic. It’s not hard for you to mesh with either of these signs.

The sign that is opposing yours in the zodiac tends to be the ones you have the most sparks with, and for you, that’s Leo. Their desperation for attention is something you don’t understand, their fiery nature goes against your cool one, and you wish they weren’t so dramatic, but you can’t help but be drawn to them somehow, and you can be an interesting pairing of fire and ice.

Aquarius & Money & Career

When it comes to money, you usually don’t care much about it. You only see it as something that you need to be able to do certain things, but rarely aspire to have a ton of money.

You have other aspirations, dreams that you want to achieve, and if you need money to attain them then you’ll find the money for it, and if you get rich from it, that’s fine with you, but it’s not the reason you have these dreams in the first place.

Often, when you do have money, you don’t have it for every long, and you give away a lot of it to charity, friends and family who need assistance, or to pursue some other new dream.

You tend to keep it simple, and don’t care much for going out shopping every day, but you do prefer quality items, so when you do spend money, it’s only on the best.

When it comes to your profession, you’re an inventive, innovative person who’s always coming up with a new idea, new solution, and don’t want to do things the way they’ve always been done. For that reason, you make good inventors and entrepreneurs, and many of you may find it difficult to work for someone else because you don’t want to be put in a box.

Working for yourself just makes sense because you can do things your own eccentric way. Given your penchant for science, you can work as a scientist, physicist, or in research. Since you’re so open to everyone, you can make a good civic leader, humanitarian, or social worker, or lead a new movement.

You can also work with the latest technology, developing and trying to come up with the next big thing, or work with the internet. Some other Aquarius professions are: astronaut, astrologer, electrical engineer, psychologist, teacher, politician.

Aquarius & Health

Aquarius rules the lower legs, so you can experience issues with your calves, shins, and ankles. You may suffer cramps or spasms in that area, or have poor circulation to your lower legs, resulting in spider or varicose veins. Do what you can to increase the blood flow to your legs, and stretch your legs adequately before you exercise so you don’t pull any muscles.

Aquarius General

Aquarius, you’re the eleventh sign in the Zodiac, and known as the humanitarian. You care about helping the world as a whole, and pursue causes that are grand and will tackle a larger issue. You want to help save the world from itself.

With your innovative mind, you come up with solutions to problems that are radically different from anything that’s been done before, and you can use this in your personal life as well as when you’re trying to further a cause.

Your mind is sharp and quick, always coming up with new ideas, and you think big when it comes to the future. The future is always a concern of yours, and you’re constantly thinking about what will come. This makes it hard for you to live in the moment or deal with the past though. You have to wrangle your mind enough to be in the present or to work out old issues.

You’re someone who believes passionately in being who you are, and you won’t apologize for that. You may seem odd or strange to people, but you don’t care. You do things your own way, and if that’s different from everyone else, so be it.

You’d rather be you than put yourself in a box. Whenever anyone tries to put you in a box, you rebel against them in a major way. It’s an insult to you that they would do that. There are times when being conventional is the only or best option though, and you need to be open to that as well, otherwise you just hold yourself back for no good reason.

Being such an intellectual sign, you can have a hard time processing your emotions, and you detach yourself from them rather than deal with them. This makes it hard for you to connect with other people below the surface. Try to see embracing your feelings as a learning experience. It’s one that you need to have. Once you can get in touch with your feelings, you’ll be an inspiring person.

You can feel like you’re an outsider at times, different from everybody else. You’re your own person, and you may have a sense of pride at how different you are, though it may be a response to feeling like you don’t fit in. You can be emotionally detached if you refuse to let yourself feel “bad” emotions, and care too much about being superior. You’re independent and don’t feel you have to rely on anybody, but you need to learn to let other people in, or you’ll be seen as unfeeling. In relationships, some may find you too distant, while others will enjoy the freedom you give people to just be themselves. If someone gives you the space you require, then you can be faithful and reliable, and you’re generally better at friendships than romantic relationships.
