Water Bearer (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians are original thinkers, often eccentric, who prize individuality and
freedom above all else. The tribal mentality goes against their grain. They chafe
at the restrictions placed upon them by society and seek to follow their own
paths.

Aquarius is the sign of true genius because these people generally have the
ability to think in unique ways. Once they make up their minds about
something, nothing can convince them to change what they believe. This
stubbornness is a double-edged sword; it can sustain them or destroy them.
When the stubbornness manifests in small rebellions against the structures of
society, energy is wasted that could be put to better use.

Even though compassion is a hallmark of this sun sign, Aquarians usually don't
become emotionally involved with the causes they promote. Their compassion,
while genuine, rises from the intellect rather than from the heart. The Uranian
influence confers a fascination with a broad spectrum of intellectual interests.

The typical Aquarian is usually tall and slender with a complexion that is lighter
than his or her ethnic group. With Uranus ruling this sign, Aquarians have a
sensitive nervous system and can be easily excitable. They should guard against
exhausting their energy reserves; their minds are incessantly busy.
