AQUARIUS (Water Carrier)

How to define a person’s character from the planetary positions

Above is a summary of the characteristics attributed those born under the period of time when the Sun is in the section of the zodiacal sky known as ...Aquarius. To understand a person’s character a start has to be made somewhere. The easiest way is to divide the possibilities into smaller subdivisions. In Astrology this is determined by dividing the time the Earth takes to go around the Sun (a year) into twelve parts - these are the groups we call sunsigns.

Over the years the 12 sunsign divisions have gained, what appears to be, a precise edge to the group divisions. Above you will see that I start with a specific date ... (20 January) and finish with a specific date ...... (18 February), but the reality is not so clearly defined. The average time taken for the Sun to be seen in the same part of the sky from one time to the next, is known as 1 year, but it is only that, an average time. The rest of the planets can have an effect on the movement of the Earth, slowing it down or speeding it up, ever so slightly, and this can result in a slight variation in the overall time taken to reach the same point - as much as 1 day, possibly even 2 days, earlier or later than the average time of 1 year. If you were born within two days of the Sun changing sign, it is important for you to ascertain precisely which sign you were born in, and for that it is important for the astrologer to know the year in which you were born. For the those born on days within the rest of the sunsign period the interpretation should apply, as long as there aren’t any other strong influences interfering with your expression through your sunsign.

For most of you, Aquarius is the sign which instils an importance on the need for friendship and companionship. Those befriended by Aquarians will have unswerving loyalty.

For most of you, Aquarius is the sign which instils an importance on the need for friendship and companionship. Those befriended by Aquarians will have unswerving loyalty. Being born under a fixed sign, Aquarians will tend to have slightly eccentric temperaments and can be determined, even stubborn. They may not believe that those who supposed to be listening to them are really doing so, and may feel people are being unreceptive and incapable of understanding Aquarians’ ideas. This can make Aquarians very annoyed and they will start to argue, stirring up opposition from those around them.

Aquarians do not like spurious imitation or any form of hypocrisy and have little affectation or snobbery in their own personalities. To them, everyone is equal and should be treated as such. They are rarely lonely. Their sign’s group instinct will guide them to where people are, or attract people to them. Aquarians have friends of both sexes, and see no need to give them up after marriage. Because Aquarius is an air sign they tend to relate to people more on a mental level which is an easier form of relationship to maintain. Their interest in, and sympathy for, human problems means they usually gain the respect of those about them. Although the sympathy may seem to be impersonal and the response they make may be of an intellectual form, once aroused Aquarians are tireless workers.

Whilst Aquarians love the beauties of nature, they prefer to admire them in comfort. Although they may long for material possessions Aquarians are not by nature greedy people. As their pursuits are more intellectual that physical they tend not to become involved with sports, preferring to be spectators.

Charm and a bright expression make Aquarians very attractive, but their calm expression can be deceptive - so much so that anxiety has been known to make them ill. They work best with others, or within organisations which have some sort of ideal. It is through these outlets that the Aquarian’s excellent memory, creativity. knowledge, love of freedom, and humanitarianism show the best results.
