Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities.
They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist,
sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful
in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough
to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken.
They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying
as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can
see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation to "Be open
to truth, from whatever source it comes," and are prepared to learn from everyone. Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes
ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering
without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor. They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are
strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated
by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening. The Aquarian philosophical and
spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions
that bear little relevance to life. On the other hand it can help the many who have scientific leanings to combine these with
the Aquarian yearning for the universal recognition of the brotherhood of man, and to embark on scientific research to fulfill
their philanthropic ideals of benefiting mankind. When some cause or work of this nature inspires them, they are capable of
such devotion to it that they may drive themselves to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health. Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary
loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they are fiercely
independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept
it only on their own terms. Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially
drama.
In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of
their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. They sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too
little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to them. They do not give themselves
easily - perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that - and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide
that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on
them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful
to them for life. However, they are sometimes disappointed emotionally because their own high personal ideals cause them to
demand more of others than is reasonable. And if they are deceived their anger is terrible. If disillusioned, they do not
forgive.
Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are recognized as having a leading part in them. They have a feeling
of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that makes them admirable scientists, especially astronomers and
natural historians. They may excel in photography, radiography, electronics - anything connected with the electrical and radio
industries - aviation and everything technical. On the arts and humanities side their progressive tendencies can be expressed
in writing, especially poetry, and broadcasting, or as welfare workers and teachers. Some have gifts as entertainers and make
good character actors (having an ability to mimic) and musicians. The more psychic among them possess healing gifts, especially
in curing the mentally sick.
Among the faults to which they are liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination
to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in their opinions. Aquarians can be a threat to
all they survey or a great boon for humanity in general. Circumstances - for example, continuous opposition to a cause they
hold dear - may cause the atrophy of the openness of mind that is one of the Aquarian's most attractive traits. They may
express a lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning. Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse,
a tense, threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative
side of the Aquarian. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into
a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind. Possible
Health Concerns... As Aquarius is said to govern the legs from knees to ankles and the circulation of blood, its natives are
susceptible to ailments particularly in the legs and ankles, such as cramps, and are also liable to spasmodic and nervous
complaints, as well as wind, catarrh, diarrhea, dropsy, goiter and delirium tremens - so that the avoidance of alcohol is
important for those Aquarians who have a taste for it. horoscopes * LIKES - Fighting for Causes
