Sun in Aquarius
Aquarius is a fixed
air sign. His key
words are "I know."
He rules the ankles
and circulatory
system. He's
associated with
friendship, group
activities, and at
his highest level,
the brotherhood of
man, symbolized by
the water bearer
spilling out life
force and spiritual
energy.
Like
all air signs,
Aquarius faces life
through his
intellect, but
through his Uranian
rulership ideas come
to him in moments of
inspiration that
appear like a
lightning flash.
He's a mental
pioneer, who's
individualistic,
creative, and
inventive. His
interests lie in
anything new,
different, and out
of the
ordinary--whether
it's people, places,
or ideas. He
doesn't care about
the past or
tradition. Aquarius
believes in breaking
down boundaries and
moving into new
territory.
Aquarius is
friendly and
outgoing. He enjoys
meeting people and
easily fits into new
social surroundings.
He values friendship
and exchange of
ideas with a wide
variety of people.
He has many
friends--and he
counts acquaintances
as friends--for his
different
interests. He
accepts people for
the way they are,
and the more unusual
they are, the better
he likes them. But
he has two
prejudices. He can't
stand stupid people,
which he
differentiates from
unlearned; and he
can't stand
conservatives.
Yet
Aquarius himself is
hard to get to
know. He relates to
people through his
intellect, not
through his
feelings, which he
has trouble
admitting he has.
(Everyone has a
Moon.) He views the
world from a
detached perspective
that borders on
coldness and can't
understand when
others don't do the
same. As long as
he's being honest,
he doesn't think his
behavior should
upset anyone.
A
female Aquarius,
upon asking her
lover to move out of
their apartment,
couldn't understand
why he was upset
when she started
seeing other men
before he had left.
She had been honest
with him; what more
did he want? He,
being a Taurus, had
a very different
perspective.
It's
easier for Aquarius
to have
relationships with
groups of people
than to relate to
one person. In love
affairs, as in the
rest of his life, he
does not want to be
fenced in. His
freedom means more
to him than any
person, and a
lasting relationship
must be based upon
freedom of choice
and separate
identities.
Also,
Aquarius will not
give up his friends,
including those of
the opposite sex,
for a lover. As an
air sign, he does
not see sex as a
primary concern; but
he does believe sex
to be a natural
extension of
friendship, so
lovers can become
friends; friends can
become lovers with
or without a
romantic
attachment.
Aquarius' liberal
ideas make him
appear open minded
and easy going, but
he's a fixed sign
who's stubborn about
his ideas and his
belief system. On
one hand, Aquarius
is a humanitarian.
He swears by freedom
and individual
liberty for all. On
the other hand, once
he adopts a belief
system, he's so
convinced of its
truth that he wants
everyone else to
believe it too. His
loyalties to his
group, where he
usually can be found
in a leadership
position, can be so
strong that he
dismisses all those
who disagree with
its philosophy, all
the while preaching
freedom of thought
and liberty. He may
love mankind, but he
has difficulties
with individuals.
