So, here are some things I like about Aquarians:

OBJECTIVITY & PERSPECTIVE

My father has this as his moon sign. My mother, a very emotional woman with strong watery placements in Cancer, says in his favour: ask him, he will give you an objective answer.

So that is something good about Aquarians. They will give you an objective viewpoint, and sometimes that is very helpful and just what you need. If you are like me and get wound up by your own strong feelings, a bit of cool analysis can help put things in perspective.

HUMANITARIANISM

Aquarius carries water, but it isn't a water sign. It handles emotion, it doesn't get involved in it. That doesn't mean it is unfeeling. It is just carrying out an important duty.

If you have ever studied Ethics academically you will know how much that involves dissecting words, phrases, meaning, and being as objective as possible. The end result should be a compassionate theory without contradiction or prejudice.

INDIVIDUALITY & INDEPENDENT THOUGHT

We can all think of an instance in history where independent thought has done for someone. Also, where the lack of it has lead to many more people meeting an untimely end. Making up your own mind is rarely a bad thing, and let's face it, there are plenty of things in the world that need challenging. One thing the Aquarian spirit is good at, is standing up from out of the crowd.

And one thing that Linda said in her book is very true of Aquas...if you're "the one" (the first one they really fall in love with/connect with, no one else will ever quite fill your shoes for them)

My best bud says: you are the first girl I ever took home and you'll be the last.

{That's a compliment, Aqua style.}

I have an 11th house Sun opposite Uranus, Aquarian MC and North Node in Aqua. I even have an Aquarian boyfriend

I quite enjoy their nonconforming ways of life and their strong sense of individuality and their love of freedom.

They are the folks who keep the world and society from being a cookie cutter/carbon copy versions of each other! They are the fresh breath of change that folks need - they inspire us to live life as ourselves and be who we are - maybe that's the Aries in me coming out...

I have a few close friends who are Aquarians and I've had them for a while - loyal and objective friends and I have a lot of fun with them.

They always make me smile even when i'm grouchy.

Who can forget Will Wright, this aqua created Maxis and the Sims series.

I love talking to Aquas. They have lovely open minds, and a fearlessness about going to the unknown. Just my type of people.

Long ago, I had a couple of Aqua boyfriends….. Oddly enough both of them were named Dave.
Dave The First was about 10 years older than I – he had black hair down to his waist and drove a refurbished mail-truck, which I thought was fabulously quirky I loved it that he lived alone in his own house (no annoying roomates!!). Even better, he had played guitar with a very famous rock band before they got famous. In a mind-boggling astro twist, he (the Aqua) wanted to settle down with me (the Libran) but I wasn’t ready for a one-on-one Forever Love Match, so we went our separate ways….. wish I had his birthdate so I could look at synastry, that was before I got into astrology.

Dave The Second was a happy-go-lucky party-animal and woodworker who never thought about tomorrow, which after awhile, became inconvenient shall we say, as I was working full-time by then. His Venus was on my Vertex, and his Uranus conjunct my Eros/Juno conjunction – he had Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Chiron in Aqua.

My third favorite Aquaman is the boss I’ve had for 13 years now. Technically he’s in sales, but he’s a Mechanical Engineer by trade. Politically conservative, frighteningly intelligent and well-read, and infuriatingly down-to-earth, except for those times when he plops down in my office and sighs, “Zala, I want to take Kirby (his golden retriever) out on the sailboat and pretend there are no other humans on Earth.” His pride and joy is the Cessna he got a few years ago, which his wife not-so-fondly dubbed “The Mistress” since he’s always out at the airfield messing around with her

Dave The Second and BossMan were born a year apart, but have the same Aqua planetary lineup, except BossMan has Venus in Pisces…..

I pal around with an Aqua gal at work – we gravitated to each other because we love to use words like alacrity, defenestrate, paucity and petulant in sentences and pig out on Chinese food at lunchtime
