Aquarius<br />

pletely misguided, but I will share it any way as an example of one<br />

astrologer’s attempt to understand how Aquarius affects us.<br />

I see Aquarius as <strong>the</strong> sign of networking people and ideas. Aquarius<br />

relates ideas of different people to each o<strong>the</strong>r. Aquarians are social animals<br />

that typically prefer living in an urban area ra<strong>the</strong>r than a rural<br />

area because <strong>the</strong>y prefer having access to <strong>the</strong> greater number of ideas<br />

and group activities. A person with strong Aquarian emphasis can find<br />

fulfillment in a rural setting too. Church clubs, school activities and<br />

community affairs are important in rural areas, but often Aquarius<br />

enjoys <strong>the</strong> greater number of options in an urban setting.<br />

The Aquarian inclination to network people toge<strong>the</strong>r gives it access to<br />

many points of view and very often more ideas and information than<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs have. As a consequence, Aquarius does tend to have a liberal<br />

and progressive view, but Aquarius also dearly wants to preserve <strong>the</strong><br />

organizations ra<strong>the</strong>r than tear <strong>the</strong>m down. Aquarius joins groups, and<br />

very often participates as an employee of a large corporation. Aquarians<br />

very often like to think of <strong>the</strong>mselves as great innovators, inventors,<br />

or eccentrics because <strong>the</strong>y are not provincial in perspective. They<br />

are cosmopolitan and enthusiastic about modern progressive advancements.<br />

They do not cling to <strong>the</strong> past and <strong>the</strong>y do not fear progress,<br />

partly because <strong>the</strong>y are better acquainted with <strong>the</strong> progressive developments<br />

generated by corporations and universities, and partly because<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are not sentimental or deeply emotional so <strong>the</strong> replacement of traditional<br />

methods with new ones is not offensive. However, Aquarius is<br />

a fixed sign, and like all fixed signs it is steady and consistent and not<br />

unstable and erratic like Uranus. Aquarius preserves <strong>the</strong> group activities<br />

and works to enhance and grow organizations, clubs, corporations,<br />

and groups because it needs <strong>the</strong>m and values <strong>the</strong>m. Aquarians may like<br />

to think of <strong>the</strong>mselves as progressive, but <strong>the</strong>y do not want to radically<br />

disturb <strong>the</strong> status quo; <strong>the</strong>y want to preserve it. (Courtesy of Cosmic<br />

Many specialized report programs have been developed that offer useful supplements<br />

to <strong>the</strong> generic delineations of general reports. The following sun-sign interpretation<br />

has been drawn from a program written by Gloria Star (originally part of her<br />

<strong>book</strong>, Astrology: Woman to Woman), that generates a specialized report for women:<br />

With your Sun in Aquarius you are a woman whose spirit forges into<br />

<strong>the</strong> realm of <strong>the</strong> unusual. As an individual you are unique, and you may<br />

pride yourself on <strong>the</strong> things that make you different from everyone else.<br />

But you also have a strong desire to connect to those who are like<br />

minded, and may count your friends as your most significant blessings.<br />

Since your Sun speaks of “who you think you are,” you need to realize<br />

that your powerful mind, which can be strongly focused, is your link to<br />

your future, and that you are <strong>the</strong> creator of that future.<br />
