Aquarius
The most friendly path toward developing and expressing your
willpower and personal drive may be that of education. As an Aquarian
Woman, you appreciate a well-developed mentality, and may feel
most confident when you are comfortable in your knowledge about a
subject or situation. However, you may have felt as a young girl that
the people who knew the most were men, and you certainly may not
have questioned whether or not a man had the right to be different.
Although you may have felt the impulse to be different, you’ve never
been entirely comfortable with the idea of alienating yourself from the
society of which you are a part. And as you’ve developed your own
individual identity, you may have sensed that becoming who you are
might not exactly fit the model your father had in mind for you. If
you’re owning your personal power, you’re confident about expressing
your uniqueness and meeting the world on your own terms. If you’ve
not yet embraced this part of yourself, you may by trying to accomplish
it through projecting these qualities upon your husband or partner. Let
him be the genius in the family! Your own genius may not fully emerge
until you’ve consciously determined that you, too, deserve to be seen
for who you really are.
Even though you may have found your differences from others painful
when you were a young girl, you’ve probably discovered that it is your
uniqueness which will provide the impetus to achieving true success.
Your Aquarius Sun adds a drive to attain a clear perception about yourself,
and your need to make a difference in the world can give you cause
to aim for something out of the ordinary. Your real goal may be to transcend
the bounds of mere mortality and achieve something that will
open a new pathway. Although this functions primarily at a spiritual
level, it does have its implications on the physical plane. In your family,
you can be the one who breaks the patterns. On the job you are the
one whose vision and insight inspire new direction. (From “Woman to

Responding to the revival of interest in pre-twentieth-century astrology, J. Lee
Lehman developed a report program embodying the interpretive approach of traditional
astrology. The following is excerpted from her book Classical Astrology for Modern
Living and her computer program “Classical Report”:
You are affable, courteous, unenvious, stubborn, merry and jocund, not
given to quarrel, or a religious or spiritual nature, sober of speech, and
strong. You can be ostentatious, but are free from maliciousness.
You are an Air Sign, which means that you are “hot” and “wet.” The
“wet” component means, among other things, that you blur distinctions,
and that you are more swayed by passion than by intellectual
argument. At your worst, you see too many connections, becoming lost
in conspiracies. At your best, you spot the connection that everyone
