Aquarians are one of the most enigmatic signs of the zodiac with the result that very few people will ever understand their motives, their nature or needs. In many ways, they are a law unto themselves and, though they can be very friendly, they don't like to become too deeply entangled with other people, even those who are close to them. In the workplace, they also need their independence and feel very comfortable when they can keep their distance from others. They also like to identify themselves with the progressive aims of the community and they have an impulse for reform and establishment of human rights, on a social, not individual basis. They can sometimes be loners and they treasure their freedom far too much to be willing to surrender their independence to anyone. They will often surprise people by doing the unusual or unexpected, revelling in the unpredictable nature of Aquarius.

Throughout their destiny, they will have many sudden and unexpected changes and situations that develop in their life and you can be assured they will always make their own success, whatever they choose to do. In no way could they be described as conventional, due to their unorthodox attitude and the fact that they do things other people never think of doing.

The Aquarian person is a fascinating mix of traditionalism and futurism, logic and intuition, eccentricity and dogmatism. He or she considers the brain the most important sexual organ and indeed they filter every aspect of life through their diligently intuitive mind. Aquarian people have something special about them; they can be devoted, friendly, penetrating, idealistic, enlightening and strong nonconformists. To love an Aquarian is to be available when he or she feels lonely, without demanding equal time. She is inclined to be part butterfly, with a dash of Minnie Mouse and a pinch of Madame Curie. He is part Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse and Mr Spock. They are not only complicated but can also be very unpredictable when others least expect it. They can be sexually broadminded and erotically uninhibited, and they seldom say no to demands for sexual freedom.

The Aquarian will have many friendships throughout his or her lifetime, few of which could be classified as truly close and intimate. When they are in love their whole heart opens up and their experimental nature invents all kinds of delicious ways to keep their partner interested. Their unpredictability means they always want to be different from other people. Their partner must be tolerant, understanding, warm and open-minded. If their partner is futuristic in his or her sexual attitudes, they will be futuristic in their responses. Liberation is the key word for Aquarians and they will always experiment and test the water throughout their life.

Aquarius rules the ankles, legs and circulation. The constitution is not very strong, but it is wiry and stress should be avoided as much as possible. Swollen legs and ankles, and all problems and weaknesses of these parts, poor circulation, cramps, pains due to flatulence, and spasmodic and nervous diseases are peculiar to this sign. Hay fever and other seasonal ailments can be common.  Aquarians may have trouble with their eyes, so regular testing is recommended, especially if headaches occur routinely. Sunglasses should always be worn on bright days to avoid eye damage. A quiet and peaceful environment, bushwalking, regular exercise, swimming, sport and reading are all good medicine for those born in this sign.

The Aquarian woman is a mass of contradictions, an approval seeking and non-conformist, sympathetic but detached extrovert during the day, a recluse by night. An independent thinker, the Aquarian lady can be quirky and offbeat in her moods, habits and tastes. She dresses as she pleases. Her opinionated and freedom-seeking nature can be hard for her partner to take at times. She dislikes and will rebel against any form of possessiveness. The Aquarian woman is usually as good as her word; she is a tireless worker and crusader, always helping others with their battles. She will attract to those whom she considers different and will be happy in an experimental environment or alternative lifestyle. She can be timid, however, and somewhat passive in personal relations. She will generalise rather than personalise, especially about her friends and herself. Usually sexually broad-minded, she believes in personal choice and is completely liberated about sexual freedom, but she can be quite erotically inhibited in her own life. She fears rejection and usually thinks twice before she jumps totally into a new relationship. Her fear of intimacy can sometimes be a problem. She is an eccentric lover, with a streak of unpredictability. She may even consider having an extramarital affair if she feels in the mood. The Aquarian woman is usually fond of animals, or shows a humane attitude toward them. She adores a life partner who is intellectual, futuristic, and experimental and enjoys an alternative lifestyle. Her partner should maintain a harmonious equilibrium to keep the relationship running smoothly. The Aquarian woman is the best friend of any sign in the zodiac.

The Aquarian man is a highly intelligent, distinctively individual, independent and charming man. He has an irrepressible sense of humour and a spontaneous, offbeat sense of fun. Because he is so open-minded and interested in many things, he is a stimulating communicator, and others will relish the challenging conversations they can share with him. People are fascinated by his elusive, free-spirited approach to life, and impressed with his courage and quiet determination.

The Aquarian man can seem very detached, aloof or indifferent. He becomes extremely bored and restless, and may crave greater freedom and new challenges. Aquarians can be tactless and outspoken, with a sharp, sarcastic tongue. They can also be evasive and difficult to pin down. They will make a romantic commitment in their own time and will not be hurried. Despite a busy work and social life, they will always be there for you. The Aquarian man is very strong-willed, dynamic and gregarious. His kindness and generosity will often surprise you, and his unpredictable, enigmatic qualities will fascinate you for much of your life. Although he loves to exercise his brilliant and questioning mind, this man also places great value on genuine and lasting friendships. The Aquarian man loves to laugh and have fun, and he adores witty exchanges. Sport and outdoor interests also give him pleasure. A love for the unusual and offbeat combines with a need for personal freedom in relationships. Never restrict an Aquarian man; he needs room to breath.
