Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
"To chase the glowing hours with flying feet."
~ Lord Byron, poet
Again, it's an honor to take the role as co-writer here at Souls-R-Us. But I must regretfully inform you of the resignation of the CEO at Souls-R-Us. He has moved on to bigger and better things, ie walking the dog, snow blowing the driveway, lurking through windows, etc…(cough cough, chapter 11, cough cough) We have a pact, a verbal agreement, a spit handshake for me to finish the last two horoscopes Aquarius and Pisces. And you know a spit handshake is the most binding agreement ever. So the best to the founder of Souls-R-us, Quirk, who gave us one hell of year. Yay…
Duality ~ Masculine
Triplicity ~ Air: Representing intellect and communication.
Quadruplicity ~ fixed: Representing persistence.
Ruling Planet ~ Uranus. Uransus is one of the youngest planets found through a telescope in March of 1781. Uranus, the first ruler of the universe was the Roman Sky God. Uranus is the planet of the future associated with modern science, invention, electricity, humanitarian movements and revolution. It is also the planet of sudden upheaval and swift, unexpected happenings. Its realm is all that is now, original, different, and unorthodox.
Do you often take an action that has no rhyme or reason? Are you attracted to an unusual line of work or to odd, colorful people? Do you feel that you are a more inventive thinker than those around you? Do you take an interest in modern science and the latest discoveries in the world? Are you known for your startling pronouncements or being and unusual character?
If you answered yes to these questions you must have a strong Uranus in your birth chart.
Symbol ~ The water Bearer, often mistaken as the Aquarius sign, dispenses a gift that flows freely and equally to all; representing the creation and the giving of life. The water that is poured out by the Water Bearer symbolizes truth. Being a truth-teller you give out opinions and observations. You dispense wisdom. You are a seeker of knowledge. You are rational, open-minded and gifted with breadth of vision. Your mind is full of information but yet you still search for more. You always want to know what lies on the other side of the mountain. You could hear something like this from an Aquarian. "It annoys me to know there's something out there I've never heard of. I need to know what it is."
Dominant Keyword ~ I know
Polarity ~ Leo. Aquarius is the sign of hope and dreams and friends and wishes. You tend to be idealistic humanitarians who are concerned with the larger issues of the world. Because of this you remain personally detached in your personal relationships. Leo, your opposite is the sign of pleasure, affection and love affairs. They look for fun and good times to make them happy. They need close ties with others and tend to dominate in love affairs.
Lucky Day ~ Wednesday Lucky Numbers ~ 1 and 7
Special Color ~ Electric Blue: The clear color of the sky
Cities ~ Stockholm, Moscow, Buenos, Aires, Salzburg. Countries ~ Russia, Sweden and Ethiopia

for if dreams die,
life is a broken winged bird
that cannot fly. "

I am never bored anywhere: being bored is an insult to oneself. ~Jules Renard
Aquarians are original people-sort of wacky, witty daredevils who refuse to follow the crowd. It's in your nature to be different and you strive for it. You not only march to the beat of a different drummer you make up new music as you go along.
The great men of science are supreme artists. ~Martin H. Fischer
Intellectual independence is your strongest characteristic. When combining the fixed quality with the air element under the influence of the planet of change, Uranus, you can't help but acquire a personality that is liberal, progressive, yet fixed in opinion. You have a lot of ego invested in your opinions and ideas and you don't let your inflexibility and stubbornness get in your way of what you want. You refuse to compromise and very rarely give an inch, making you a strange mix of radical thinking whose opinions are written in stone. Although, being a seeker of truth, if evidence comes to light you can be persuaded to changing your mind. It doesn't matter what other people think, though, you are always off on a new adventure because there are so many more exciting things to discover that way. You think boredom is a communicable decease and take every opportunity to avoid it.
Freedom is the oxygen of the soul. ~Moshe Dayan
Your independence is your way of life. You won't let anything or anyone get in that way. You can't be fenced in or tied down and if you feel trapped you will escape at any cost. Aquarius represents future hopes and yearnings so for you what is done is done. You want to escape the past and like Peter Pan, head straight on to morning.
As an idealist you would like to see everybody happy. Your ambition is to do something meaningful and important. You are a person who follows their dream. LIke the Water Bearer you shower the world with your thoughts and new ideas. Being at a near genius level your mind churns out some pretty amazing things. You like the idea of planning the most elaborate scheme but your main interest is creating the idea not translating it into action. Hard work doesn't interest you. You are creative, imaginative, experimental but the menial task of detail and the trifling matters of management are not your style. You would rather invent the most unrealistic scheme and let other deal with the hard realities.
Your great weakness is to exaggerate your importance and to pose as an expert on any subject. Sometimes you will be argumentative not because you feel deeply, but simply because you enjoy the intellectual exercise. When you are bored you take delight in verbally provoking anyone you consider dull and uninteresting.
