Everything You Need to Know About Aquarius
If you were born under the sign of Aquarius, you are naturally inquisitive and interested in anything that advances and propels humanity forward. Science, metaphysics, and technology are at the top of your interests. After all, the key phrase for Aquarius is “I know,” and you are most assuredly knowledgeable. Your mind works at lightning speed, and you think outside the box. You have your own way of achieving things and can be irreverent to authority figures. But ultimately, Aquarians believe their divine purpose is to help humanity.
People might consider you quirky, aloof, or even stuck up. You may feel out of sorts or odd compared to others, even feeling alone in a crowded room.
On the one hand, you want a partner and intimacy, but on a visceral level, you must have freedom within the relationship; therefore, you often give off an air of detachment. If you feel caged, pressured, or constrained in any way, you run for the hills screaming (inside, of course).
Getting a rise out of others might delight you, especially when dropping a provocative pearl in a conversation, causing a visible shock wave. Meanwhile, you like to impose your views onto others in a compelling or manipulative manner. Fortunately, others find your quirky personality entertaining and appealing.
Many Aquarians have a quirky, unique sense of style. Yet, many appear outwardly conservative, often sporting a string of pearls, but you are wild and unpredictable inside.
As a fixed sign, you can be stubborn, which is surprising because you are progressive and open to new ideas and concepts. Of course, Uranus, the maverick planet of shocks and surprises, is the ruler of Aquarius, so it should be no surprise! Your forte lies with the ability to unite others in protest and rebellion for the betterment of society.
With your focus on the future improvement of society, you often overlook the needs of those closest to you. In your view, you’re giving them valuable freedom to blossom however they need. Overall, you want society to be just and fair, and you’re willing to stand up and fight for your convictions.
Aquarius flowers are the orchid for refinement and uniqueness and the gladiolus for integrity and character.
