Some say that sticking with the same goals your entire life is wise. However, it’s worth noting that, what with the world around you changing, what you’re seeking must change, too. There are many kinds of growth. And the growth that has to do with allowing your goals to grow is one of the most important.
I’ll create a “discover something new” club, then act on my commitment
Your birthday is Valentine’s Day, which, in many parts of the world, is about the ideal of the perfect romance. However, as everybody knows, while there may be a few of those around, life living with other human beings can have its ups and downs. And even the most perfect romance may be the result of dealing with, and finding a way around, those difficult points that arise when dealing with any other human being over a long period of time.
However, the notion of romance complicates it, because the simple phrase “falling in love” suggests that it is pure destiny, and the individuals in question have no responsibility to make things work in practical terms. In fact, it isn’t that easy to deal with those in your life, from family and friends and colleagues to those you meet. With each, it is about discovering what they’re like.
This interest in individuals is natural. It comes with being an Aquarius. And for you, one of the most disillusioning days is the moment you realize that many people have little interest in those around you—including you. When you come across someone who shares an interest in humanity, and in you, not only is that an individual to value, it is someone to cherish. Whatever the relationship, keep them close to you and cherish them.
There are those individuals who are easy to deal with. And then there are those who always challenge you, who ask why you’re doing what you’re doing, who encourage you to make changes, and who even, in some cases, badger you to do something new. They are your true friends and allies.
It’s easy to get lost in the regimen of taking care of yourself, of eating well, and particularly the kind of exercises that go on in gyms, where there are all sorts of machines. However, it is easy to get lost in those machines and let your Aquarian mind wander. If so, you might as well not be exercising, but living in a dream.
Some say that sticking with the same goals your entire life is wise. However, it’s worth noting that, what with the world around you changing, what you’re seeking must change, too. There are many kinds of growth. And the growth that has to do with allowing your goals to grow is one of the most important.
Recently, life has been so demanding and so complicated that each day has felt like a battle. And equally, it has meant that you’ve had little time to think of yourself, or your own plans and arrangements. Review these now. Ironically, all that you’ve already dealt with will mean this is surprisingly easy.
Aquarius: JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18
Ruler: Uranus
Symbol: The Water Bearer
Element: Air
Flower: Orchid
One of the few human zodiac symbols, Aquarius is the water bearer, the third of the clever air signs. While ruled by Saturn for most of history, when the first planet to be discovered in modern times, Uranus, was spotted in 1781, you acquired a new, edgy ruler. Your flower is an orchid, your spice is chili, and your tree is all those bearing fruit. Not surprisingly, your stone is the aquamarine.
