Tempting as it is to revive goals from your past that once meant a great deal to you, deep down, you know they are indeed from the past. The trick is to pay attention to those that are in the present and in the future, that glimmer in front of your eyes. Those are the ones to go for.
Once, joy was meeting the same person, same place. Now it’s about exploration
For you, those around you—family, friends, and occasionally colleagues—aren’t just people you know, they are what might be termed provocateurs. They are vital accessories in your life, simply because, from time to time, one will ask a question or another will point out something you’ve been doing the same way for a very long time. And in each case, they are gently but firmly challenging you to change habits that are familiar. So familiar, that in a way they numb your mind.
Even if it doesn’t seem to be the case at the time, they prevent you from exploring in ways that are so important for you, as an Aquarius and an air sign. Yet while others’ words may be irritating, deep down you know they’re doing you a favor. If they didn’t provoke you, or didn’t point out what you said you wanted to do but haven’t taken action on, they wouldn’t be true friends or family members.
Remember this when you’re annoyed with them. Instead of flaring up, as you have in the past, you might even thank them.
But even more than that, if possible, get them to join you in those adventures. For you as an Aquarius and an air sign, life is about discovery, and every time you do something in a new way, every time you break a familiar habit, you are taking another step toward delightful discovery.
Some place deep in your mind, you have a feeling that those who are true friends should be people you can hang out with and simply enjoy without any kind of conflict. But of course, the point is, those who are true friends or family members who love you will actually challenge you. They’re concerned about your being stuck. This may not be welcome, but it is the biggest favor they could do you.
There are all kinds of ways to ensure that you feel better. There are various kinds of exercise, from walking to yoga to jogging to things you haven’t even heard of. And there are different ways of eating. But there is another trap that you, as an Aquarius and an air sign, can often fall into, and that is called daydreaming. It it may feel good if you do it, but it probably won’t do your body much good.
Tempting as it is to revive goals from your past that once meant a great deal to you, deep down, you know they are indeed from the past. The trick is to pay attention to those that are in the present and in the future, that glimmer in front of your eyes. Those are the ones to go for.
In their enthusiasm to tell you about certain new ideas or offers, one particular individual could be overly zealous. They may even seem to be bullying you. Despite that, what they have in mind would actually be in your best interest, but you won’t know that until you do a little exploration.
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.
