It is easy to set things up that will impress everybody else. Not that you do so for that reason, but simply because their enthusiasm brings enthusiasm out in you. The trick is discovering what really excites you. As an Aquarius, you’re a unique individual, and that process of discovery may take a while, but it’s worth the patience and the effort.
It may be tiny or a big deal, but each day I will do something very different
As one of the three air signs—Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius—you’re fascinated by what is going on in the world around you and in your own life, and learn from what you observe.
But when it actually comes to making changes, it’s not so easy. This is partly because you want to ensure that you have freedom in your own life, which in turn means that if you commit to one avenue of activity, you would be missing out on others.
Yet every once in a while, it’s important not only to make a change, but also to break away from a path so familiar that you know exactly what awaits you, and around every twist and turn. This is one of the tricky issues for you as one of the fixed signs of the zodiac—born in the middle of each season. You fear that in taking that first step in a new direction, while you’re breaking old—and often restrictive—patterns, you’re plunging into the unknown.
In a way, you are. That is the point. For you, the world of discovery is vital. In fact, as an air sign and as an Aquarius discovery, experimentation, and growth are as natural to you as breathing. Sticking with what you know seems safe, but it’s like remaining in a stuffy room when you could throw open the door and walk outside into the fresh air. The more skilled you become at discovery in life, the more you will enjoy life itself.
Most Aquarians have a large circle of friends and enjoy the company of others. The tricky bit is how much time you spend listening to what they’re doing and their dramas versus the time you spend exploring together. Think carefully about that, and then think carefully about who you put first when making plans.
Discussing dilemmas is easy, and in fact many people enjoy the process. Allowing them to take over your thinking and to turn into ongoing anxiety, however, is something that is important to watch out for. Choose what you discuss, who you discuss it with, and most of all, what you put your mind to.

The planetary activity ahead won’t just be exciting. Much of what’s coming your way could turn into something worthwhile and of a long-term nature. However, that won’t be clear at the time, which means you owe it to yourself to explore everything, including what seems unappealing.
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.
