Many people figure out a system to live by, values to have, things to go for. But as an Aquarius, because you’re inquisitive, that changes, and the system itself needs to be all about discovery. Once you understand that, then instead of trying to find the perfect thing to do, you’ll realize that those discoveries are what you are meant to be doing.
As much as I value old friends, if they’re boring they get only so much time
Some of those born under the sign of Aquarius seem fairly conventional and lead what appears, on the surface, to be an ordinary life. Others born under your sign are genuine, if sometimes discreet, rebels. However, deep within the core of your nature is that unconventional, if not rebellious, character.
You are probably not aware that you were born under the rulership of the planet Uranus, the first to be discovered in modern times in 1781. So of course, you will see things in your own, unique angle, and differently from the rest of the world—including the other signs, but even from other Aquarians. That is because, in a way, you’re creating an entirely new identity for yourself and for your sign.
This isn’t just about what you do and think of yourself, but how you live various elements of your life, from your activities out in the world and your relationships in general to your activities, or work, your view of finances, and your goals and objectives. For this reason, when you make decisions about the present and the future, it’s worth regarding them as tentative, if not an experiment.
However, as one of the fixed signs of the zodiac—those stable signs in the middle of each season—you sometimes overcommit to plans. The trick is to recognize that, by nature, you were born to be an explorer.
Many come to you for guidance and ideas. You don’t realize this until you compare notes with those around you. And this is useful for them, not just because you have a rare capacity to spot the potential in others, but also because you learn so much from every conversation you have with them.
As an air sign, you enjoy feeling well and free. However, the routine of taking care of your body isn’t something that comes naturally, so you need an activity that combines mind and body. That may sound strange, but if you find something you can do that will stimulate both your mind and your body, you will enjoy it for a lifetime.

Saying no to something or, indeed, somebody where things won’t work has never been a problem. You’ll usually explain your thinking and the reason why, and then move on to other topics. But now somebody is determined to change your thinking. Listen once, thank them, then, as before, move on.
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.
