The fact is, you need a new challenge from time to time. This is by no means negative, but it is almost as if you were taking vitamins. Having a small challenge—not something overwhelming or negative—will give you an opportunity to exercise your muscles of being inquisitive and being clever in a way that is very useful indeed.
Same plans again this weekend? It’s time for a complete change
You may not notice this—at least, you may not notice it right away—but of course, you have always been you. The fact is you are more inquisitive than others—and more observant. You discover more simply by observing the world around you, by looking at nature. But, even more, you learn about people by watching them, those you may see on the street and those you see regularly—family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues.
In fact, often you might know more about them than they do themselves. However, turning that mirror on your own life and on what and who you put first is what is most important—and not quite as easy.
Initially, you may not find yourself particularly interesting, but if you fall into the rather typical Aquarian habit of doing the same thing, of a routine, then it is essential that you use your wisdom to examine your own life and to break the habits that could settle into what often are termed “the habits of a lifetime.” Instead, make a point of breaking a habit a week, if not a habit a day.
Once you begin doing that, then you will give yourself the freedom that you, as an air sign want. In addition, that freedom will make life itself all the more exciting—exciting enough that you will wake up each day with a sense of eager anticipation.
Many Aquarians don’t notice a difference between those around them because it is not in their nature to compare or judge people. Yet occasionally in conversations, you notice others doing just that. Don’t judge or compare, but make a note of how wonderfully able you are to enjoy those around you, whatever their quirks.
The feeling of being at one with yourself—that is, so settled in who you are that you don’t feel the need to change anything—is rare and wonderful. And it is something that, as an Aquarius, is within your grasp. The challenge, however, is to ignore those who say, “If you change X or do Y in your life, you will feel much better.” For you, it is simply not necessary.
The fact is, you need a new challenge from time to time. This is by no means negative, but it is almost as if you were taking vitamins. Having a small challenge—not something overwhelming or negative—will give you an opportunity to exercise your muscles of being inquisitive and being clever in a way that is very useful indeed.
Tempting as it is to sidestep dull facts and even more tedious rules and regulations, these really can’t be ignored. It may seem like you got away with it, but things are likely to catch up with you. So invest time in dealing with these now, before they become any more complicated.
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.
