Most children are asked what they want to be when they grow up—as if somehow, as a child, you would know. But for Aquarians in particular, life is itself a voyage of discovery. Make that voyage your priority, and instead of trying to settle on one destination, you will enjoy each and every place you go.
It’s time I freed the adventurer in me to explore
As an air sign, you have a restless mind and, sometimes, a restless body, too. You have a powerful need to get out and about, possibly merely in your neighborhood, but it may be to explore the wider world. And when you do, you’re often surprised, if not shocked, by what others seem happy to settle for.
This makes you aware of how little interest many people have in broadening their horizons, even slightly. But it also makes you realize that, oddly, in certain areas of your own life, you can be very predictable.
This is, of course, because you are born under one of the four fixed signs of the zodiac—Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius. And, in fact, once you develop certain habits, while it seems they streamline your life, they also feel very comforting—except that you can personally begin to feel stifled or suffocated by them as well.
The trick is to develop certain habits that benefit you at the same time as developing the habit of always exploring something new, every week if not every day. Balance those two, and that fixed side of your nature will lend you a stability that is very useful for you as an inquisitive air sign. It will also mean that you are always making very sure that you are not allowing yourself to get stuck in any restrictive habits or ways of thinking.
As an Aquarius, you need people in your life. But what you mostly need are individuals who have restless minds, who ask you why you are doing what you are doing, who encourage you to explore and who will inquire with you about what is new. They are not only good friends, they are assets.
There is nothing better than getting up in the morning and knowing what you are going to eat and knowing what kind of physical activity you will undertake during the day. However, for you as an Aquarius, variety is an especially important kind of vitamin, along with what you do and what you eat. Ensure that you have got lots of options.

It’s true: you’re often reluctant to make changes, especially if you can’t understand why you should bother or what you will get from them. The fact is, you have no choice. The situation in question involves others as much as you and, ironically, they are eager to take things to the next stage.
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.
