The Aquarian impulse is the urge to TRANSCEND. Their job is to carry the spiritual light of ideals into actuality. Aquarius denotes the resolve to implement our clearest vision. It is impersonal and willing to work with anyone sharing the same aspirations, thus, group or team work is where they excel. This sign is aspiring, revolutionary, individualistic, futuristic, eccentric, rebellious, humane and idealistic. Aquarius is motivated by the need for freedom and equality.

Aquarius is the sign of humanitarian goals, idealism and altruism. Always impartial and nonsectarian, Aquarian energy is communal, even global. Their focus is on the goal, and the goal is always one that is for the many and not the few. Thus this sign is connected to far-seeing visions, world views, and group work of all kinds. They remind us that we are all One at the core essence of our Being. They teach people that they can be a unique individual and still play nicely with everyone and everything else on planet Earth. Aquarians value individualism, freedom and equality and have a tendency for aloofness. They are intuitive, innovative, inventive and unconventional. Very intelligent, they are sometimes accused of “living in their heads,” however, their combination of logic and intuition frequently results in huge innovative leaps.

An out of balance Aquarius may listen to good advice while smiling, then go off and do what they please as if never hearing a word. They can make constructive changes to revolutionize the world, or they can make change for the sake of change. If you want to develop a personal relationship with an Aquarius, be sure to gain their friendship first. Once involved it’s always best to give them the space they need to express their individuality. Where Aquarius resides in your chart is where you have the ability to transcend self.
