Aquarius symbolizes the quest and dispensing of knowledge through independence of mind, novelty and originality. Aquarius has to be different at all cost. It likes progress, invention, innovation, reform, originality, uniqueness, provocative ideas, the fringe. Aquarius lives in the future. Aquarians usually have a social conscience and are more concerned with the good of the majority than with the whining of timorous and subjective individuals (Like the fuck I care). They are detached and independent, cool (WOW!) and free, cosmopolitan and citizens of the world. They don't usually care much for mainstream or conventional ideas. They like to shock and are provocative if one isn't too stuck to listen. But they too can be rigid and dogmatic. They are often involved in all kinds of politics, crusades, activism (MALI). If they're so individualistic that they'll only do their own thing, they become rebels, fanatics, eccentrics and their behavior can be rather erratic and unpredictable. They are so nervous about being tagged, labeled, categorized or taken for granted, and forsaking their beloved freedom, that they may resist any pull toward attachment, closeness and intimacy. They'll play cool and detached, buddy-buddy or hard-to-get and they may vehemently claim to be "above all that gooey emotional stuff."

Everything modern has an appeal to Aquarians: computers, electronics, aviation, aerospace, information exchange, etc. You'll find a lot of them on the Net: nerds, wizards and geniuses. Aquarians have an uncanny ability to link things that seem unrelated to most other people. But they can be so jittery than their techno-babble leaves everyone miles behind. Nervous exhaustion lurks on their electrified path (This is so ME).
