I loved your last two zodiac posts! Can you describe how you feel about Aquarius?

My father is an Aquarius. Aquarians are the biggest mystery of them all aren’t they? You know that quote from that blink 182 song where he says: “I traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder, it was never plugged in at all.” That is Aquarius.

They are always in the next moment, dreaming seamless dreams. They are poor listeners because of their active imagination running away with them constantly. They create their own world–for sure. They are Alice through the looking glass. They are a kaleidoscope. They are that stock character talking about random things in the background. They are the rainbow after the storm, the silver lining, the political protest, the Renaissance. They are revolution, they are unconventional lifestyles, they are the best of friends and the worst of lovers (not that they are bad in bed, they are very frisky and experimental. They just don’t do committed relationships very well. They like to be in the romantic longing, or outright refuse connection altogether).

Though fun and exciting, true intimacy is alien to them. So accustomed to living in their own world, everything else is like an intrusion. They enjoy spinning their web for others to see and admire in its unusual beauty, but they only want you at an arms length distance. They are not emotionally centered, they are intellectually centered. Very “in their head” at all times. When an emotion happens to them, they don’t know how to process it. It just sort of comes up like projectile vomit, and everyone has to drop everything they are doing to attend to them, but if you are hurting–they just cold shoulder you and shrug it off. They can’t easily access emotion unless they have water in their chart. If they have fire, they are ultra creative.

Aquarians are the friends who always have their door open to you. You are always welcome to stay over, they are always down to travel, go to a concert, try something fun and spontaneous. You will never be bored with an Aquarian. They are always off in another dimension. Speaking random truths from the ether, or just completely denying any existence of that “space traveler” in them.

Aquarians are outraged by social injustice, and are natural humanitarians. That is… Unless they have a bunch of cap and Pisces like my dad. That makes him very dark and bitter a lot of the time, however, Aquarians by nature are silly, offbeat and playful. They will fascinate you with their keen insight and unique sense of humor. They march to the beat of their own drum, and are very objectively curious.

Aquarians are great and restructuring, or finding alternative routes or ways of thinking. Their mind traces every avenue, and often they have a wisdom, which seems to come out of left field at times. It is hard for them to line up with their emotions, but when they do it is so pure.

Aquarians generally vibe well with Aries and Sag because they are truth tellers. You will get a bare bones, straight answer out of them. However, their colorful imagination gives them a more delicate delivery as opposed to these fiery counterparts. Aquarius has a dreamy, yet very no-nonsense approach to most things. It is much more appealing to them to return to their own world as quickly as possible. Giving information will only be done when absolutely necessary, and at lengthy intervals. As social as they can be (especially with fire in their chart), they are the sign that most appreciates and values solitude.

They are champions of justice, and can’t stand to be a bystander. If something goes on that they don’t approve of, they will make it known. They are crusaders by nature, nothing fills them with more purpose than joining a meaningful cause. A good example of an aquarian in this position is Abraham Lincoln.

They march to the beat to their own drum, and follow a music that only they can hear. Aquarius are known for being free and independent thinkers that come to their own conclusions about things, as a result they don’t hold much stock in gossip or other people’s opinions. They are much more interested in coming to their own conclusions. They rarely (if ever) judge a book by it’s cover and prefer to keep an open mind when meeting new people, walking into unfamiliar surroundings, or new situations.

They are horrible liars. Like a kid with their hand caught in the cookie jar, “Oh gee I thought it was mine.” My dad was a flagrant womanizer, and could never keep all his affairs straight. When an aquarian is put in a position where they feel they are unable to tell the truth, they prefer to remain silent. It’s better to say nothing at all, hoping no one will notice so they don’t have to say anything, because it is actually deeply rooted in their nature to be brutally honest.

Also, aquarians live and breathe music. More than any other sign in my experience. I get my good taste in music from my father. When he was a young teen back in England, he kept handwritten catalogs rating albums and live performances, comparing artisits etc. He took me to my first concert at 12 years old, and it’s still an important tradition for us. Going to concerts are most of my favorite memories with my dad. For Aquarius, everything is better with music. An Aquarian I dated back as a teenager was in a band, and he idolized Tom Waits along with the Jesus and Mary Chain.

Negative side to aquarians is their fixed opinions, and determination to take the road less traveled. They need to do it their own way, and don’t listen to reason a lot of the time. They also brood, over analyzing things to a point that ALMOST puts Virgo to shame. Aquarians are also wickedly sarcastic. They are hilarious, and sharp as a tack. Even aries remains amused and interested in whatever aquarius has to say. They have keen insight, and unique observations to offer others.

Aquarius is selective about who they allow into their ‘inner circle’ and prefer quality over quantity when it comes to intimate connections.They would much rather have a handful of solid friends that they can depend on than a tonne of random name droppers who aren’t really invested. They don’t often show emotions, they feel them, but it is such an unfamiliar disconnect for them that they need solitude to get their head back on straight. Also, in a darker aspect, they are so detached from their own inner life that they can’t be present with anyone else’s feelings. If you go to them for advice, they seem agitated and tell you to “deal with it”, but if they have a problem….everyone needs to drop everything to attend to their feelings. That has been my one pet peeve with them.

They are incredibly independent and self reliant. A friend of mine hopped trains across country in proper aquarian joie de vivre. They have a huge desire to make it on their own. They hate taking hand outs or charity from others. They’d rather starve. My father is the master of this, and never asks for help when he really needs it.

Aquarians often feel deeply misunderstood, and that the world is against them, or that people just don’t “get” them at all. They embrace change, and can be quite unpredictable, almost erratic in their behavior. They come out of left field with something… all intense like and you are suddenly asking yourself: “where did you come from??”

Aquarians are the ultimate “James Dean” trope. A rebel without a cause, they hate being told what to do, or how to think. My father resents being forced into catholic school like you would not believe, and is now convinced that catholicism is bullshit (which I agree) and hat we are actually an alien experiment. My dad is a conspiracy theorist to the max. Another interesting thing about Aquarius, is that they actually LEARN from their mistakes, and they never make the same mistake twice. My dad has no problem washing his hands of something and never looking back. Although… contrarily, they want to believe the best in people, and believe in second chances. If you fuck up on the second chance though….you are through.

Aquarius is the melodious sound of music reverberating in your ears like kettle drums. The laser light show of a huge stadium, Fox Mulder in his dingy office balancing a pencil on his nose, the “I want to believe” poster blaring behind him. They are the children of the revolution, they are faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust, fairy like in their energy (if female), a waif with eyes (Mia Farrow is an Aquarius). Male aquarians are the mad scientist, the vulcan, (Victor Frankenstein, Mr. Spock). They are snorkeling off the coast of Hawaii, giggling as the colorful fish brush past heir skin. They are para sailing, astronauts, aliens, travelers of time and space. They are bloody knees beneath a silk party dress, building a toy rocket in your backyard. They are telescope eyes, metal teeth. Faulty explanations with no feasible alibi. The piece pf ribbon caught in the tree, the evidence of your departure, the proof that you came, you saw and you slipped away. They are escape artists, magicians, scholars, inventors, innovators. They are the groat of the cello, the twang of the electric guitar. The second star to the right, that shines in the night, unapologetically themselves.
