Section 1: General Characteristics
Your fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements, stephanie. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings).

Your “elemental makeup” is described below. Remember that most people are “unbalanced” or lopsided, and if you are lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that you need to consciously develop that aspect of yourself to learn to appreciate and/or to work harder in that dimension of life.

Sometimes we overvalue the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following chapters.

One of your basic challenges is to learn to empathize, to enter into others’ personal inner experience with sensitivity and compassion. Real intimacy doesn’t come easily to you. You’re apt to think, analyze, and respond coolly and rationally even in what other people might consider a highly emotional situation, and this coolness or distance can prevent you from developing deep closeness to others. You need to learn that logic and reason are only part of the whole picture, and to respect your own and other people’s “irrational”, subjective, emotional experience, which is just as important as the “facts” of the matter.

Deep emotionalism is uncomfortable for you and frequently you will avoid, and yet be simultaneously drawn to people who express intense feelings and emotional needs. With your gift for verbalization, you may be able to talk about feelings without actually diving in to your own or others’ real experience.

Becoming too intellectual and airy, too removed from the personal side of life, is a tendency you need to beware of as an Aquarius with an Air Dominant/Lacking Water elemental makeup.

Section 2: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

The following is a description of your basic stance towards life, the way others see you, the way you come across, the face you show to the world. In Chapter 3 you will read about the “The Inner You: Your Real Motivation”, which describes the kind of person you are at heart and where your true priorities lie. Read this chapter and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between them, in which case “the inner you” may not shine through and others are in for some surprises when they get to know you at a more than superficial level. This chapter describes the costume you wear, your role in life, while Chapter 3 talks about the real person inside the costume.

A forward-looking and progressive Aquarius, stephanie, you are a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and you are often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. You are extremely aware of the interconnection and interdependence of all people, and are always relating personal issues to some larger framework, and these views are even further enhanced by the presence of the Aquarius Ascendant found in your chart. You see the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and you wish to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to your community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, social justice, etc. color your whole outlook and approach to life. You are truly interested in the good of the whole and not only your own personal well-being.

Sometimes you may overlook or ignore your own and others’ personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to your ideals of how one SHOULD feel or act. Though you have little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, you yourself are sometimes dogmatic about your beliefs and ideologies.

Like most Aquarians, you are attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and you are eclectic and cosmopolitan in your tastes, stephanie. You may consider yourself a “global citizen” rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. You are strongly influenced by your peer group and the flavor of the times in which you grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. You are involved and active in groups, community efforts, cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, you are a friendly Aquarius and express a kind of impersonal good will towards others. You probably have many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of your closeness with others is based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see you as an Aquarius who is a good friend and comrade, someone who is objective, fair, and rather detached emotionally. Like many Aquarians, you do not often show your emotions, and may be unsure how to respond to others’ emotional expression, for you tend to be very rational.

You are also a very independent Aquarius and refuse to be possessed by any individual. You are not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and are inclined to have “liberated” views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. You need to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal sharing may take a back seat to your work or outside social activities.

You seem quirky, unusual, offbeat and “different”. Sometimes it seems you are trying to provoke people and upset the status quo just by being yourself. You tend to be restless, excitable, and somewhat ungrounded or nervous as well.

You are direct, honest, and to the point — some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who you are or what you want — you’re pretty much up front. You radiate a refreshing enthusiasm and vigor when you’re at your best. You seem to enjoy competition without taking it terribly seriously.

There is a certain intensity, charisma, or compelling attractiveness about you that may have little to do with your physical features. It’s an energy, a subtle sexuality, that you emanate. Also, you tend to do everything wholeheartedly and with passion, which is quite fascinating to other people. Your instincts and psychological perceptions about others are quite incisive.

You tend to blend in with and take on the characteristics of the people in your surroundings, and may thus not make a powerful individual statement of your own. You may project an aura of glamour or “make-believe”, and enjoy trying on different personalities at different times.

Section 3: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

Many of the traits described in Chapter 2 are emphasized again below, stephanie. Be especially wary of the tendency to be oblivious to the personal feelings of others because otherwise you sometimes hurt others’ feelings without realizing it.

You are a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and independent-minded Aquarius, and you insist upon living your own life as you see fit, even if that means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships you cannot be owned or possessed, and while you are willing to share yourself with another, you do not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of a close relationship. Though an intellectually open Aquarius, you can be enormously stubborn, opinionated, and inflexible on a one-to-one level. You have strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and you try to live by your ideals, but your ideals about how people SHOULD treat one another don’t always take into account human weaknesses, differences, and needs. You probably dislike sentimentality and traditional gender roles and “games”.

You are fair, intelligent, objective, rational and often let your head rule rather than your heart, stephanie. Aquarians like you seem rather self-sufficient and detached emotionally because you are capable of putting aside your personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once you make up your mind on an issue, you are difficult to sway and can be rather dogmatic.

You think in broad terms and are concerned with the world beyond your own personal sphere - your town, nation, or even planet. You are likely to become involved in community affairs, social organizations, and groups of all kinds, or to have a keen interest in such. You enjoy being part of a group endeavor and often find yourself organizing, managing, or supervising group activities.

A forward-looking and progressive Aquarius, you harbor great hopes for the future. You stay current and up to date, and respond to contemporary cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and in terms of ideas. When young you were very influenced by your peers and by group pressures and by all the “latest crazes”. You have an experimental mind and are attracted by the novel.

Your strong points include your concern for human welfare and social betterment, your sense of fairness and democratic spirit, and your vision. Your faults are your stubbornness and inflexibility, stephanie, and a tendency to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human needs.

You tend to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where your efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged, or unknown to the public. Asserting yourself or getting up in front of an audience may be exceedingly uncomfortable for you.

An impulsive, restless, and spontaneous Aquarius, your life is apt to be somewhat unstable and full of sudden changes. You are an extremely independent Aquarius and crave excitement, adventure, freedom, and discovery. You have a rebellious streak and often feel you are unusual and different from the mainstream of society. The unorthodox and novel appeal to you.

stephanie, you have a deep belief in your own power and your ability to survive any change and to emerge victoriously from any difficulty. You have tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, you pursue your desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and you may be somewhat compulsive, even fanatical at times. You like to live intensely and have no respect for people who are weak, who avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

Section 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
Clear, objective, and realistic, you are unimpressed by exaggerated claims or promises. You insist upon being shown facts to back up any statement you hear, and your natural skepticism often borders on cynicism. As an Aquarius with a chart that contains the Mercury in Capricorn aspect, you approach problems clearly and rationally and maintain your poise and objectivity even in the midst of critical situations. Anyone seeking your advice is certain to get an unemotional and unbiased assessment of their situation, and you therefore make a good arbitrator or judge. You are thorough, conscientious, and disciplined in your thinking, and have an aptitude for business, organization, and administration. You are also a good strategist, stephanie, and will plan and patiently follow a realistic course which will lead to your eventual success. Serious-minded and studious, you enjoy quiet time alone for thinking or reading.

You don’t speak up readily, even when you have a lot to say! Also, your mind tends to drift and you find it difficult to study very factual material that doesn’t have much color or imaginative appeal. Your intuition and first impressions are likely to be quite accurate, however, and you tend to depend upon this faculty in making decisions.

You scrutinize, analyze, dissect, and critically assess ideas before you accept them. You may seem judgmental, serious, and unreceptive to others’ thoughts, particularly if they are frivolous or poorly thought out. You prefer substantial conversation rather than superficial, light, meaningless banter. You generally think deeply and carefully before speaking and wish others would do the same! Communication problems, like extreme reticence, stuttering, or interpersonal difficulties, may well be challenges for you.

You have an abundance of thoughts and many ideas to expand your horizon. Always receptive to new ideas, you tend to acquire considerable knowledge, stephanie. New vistas of understanding may appeal to you, and you may get involved in groups that teach these ideas.

Section 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
Open and generous, you enjoy a wide circle of friends and acquaintances and you thrive on sociability and fellowship. You are an adventurous, playful, freedom-loving Aquarius, and always ready for a good time. You rarely allow obstacles or difficulties to keep you down, for no matter how bleak the past or present, you always expect a better, brighter future. In fact, you are uncomfortable with your own or other people’s problems and emotional pain. You often try to “cheer up” or offer philosophical advice to those who are hurting, but unwittingly you avoid or ignore the emotions involved.

Friendship means a great deal to you, stephanie, perhaps even more than love or romance. For you to be happy, your mate must be your best friend and encourage your aspirations and ideals. Like most people born under the Aquarius Sun sign, you also need a great deal of emotional freedom and mobility.

You get a lot of emotional fulfillment through your involvement in groups, clubs, organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and care for you. You make friends your family, stephanie, and feel a close kinship with people who share some ideals or beliefs that you hold dear. You need people outside of your physical family to relate to and belong to.

You are an easygoing, agreeable, and tolerant Aquarius, willing to overlook others’ mistakes, forget the past, and begin again on a positive note. You enjoy making others comfortable and happy, and sometimes overdo your generosity. You often feel that “everything will turn out all right no matter what I do”, and so become lazy and lackadaisical.

Emotionally excitable for an Aquarius, you tend to act impulsively and make rash decisions without thinking of the consequences, stephanie. Others may see you as an eccentric, somewhat selfish and unpredictable. You seem to attract sudden upsetting experiences.

Your interaction with others has an emotional overtone and you have a strong desire to share your feelings with others. Your circle of friends is likely to be large and you enjoy many pleasant meeting with them.

You have a dreamy nature and an inclination to be influenced or led easily by other people. You look for the perfect mate and dream of fulfillment. You must learn to deal with your extreme idealism and to face life a little more realistically.

You respond to your environment in a highly emotional way and encounters with other people can get you excited easily. Your mood tends to change quickly, though, depending on the response you receive from others.

You are definitely not one to wear your heart on your sleeve. You care very much about others’ opinions and crave love and appreciation as much as anyone, but one would never know it from your reserved and seemingly detached Aquarian appearance. Casual, superficial relationships don’t interest you at all. You are cautious and serious about love and really desire a deep, genuine, lasting love. You are old-fashioned about courtship and love, and will remain faithful to your loved one in good times and in bad.

You may be attracted to persons older than yourself, someone who is emotionally mature and reliable and who can provide the security you desire.

You are a very sociable, congenial person and due to the presence of Venus in the 11th house found in your chart, you wilt very quickly without the company of good friends and people to share good times with. You thoroughly enjoy working with others on group projects or community activities, stephanie. You are quite happy when you are a part of a club, support group, or team of some sort.

You tend to deprive yourself of pleasure, friendship, and love, either because you feel you don’t deserve it or you think it’s wrong to enjoy life too much. You may have been indoctrinated with a duty-and-work-before-all-else orientation early on. You may also think of yourself as unattractive or unlovable, and thus close your heart to opportunities to share love and companionship, never quite believing that others actually like you. You’re apt to prefer solitude to being in uncomfortable social situations, and your shyness may be intense — especially when young. Learning to truly love and accept yourself — including whatever flaws or imperfections you believe you have — is so important for you. This process of self-appreciation and self-love will reap rewards, especially in later life.

Others are drawn to you because of your affable, social and appealing disposition, and you are likely to have many pleasant and friendly relationships. You also have strong artistic inclinations and may consider a creative field as a profession or hobby.

Section 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You are a “busy bee” - energetic, restless, and forever on the go. Your active mind is always buzzing with ideas and you find it difficult sometimes to relax, slow down, or take time to reflect and replenish yourself. Aquarians like you tend to live on nervous energy. You can accomplish much in short bursts but projects that require long-term commitment, stamina, and steady, persistent effort are not easy for you. You often scatter your energies into so many directions and activities at once that you cannot finish or follow through on some of them, stephanie. You need variety, change, and mental challenges.

As an Aquarius you have a sharp and eager mind, and you enjoy games and competitions that have a mental component. You like to match wits with someone else.

You often achieve your desires by your verbal skill, your ability to speak clearly, vigorously, and convincingly for what you want. Your drive and energy is more mental than physical. You use your wit, intelligence, communication skills, social sophistication, and awareness to achieve your goals.

It is not easy for you to show the world at large your angry or competitive side, but your family sees this side of you more often. Temper tantrums, tumultuous family relationships, or a great deal of competition between you and one or more of your relations is likely, stephanie. You like to be the one in charge in your home and you put a lot of energy into making it the way you want it.

You have a rather cocky, confident, we-can-do-it attitude which people in your environment pick up on quite readily. Inspiring, motivating, and encouraging others to go out and do their very best is one of your innate gifts. You have faith in the power of action and boldness, and enjoy imitating new programs and projects.

Your competitive drive and big ambitions (commented upon earlier) are fueled upon by either strong spiritual idealism, or a rather inflated, grandiose idea of what you can actually accomplish. Your energy level is apt to fluctuate from being very strong, as noted earlier, to rather low, as mentioned in the following paragraphs.

Unless you have a goal that transcends merely personal gain, you are apt to become deeply discontented, aimless, and uncertain of your direction in life. At your best, stephanie, you will work or fight for a larger cause, and feel fulfilled through service to the whole. Unless you are focused in this way however, you can be confused and easily persuaded to do things which are either unethical or simply ineffectual.

You have a strong sense of mission and you instinctively know that to achieve anything great, one must eliminate superfluous activities, and give oneself wholly to the goal one wishes to accomplish. Your zeal, enthusiasm, and clarity of purpose enable you to succeed and to achieve whatever you aim for. You have a strong will, stephanie, but you are usually quiet and understated about it.

Your desires are very strong and at times you could be quite forceful and impulsive in your sexual expression. You want to be with those who are closest and most important to you and have a great need to express your affection for them.

Discipline, concentration, a realistic sense of what is attainable, and steady dedication to achieving your ambitions are the keys to your progress. You’re apt to move slowly but constantly in the direction of your goals, and solid achievement is the outcome of this conservative approach.

Your profession is apt to involve communications, language, carrying messages, sales, speaking, or teaching — put simply, stephanie, getting ideas across. A great deal of social involvement, networking, and personnel skills also play a significant part in your professional role.

You have a lot of energy and are determined and ambitious in the pursuit of your goals. But you have a tendency to change your aims or objectives frequently, are quite restless, and always ready and excited to start something new.

Section 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
You believe strongly in the power of positivity and in each individual’s ability to make life anything desired through one’s own initiative and effort. The more you rely on yourself, the better you feel, stephanie, and you find it difficult to ask for or accept outside help. The joy of competing (and especially winning!) runs deep in you.

Wealth, material well-being, and prosperity are very important to you, and you would never choose a profession that didn’t offer you great promise and opportunity for growth (financial and otherwise).

You are a very generous Aquarius and are sometimes careless with money; you don’t want to hold on to it, you want to enjoy it and use it to enrich your life. Whatever you do with your money, you do in a big way - making it, spending it, or blowing it! You may accumulate elegant, high quality things (art, jewelry, etc).

Section 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You fear becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance yourself or deny your needs for closeness and intimacy so that you won’t be vulnerable to rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, you may cling excessively or need constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important tasks for you.

You take both your work and your health very seriously, but you may demand so much of yourself at work that you compromise your health. You can become a workaholic, not so much because you have lofty ambitions, but because you never feel like you’ve done enough. You are overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that you may not enjoy it at all.

You can also get overly involved in self-improvement or your health, and you tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

You have a desire to break away from tradition and to free yourself from restricting conditions. Somewhat inflexible and rigid, you may suddenly become inhibited before you initiate your objectives, which could work out to your disadvantage.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which you instinctively and habitually revert to when under stress - a mostly unconscious process and one which you are apt to overdo because it is so familiar and thus easy for you. The direction you need to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

You are capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on your path, stephanie, but when under stress you become downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change is. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what you have, you are apt to ignore the subtle signals you receive about needing to do something differently which often leads to some sort of crisis.

You need to learn the limits of your ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow new life and growth to happen. “Letting go” is a major life lesson for you. You also need to develop a balanced attitude toward your appetites and desires, as you tend to overindulge and/or deny yourself excessively.

The arena you are most likely to wrestle with these issues is in developing a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether this be through religious or philosophical studies, a broadening education, or visiting and drawing upon the wisdom in distant lands or cultures. Cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to you.

You are highly emotional and tend to display your feelings in a theatrical way. You are an Aquarius who seems to enjoy being somewhat eccentric and find it difficult to adapt yourself to others. Although you may seek emotional fulfillment, stephanie, you don’t do well in associations and team work.

You are able to achieve good cooperation with people, and others see you as a welcome comrade. You like to work hand in hand with everyone and have an excellent sense of team-work.

You like to be on the go constantly and tend to have a hectic family life. You know how to eliminate competition, stephanie, but should guard against rising to the top in your position at the expense of other people.

Section 9: Originality and Imagination
Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive

As an Aquarius you are naturally unconventional, even iconoclastic, in your attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics. You tend to see traditional religion as restrictive, meaningless ritual with little to offer you, and you’re eager to experiment with other, alternative pathways. You have lots of creative, innovative ideas and you often feel that others are unwilling to take risks and venture out of their deeply ingrained perspectives and views, both traits that are even further brought out by the presence of Uranus in the 9th hose found in your chart.

You are a very idealistic person, and you want to see your ideals, hopes, and dreams made concrete and real in the everyday world. You are driven to put your ideals into action.

When young you may be rather aimless or confused about your place in the world. In early adult life it is likely that you struggle to find ways to express your imagination, fantasies, and ideals in your career. Due to the presence of Neptune in the 10th house found in your chart, work that involves compassionate service (such as medicine or the ministry) may be your calling. If you lack personal integrity and honesty, you quickly go to the opposite extreme and you can con others through dishonesty and trickery. Music, art, film-making or entertainment are also areas in which you are well-suited.

You are a person of great depth and have a deep interest in the hidden or darker side of life. Issues and experiences others shun, you are drawn to and compelled to examine. The use and misuse of personal, social, and political power intrigues you. Death is also an area you are fascinated with and may explore in depth, stephanie. You may have many experiences in which you are forced to burn your bridges and start over again.

You could have a rather ruthless and unscrupulous side to your personality that will do anything to destroy opposition. You may be a fanatic in work and are capable of making great efforts in order to achieve a lot, overtaxing your strength in the process.

You may feel that you cannot rely on anyone but yourself and force is needed to get ahead in life. You tend to go your way alone and can be rather stressed and anxious at times. You may deny yourself things and rather go without than asking others for help.

Daring and adventurous, you rush in where others fear to tread and are willing to take on any challenge. You don’t mind quarreling or arguing with people and have a strong desire to dominate your surroundings.
