Aquarius Personality

The Aquarius soul is a disruptor of the status quo. Your zodiac sign symbolizes the power and control of authority and the changes that come with revolution. This energy can be seen in the way you live your life, express yourself, or the work that you do.

Aquarius individuals are often very intelligent, resourceful, and inventive. Your fixed modality (along with Taurus, Leo, Scorpio), makes you somewhat stubborn and relentlessly committed to living life on your terms. You are not willing to water yourself down or hide for the sake of others. 

Your sign is one that can often sense what is coming next and sees trends as they are taking form in the material world. You are future-oriented and a visionary, bringing your brilliance and ideas into being. 

As you move throughout life, you will notice that at times you can be very attached to certain ideas, as a fixed air sign — which is associated with the mind. You become fixated on the things you are doing and your focus is hard matched. When you are investing your time and energy into a project, you are all in. 

A flavor of perfectionism and rationality seems to be infused in the things you are working on. Alongside your creative and eccentric self though, is someone who sees the link between things on both a macro and micro level. These multifaceted views of reality give you a unique perspective in which to approach life, people, and the planet. 

Aquarius in Love

Your zodiac sign is associated with friendship and social circles, and this generally is the energy all of your relationships start as. You find your partners amongst groups of friends and acquaintances. Your sign tends to fall in love with someone’s personality and thought-process first, you are intrigued by people that can match you in thought and wit. 

As a planet ruled by both Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, and Saturn, the planet of rigid structure — you sometimes take very different approaches to relationships depending on what you are feeling and thinking. This can make you seem somewhat chaotic, independent, or non-traditional in how you feel about the roles you take on in love. 

When people fall in love with you, they may need some reassurance from you on an emotional and physical level that you are more than just friends. At times, you can slip into the friend zone very easily so distinguishing the boundaries between friend and lover is helpful. 

Relationships that excite you are the ones that can give you new ideas and interesting ways of thinking and being. You like to be challenged and to try things out at least once. You like to know and discuss boundaries along with shifting them as necessary. 

When it comes to long-term relationships, you are very private and rarely bring your deepest thoughts to the surface or share them with others outside of the partnership you are in. You prefer to live your experiences as they are happening and let things evolve as they may — you don’t attach too closely to a certain outcome or vision of potentiality when it comes to relationships. 

Aquarius Career + Money

Possible Careers: Scientist, physicist, programmer, computer scientist, artist, professional activist, astrologer, inventor, product developer, designer, graphic designer, marketing, researcher, social worker, activist, community organizer, writer, sociologist, political scientist, human resources  

An Aquarius approaches life with a serious-minded focus on their chosen field. You generally take two routes in life either to pick one thing and stick with it or move from career to career over the course of your lifetime. Your goal is often to help people evolve or bring people into the future, so even if you choose a helping career, it is for a broad-minded purpose to assist all of humanity as a whole. 

You become intensely interested in things and have a mind for research and invention; tapping into the energy of mechanics and understanding how things function and operate. Aquarius is often attracted to careers in technology and computer programming, design, and science as these are fields with concrete structures but creative enough that you won’t get bored. 

Your sign is also drawn towards humanities or sociological careers, as you are curious about society as a whole. Your interest also can span into the military, the government, and other institutions. You sometimes work within these organizations or alternatively, you choose to fight against these societal structures as an activist or community organizer. 

You find success in life relatively easily and money along with it. The goals you set out tend to fall into place, and you seem naturally good at things that you try or are interested in. Your main objective is to make your career work for you rather than you working for it. 

Aquarius Psyche + Life Path

As the sign of the Water-Bearer, you are approaching life from a place of seeking and spreading the highest knowledge. You are a steward of truth and remain objective and unattached in your role as a vessel. Your understanding of things is far-reaching and you hold onto emotions as information rather than fully absorbing yourself in them. 

Oftentimes your sign gets compared to the Greek story of Prometheus — who stole fire from the gods to give it to the people. Your sign is here to help move things forward and bring everyone into the present and beyond. Aquarius is the intermediary between traditional and revolution. You hold onto both and are a bridge that spans the old and the new. 

You see things and can recognize patterns before they manifest. This orients you towards prophecy and allows you to implement and design a life and world that is community-focused. Your path is often global and spiritually you carry this spark within you that can be shared for the highest good of society.
