Ha Ha I knew you were an Aquarian when I first saw that outrageous, gorgeous purple grinning cat.

Lewis Carol, who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland' was Aquarius, anyway. So, it was a case of Alica being taken through an Aquarius world.

(Perhaps a bit of Mr. Bean also thrown in. :-) )

I'll just add here that it's the same sort of character as e.g. of Peter Sellers in that movie 'The Party'.
An example of good books about Aquarius characters are those by Linda Goodman. I was laughing when I read them.

I'll just mention here that having much ego about being Aquarius, like having world domination and having a war song, is not an Aquarius characteristic. (That would e.g. be more Leo, Aries, etc.)

There is no best (or worse) zodiac sign. They all have advantages and disadvantages, positives and negatives, strong and weak points. That can also be part of them being there - to teach co-operation, understanding, team work, between them.

I do think that despite the 'marching to a different drum' to the rest of the world, which most Aquarius are aware of as they go through life, Aquarius is still a dual planet sign. I have an Aquarian friend who is night ruled by Saturn whilst I am totally Uranian - you notice it when we go out by our dress sense.

Something interesting to do with Aquarius: The zodiac signs are categorized into air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) and fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). These are the masculine signs. (Lightweight, out of this world sort of signs. It's e.g. easier for a man to deal with a masculine sign.) There's also the earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) and water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). These are the feminine signs. (Held down by earth's gravity.) (Also, the 1st sign of each element mentioned is the Cardinal sign, then Fixed sign, and then Mutable sign.)
It's natural to be intrigued by the opposite gender. This even comes out in the zodiac signs. The fire signs are intrigued the most by the water signs. The water signs are intrigued the most by the by the air signs. The air signs are intrigued the most by the earth signs. And, the earth signs are intrigued the most by the fire signs.
Each sign is also intrigued the most by a certain other one (which corresponds to the above). If taking Aries as the 1st signs, and going around to Pisces as the last sign - it would be the next sign after the polar sign.
So, Cancer is intrigued the most by Aquarius. And, Aquarius is intrigued the most by Virgo.
Can imagine an Aquarius person walking along the beach, carrying his pitcher of water, at sunset. He stops, and looks around. A few crabs are following him, who also stop. He smiles to himself. And, perhaps chucks some water on them. He walks further on. He sees a Virgo woman reading and suntanning. "Hhmm." He thinks. "I for instance wish I was as good with money as her."

Anyway, some sources show Aquarius as being a merman.

What I was mentioning here - Besides showing Aquarius as 'swimming' through the cosmos, it can also be to show unity with humanity (from the Piscean Age). It's the same with Aquarius pouring out the water into the mouth of a fish with its mouth opened wide, in the constellations.

I've incidentally, on my Astrological chart, got Aquarius in my 3rd House of communication (of Gemini), with e.g. a few planets there (adding more steam to it). So, it's a case of communicating ahead of their time ways of thinking.

I was saying that the 1st Aquarius decane is of Uranus - introducing to Aquarius, then Mercury, and then Venus. This occurs also with the retrograde cycle of the zodiac ages. So, the world is still in the 1st Uranus decane. That is - being introduced to Aquarius.
A reason why the world is in such a turmoil, is Aquarius characteristics being so alien, or different, to humanity in general. A good example is with gender equality - regarding others as people, rather than as men or women. It also is difficult going from the age of a water sign (Pisces the fish - a low life form) to the age of an air sign (Aquarius a human, and the most spiritual out of all). It's a sudden, big jump. Us Aquarius people must do what we can to assist humanity in dealing with Aquarius characteristics. For instance, humanity in general seeing them physically and emotionally, instead of (or more of) intellectually and spiritually.

I am a 'typical' Aquarius too....but it depends on my mood!!!

I am also the 25th of January

I have a very Aquarianafied family too...my Step Mum is the 24th, I am the 25th, my nephew is the 26th, my Sister is the 28th and my Dad the 31st!!

I love being an Aquarius

Moon in Pisces

Rising sign Sagittarius

hmm.. I used to remember more.. I guess I could look up venus and mercury, and the rest of them.

I used to study astrology a bit. I guess it was my attempt at trying to understand myself as well as humanity.

Then one day as I was questioning how I viewed things, I decided that I should view every living soul as being unique as a snowflake, and I shouldn't try putting them in some sort of understanding , shaped by the way the planets were when they were born...

..and if indeed these celestial skies did have some strange cosmic force on a persons life, wouldn't that be more likely to take place at conception ?

It got way too complicated, and didn't seem to be a practical way of deciding what people were about.

( I have to admit, I still read the odd horoscope ..but mostly for entertainment)

This would also be typical Aquarius:

”Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” Steve Jobs

It's very good. I’m also a lot like that. They’d also often be misunderstood. (One can also think of the film "Rebel without a Cause" (1955), starring James Dean - also Aquarius.)

An inventor would usually be regarded as a crackpot. When the world catches up – a visionary.

As an Astrologer (I think it was Linda Goodman) once said that the air signs, especially Aquarius, keep the wheels of progress rolling. Without this group, there wouldn't be progress.

Another Astrologer was saying that the sign we are the most compatible with is - Libra. Also, the sign we are least compatible (or most incompatible) with is - Virgo. Yeah, and Virgo is the sign we are the most intrigued by.

Least compatible as far as i've ever known is Scorpio...

I've dated a few

Feb 9th here. I am unlike a lot of aquarians I know. I do not fit in anywhere.....but here.

In response to the last two above - I can agree with what was saying about Scorpio. (You probably e.g. find the Scorpio person is very judgemental.) It's debatable about who's our most incompatible sign.
That Astrologer also said that generally 2 Aquarius people wouldn't click, or 'hit it off' together. That's unlike e.g. Taurus. I'd say that one must remember that Aquarius is not an easy sign to deal with.

A good saying for us Aquarius sunsigns - Trust no-one.
