Aquarians have revolutionary instincts. They often feel that their role is to push for improvements and progressive change. Their instincts are humanitarian and idealistic, and nothing makes them feel more fulfilled than using their insight, intelligence and skills to help and inspire others. It’s not surprising that many people born under this sign are drawn to human rights, environmentalism, politics, people management, technology and others areas where they can help create positive and innovative change for others or for the planet. Their inventive and original thinking and approach to life can often earn them a reputation for being eccentric—a reputation they take great pride in.

The Aquarian instinct is to not respect rules and regulations imposed on them by others unless those rules and regulations make sense to them. They are a law unto themselves at times, but they rarely use their inventive ideas in a destructive manner. In the great majority of cases, the secret to their happiness is to find ways to use their intuition and insight to bring benefit, not just to themselves or a close group of people, but to everyone. Aquarians can’t think small. They see the bigger picture.

This sign is ruled by Saturn, the planet of self-discipline, and Uranus, the planet of originality, idealism, unpredictability and endless change. This goes some way to explaining why Aquarians don’t just cope well with change, they thrive on it. They adore finding out about new things and doing things in different ways to what has been done before. You will rarely find an Aquarian who is content living in their comfort zone. These people need to constantly push boundaries in some way to feel truly alive.

Aquarians are often very sociable, tolerant and friendly people with the ability to adapt easily to any person or situation. However, despite having an engaging personality, their intellectual approach means they can find it difficult to allow others to get close to them. They have an enviable ability to detach themselves emotionally from others and from situations. This ability to step outside and observe without attachment means they can offer much-valued objective insight. Even though there is always going to be an element of untouchable aloofness and a dreamy quality about them, they are capable of giving a lot of themselves to those they care about and will go out of their way to offer help and support to loved ones and friends when needed.

Above all, these pioneers are way ahead of their time. They are the people of the future. If inspired, they are capable of flashes of intuition and insight that can be breathtaking in their scope and originality. Blessed with an innate ability to see the upside or the positives rather than the negatives, they are an uplifting breath of fresh air with their refreshing and quirky approach to life, even when things are not going their way.
