The average Aquarian—if there is such a person—will thrive best on a diet that is simple, light and nourishing. They should steer clear of fatty and fried foods that will just slow them down mentally and physically, and aim for foods that are as natural as possible. A mainly vegetarian diet rich in fruits, vegetables, oily fish, legumes, nuts and seeds is therefore preferable to a diet rich in animal products and refined, processed food.

Aquarians may feel fitter and more mentally alert when the weather is cooler. They don’t tend to enjoy sunbathing as much as those of other signs. They can suffer from circulation problems and should ensure they get plenty of circulation-boosting exercise, a minimum of 30 minutes a day. Cross-training or creative forms of exercise, such as dancing, will appeal to them more than repetitive exercise. Jogging or brisk walking is highly beneficial, but they should avoid the dullness of the treadmill and head outside to get the energy-boosting benefits of fresh air. Regular stretching before and after exercise is important because Aquarian ankles are vulnerable to injury and they should also make sure they wear supportive footwear.

Aquarians are highly likely to enjoy unusual or eccentric hobbies, from train- and UFO-spotting, to astronomy, to science fiction conventions. They can enjoy team sports, socializing and campaigning for causes they believe in. Mind–body therapies, such as yoga and tai chi, physical therapies such as massage, and even simply thumping a punch bag, can help them unwind when the going gets tough. Although blue is their favored color, wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color red will encourage them to feel less detached and more passionate toward themselves and others.
