Aquarians are innovative freedom-seekers and humanitatian focused souls. They seek authenticity ans liberation. An undeniable trait of Aquarius is their individuality and ability to defy categorisation. They are archetypal outcasts who value freedom and hate to be labelled, as a result, they are likely to lead an unconventional life.
Aquarians are not just dreamers, they are doers. Their futuristic minds and adventurous nature mean they are usually ten steps ahead forging the path for everyone else. Aquarians are admired for their humanitarian qualities; they have a strong desire to fix things and make the world a better place. You’ll often find them devoting their time to philanthropic activities and humanitarian missions.
While Aquarians are a force of change in our world they have an overlooked sensitive side to their personality. At worst, they can be stubborn, easily offended, self-absorbed and unforgiving. People often think they’re standoffish, but that’s just because they are often deep in their head solving a problem. Their enigmatic nature and need for detachment can make them difficult to get close to, and they can be so focused on their work or reforming society they risk closing themselves off from the world.
When Aquarius season comes around its invites us to think outside the box, be imaginative and find new and innovative ways of being and doing. It’s a time to look forward, make big plans, and even be a bit rebellious in making changes in our life. Aquarius’s energy is idealistic, utopian, freedom-loving and solution driven. A great time to visualise capabilities, steer advancements and make progress.
