The Good and the Bad- No Ugly

There are some people in the world that don't know or care to know about their zodiac sign. It could be for religious reasons or just a lack of interest. I can't remember how I got reeled into it initially, but I enjoy reading about my sign. I am not as involved in it as some. I remember a patient we had who scheduled her day around the astrology. I found it to be very interesting as to how the outcome of it was but when she came in years later, she still followed it so I guess it's working for her. Whenever I would get serious with a guy I would read up on their sign first. Now I knew my compatible signs (libra, gemini, sagitarius, aries) but I would still read up to see if there is any hope in our compatibleness. The hubby is not one of my "listed" compatible signs but I think we make up for that. LOL. I am going to copy and paste one of several profiles on my sign. I chose the one that I felt listed everything the most accurately. Now I have to admit that I am still astonished at the mere thought that these descriptions are exact. I wonder are others profiles just as on point as mine. If there is an objection, I will note it next to the statement. For those that know me, here is confirmation of what you may have suspected and for those that don't know me, here I am in a nutshell. However, a nutshell is a bit small for this job. Enjoy getting to know me.

JAN 20 to FEB 18

Symbolized by the water bearer, people born on days between January 20 to February 18 are categorized as Aquarius. They are frank, practical, idealistic and spiritual. They are born rebels and following the norm is not their cup of tea. They have unusual, new and daring ideas and go to any degree to pursue them. Their outlook is positive and they have strong convictions and seek truth above all things.


Not always intelligent and logical, they are devoted to work that inspires them to the extent of injuring health. (hmm I would say ALWAYS dammit)

Argument is something they get involved into just for the sake of fun. Aquarians favor working in-group projects, if they are given the recognition of the leader. They have a feeling of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that makes them admirable.

They are witty and open to many ideas but sometimes they become mentally fixed and very stubborn. They are talkative and social but it may be hard for them to find common ground in any social circle. They enjoy expressing their views and are very articulate.

The negative aspect of this zodiac sign is rudeness, resentment, and the silence that may burst out suddenly in extreme temper. They have no respect for tradition and little concern for the lessons of the past. They are purely progressive. They love to rebel against the system in supporting causes and ideas that are controversial and revolutionary.

Intellectual, friendly, glamorous, good communication skills and ability to understand abstract concepts.



WEAKNESSES
Fixed ideas, rebelliousness, coldness

PERSONALITY

Eccentric and original, Aquarius is a sign of people who follow their passion and desires to the hilt. They have very advanced ideas and can excel in any profession. They are a good team player but also are headstrong and inflexible in some ways.

Their approaches to problem solving are many times termed as too radical, unworkable, advanced and ahead of the times. Being frank, they can hurt some people if they are too honest about their views. Nevertheless, their outspokenness has its advantages as it grantees them a good social life. They reject old traditions,(that would explain my wedding) venture into unknown paths, and lead a life of the rebel. They thrive on change. They get bored of usual things very quickly and always want to see new people around them. However, they are somewhat impersonal most of the time.

Equality, freedom and fairness are important issues for them. In this regard, they are likely to be classified as a progressive and often associated with humanitarian issues and causes. They are very intuitive and able judge of character and this is where being fair-minded helps them.

Though they are very involved with such matters, their approach is always somewhat in the abstract and impersonal. Their approach is often very impersonal and detached. They resist anything or anyone threatening their independence.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
These people are friendly and social with a wide circle of acquaintances. They like to have friends who share common interests and are intellectually oriented. However, when it comes to romance, they find it difficult to be happy. They do not often display emotions and they prefer to keep their feelings to themselves. Even if their friends may be romantically inclined to them, they may never realize it, as they are too aloof. (depending on the person, I do share my feelings)

Romantic attractions that do occur are often sudden, and in some way unusual; they may end just as suddenly as they began. (LOL ain't this the truth) A permanent partner will have to be a friend first and a lover second. (and that is why my hubby is the one for me)

Freedom is another thing that they dearly love and possessiveness scares them badly. They want to be free and give entire freedom to their partners too. They value their individuality very much and this makes it difficult for them to submit to their partner's choices. With an understanding partner, the relationship may last very long and may be very successful. In the matters related to sex also, they are different and rebellious. They seek variety in their sex life but after they find their ideal mate, they are very loyal and dependable.

HOBBIES
Their hobbies can range from cycling in the countryside to photography, reading comics, collecting kitsch objects, collecting stones of unusual shapes and sizes, collecting gadgets, collecting spices and off beat recipes, collecting perfumes, holidaying in the mountains, participating in car rallies. Their desire to be free is what drives them to travel. (The things I agree with are travel, mountains, and collecting perfumes)

CAREER
Aquarians can turn their hands very successfully to most things, since they are very determined individuals. (this is why I am great at braiding hair and dental assisting) Many choose rather unusual careers like Astrology. They see life as a series of excellent opportunities to make the world a happier place, and if money comes their way, so much the better.

They might excel in technical fields and those linked with electrical and radio industries. Aquarians work best in-group projects, but must be recognized as having a leading role. They make excellent researchers and admirable scientists, especially astronomers and natural historians. They may lead the field in photography, computer technology, Radiography or electronics. Aviation is also a natural vocation for Aquarians. (now I know what my next career is, LOL)

They also possess talents in writing, particularly poetry, and in broadcasting. In theater, they make good character actors, and are natural mimics. Possessing an affinity for rhythm and timing, many Aquarians make fine and progressive musicians. In the service fields, they can be effective welfare workers or educators. (all of this is intriguing)

DOMESTIC ENVIRONMENT
They are home loving and their home must have good cooking and good food as a fundamental ingredient. At times, they like to settle in places far from their place of birth. (hence why I am in the country now?) Wherever they are, they like to surround themselves with unusual, distinctive objects.

Close relationships inevitably stir up complex and convoluted emotions that Aquarians often find troublesome. Generally not materialistic, their most treasured belongings are their freedom and independence. Whilst most ultimately do form stable partnerships, it will always be important for both partners to maintain their own interests and concerns.

HEALTH
The sign of Aquarius rules the lower limbs and ankles. The diseases with which the Aquarian may be afflicted are swelling of the legs, and nervous diseases of various kinds.

STRENGHTS
Aquarians are usually intelligent, cool, clear, logical people. They have good imaginations and are quite intuitive. Aquarius is drawn to and inspired by great causes. They do not deter from their goals and pursue them until the very end. Often termed as head of their times (my mother is an Aquarius also and she tells me we are ahead of our times) ,their ideas are progressive. They are a good friend, responsible, impartial and always loyal. Cool and collected, they are levelheaded and stable. They enjoy their own company and are recharged by this quiet time. Rarely content being followers, they are more often society's trendsetters. Most Aquarians appreciate beauty and balance, possessing an excellent sense of aesthetics. This is often expressed by interests that can span drama, music, art, and science.

WEAKNESSES
They sometimes seem eccentric and unconventional in their responses to everyday problems. They are also likely to be somewhat impractical and perhaps lacking in common sense. (I beg your pardon) They consider all that they do as being on a utilitarian level, even if many of their ideas are a bit idealistic and outside the mainstream.

They are quite aloof people, who do not actively seek out relationships, and resent any infringement on their time or resources. They are engaging, yet unreachable. They can be fascinating and dynamic, while lacking any real warmth or endearing qualities.

Among the faults, which are typically Aquarian, are extreme eccentricity, and an unwillingness to participate in any standard of protocol. When angered, they become seriously rude, alternating between deafening silence and sudden outbursts of temper. Even during the best of times, they may demand the freedom to come and go as they please. Possessiveness makes they feel trapped. Casual companions and relationships are much more comfortable for them because they do not impose so many demands.

I hope everyone can use this as a guideline to dealing with someone of my caliber. I applaud my friends for being my friends. I remember my mother telling me when I was in elementary school that if I kept my attitude, I wouldn't have any friends. I guess she was wrong. Ha! I am delighted to have shared my world with you. There was some good mentioned in there so I am a happy camper. Until next time......
