Aquarius

It's OK to be different with a capital D, that's a big part of the Aquarian credo. These people are prepared to and seem to actively need to live out the more extreme edges of their impulses more than any other sign of the zodiac. The list includes many original thinkers, comedians and general one-offs. Aquarius is conscious it is a unique person and so needs to live that way.

Invention's mother must have been an Aquarius; so many from this sign not only come up with radically new ways of doing things but seem stunningly prescient in what they produce. Witness Jules Verne, whose fictional space splashdown occurred with a few miles of where an Apollo capsule plopped into the sea over a century later. And that's just a minor detail; Verne was stunning in his prediction of so much of what has become our modern world. In other fields, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf pushed literature to extremes, while more recently Peter Gabriel was ahead of the field concerning the trend toward "World Music".

The downside of Aquarius are a tendencies to over-eccentricity, awkwardness and stubbornness. These are the result of taking the described positive characteristics to such extremes that they become drawbacks.

Aquarians are usually tolerant of and interested in others. They like to be simultaneously friendly and aloof, involved and unattached. They tend to have a wide circle of friends and acquaintances but only need and want a selected few to be really close to them. They are even more capable of objectivity than Librans because of their ability in being detached and impersonal. Aquarius has a life-long interest in learning, great curiosity and a wide variety of interests. Aquarians have strong willpower are sincere and interested in finding the truth of matters when needed.

Example Chart: Eddie Izzard
in


British Comedian and notable transvestite Izzard's stand-up routine is like no one else's. Unique doesn't seem a strong enough word here. He shows an amazing ability to improvise new ideas and think on his feet; no two shows repeat. Izzard's shows are inclusive in that he doesn't resort to shock, bad language or gimmicks. Instead he seemingly unpacks the contents of his eccentric, convoluted mind and makes a friend of the audience. Perhaps only someone with the Sun and five other planets in Aquarius could come up with the quirky observations Izzard does.
