When people call you eccentric, Aquarius, you don't balk at their observation. You're actually rather pleased that they have noticed your originality. Aquarius is never one to follow the crowd; you get the crowd to follow you. And it's not necessarily because you have great leadership skills. It's more because you have a knack for rallying people to help your cause. You are an innovator, the zodiac sign of the future. As a humanitarian, you want to make the world a better place and you have strong, unwavering opinions on how you're going to accomplish this. You are progressive but still fixed in your opinion (blame it on your Fixed quality). You get irritated very easily and get defensive when anyone disagrees with you or questions your ideas. Everything needs to be on your terms and everyone needs to adapt to you, not vice versa.
Intelligent, inquisitive and optimistic, you are constantly asking the questions that nobody else may think of or dare to ask. You want to know how things work, and you are an avid studier of human nature. You are also one of the nicest persons someone can meet. Easygoing, natural and genuinely kind, you attract friends effortlessly. So why is it that some people think you can still be so detached or uncaring?
There is a definite paradoxical nature to your personality, Aquarius. On the one hand, you're extremely friendly and inviting, and on the other hand, you have a tendency to seem distant.
On the one hand you seem so self-assured and outgoing, but on the other hand you are shy and don't want others to get too emotionally close to you. A lot of your nuances have to do with your need for independence. You can't totally engage anyone else because you don't want them to try to mold you into something you're not – your independence would be compromised.
Relationships
Those born under the Aquarius sign usually have a larger group of more impersonal friends than a smaller group of closer ones. That doesn't mean that the quality of your friendships diminish, because you deeply value your relationships. You aren't one to judge other people. In fact, you're able to deal with all sorts of personalities, and probably because you want everyone to put up with all of your quirks. In both friendships and relationships, you have a deep sense of loyalty and usually have enduring friendships.
As an air sign, your best romantic matches are also air signs – Gemini and Libra. In love, your personality will not stand for a weak mental attraction or a partner who will stifle your independence. For you, romance means solid communication rather than passion, because while you are emotional, you rely on your rational side more since you tend to not trust the value of emotion. It may be difficult for you to put as much time and energy into your relationship as you do your interests in life, like your friends, hobbies and projects. But just as you give back to humanity freely, you will also give to your partner freely once you are in love.
Those born under the Aquarius sign are the people to look to for the future and the progress of mankind. But can people always look to you to allow collaboration of your ideas and plans? Don't let your tendency of having unwavering opinions get in the way of making your dreams come true.
