Aquarius: January 21- February 18

Aquarius, an air sign, is the eleventh sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Uranus, the planet of change and surprise.

It is symbolized by the water bearer and those born under this sign do “pour” themselves into everything they do.

 Aquarians try to be different from others and are always thinking of new and exciting things to do.

Because of their high focus on intellectual exploration, many inventors and explorers are born under this sign.

Intenseness for Aquarians can be heaven or hell, and it is stated that in the American Hall of Fame there are more Aquarians than any other sign. However, statistics reveal that in mental institutions there are more Aquarians than any other sign, also.

In relationships they are well liked, they attract friends easily and are extremely loyal and honest. And, as they love doing the unusual, they will often surprise those around them.

On their darker side, Aquarians will become very discontented whenever others disagree with them. They also try to reform those around them, and will seek to create change and progress . . . becoming disenchanted if others cannot keep up or slow them down. Aquarians are very humane people and like fighting for worthwhile, practical causes.

Health wise, as Aquarius is said to govern the legs from the knees to the ankles, as well as blood circulation, they are susceptible to ailments in those areas, in addition to spasmodic nervous complaints. Also they are prone to ailments brought about by excesses, such as food and drink, and need to watch their weight and exercise more.

This is the year for Aquarians to take a more relaxed pace, especially in February, when they will have a tendency to overdo things.

Romance is in the air at the beginning of the month, especially around Valentines Day, and the latter half of the month is a good time for travel and to take on new ventures.

Christian Dior, January 21; Placido Domingo, January 21; Humphrey Bogart, January 23; Robert Burns, January 25; Paul Newman, January 26; Wolfgang Mozart, January 27; Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 30; Princess Beatrix (Netherlands), January 31; Charles Dickens, February 7; James Dean, February 8; Harold McMillan, February 10; Charles Darwin, February 12, and John Travolta, February 18.

Pet Horoscopes

Dogs: Aquarian dogs are usually well built and can be on the tall side for their breed, and will have a tranquil and thoughtful expression. They make good house pets as they are steady and calm, not given to rushing around causing chaos. On the other hand they enjoy working in the entertainment field, be it in a circus or on television and can sometimes seem more human than dog.

Cats: Like their canine counterparts, Aquarian cats enjoy entertaining and love starring on the television. They are eccentric and have birds as best friends, sleep in the dog’s basket, prefer chocolate to fish, and so on. Aquarian cats are also very independent, and relish their freedom, so they must be given space and not cuddled when they don’t want affection. They also tend to get bored easily, and can change their behaviour just for fun.
