pletely misguided, but I will share it any way as an example of one
astrologer’s attempt to understand how Aquarius affects us.I see Aquarius as the sign of networking people and ideas. Aquarius
relates ideas of different people to each other. Aquarians are social ani-
mals that typically prefer living in an urban area rather than a rural
area because they prefer having access to the greater number of ideas
and group activities. A person with strong Aquarian emphasis can find
fulfillment in a rural setting too. Church clubs, school activities and
community affairs are important in rural areas, but often Aquarius
enjoys the greater number of options in an urban setting.
The Aquarian inclination to network people together gives it access to
many points of view and very often more ideas and information than
others have. As a consequence, Aquarius does tend to have a liberal
and progressive view, but Aquarius also dearly wants to preserve the
organizations rather than tear them down. Aquarius joins groups, and
very often participates as an employee of a large corporation. Aquari-
ans very often like to think of themselves as great innovators, inven-
tors, or eccentrics because they are not provincial in perspective. They
are cosmopolitan and enthusiastic about modern progressive advance-
ments. They do not cling to the past and they do not fear progress,
partly because they are better acquainted with the progressive develop-
ments generated by corporations and universities, and partly because
they are not sentimental or deeply emotional so the replacement of tra-
ditional methods with new ones is not offensive. However, Aquarius is
a fixed sign, and like all fixed signs it is steady and consistent and not
unstable and erratic like Uranus. Aquarius preserves the group activi-
ties and works to enhance and grow organizations, clubs, corporations,
and groups because it needs them and values them. Aquarians may like
to think of themselves as progressive, but they do not want to radically
disturb the status quo; they want to preserve it. (Courtesy of Cosmic

Many specialized report programs have been developed that offer useful sup-
plements to the generic delineations of general reports. The following sun-sign inter-
pretation has been drawn from a program written by Gloria Star (originally part of her
book, Astrology: Woman to Woman), that generates a specialized report for women:
With your Sun in Aquarius you are a woman whose spirit forges into
the realm of the unusual. As an individual you are unique, and you may
pride yourself on the things that make you different from everyone else.
But you also have a strong desire to connect to those who are like
minded, and may count your friends as your most significant blessings.
Since your Sun speaks of “who you think you are,” you need to realize
that your powerful mind, which can be strongly focused, is your link to
your future, and that you are the creator of that future.Aquarius
