Aquarius - It's Your Time

Aquarius should be quite comfortable as humanity heralds the incoming New Age Consciousness. Because Aquarians are pictured as thinkers and kind people, they will welcome the focus on a new consciousness.

Aquarius is an air sign, or part of the air triplicity. Interestingly, the mentality factor of the air signs usually indicates an intellectual highlight. In the case of the Aquarian, futuristic thoughts, scientific endeavors, and a consciousness for fellow man come to the forefront.

The ruling planet for Aquarius is the planet of electricity and sudden changes, Uranus. Known for its electrical storms, the flash of inspiration and genius is how this energy manifests with the Aquarius native.

The "Water Bearer" symbolism that accompanies this sign is enigmatic. Associated with mythological Delphi, she pours sparkling water from the heavens. This goddess is able to bless humanity. The Water Bearer reference is often shown with a magical wand, as well.

More symbolism for the Water Bearer imagery is the flowing water that spreads higher consciousness to the thirsty warriors who fight on behalf of the downtrodden plight of mankind.

Through the feminine association with Delphi, the sign of Aquarius is believed to usher in a new dominant position for women of the world.

Technically, Aquarius has been categorized as a masculine polarity, but this may be left from ancient days, when polarity was simply used as a system of organizing the zodiac wheel.

Aquarian health concerns center around the blood. A close check on the condition of the blood should be maintained through regular check ups. Diabetes or other blood afflictions can be a threat.

This native needs plenty of vegetables and fruits, as well as, plenty of water to keep the bloodstream pure and free flowing.

The strong suits of an Aquarius show up in areas of leadership, truthfulness, science, invention, and patience. Most of the time an Aquarius native prefers to be located in a cosmopolitan area.

Key words associated with Aquarians are "humanitarianism, collectivity, altruism, progressive ideas, Utopianism, romanticism" - A.T. Mann.

The health and wellness areas to center on are varicose veins, heart palpitations, poor circulation, and blood disorders. Protecting ankles and calves is important, as well.

The collective idealism is strong in the Aquarian mindset that loss of individuality becomes a problem. The long anticipated age of Aquarius espouses good things, the light of higher consciousness for human kind, but this is only a singular aspect.

A few prominent Aquarius type personalities are Carl Jung, Abraham Lincoln, Walt, Whitman, Madame Blavatsky, Joan of Arc, Mark Twain, Orson Welles, Isadora Duncan, Einstein, Ralph Nader, and Carl Sandburg.
