Learn the basics of the sign of Aquarius
Aquarius is freedom-loving, independent, original, quirky. It's an unconventional sign, thinking of new ways of doing things—picture the mad scientist working in its lab on things that the rest of society deem impossible. Incredibly adept at tapping into future trends, Aquarius knows the hot new restaurant, bar, band or event before everyone else. Once the rest of the world catches up with them they have already moved onto the next things. Aquarius is also the revolutionary and humanitarian, breaking down the forms and structures of Capricorn to create something new and better for the collective. The sign of Aquarius is represented by the water bearer—this isn’t actually water, but the flow of ideas to the collective consciousness. Hence, Aquarius is there to share the flow of new ideas to the rest of society.
