Sun Sign (A Long Post)

I was busy playing games this morning (nope, not CS this time :P) and suddenly I remembered a conversation with a friend about different types of aquarius and I wondered which category I'm in in the middle of Chess Titans. So I decided to check it out, since the smart computer is beating the crap out of me, instead I found out this really cool and amazing website: http://www.lilycat.net/aquarius.html

Here are some bits from the website:

The eleventh sign of the zodiac aka Aquarius is concerned with:
* scientific analysis, experimentation, detachment
* friendship, courtesy, kindness, tranquility
* mystery, intrigues, magic, genius, originality
* eccentricity, independence, humanitarian issues
* fame, recognition, politics, creative arts
* electricity, magnetism, telecommunications


Elemental Quality
Aquarius is the fixed air sign of the zodiac. It can be likened to a paraglider, jumping off the earth to explore a rainbow, yet aware of the practicalities of thermals and how to ensure a safe landing.

Air represents the mind and the ability to think; Aquarian ideas may be unusual or even original, but once formed, they tend to remain fixed. Fixed air, in brief, is a metaphor for fixed opinions.

The Aquarian Personality
These are the general personality traits found in people who are typical of Aquarius. An unhappy or frustrated Aquarius may display some of the not-so-attractive traits.
Positive
* Communicative
* Thoughtful and caring
* Cooperative and dependable
* Scientific
* Strong belief in humane reforms
* Independence of thought and action
* Intense interest in people
* Loyal friendship
* Inventive

Negative
* Unwilling to share ideas
* Tactless and rude
* Perverse and eccentric individuality
* Self-interested
* Unwillingness to fight for beliefs
* Uncertainty and lack of confidence
* Voyeuristic curiousity about people

Secret Aquarius
Inside anyone who has strong Aquarian influences is a person who is extremely uncertain of his or her true identity. The Aquarius ego is said to be the most precarious in the zodiac, probably because Aquarius is the sign of nonconformity. Intellectual genius, practical eccentricity and mental oddity are all linked with Aquarius.

The typical Aquarius personality has a magnetic and powerful intellect. Putting this to good, practical use is the best way for Aquarius to build an identifiable ego.

Ruling Planet and Its Effect
Uranus and Saturn both rule the zodiac sign of Aquarius, so anyone whose birthchart has a strongly developed Aquarius influence will tend to have original, unexpected ideas. In astrology, Uranus is the planet of the unusual and the unexpected, and Saturn is the planet of applied wisdom and forward planning.

Aquarian Physical Appearance
* There is a distant, dreamy look in the eyes. (haha!)
* Body: taller than average.

* Movement is not graceful but has purpose.

The Aquarius Male
* is unwilling to reveal his feelings
* is friendly toward everyone
* is a group person
* is fair minded and has his own very strong, but personal, moral code

For example: dancer, scientist, photographer, astrologer, singer, TV or radio presenter, writer, charity worker, inventor, archeologist, radiographer, electronics engineer, humanitarian aid worker.

Aquarian Health
A typical Aquarius needs lots of fresh air, plenty of sleep, and regular exercise to stay healthy -- alas, they often do not give themselves enough of any of these.
Young Aquarius is usually very healthy, except for the odd complaint which seems undiagnosable and goes away on its own accord.
When mature, Aquarius may suffer from nervous complaints due to their intense mental activity. They may also acquire a series of phobias. Aquarians may respond to hypnosis.


Aquarius at Rest
Any opportunity to lie in a hammock in the garden and dream the day away is wonderful for Aquarius's well-being. (true, true!)


P.S. I have omitted some currently unrelated details about aquarius, namely, my love life, my work life, my parenting life...
