Constellation Aquarius: the most important characteristics at a glance

Aquarians are real inspector gadgets and love sensual conversations: these are some of the more common assumptions about your sign. But what about the real thing? Time for a basic lesson in astrology.

Aquarius traits - 'Freedom is my middle name

21 January - 19 February

Freedom, freedom and more freedom: nothing is more important to an Aquarius than living an autonomous life. George Michael sang it: "Freedom, I will not give you up". Whichever way you interpret this sentence, it unmistakably fits an Aquarius. Aquarians trust their feelings and intuition blindly and have a feel for everything that is to come. They are also stubborn and persistent - sometimes even seeming inconsistent to outsiders. This is compensated by their great compassion and empathy; the happiness of close friends, relations and family often comes before their own. 

Youth

An Aquarius gets to the bottom of everything. This is great when you have the time to keep an eye on your little one all the time ;-). When they are a bit older, their eagerness to learn takes over - still, it is a good idea to let them romp around in play palaces, amusement parks, playgrounds and sports fields.

Love and sex

Aquarians are attracted to cheerful types who share their zest for life and enterprise. They also talk easily about sex, but in a stimulating way - not so much in depth. Approach an Aquarius with humour, but not with slouchy opening sentences; come up with more than that.

Libra is the very best match for an Aquarius, because Libra is good at making oneself useful and loving the other person when necessary. The second choice is the Gemini, which is a great match, especially when it comes to shared humour. You often see Libras and Geminis stay together for life. Because if you can't laugh with someone, what is it worth?

In principle, Aquarius gets along with everyone of the zodiac signs, but it gets annoyed by some types. Pisces are too helpful, Cancer is argumentative and Lions expect more recognition than Aquarius can provide.

Dealing with

It may be clear by now: for an Aquarius, freedom is the highest attainable goal. Never - ever - make an Aquarius feel trapped by you, because you will lose him or her. It sounds ruthless, but that's how it is.
