Ruled by shocking Uranus is a element of Air, Aquarius very much epitomes the planet that inspires it. This
sign has astonishing intellectual and communication skill. Aquarius may the sign of the rugged individualist, the
mad scientist and the lone eccentric, but this visionary also represents social interaction and higher
consciousness. Aquarius' title, the "Humanitarian of the Zodiac," is well earned! For a fixed sign, Aquarius has
a lot of adaptability. Attribute this to the need to accommodate others. A passion for life, new things, and novel
situations sends Aquarius in all directions! Without stability and a willingness to listen, however, this sign can
become erratic. Aquarius can try many new things but end up mastering none. That can stifle the great success
potential here. Slowing down long enough to establish a solid foundation gives Aquarius the ability to ground
his or her electrical energy. Receptivity can calm rebellious tendencies, especially those that put a member of
this sign at cross-purposes with his or her boss! Aquarius' future-oriented energies give all members of this sign
the advantage of living as if they are well into the 25th Century!

aquarius profile

Aquarius Profile（January 21 to February 19）

Aquarius is the eleventh Sign of the Zodiac, and Aquarians are the perfect representatives for the Age of
Aquarius. Those born under this Sign have the social conscience needed to carry us into the new millennium.
These folks are humanitarian, philanthropic and keenly interested in making the world a better place. Along
those lines, they'd like to make the world work better, which is why they focus much of their energy on our
social institutions and how they work (or don't work). Aquarians are visionaries, progressive souls who love to
spend time thinking about how things can be better. They are also quick to engage others in this process, which
is why they have so many friends and acquaintances. Making the world a better place is a collaborative effort
for Aquarians. The Sign of Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer. In much the same way that the Water
Bearer brings that precious liquid as a gift, Aquarians shower the world with their thoughts and new ideas.
Luckily for Aquarians (and the rest of us), they are at a neargenius level, so their minds churn out some amazing
things. Their thought process is also inventive and original.

While Aquarians are happy to bestow these ideas as a gift with no strings attached, they are much happier when
the rest of the world agrees with them. Naysayers will quickly find out that Aquarians can be impatient, even
temperamental, with those who disagree. Yes, these folks can be quite fixed in their opinions, in keeping with
the Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign. Even though Aquarians are happy to give, and they do, it's often on
their terms and within their comfort level. Generally, that means ample space, since these folks are freedom-
loving and individualistic and need to roam (and yes, they do enjoy travel). While Aquarians are generally
sympathetic and compassionate, they like it when things go their own quirky way. Some might call their
behavior eccentric (and they would be right), but when you consider that the Aquarian's heart is truly in the
right place, a few oddities should be overlooked. In their own way, Aquarians treasure their many friends and
acquaintances and want to give back as much as they can. Aquarius is ruled by the Planets Saturn and Uranus.
Powerful Saturn was considered the father of many gods in ancient Roman times, and was the original ruler of
Aquarius. Uranus is the oldest of the gods in Roman mythology; this Planet was discovered much later than
Saturn and was only more recently assigned to this Sign. The combination of these planetary energies is strong
and vibrant. Saturn's force field is that of the stern taskmaster, which is one reason why Aquarians love to think
and put their ideas out to the world.

They also love to think they're right! It's Uranus which instills Aquarians with their visionary spirit. If it's new,
radical and rebellious, Aquarians are all over it. The fact that these folks can think so creatively and inventively
is one of their greatest assets. Water Bearers are all about progress and technology -- they love the latest
gadgets, gewgaws, computers and next-generation technologies. Thanks to a genius which borders on insanity
(!), those born under this Sign have the unique ability to present ideas which will revolutionize the world. Their
approach in doing so may be unpredictable, impersonal and at times cold, but that's a mad scientist for you! The
Element associated with Aquarius is Air, and that means the rarefied air of the intellectual. Aquarians will
accomplish much with their broad and logical minds, entertaining complex and scientific ideas for the
betterment of all. That said, they are also artistic and inventive. It's all in the spirit of creating a better world,
hopefully one in keeping with their broad-minded beliefs. Aquarians believe that their offbeat, original
approach will win the day, and that new thought is what is needed to change the world. Those born under this
Sign are altruistic, humane people who are determined to make a difference. At play, Aquarians like to surround
themselves with lots of people, preferably family and friends. That said, if they don't know the 'players,' they
soon will! Baseball and tennis are fun for these folks (though they should be wary of weak ankles), although a
spirited match of water polo would also be nice. It's watery colors which Aquarians favor, a shiny silver or an
aqua blue. When it comes to love, Aquarians will also be playful, even flirtatious. While they play for keeps, it
won't necessarily feel that way, since these folks are the antithesis of jealous. The great strengths of the
Aquarius-born are their vision, intellect and humanity. They are determined to make the world a better place
and to help everyone they can along the way. They are truly the trailblazers of the Zodiac.

aquarius personality trait

THE BRIGHT SIDE

The Aquarius man or woman is usually very honest and forthright. These are his two greatest qualities. His
standards for himself are generally very high. He can always be relied upon by others. His word is his bond.
The Aquarian is perhaps the most tolerant of all the Zodiac personalities. He respects other people’s beliefs and
feels that everyone is entitles to his own approach to life. He would never do anything to injure another’s
feelings. He is never unkind or cruel. Always considerate of others, the Aquarian is always willing to help a
person in need. He feels a very strong tie between himself and all the other members of mankind. The person
born under this sign is almost always an individualist. He does now believe in teaming up with the masses, but
prefers going his own way. His ideas about life and mankind are often quite advanced. There is a saying to the
effect that the average Aquarian is fifty years ahead of his time. He is broadminded. The problems of the world
concern him greatly. He is interested in helping others no matter what part of the globe they live in. He is truly a
humanitarian sort. He likes to be of service to others. Giving, considerate, and without prejudice, Aquarians
have no trouble getting along with others.

THE DARKER SIDE

The Aquarian may be too much of a dreamer. He makes plans but seldom carries them out. He is rather
unrealistic. His imagination has a tendency to run away with him. Because many of his plans are impractical, he
is always in some sort of a dither. Others may not approve of him at all times because of his unconventional
behavior. He may be a bit eccentric. Sometimes he is so busy with his own thoughts, that he loses touch with
the realities of existence. Some Aquarians feel they are more clever and intelligent than others. They seldom
admit to their own faults, even when they are quite apparent. Some become rather fanatic in their views. Their
criticism of others is sometimes destructive and negative.

Friendship

Aquarians have the ability to make the highest type of friends offered by any of the Zodiacal people. They have
the gift for friendship, being neither jealous, possessive or too intense, but having a genuine interest in people
and human relationships. Aquarians are reasonable, just, generous in a sensible fashion, with an instinctive
knowledge of give and take, all of which are necessary to conduct a successful friendship. These people offer
uplifting intellectual companionship, and usually busing out the very best in those they give the fine gift of their
intimacy.

Aquarians are most discriminating, and while their interests are the least snobbish, they almost always choose
their intimates with the greatest care. Some of the loftiest friendships are within the scope of Aquarian natives.

Partnership

Aquarians make good partners. Many of the tempera mental blessings found in the Libra and Sagittarian make
up are also to be met with in Aquarians. They are progressive partners, for they seem to have a special insight
that guides them in scenting new trends. They themselves are very experimental, often adding some new
system, or inventing an improvement that has far-reaching business consequences. These people dislike
dissension, and always avoid acrimonious argument. They are scrupulously honest, and handle money,
especially other people's money, with the greatest care.The weaker Aquarian types do not always keep their
word. They exaggerate, and make impossible remises that they have no notion of keeping unless some lucky
accident helps them out.Vital Aquarians put their best efforts into a business that is not strictly commercial, but
has some quality of service, or advancement for the world at large in the program.

aquarius love characteristics

Aquarians are strongly independent and cannot bear to be tied down. Their firm views and opinions
can quickly change to obstinacy and stubbornness when provoked. Nevertheless, they are faithful and
supportive in the right relationship. They may become ensconsed in a committed relationship but need to
preserve their privacy and independence.

Honesty

Although they are naturally very straightforward, do not expect Aquarians to be clear-cut because they are often
very unpredictable, and will almost certainly keep their loved ones guessing. Not all Aquarians find it easy to
show their feelings, and they are often uncomfortable about the more romantic aspects of love.

Extrovert, entertaining, intelligent, and often very idealistic, Aquarians usually have many friends who play an
important role in their lives. Although they are very loyal and trustworthy, their partners may often become
jealous over the bond between an Aquarian and his or her friends. In some cases, their strong feelings and
attitudes can turn info insistence and tremendous arguments if aroused, which can make life difficult for their
partners.

Aquarians also often have difficulty in handling their own as well as other people's emotions, which may mean
that they sometimes ignore a partner's most intimate feelings and insecurities.

Free Spirit

Aquarians do not like showing their real feelings. An independent nature also means that they take their time to
settle in steady relationships. They find it hard to build up trust but will remain very faithful once a relationship
is established.

aquarius man and husband relationships

The Aquarian husband is the kindest and most generous of all the types. The generosity of the Leo
man and even the Aries man is advertised, but it is oppressive compared to the open-handed spirit, the giving
without thought of return or reward that is part of the character of the Aquarian husband.

Aquarian men are not ardent lovers; that is, not unless some other planetary configurations stimulate this urge.
But, since they are gracious, social, kindly people they accept marriage as part of the domestic scheme, and
cooperative as they are, make a great success of it. Their success consists of their own attitude, which
contributes a great deal toward harmony in the home.

They are considerate men perfect gentlemen in every way, treating their wives and family with the same
consideration and courtesy that they accord to strangers.

The drawback in their marital relationship appears to be their impersonality. Women seem to prefer the
possessive, somewhat selfish dominance of the more personal types to the broadminded attitude of the Aquarian
husband. His impersonality appears to many women like lack of interest, and, as self-centered wives, they want
the whole attention of their husband. It has been said that the Aquarians' universal interest, will one day be the
attitude of the entire world, but in the meantime, the domestic life of such men will be far more successful if
married to a highly intellectual woman, whose work in the world is as important as their own broad interests.

aquarius woman and wife relationships

The Aquarian woman is one of the highest of the Zodiacal types, but she does not slip into
matrimony with the ease of a sensitive little Cancer woman, or an insinuating Pisces woman, and yet the
Aquarian woman is better equipped for marriage than either of the two types mentioned.

She is better equipped in that she is a capable, intellectual woman, discerning, adaptable, and often very
talented. She has a man's ability to accomplish a day's work without grumbling or fatigue, and coupled with her
undoubted ability to be a good housekeeper, she is like the Sagittarian woman, a very fine companion.

She attracts people, and her easy, friendly manners make her home a social center. Her interests are apt to be
wide, and it never occurs to her to watch the husband's actions with suspicion, or try to check up on how he
spends his spare time. Naturally, she trusts him. Her own behavior is above reproach. Aquarian women are the
kindest in the world, and they would rather suffer themselves than create a condition from which some one else
might have grief and sorrow. However, basically, the Aquarian woman is unconventional, and should her urge
for a change of partners be sufficiently justified, she would make the change.

Emotionally, she is responsive, but her intellect rules her, and she is the most appreciated as a wife when
married to an intellectual man, whose work she can share, and who is able to use her undoubted abilities in his
own behalf.

aquarius man and woman love match

Aquarius Love Matches

Most compatible with Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Can be good with Pisces, Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn
A 50-50 chance with Cancer, Virgo
Doubtful with Taurus, Leo, Scorpio

Love Match : AQUARIUS with ARIES

Both of them live for tomorrow and have a common belief in themselves. Relationship between them is not
long lasting. Both love freedom and are ambitious, energetic, have similar interests - are friendly, courageous
and unemotional. Aries are selfish and short tempered while Aquarians are unpredictable and intractable. Both
have a dominating nature and want to lead. Depending on the mood Aquarians allow Aries to lead, otherwise
the major problem of conflicts may arise in their love life or marriage life. One doesn't feels secure with the
other one, may be due to their ego problems.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with TAURUS

Earth and Air sign does not make a good match as both are of confronting nature. Taurus is patient,
conservative, loving, careful and placid; Aquarius is friendly, innovative, independent, loyal and intellectual. It's
difficult for Taurus to bind Aquarius at home. Taurus looks for security and Aquarius for openness in a
relationship. Aquarius appreciates the stability of Taurus and Taurus appreciates his openness.
Love Match : AQUARIUS with GEMINI
Friendly and affectionate relationship takes place between these two mates. Both are friendly, independent,
intellectual and communicative. Inventive Aquarius makes good pair with versatile Gemini whose witty and
lively nature wins the heart of honest Aquarius. They are better friends and companions rather than passionate
lovers. The caring and humanitarian thoughts of Aquarius will find a suitable home with Gemini. Both suit each
other perfectly in any case.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with CANCER

Cancer is warm, conservative and sensitive; Aquarius is cool, social and extrovert. Cancer easily gets hurt by
Aquarius caustic humour and hates his sharing attitude. Aquarius is seduced by the Cancer's sensuality and
sensitivity. The relationship works well only after the differences between them have been overcome.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with LEO

Leo's ego often gets deflated By independent Aquarius. Both like to make friends, visit parties, be social and be
in touch of different people. Leo wants to dominate always which makes Aquarius impatient and irritable. Leo's
is drawn away by Aquarian good sense of humour. The pair of Sun and Uranus makes an excellent combination
that caters to the public. It's not a dull relationship but it is full of excitement, fun, intensity as well as good
uderstanding.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with VIRGO

Contrast between the two signs. It emphasizes a mental and intellectual affinity rather than a deep emotional
bond. Virgo is rational, intelligent, analytical and sometimes cool while Aquarius can be dispassionate,
detached, uninvolved. Virgo is careful, self-controlled and orthodox, but Aquarius can be unpredictable,
tempramental and unconventional at times

Love Match : AQUARIUS with LIBRA

They can share the pleasures together because Libra is the epitome of a personal lover where as Aquarius is the
universal lover, who needs to share the intrest and affection with others. AWhen Aquarius becomes aloof and
unpredictable, Libra uses tact and diplomacy rather than anger to handle the situation.Neither of them will make
impossible demands on the other. If Aquarius is allowed freedom by Libra it can be an excellent union.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with SCORPIO

Both strong willed and determined, so if they can channel their combined forces in to a common goal,great
achievements are possible. Scorpio is intensely emotional and naturally passionate whereas Aquarius likes to
feel free to share interests with many people. If Scorpio dominates there can be a clash, if the rift becomes
serious Aquarius can seperate quickly. Scorpio takes love as intensely presonal matter whereas it as Aquarius
treats it as universal love, unless this difference is understood clearly between the two, Scorpio Aquarius is too
impersional and detached and their combination will not flourish.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with SAGITARRIUS

There is a strong affinity between a Saggittarian and an Aquarian. Each makes a strong impact on the other and
also is willing to leave the other alone when necessary. Both have an independent streak and need freedom.
They will attract many people and share resulting pleasures and reciprocal benifits.
Love Match : AQUARIUS with CAPRICORN
The relationship will be subject to changes of moods, routine and attributes. Many personal readjustment will
have to be made on both sides although these may not be easy to achieve because Aquarius is independent and
stubborn about personal ideas while Capricorn can never fathom why Aquarius sometimes becomes
unpredictable and capricious. This behaviour undermines Capricorn desire for stability and security.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with AQUARIUS

Much will depend on which of the many facets of this sign each person reflects, but sooner or later, unusual,
suprising, changeable or disruptive conditions will affect the partnership.

Love Match : AQUARIUS with PISCES

An unusual combination. Both are different from most people and feel sometimes a misfit except with other
Aquarians and Piscens. There will be at least two sides to the combination, firstly , the superficial layers of
association appear to be quite ordinary and normal ; secondly the unseen, hidden interplay of psychological
forces make an obscure and highly complex relationships.

aquarius health food and diet

Aquarius' health habits： Aquarians are generally strong and healthy， with good
coordination， well shaped legs， and slender ankles. They tend to be very active mentally， more than they
are physically， and there is a slight tendency to put on weight if they are not careful. They tend to suffer from
circulatory problems， hardening of the arteries， anemia & low blood pressure. Aquarians need a healthy diet
to maintain vitality and to keep their weight at the perfect level. Aquarius people like to immerse themselves in
projects and activities， and that leaves little time for balanced meals. They are inveterate snackers， and often
eat the wrong things while on the run. Aquarius's cell salt is sodium chloride - common table salt.

Eat ： The best way is to absorb sodium chloride naturally， by eating the proper foods. These include ocean
fish， lobster， tuna， oysters， spinach， radishes， celery， cabbage， lettuce， corn， squash，
lentils， almonds， walnuts， apples， peaches， pears， lemons， and oranges. Aquarians should follow a
diet that limits fattening foods and is high in protein， like fresh fruits and vegetables & whole-grain breads.
Other foods that are very good for Aquarians are chicken， beets， broccoli， carrots， peppers， tomatoes，
strawberries， pineapple， pomegranates， figs， dates， brown rice， whole wheat， yogurt & natural
cheeses.

Don't Eat ： They should cut down on coffee， which can make them nervous. On the other hand they can try
herbal teas to relax.

aquarius children and parents

 The Children Of Aquarius ( January 2I to February 20 )

Aquarian children are very promising in many ways. They are not brilliant students, and book-learning along
routine lines burdens them. But they have a great interest in progressive accomplishment, the progress of the
world, or even of the small community in which they live, which is remarkable in a child who is more apt to be
self-centered, and thinks only of his or her own small pleasures. The Aquarian youngster is very different, in
that a child of either sex, but especially the serve in a big way, and think very little about them. This urge often
produces a genius in one way or another.

The duty of the parents in this case in this case is to make formal education attractive. If a person is to be a great
success in the world to day and offer the service that most Aquarians wish to give, it is necessary to start out
with at least the same advantages enjoyed by everyone else. Since a college education or its equivalent is quite
general, the Aquarian child should be induced to less the advantage of it, and since these are the most
reasonable of all children, and the most sincere in their efforts for advancement, they will accept all of the
school training that the parent thinks is necessary. In most cases everything that the parent expends on the
Aquarian son or daughter is well repaid. Aquarian children have a strong sense of obligation, and exert
themselves to be worthy of trust.

These children should be guided to keep promises and avoid delays. They are so enthusiastic that they often
promise what they cannot fulfill. Later in life, (if this habit develops), they get a reputation for exaggeration and
are not believed even when they are telling the truth. As children they procrastinate, and put off unpleasant
duties from day to day. This is perhaps a general fault with most types, but in the Aquarian, extreme good
nature gives them a tendency to be too lax. When they grow up, their work in the world in often important, and
even small weaknesses in a great character become a target for enemies.

The parents of the Aquarian child often have in their hands a potential genital genius, or at least a public
benefactor, and it is advisable to study the inclinations of the child with the greatest care.

The Aquarian Parents

The Aquarian parent (January 20 to February l8) of both sexes makes the ideal Parent. Aquarius is the human
Sign, and the qualities dominant in the sign-character are ideal for the development of children．These people
can guide and encourage children, spurring them on to excel, without boastfulness. The Aquarian can instill
in his or her children respect for the Parents' judgment. Children of Aquarian parents will ask advice fearlessly,
knowing that they Will never be unduly censured for possible mistakes. The Aquarian method of rearing
children is kind guidance and reason-able correction. These parents make every effort to engage the child's real
interest in studies and advancement, not merely stimulate his or her completive spirit. Children of this type of
parents are treated with great affection, but never mangled, devoured, or deluged With sentimentality. The
Aquarian always tries to create mental appreciation, believing that this will endue long after the emotional
effusions are spent.

aquarius constellation
The stars of Aquarius lie between those of Pisces and Capricornus along the ecliptic. To the north is the Great
Square of Pegasus, and to the south is the first-magnitude star Fomalhaut. Thus it is an important star group,
although it has only a few important stars. Its alpha star, Sadalmelik, is only at magnitude 3.2, and there are
only about 20 other stars brighter than fifth magnitude. However, some of these stars form asterisms, star
patterns such as the Water Jar, a trefoil (resembling the Mercedes-Benz symbol) of Pi, Gamma, and Eta-Aquarii
surrounding Zeta. This Y-shaped group lies to the east of Sadalmelik. Zeta-Aquarii is one of a number of
interesting double stars. It is a beautiful pair of fourth-magnitude stars separated by about 3 arcseconds. The
colors of the pair are given as pale green and pale yellow. Another star of note is R-Aquarii, a Mira-type
variable star which, over the space of a year, changes from a dim magnitude 11 to a magnitude of six.

There are three Messier objects in Aquarius, including M2 and M72, both globular clusters. M2 is one of the
better clusters and one which can be visible to a keen-eyed observer on a really dark night. In a small telescope
it becomes a ball of faint stars of magnitude 13. M73 is a rather unusual object among those listed by Messier. It
is only a small group of stars of similar magnitude that are possibly associated as a multiple-star system. It is
also referred to as NGC 6994. First observed in October 1780, M73 was described by Messier as three or four
small stars which look like a nebula at first sight?and contain little nebulosity.?Yet no photograph of M73 has
ever revealed nebulosity around these stars. The four stars form the shape of a Y, and their magnitudes range
from 10.5 to 12.0.

Two planetary nebulae take preeminence in a long list of other deep-sky objects in Aquarius. The Saturn
Nebula, when seen through a telescope, is a small blue-green dot that Lord Rosse thought looked like a ringed
planet.

The other, the Helix Nebula, NGC 7293, is the closest planetary nebula to us and occupies an area about half
the diameter of the full Moon. This marvelous deep-sky object can be seen in binoculars from dark skies. A
cloud of gas and dust ejected from a central star, it resembles a dim smoke ring. Planetary nebulae were named
by Sir William Herschel in 1785 because in telescope views they may resemble planets. About a thousand of
these shells of stars in their final stages of evolution from giants to dwarfs are known. The central stars are
usually blue in color with temperatures up to 400,000K.
The planet Neptune was discovered among the stars of Aquarius 154 years ago, in 1846, after its presence had
been predicted and calculated from irregularities in the orbit of Uranus. Aquarius is also the radiant location for
several meteor showers, including the Eta Aquarids of May, the North Delta Aquarids which peak on July 29,
the South Delta Aquarids which peak on August 13, and the lesser Iota Aquarids, also of Augus.

aquarius mythology

In many ancient cultures, including Babylonian, Egyptian and Grecian, there was a god known as the 'Water
Bearer' or 'Water Pourer.' Water is the bringer and sustainer of all life; therefore the force that made water rain
down from the heavens was among the most revered by ancient peoples. Water also represents the collective
unconsciousness - the sea of creation or consciousness.

Mesopotamia: associated with the eleventh sign, the eleventh month and the return of the deluge.

Babylonia: Aquarius represented an overflowing urn, and they associated this with the heavy rains which fell in
their eleventh month.

Persian, Syrian and Turkish languages call Aquarius the Water Bucket.

Egypt Mythology: the setting of Aquarius in the Nile caused its flooding. In Egyptian mythology, he pours
water into the Nile River at the season when the Nile normally overflows its banks, this brings the much needed
water to the farmlands bordering that great river. The Egyptians saw the constellation as Hapi the god of the
Nile.

The Arabs, dependent on the water of the rainy season, saw Aquarius as a bucket because their religion forbids
them from showing pictures of any living form.
India Mythology: Aquarius is the first sign of the zodiac in India, where its patron saint is Varuna. This ancient
god was originally the all-powerful lord of all the heavens and creator of the stars. But later he was looked on as
just god of the water who looked down on the Earth through the thousand eyes of the stars. From his throat
issued the seven streams of heaven. Varuna patrols his realm on a fabulous steed, half crocodile and half bird.
So he is quite able to patrol both the air and the sea. Around 3000 BC it was possible to observe the full moon
in this constellation every year around the time of the summer solstice, an event that was cause for celebration.
This time represented the triumph of the moon god, Chandra, when he reached his maximum splendor and was
drunk by the sun, Indra. Chandra was also identified with the magical drink of the gods, soma. With the sun
crossing the solstice and the lengthening of daylight, the evil god of darkness and drought, Vritra represented by
the constellation Hydra, was conquered. In India, the summer solstice corresponds with the return of the
monsoon season and water to the land.

Peru: associated with the entrance of the sun into the constellation of the Mother of the Waters.

Christians of 17th Century: Christians of 17th Century: associated the constellation with St. John the Baptist

Greece Mythology: In antiquity, Hera's daughter Hebe, goddess of eternal youth, was cup bearer to the gods.
Zeus replaced her with the handsome boy, Ganymede, after she spilled a flask of nectar. To further irritate Hera,
Zeus immortalized his favorite server with a heavenly constellation. This is the first indication of male
homosexuality in Greek literature.

Myth about Deucalion, the only man to survive the alleged Great Flood. The story of this flood is very similar
to the Judeo-Christian legend of Noah's Ark. It took place during the time named by Greek legend as the Iron
Age.

... As the story goes, during the Iron Age, humanity had become more savage than the wildest animals. Brother
fought against brother, sons killed fathers, and no one was safe on the roads or in their own home. Both men
and women were violent, bloodthirsty and utterly without morals. The words of the gods meant little or nothing
to them, and no one would repent for their sins. Zeus, despairing for humankind, sent a great flood upon the
earth. The flood destroyed all the people in the world - with the exception of Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha.
Zeus had noticed this couple during his last visit to Earth. They lived alone in a simple hut. They had almost no
food, and definitely had no material goods. Despite this, they fed Zeus, gave him shelter for the night and spoke
kindly to him, even though they had no idea that he was a god. They were the last godly people on Earth, so
Zeus allowed them to survive the flood. After it ended, he helped them to create a new race of men, which was
supposed to be stronger and better. Deucalion is known as the 'Water Bearer' because he not only lived through
the flood, but he helped to bring life to a new generation.

Greek Legend 1:

The water carrier represented by the zodiacal constellation Aquarius is Ganymede, a handsome Phrygian youth.
Ganymede was the son of Tros, king of Troy (according to Lucian, he was also son of Dardanus). While tending
his father's flocks on Mount Ida, Ganymede was spotted by Jupiter. The king of gods became enamored of the
boy and flew down to the mountain in the form of a large bird, whisking Ganymede away to the heavens. Ever
since, the boy has served as cupbearer to the gods.

Greek Legend 2:

Ganymede was an exceptionally handsome, young prince of Troy. He was spotted by Zeus, who immediately
decided that he would make a perfect cup-bearer. The story then differs - one version telling how Zeus sent his
pet eagle, Aquila to carry Ganymede to Olympus, another that it was Zeus, himself, disguised as an eagle, who
swept up the youth and carried him to the home of the gods. In either case, once Ganymede arrived, he had to
contend with the wrath of Hera, wife of Zeus. She was annoyed on two counts - firstly, that her husband should
have such strong feelings for a mere boy and, secondly, that Ganymede was to occupy the favoured position
previously held by her own daughter Hebe, goddess of youth. But Zeus was not to be thwarted and Ganymede,
often riding on Aquila and always carrying the golden cup, accompanied the great god on his travels,
impressing him with his kindness. This was made manifest when, realising how in need of water the people on
earth were, he pleaded with Zeus to be allowed to help them and was given permission to send down rain.
Eventually he was glorified as Aquarius, god of rain, and placed amongst the stars.

Greek Legend 3:

Zeus was the Water Bearer. Although he was the god of many things, one of his most important roles was as the
god of storms. The constellation Aquarius could have originally been representative of Zeus as the Water
Bearer.

aquarius symbols and different aquarius symbols

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) is the eleventh sign of the ZODIAC. Sometimes symbolized by a pair of
undulating or zigzag horizontal lines, representing water, the pictorial symbol for the astrological sign is also
sometimes a man pouring water out of an urn. While all the astrological signs have certain psychological and
behavioral associations for people born during their intervals (for example, Aquarians might be characterized as
social, intelligent, and humanistic to the extreme of superficiality, dissociation, and imitative behavior), the sign
of Aquarius has also become a symbol of the New Age movement and humanitarianism. That association might
be derived from the water that Aquarius pours over the earth -- interpreted as the water of awareness.

Compatibility of Aquarius the sign of the Zodiac

Aquarius are born between Janaury 21st and February 19th

Aquarius and Capricorn love compatibility

Both signs have a strong sense of self, but Aquarius wants to be free and Capricorn wants to dominate. They
will find out soon that their romance has turned into a friendship. it is uneasy for the Capricorn to cope with the
Aquarius in intimate affairs. The Aquarius is a inventive, free-will person. He/she can't long be in love with the
practical Capricorn. Aquarius is continually on the go and likes to spend money. Capricorn considers that
frivolous and tries to impose strict controls. Aquarius may go through a number of jobs, searching for the right
challenges but Capricorns' need for financial security is so strong that this will horrify him/her. This is not a
satisfactory connection, and marriage will require efforts.
Aquarius and Aries love compatibility
This connection will be stormy and will bring a lot of new emotions. There is a chance that the Aries will be
dominating, as the Aquarius is more passive. The planet Uranus, which rules Aquarius, is unpredictable in its
actions; therefore, Aquarians have a tendency to procrastinate too much to please the Arien "up and at ' em"
characteristics. If both sides try a bit of tact & understanding, this great love affair could turn into something
special. The Aries must be very tactful if he/she wants to deal with this extremely emotional dreamer. In
bedroom Aquarius, while jealous and possessive of his/her partner, rarely overindulges activities as he/she has
far more things to do and be engrossed in; therefore he/she is not as sexually active as Aries would like, and
Aries will come to see Aquarius as a selfish lover. It is unusual, complete of events connection. In case of
marriage a lot will be depending on how much they love each other.

Aquarius and Cancer love compatibility

Fun-loving Aquarius will be too unpredictable for a vulnerable Cancer. The Cancer is usually more open and
steady than Aquarius who inclined to find new adventures. Aquarians love to share their life stories with the
world while Cancer is satisfied to concentrate on personal obligations. Cancer have a conservative taste;
Aquarius taste are usually the opposite. The Cancer's needs can't remain unsatisfied. Aquarius tends to exempt
him/herself from the emotional requirements. They are able to find common language in bedroom for some
time, though they will not sustain this partnership in a drawing room for a long time. The eccentricity of Uranus
does not go well with the moods of Luna. Odds against this combination are too great for this combination,
unless one will become subservient to the other.

Aquarius and Libra love compatibility

They should suit each other perfectly . Warm, sensual Libra joins with enthusiasm in Aquarius's erotic fun and
games. Also, diplomatic Libra knows must how to get around Aquarius's quirky stubborn streak. Libra is
waiting for a support from the Aquarius in this life full of adventures. They both like to live in a society and will
participate in public affairs. They have a lot of friends, however they do not forget their own interests. While
there are some aspects of their personalities that will irritate the other they will find it easier than most signs to
compromise. The opinions of others mean very little to Aquarius he/she cannot understand how Libra can be
wounded by a cruel remark from someone else and will possibly feel that Libra is being over sensitive. They
will be happy together, even without perfect sex. This is a sensual connection and a good forecast for the
conjugal relations.

Aquarius and Taurus love compatibility

Aquarius's careless attitude toward love will baffle and finally enrage highly passionate Taurus, who doesn't
want someone just to play with. The Aquarius is inclined to analyze everything and not very interested in
getting pleasure from making love. The Aquarius would rather prefer to talk, but the sensual Taurus will not be
satisfied with such type of love. Taurus will seem to be too requiring for the Aquarius. These two are stubborn
in very different ways: Aquarius refuses to be conventional, while Taurus rigidly adheres to the values of family
and security. Aquarius is interested in humane concerns; Taurus is single minded about itself and its
possessions. Aquarius puts a low emphasis on sex and places it far down on the list of necessities. This attitude
could cause Taurus some major upsets as he/she will not be able to accept the problems of the whole world
sharing his/her bed, which could cause Taurus to become over demanding in Aquarius' eyes.

Aquarius and Leo love compatibility

Leo can't get the cooperation or the admiration it requires, and Aquarius resents Leo's attempt to rule. They
have different views of independence: to Aquarius it means freedom to explore new horizons; to Leo it means
pursuing a glamorous, extravagant lifestyle. Aquarius is interested in the world; Leo is strictly interested in Leo.
Their sexual life will be unsatisfactory for Leo as Aquarius can and will find others that capture their interests
and this will frustrate Leo, causing Leo to think that his/her mate is inhuman and uncaring. While these two will
be attracted to one another, they are zodiac opposite which means that it can be bad as well as good connection.
Aquarius and Scorpio love compatibility
This combination usually ends up getting into unpleasant terms after a little time. Fueled by Scorpio's volatility
and Aquarius's imaginativeness, sex is quite out of the ordinary. But Aquarius is turned off by Scorpio's
powerful and jealous passions, and Scorpio is upset by Aquarius's unpredictable moods. Aquarius constantly
participates in numerous public affairs. Scorpio can't bend the Aquarius to his/ her will, because of Aquarius'
love of freedom. The Aquarius is extremely sociable. The Scorpio is reserved. The happiness in bed will not
help this couple to be happy together. Let everyone go their own way.

Aquarius and Gemini love compatibility

Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, is full of surprises and sudden changes. This will suit the Gemini
perfectly. Gemini are capable to subordinate to the Aquarius' will. There will be a lot of pleasant things in a
bedroom though the lack of passions is also possible. The changeable Gemini are easily influenced by the
Aquarius' constant pressure. They love to socialize, they have a wide range of outside activities, and neither is
particularly jealous or proprietary. Sexual attraction with them is likely to be intense, as Aquarius finds Gemini
to be very attractive physically. This couple will be fine bed-mates and fascinating friends. It is an interesting
connection which may turn into a charming marriage.

Aquarius and Virgo love compatibility

Both are mental signs rather than emotional, but Virgo looks on the darker side of life while Aquarius is
imaginative and optimistic. There is no strong sexual attraction between them. Aquarius needs activity, social
events, a wide circle of acquaintances. Virgo enjoys a quiet existence with a few close friends. There will be
neither especially strong excitation, nor interesting erotic games. The sober, practical Virgo is inclined to
criticize the Aquarius' generosity. Their goals are very different: Aquarius wants to be as brilliant as possible;
Virgo wants to be as efficient as possible. The marriage is possible in case they both have strong feelings
towards each other.

Aquarius and Sagittarius love compatibility

The combination usually has a great chance for success. These two are so innovative about lovemaking that
they ought to charge admission. In addition, they inspire each other intellectually, for Aquarius has far-out,
inventive ideas and Sagittarius is optimistic and visionary. They both are unpredictable, active and cheerful.
They both like making love. They have rich imagination and they are full of interesting fantasies. They love to
be the center of everyone's attention. Usually they are interesting people which are not suffering from jealousy.
There is a very good chance for a successful relationship. Many of their values are alike and their need to be
outgoing and sociable is inherent in both of these people. Aquarius and Sagittarius both understand the need to
let the other be when they need their freedom.

Aquarius and Aquarius love compatibility

They are perfectly compatible with each other. They are both inventive in love. However, there are no deep
feelings between them . They are both too rational, reasonable and moderate for deep and strong feelings. There
are many personal interests. Given, that they are unsuited physically, they will not find this odd or a reason to
allow hostilities into their relationship, for sex does not play a big role in either ones life as they are easily
distracted by daily happenings and other peoples problems. In general it promises to be a peasant connection
and reliable marriage as a result.

Aquarius and Pisces love compatibility

In case Pisces study the Aquarian horoscope , this may not be a bad combination. But usually their sexual
affinity turns into a war with elements of a melodrama. The sensitive Pisces dependent on the Aquarius too
much and constantly demanding the proofs of his/her love. The Aquarius feels depressed. The Pisces is a highly
complex personality that must be the center of attention in his/her lovers life, and this is disheartening to
Aquarius who believes in developing individuality. Pisces can have deep bouts of depression and if he/she
perceives that Aquarius is unsympathetic to these he/she may cut Aquarius off completely and make his/her
own private decision about their life together. This connection seems to be promising at first , but it will never
get into a happy marriage.
