Introduction: Characteristics of Aquarius

There are two primary kinds of Aquarians. One type is quiet, introspective and gentle. The other is exuberant and lively, craving of attention. While these two different types are quite separate, they cross over on a number of different personality traits. For example, both Aquarians are honest. Also, both types of Aquarians have a keen, almost uncanny ability to understand and empathize with others. As such, Aquarians often consider having their own point of view on something less important than being able to understand where all parties are coming from.

However, given their acute sense of empathy, many Aquarians feel the need to withdraw to a safe distance from time to time and can often be seen as loners in social settings. While this is not a deliberate attempt to distance others, Aquarians should be careful not to push their friends and acquaintances too far.

Love

Despite this periodic need to be alone, Aquarians make great lovers with keen awareness for their significant other’s feelings and moods. As an Aquarian, you might be inclined to not only register and understand your spouse’s mood, but to react and change your behavior to suit their needs.

Aquarians should be wary of being too flexible in relationships and be willing to state and pursue their own needs. While it is important to keep other people happy, it is not worth the cost of being unhappy yourself.

Finance

When it comes to money, Aquarians often take the safest possible routes. Their forte is often in working with people and machines. They should pursue safe investment opportunities.

If you are an Aquarius, you might consider investing in:

Slow growing, reliable stocks
Bonds and savings accounts
Retirement accounts including 401Ks and IRAs

Career

Aquarians work best with people and machines. Their knack for dealing with people in diplomatic ways makes them to be especially suited for social work and business.

Their knack for machines and technology lends itself to very different but similarly challenging careers.

Some possible career paths may include being a:

Teacher
Businessman
Technical service representative
Engineer
Scientist
Writer

Just beware you don’t withdraw too far lest you break some of the connections you’ve worked so long to forge.
