Our quirky Aquarius folk are rather unconventional when it comes to pretty much anything. Always thinking outside the box, their progressive minds are focused firmly on the future. The Aquarius way can often be quite radical, they have a rebellious nature which doesn’t mind breaking rules. 

They are often so far out in their thinking that others just think they’re cuckoo, truth is that they’re just way ahead of their time. In fact, they sometimes have spontaneous flashes of brilliance that are nothing short of genius. They’re a bit like the eccentric scientist in the Back to the Future movie, the loopy one who created a time machine.

Aquarius is known to be the humanitarian of the zodiac, they can’t bear to see injustice in the world and will actively support the various causes that are close to their heart. Some might say that Aquarius cares more about their outer circles than they do their more personal relationships. 

They’re not the most emotional sign and often appear detached and aloof, hence their reputation for being a bit cold but this isn’t necessarily the case. Aquarius cares deeply about their partner, it’s just that they’re fiercely protective of their independence. Physically, Aquarius can be a very passionate and adventurous lover - that out of the box thinking can translate into some experimental and quite frankly, kinky bedroom antics.

Ruled by volatile Uranus the planet of change, Aquarius can be quite changeable themselves, particularly when it comes to their interests. One minute they’re learning the art of origami and the next minute they’re training to climb Kilimanjaro. These guys are pretty unpredictable so it’s hard to know what they’ll be up to next.

This unpredictability can also make for inconsistency and a lack of focus which can sometimes take them off course. There’d be no point trying to point this out, though. Aquarius tend to think that they know everything about everything and when they think they’re right (basically all the time) they won’t budge an inch. Their stubbornness is unmatched by anyone, except maybe Taurus (I said maybe).
