AQUARIUS
Mythology of Aquarius
In the zodiac Aquarius is very much linked to the different Promethean myths, which imply each time a direct confrontation of man with the gods, a revolt, a protest, a regaining of power.
Ouranos is a primordial deity, representing the undifferentiated sky, the primordial hydrogen at the root of all the other elements, but which seeks to fight perpetually to preserve its hegemonic, unitary state and to restrain the forces of division.
Here’s an artistic vision of the Aquarius constellation.

Aquarius Psychology in everyday life and at work
Aquarius symbolizes the easing of winter and the cold : the energy of the Night-Force decreases and the circle of life is resting for the winter but gets ready to return as the energy of Day-Force comes back towards equilibrium.
Idealistic, filled with an energy of fusion, hope, creativity, inventiveness, and evolution, they are agents of fraternity in the zodiac cycle.
Aquarius is optimistic, curious, unconventional, creative, good at communicating, and eccentric when they want to be, but they are also often visionary pioneers and fantastic trailblazers in their field !
Aquarians are very partial to novelty, modernity, and everything that seems to them to be ahead of society, which often includes all of the little gadgets that you could possibly imagine.
Of a fiercely free, independent and even rebellious nature, they have a swift intuition, terrific intelligence, a sharp mind, a thirst for knowledge, and magnetic charisma. Their excessive, strong personality, their frankness, and their tactlessness make them similar to Sagittarians in some ways !
Aquarians are at ease in various fields of science, philosophy, and the arts; their creativity, imagination, and versatility constantly amaze others. They like to use their talents to serve others. Their sensitive character steers them towards opportunities for altruism, selflessness, charity, generosity, and benevolence. They have not but one step to take to reach a sudden spiritual enlightenment !
Aquarius in love : are you compatible ?
Aquarians are cerebral, independent, and original, and their use of these qualities in their love life is what gives them success there !
Their talkative nature and their extraordinary sociability (they are an air sign, after all) mean that they readily form friendships, especially if they have things in common with the other person, but when it comes to relationships they are much more serious, showing themselves to be sincere and thoughtful. All they really need is for their freedom to be respected (and they grant complete freedom to their partner as well).
Magnetic, charismatic, and good people, they easily attract a plethora of suitors, although, paradoxically, they may be shy and unapproachable.
When in a relationship, they like novelty, inventiveness, originality, surprises, innovation, and spontaneous adventures. Aquarians are not afraid of change, including quick and sudden changes, even when it comes to a break-up. They quickly turn the page to get their precious freedom back and allow themselves to explore new horizons using their intuition.
Like Gemini, Aquarians are searching for a versatile partner who can take on the roles of best friend, lover, and family member. To them, the friendship aspect may even be what is most meaningful because affectivity passes by a perfect complicity in a romantic relationship.
How to seduce Aquarius : sharpen their mind, show them your most original and marginal, offbeat sides, your abilities to reform society.
What repels Aquarius : anything too traditionalist, passéist, sclerotic and sclerosing personalities, unable to adapt easily to their rhythm and versatility.
