According to Sandy

The symbol for the 11^th sign of the Zodiac is the “Water Bearer”, don’t be confused, Aquarius is definitely an Air sign ruled by the unpredictable, unconventional, undeniably radical Uranus. It’s all about independence, resentment for all “ties that bind”, sudden changes of direction and thinking “outside of the box”.  What a way to start the New Year!

Aquarians tend to be more intellectual than emotional, with a stubborn streak (it is one of three “Fixed” signs of the Zodiac, along with Taurus and Scorpio).  This determination often shows up when it involves tackling group issues. Their concern for others is authentic – they care, they are involved and they persevere to find resolutions to problems that touch the community. Contributing to the universe is a given.

Take advantage of this energy regardless of your own Zodiac sign. Fill in some of that blank 2012 calendar with plans for purposeful action  – find a cause, volunteer, organize a neighborhood, leave a place better than you how found it. Enjoy people, support them, inspire and whip them into shape! Make a difference.

Risking, being on the edge, or ledge, is often part of the Aquarian way of being in the world – sounds intense, but it’s done with humor. Their essence is great to spread around especially when there are important, life changing concerns to address. If you’re intent upon enrolling people into saving the world, you might as well have fun doing it.

Sun into Aquarius – Friday January 20, 2012, 11:10 am Eastern/ 8:10 am Pacific

On Thursday, January 20, the Sun group hugs its way into adventure loving, independent, “outside the box” Aquarius (5:19AM Eastern / 2:19AM Pacific). Some get confused since the symbol for the 11^th sign of the Zodiac is the “Water Bearer”, but this is definitely an Air sign ruled by unpredictable, unconventional, change loving Uranus. Communication is key.

Aquarians tend to be more intellectual than emotional, with a concern for others that is authentic and matter of fact. A stubborn, people oriented sign, it is about “We/Us” rather than “I/Me”.  They care, they are involved and can be pretty determined to find resolutions to issues that touch them. Regardless of your birthday, we can all tap into those vibrations as the Sun intensifies this sign’s traits.

Taking risks, being on the edge, or ledge, is often part of their way of being in the world – sounds intense, but it’s done with humor. Aquarians are great to have around – which makes great sense.  If you’re going to spend time enrolling people into saving the world with you, you might as well have fun doing it.

The action packed, high energy planet Mars entered Aquarius on January 15, 2011.  As it transits this group focused sign, take advantage of all that power – volunteer, organize a community, find a cause, leave some place better than you found it. Enjoy the interaction.
