Being An Aquarius

Personality 1

Aquarians basically possess strong and
attractive personalities. They fall into two
principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle, and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the
considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken.

They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is
because they can see the validity of the
argument, even if they do not accept it
themselves. They obey the Quaker
exhortation to "Be open to truth, from
whatever source it comes, and are prepared to learn from everyone."

Both types are humane, frank, serious
minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality.

They are quick, active, and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation, and sometimes a dry humor. They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear, and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive.

Both types need to retire from the world at
times and to become temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd.

They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on their own terms. Normally they have good taste in drama, music, and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama. In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming, and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. They sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to them. They do not give themselves easily—perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life.
