The “dawning of the Age of Aquarius” is a phrase many people know thanks to the power of music. Originally written for the stage rock opera “Hair,” “Aquarius” saw widespread popularity when it was covered by the group The 5th Dimension in 1969. The song tells of an age when harmony, understanding, and sympathy rule supreme. The song itself is mainly filled with nonsense, but the general idea does hit close to those born between January 20th and February 18th, who fall under the astrological sign of Aquarius, known as aquarians.
Represented by a water-bearer, Aquarians are considered to be touched by both greatness and madness. Take a look at some of these fun facts about those born under this sign and learn a bit about them.
Communication and Laughter
Aquarians are thought of as being especially great communicators. This is because they often feel like they have a solid grasp over what is happening around them and have no trouble putting these observations into words. The average person born under this sign is likely to spend most of his or her life observing and analyzing everything around. Unfortunately, this also means Aquarians are likely to be far more blunt and honest than others, as they base what they say on their observations rather than assumptions.
Though Aquarians are excellent communicators in some ways, they will not always freely share their more complex thoughts or feelings about various situations. Though friendly, those born under this sign are also fiercely protective of their inner worlds and will not always allow others in. One guaranteed way to make a lasting impression on an Aquarius? Laughter. Making one of these individuals laugh is a sure sign your presence is appreciated. An Aquarian is likely to know whether or not he or she likes you within a few minutes of your first meeting and will rarely change how he or she feels afterward.
Independence
Independence is incredibly important to Aquarians. Trying to control their actions is a losing battle, and one that may see a great deal of retaliation. It is rare that an Aquarian doesn’t like a person outright. Unfortunately, the opinions are usually lasting. This means one who dislikes you for trying to control his or her actions is likely never going to trust you again or, more likely, never going to acknowledge your existence again unless he or she has to. People with this sign will generally not let anyone or anything bring them down.
On the other side of things, Aquarians are also incredibly fierce when it comes to protecting their friends. When one likes you, he or she will never judge your actions and will make sure those who do are dealt with swiftly. Relationships can be tricky, however, as an Aquarius is always looking for a person who will help make vulnerability a safe experience. If you can handle a person who needs to go about life in his or her own unique way, then an Aquarius can be a fantastic romantic partner.
Opinionated to the Nth Degree
Finally, it is important to understand the average Aquarian has a very difficult time keeping his or her mouth shut when a personal opinion is involved. Even if it means getting into serious trouble, the person will likely share what is on his or her mind. This is because he or she does not care about societal norms, rules, laws, regulations, or what is taboo. If the Aquarian has something to say, it will be said to whomever needs to hear it.
Destined for greatness or madness, the Aquarian is an individual who can be difficult to understand at first glance. Still, when he or she decides to let you in, the connection can bring about some truly transformative feelings within you.
