Born under the eleventh sign of the Zodiac, the Aquarian is most noted for "raging against the machine" with a constant longing for freedom from the staid ways of polite society.
While remaining clear-eyed and practical, they idealistically follow their own star and are most admirable for championing the underdog and exhibiting an open-minded tolerance for people in all walks of life.
Basically friendly and affable, Aquarians typically fall into two personality types, one shy and self-effacing, and the other more vocal and extraverted.
Both possess strong personal integrity and hold definite opinions of right and wrong as they abjectly refuse to follow the crowd.
All Aquarians may seem cold and aloof at first, but once they let their defenses down they can be the most inspiring and entertaining of friends.
Negative aspects of the Aquarian personality profile resemble those of
Scorpio, whose anger may boil over into vengefulness whenever they feel they have been wronged.
Railing against the ills of society, Aquarians may also in extreme cases tend toward radical and dangerous eccentricity as they completely detach from a world they no longer wish to understand.
The more outgoing Aquarian is noted for a certain flair for drama, and may excel as an expert mimic or character actor.
Teaching, medical research, social work, the arts, or any type of work in which they can help advance society as a whole often proves to be promising career paths for the progressive Aquarian.
