 You are the most independent sign of the zodiac, Aquarius! Ruled by original, unpredictable Uranus, you are often perceived as eccentric due to your detached, often distant nature. Aquarians usually know a variety of people, yet are essentially loners who enjoy spending free time absorbed in innovative activities. Due to your innate self-sufficiency, you usually have difficulty forming close relationships. Your friends are important to you, however, as Aquarius is a very sympathetic sign. Aquarius' penetrating mind is addicted to new ideas. Beware of adhering to information without sufficient knowledge of the facts, as your tendency to cling to exciting  arguments may turn into unattractive dogmatism. Stubbornness may lead to problems with authority figures. You will be happiest when you've learned to bend a bit; flexibility will help you gain acceptance in the world.
Extremely unmaterialistic, Aquarius is interested in money not for status or power but for its ability to buy time: freedom from worldly expectations. This is especially important if your job doesn't provide you with the means to express your inventive approach to life or stifles your humanitarian concerns. Despite your independent nature, you function well in a group, often assuming a leadership role to ensure the realization of an organization's goals. Although this quality is valued in a number of professions, your idealism lends itself most happily to situations where you are able to achieve social change. Also, because Uranus rules the cutting edge of technological advancement, you are well-suited for computer-related occupations. Intimacy is difficult for Aquarians. You fear don't fear closeness, but your penchant for doing things your own way is a barrier to committed partnerships. You are open and honest, though, and love to present your thoughts to others. Because your ideas are so fresh, you need a partner who not only respects your need to go off by yourself, but who is also willing to tolerate a certain amount of weirdness! Loyal friendship is far more important than romance; Aquarians almost never enter into relationships on the basis of sexual attraction alone. Tempestuous affairs are also not in keeping with your distant nature. Emotional scenes turn you off, and you will have little trouble shaking off a potential lover who seems even the slightest bit unstable. Many Aquarians never form committed partnerships simply because they seem like too much trouble. This is unfortunate, as you really stand to benefit from intimate, flexible, interesting commitments for the balance they provide to your solitary ways. Healthy, close relationships help translate eccentricity into innovation and rigidity into conviction, ensuring the successful realization of your humanitarian nature.
