Aquarius

This is a toughie because I'm an Aquarius so anything I tell you is suspect. But read it anyway.

Aquarius is the water bearer but is not a water sign. Aquarius is an air sign and I'm sure if more people knew this we could avoid a lot of pain and suffering in the world. We're often accused of being heartless and robotic, when the truth is we are mostly distracted and unsentimental. You can hurt our feelings very easily but your average Aquarius will do anything to avoid letting you know that.

We're a friendly bunch really, but don't mistake those pertinent questions, encouraging sounds and nodding heads to indicate any actual interest in you, think of it more as a recruitment interview. We're always plotting world domination so really the only question we need answered is "are you with us or against us?"

If you know any of our tribe, you think we're all flaky dreamers who wouldn't know the real world if it jumped up and smacked us in the face. Well, as Albert Einstein said, "reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one". Far from being unrealistic, I think you will find that Aquarius is very willing to embrace any kind of reality. Not to spoil the famous list that I'll post in two weeks, but Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King were both Aquarius and look what they achieved by re-arranging reality.

Okay so we're not 100% wonderful. We can be deliberately awkward; we're stubborn as all hell; we start stupid fights and then refuse to back down from them. We're the tribe that would cut off our noses just to spite our own faces. We zig where we should zag and will do whatever it takes to thwart your expectations. We're our own worst enemies but if you can overlook the spacey behaviour and the bizarre wardrobe, we can be a good friend.
