Aquarius in Combined Astrology
Those born under the Western Zodiac sign of Aquarius are imaginative, intuitive, and philanthropic. They often see themselves both as individuals and as a part of the greater whole of humanity. Aquarians tend to polarize themselves and others with their directness and the philosophies they live by. Aquarians fall into two categories - those who are gentle, quiet, and sensitive, and those who are loud, lively, and exuberant. These may seem like opposite traits for a single sign to hold, but there are many more commonalities between Aquarians that tie them together with others of their same sign.
All Aquarians value reason and logic and only under extreme circumstances (such as when they dogmatically believe in proving a point so strongly that they are willing to throw rationality aside to prove their point). This is a challenging sign to figure out for some because of their seemingly contradictory natures. They are naturally independent yet humanitarian. They typically enjoy people but also need time to themselves. They are artistic and imaginative, yet can take these same traits and apply them to logic and come out with new and fresh ideas.
Aquarians can also come off as know-it-alls sometimes, and don’t always do what they say they are going to. The reason is that they want to reserve the right to change their mind so they can always do what feels right in the moment. Others may have a hard time understanding this and Aquarians can come across as selfish, judgmental, and even even rude or hateful. Aquarians need meditation time to gather and understand their thoughts, especially since they live a lot of their waking life on autopilot.
Aquarius in Combined Astrology
Combined Astrology is the merging of the 12 signs of the Western zodiac with the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac. I find it a very interesting and accurate form of Astrology and it is perhaps the type that I know the best. Most people are always fascinated when they read their combined sign for the first time. It really does help define who you are, questions that you may have had about yourself that your normal astrological sign hadn’t been able to answer completely can normally be answered using this method. Almost everyone knows there western sign, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, etc but not everyone knows about there Chinese sign.
Unlike the western signs, which are taken from the date of your birth, Chinese astrology is more concerned with the year of your birth and each sign begins on the Chinese New Year. There are 12 animals, The Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Each sign comes around every 12 years, for example I was born in 1978 which was the year of the Horse. The next Horse year after that was in 1990, 12 years later.
The 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac affect Aquarius in different ways. The following analyses show the difference between different kinds of Aquarius.
