As an idealist Aquarians would like to see that everybody is happy and their ambition is to do something important and meaningful. Many Aquarians go into politics or become involved in social causes. Whatever their political persuasions, however, they've been given special gifts for rallying the masses. As symbolized by the human Waterbearer, they bring a refreshing, positive message of community, of hope, and of progress. As the Fixed sign of the Airy creatures, they don't just talk about ideas. They will do something with their ideas, especially when they can serve mankind. This is the astrological sign of the future, of the visionary, of hopes and wishes; they are the kind who follows a dream.The Aquarius lover is full of surprises. They simply cannot be happy or fulfilled unless they are free to do as they like. No matter how deeply in love an Aquarius may be, they are never willing to sacrifice their autonomy, but they always put honesty ahead of romance.The Aquarius friend tends to collect friends the way some people put together an eclectic art collection. The typical Aquatian may have so many friends, but very few confidants. Some Aquarians may use this as a way to maintain emotional distance. In general, Aquarius likes a friend who has intellectual interests and enjoys the unusual and the radical. Aquarius will be friendly toward anyone and will tend to regard any relationship as platonic.
