I WAS TOLD I AM A TRUE AQUARIAN!!!SO I GUESS I..possess a strong and attractive personality. I am exuberant, lively and an exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depth of my character under a cloak of frivolity. I'm strong willed and forceful in my ways and have strong convictions, though as I seek truth above all things, I'm usually honest enough to change my opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades me that I have been mistaken. I have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently I am unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because I can see the validity of the argument, even if I do not accept it myself. I obey the Quaker exhortation to "Be open to truth(what the hell does this mean???), from whatever source it comes," and I'm prepared to learn from everyone.I am humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. I'm quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and I express myself with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.I am intelligent, concise, clear and logical. I'm strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive.I have the need to retire from the world at times and to become a temporary loner. I appreciate opportunities for meditation. Even in company I am fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. I dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on my own terms.In spite of my often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality, and of my desire to help humanity, I don't make friends easily. I sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to me.I do not give myself easily - perhaps my judgment of human nature is too good for that - and I am sometimes accounted cold. But once I decide that someone is worthy of my friendship or love, I can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will myself become a tenacious friend or lover, ready to sacrifice everything for my partner and be faithful to her for life. However, I rarely get attached emotionally because my high personal ideals cause me to demand more of others than is reasonable. And if I am deceived my anger is terrible. If disillusioned, I do not forgive.Among the faults to which I am liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in my opinions. I may express a lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning. Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse, a tense, threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative side of the Aquarian. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind.( OOOH, scary shit!!! )
