Aquarius is a bright and quite intelligent sign, although it has a crazed, unruly side, that is willing to experiment with anything. It is quite restless, and tends to be socially active. This sign is usually very opinionated, and it can be a feat just to change their minds.
Although they often consider themselves as misunderstood geniuses, other signs may find some madness in their ways. It is true that they bring something very innovative, perhaps unheard of, as they are highly experimentative and original. They usually have a strong independent streak, and may sometimes take a contrarian approach, just to be different. These individuals tend to play by their own rules, and do not appreciate being urged otherwise. That said, critical locations in the 4th house may counterbalance this by making them more family-minded.
There is a very distinct way of looking at things, an originality which cannot be duplicated. Nevertheless, it does tend to gravitate toward fantastic theories and opinions, and as such some earthiness in the chart would serve it well. It tends to be critical towards society, sometimes even secretly enamored with anarchy. Its criticisms usually center around interpersonal relationships. Being rather unsentimental and progressively-minded, this sign usually has a dislike of insipid, banal or ordinary things.
There are some tendencies toward humanism in this sign, especially with Neptune influences, although the chilly, airy nature of this sign can make it inconsistent in this domain and nevertheless come to act in a cold, calculated manner, especially when annoyed.
There's often a lack of tact in this sign, as it is not as subtle and cautious as other signs may be, although Saturn can counterbalance this some. On the other hand, it is often quite bold. There's some childishness there, and often an exciting and enthusiastic element which most people find endearing, especially when both the sun and Mercury are in this sign.
It can be a bit emotive and unpredictable at times. It has a certain tendency to misjudge other people's intentions and motivations. It usually does not take well to criticism, often taking it too personally and making a scene, although Saturn may alleviate this some. Naturally, its experimental nature often comes at the expense of responsibility and caution, which often fuels such external criticisms. This sign may tend to conspiracy theories.
Their privacy is quite important to them and they usually dislike any unapproved encroachment.
