Happy Birthday, Aquarius! Brilliant, unique and youthful well into your later years, your ability to predict future trends makes you one of the most valuable players and contributors in fast-paced business and creative endeavors. Your unique interpretation of the world sets you apart. Others look toward the sky and see clouds, but you see layers of magical, miraculous possibilities. The way you express thoughts and emotions is often through striking, provocative artistic mediums. You refuse to be limited to only one style, technique or vision. Your curiosity swells like a rogue wave and coerces you to constantly seek the new and untried. Even if you don't view yourself as an inventor or pathfinder, you are. Pause and consider some of your past theories and ventures. It's no accident that others imitate your example. Because you're way ahead of the curve, the general public may occasionally overlook your remarkable concepts. Never destroy your ideas. If at first you don't succeed, save your brilliant work for a more receptive audience. Your genius tends to move at least five years ahead of others' slo-mo herd instinct. You tend to be high strung, and can feel anxious, breathless or inexplicably fearful from time to time - as if your body has a slightly faster rhythm than that of ordinary mortals. Keep body, soul and mind in healthy balance with meditation and yoga. Experiment with several types of yoga until you find the perfect mix that unites every dynamic element of your being. Proper breathing is incredibly important and may help reduce anxiety and that horrendous fear of losing control, or just losing 'it.' It goes without saying that you must not smoke and should avoid smoky areas. Never do anything that cuts off circulation to your lower legs. Whenever possible, elevate your legs to improve blood flow. Whether male or female, you have a golden look about you. Maybe it's your coloring - or maybe it's your dynamic aura. People cannot resist your vibe, your brilliance or energy - and wait expectantly for your magnificent second act. Self-activating, determined, and incredibly responsible, you depend on yourself and a very small coterie of trusted friends. You're allergic to social poseurs and anything else that seems trivial or fake. You go out of your way to be honest, authentic, and REAL - and if others don't like it, tough. Some label you atypical, a pearl among swine, or just plain unpredictable. Conventional wisdom isn't especially appealing to you because you have your own personalized vision and game plan. Do or die all the way, you are determined to follow through on promises and commitments. You expect the same kind of dedication and loyalty from your handpicked group of friends and confidantes. You keep your own counsel, make your own decisions and bow to no one. A freedom lover who celebrates truth and heroic dedication, you are a genuine original - a lightening rod for what's good and noble. Some will put you on a pedestal, which isn't necessarily a comfortable place to be. Even when others flatter you, you will not abandon your core beliefs and values. You bring tremendous enthusiasm and energy to every endeavor you participate in. An intense level of excitement, creativity and dedication fuels you. If your heart isn't in something, no amount of money or cajoling can seduce you. You need to be moved emotionally and spiritually. Your urge for autonomy sometimes gets you into trouble with authority figures and restrictive social rules. Your sense of humor, which can be stinging and sarcastic, may offend. But for those who appreciate the full flavor of your genius, you're a freedom of speech dream come true. You set a new standard for visionaries that follow in your footsteps. A fascinating agent provocateur, you tweak and nudge, forcing others to take notice. It's nearly impossible for you to avoid controversy or fade quietly into the background. Your mind is your most blatantly seductive tool. You have a pronounced ability to coax information and secrets out of the most tightlipped control freak. Your apparent social alchemy disturbs rigid personalities, but enthralls just about everyone else. Even when you're not deliberately taunting or toying with someone, you may be accused of doing so. Although you're masterful at separating others from their inhibitions, you're very private about your own personal life - and may lead a double life. There is always more going on in your very private world than others suspect.
