12 signs of the zodiac - key characteristics
Aquarius 20th Jan - 18th Feb
Of all the zodiac signs, Aquarians have an unrelenting desire for personal freedom, independence and the right to do their own thing. One of a kind, unique in every way, they are comfortable being different, unusual and unconventional and prefer to differ from the norm. Sometimes a rebel or verging on the eccentric, their little idiosyncrasies and unpredictability make them stand out from the crowd, as they act in crazy ways that no-one else understands. Their taste for the unusual is often reflected in their appearance, job, relationships and friendships.
Being an intellectual and outspoken air sign, Aquarians like to voice their opinions. Ruled by the genius planet Uranus, their ideas or opinions are highly original and progressive, often controversial. This is purely because they think on a different frequency to everyone else and are miles ahead of their time. Their stubbornness and argumentative nature can often be their downfall. Aquarians look at everything they come across from a new perspective, with an ability to think outside the box and offer an innovative solution. They are often "techy" , inventors and good with gadgets.
Aquarians are very friendly and humanitarian, frequently involved with clubs, groups activities or the wider community. They have a wide and varying social group of friends, often more comfortable in a group situation than on a one to one intimate level. They are extremely loyal to those close to them, but find it hard to express their feelings, so often come across as emotionally detached or aloof. Due to their need for autonomy and independence, this is the most likely sign to be single.
