As a ‘fixed air sign,’ and natural revolutionaries of the zodiac, Aquarians are often obsessed.’ They have to be in order to change the world to a better place, which is their desire. It is interesting that Valentine’s Day falls in Aquarian territory, an energy born in the nervous/mental system, that is more impersonal, not [...]
