For Aquarius, the world means freedom, autonomy and creativity. It is a place still under construction, to which they want to contribute something of their own. They are interested in things done differently, and in commitments born of personal choice rather than those held up by outside pressure.
What others will say is not usually their main concern. Even if a task has been done the same way many times, they will want to explore another possibility. Their freedom is a treasured good, which does not mean they cannot commit: they can be especially faithful to their ideals and values.
Their gaze toward the future and their need to act independently can make others see them as odd or eccentric. They do not easily adapt to a rule if they find no reason to follow it. In how they dress, too, they prefer to follow their own taste, even if their appearance contrasts with what is traditional or formal.
In everyday acts they try to make a difference and to defend their way of seeing the world. Yet that individuality coexists with a strong sense of the collective. Friendships hold an important place and they are usually willing to support their friends generously.
How to win their heart
Freedom and spontaneity are key words for drawing closer to this profile. Their readiness to try out their own paths may recall the curiosity of a teenager who does not yet accept that there is only one right way of doing things.
Pressure and control tend to drive them away. If they change plans, stop calling or go missing, talk with your partner about what each of you needs and the agreements you want to keep. Giving space can strengthen the bond if both of you know what you expect from the relationship.
In this image, Aquarius is like water slipping out of a closed hand: an open hand offers more chances of meeting than the attempt to hold on by force.
