Aquarius

The Myth:
Aquarians are perpetually painted as cold, robotic characters who have no heart and no passion. They are, we are told, entirely intellectual in their make up. Like Star Trek's Mr. Spock, they can only think, they cannot feel. They are supposed to be aloof, distant, uncaring and for good measure, they are also reputed to be insanely eccentric.

The Truth:
Well, there's no denying the "eccentric bit". People born under this sign are fiercely proud of their idiosyncrasies. In truth though, their disposition is the very antithesis of ambivalent. They are highly sensitive souls who care deeply about the people around them. It's because they are so inwardly vulnerable that they hide their feelings behind a mask of indifference. They fear that if they ever let it slip, they may never restore it. For much the same reason, Aquarians are sociable. They figure, as long as they are making pleasant, easy conversation or discussing ideas rather than emotions, they will be able to distract others from the true intensity of their passionate hearts.

The Key To Success:
To be an Aquarian is to have impeccable, almost infallible judgement. It is to know, instantly, the right answer to any question and to see, immediately, the best way to proceed with any plan. It is also though, to be viewed with suspicion by those who do not possess such clarity. All you ever need, to be successful, is to act on your insights.
