However, these people are most definitely air signs. They have a way with other people, they really do. If they're a bad Aquarius, they're good at manipulating. If they're a good Aquarius, they can really change the world and get things into motion. Another reason they are obviously not water signs is that they find extreme emotional displays as kind of a put-off. They say what they feel and that's it. There's usually nothing else behind it. If they're mad, they're mad and that's that. But if a cancer's mad, they're sad, too, they just won't say it. They're the people who want to say the right thing, and when you're done crying they'll go with you to kick the other guy's ass. They also have a tendency to make weird noises, be humming or fidget. They can't help it, however. And don't be offended if they just start talking in the middle of a sentence of yours, because it really isn't their fault they haven't been listening, as their minds WANDER. There is no doubt about that. I think every Aquarius could be diagnosed with ADD at one point or another. That's not to say that they can't be good listeners when interested, or when they know it's important. They're actually quite good at listening, when they focus on it.\nAnd maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that they all have some tacky sentimental thing that they lugg around with them. My boyfriend Zak wears these shoes that are basically extra socks they're in such bad shape. But he loves them. And my mother had the same hat for 15 years. Christ.\nIt was no mistake when someone called Aquarius the 'banner carrier', as they are well known to start revolutions and reform. It even gets down to someone being picked on or a rather nasty over-the-shoulder comment being completely blown away by the Aquarius righteousness. They can't STAND to see the underdog picked on. They feel sorry for wounded puppies to whole nations of people. They're the one politely telling you that you're an asshole for making fun of the fat kid across the room. First they'll come in with the "Hey, you wouldn't like it if they did that to you" attitude, and if that doesn't work they'll come back with a "Fuck you" attitude.\nThey don't analyze as much as they reflect. And people naturally flock to them for advice. It isn't always advice the Aquarius will take themselves, however. They usually let people fuck them over or oppress them once or twice, but once they swear it off, it never happens again. The will these people have is incredible, and I think all of them are artistic in some way.\nThey LOVE to try new things, unless this aspect is outweighed by other signs in their chart, they'll also be the first person next to Pisces to say "Oh my god" after hearing some particularly heart wrenching tale from some victim. \nThey've all got a style all their own, and the house of a wealthy Aquarian would be a sight to behold. The other day I went to a restaurant in Baltimore, and let me tell you, my inner Capricorn fucking DIED. There were beat up mannequins on the ceiling, the walls, and they were painted weird, tacky colors and little army men were melted on as hair...and guh. The place looked like shit. And of course my friends loved it. Bastards. Anyway, I said that the owner HAD to be an aquarius, a
