HOROSCOPE FOR AQUARIUS 2006
Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) - 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
2006: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Although it may begin with a rocky start, 2006 is bound to be an exciting and prosperous year for you. The first half of the year may be peppered with assorted "problems" that keep you on your toes. By mid-year, the fortunate effects of Chiron's conjunction to your Sun (or Ascendant) begin to reveal themselves.

Saturn in Leo has been traveling directly opposite your Sun (or Ascendant), and it continues to do so until June. To say it's cramping your style may be an understatement. It seems that you are being tested to put aside your individuality and personal goals for the time being, and this can feel like a blow to your pride. Your vitality may be on the low side, and you may feel that others oppose you, or that circumstances seem almost to be conspiring to work against you. At the same time, or perhaps after the fact, you learn your limitations. Your goals become more realistic, and you have a good sense of where you stand. Although personal relationships may have some restricting or tense moments, you learn more about how far you can go, and you come out stronger.

By mid-year, you should be feeling on top of your game. Chiron on your Sun (or Ascendant) is a powerful, liberating influence. Others see your charm and appeal, and they value you for your sparkling personality. You could see some unexpected gains in your finances with Uranus beginning its trek through your solar second house and eclipses activating your money sectors. Even if unexpected losses enter the picture, these only serve to motivate you to tap into new resources.



Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) - 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:

Plenty of astrological influences on your Sun (or Ascendant) make this a stimulating and interesting year. Those born from February 5-9 experience a direct influence by Neptune, the planet of illusion and spirituality. Where it is you are headed suddenly seems unclear. An identity crisis can occur, and it can be hard to feel grounded. What is happening is your ego boundaries are dissolving and your perceptions are becoming more subtle. By the end of the transit, you should be more aware of your spiritual purpose, but while it's in progress, you may feel confused, moody, and vulnerable. Others may not understand you during this period, especially partners. On the other hand, your dreams and visions are richer than ever, and you experience a magical opportunity to tap into your intuition and imagination.

Saturn moving through your partnership and relationship sector suggests that partners may view you with a critical eye, or that close personal relationships take a "hit" in some manner. A dose of reality (or a few) in this area of your life can generate a feeling of limitation or restriction in August and September, but things are certain to smooth over and you can enjoy a healthier, more realistic relationship as a result. Pay attention to your finances. The astrological influences of the year tend to draw your attention away from financial matters, but staying organized and grounded in this area of your life is a must. If a trusted partner wants to lend you a hand by helping to control your finances, it's probably a good idea to let them.

Jupiter's influence this year is strong, as it hangs out at the top of your solar chart. You are bound to feel restless and adventurous on the career front, and you may be the recipient of some form of reward or recognition, especially probable in the first half of May. A career opportunity may suddenly pop up. The second half of March is a good time to attract what, and who you want, as is the month of July. The first week of July is a power period when your magnetic powers are strong. An opportunity to travel or a favorable contact with someone abroad can transpire in the second week of October.

Aquarius (Born February 10 to 19) - 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

2006: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Most of the heavyweight cosmic activity occurs in the last quarter of the year. In the meantime, much of your focus is on personality development and subtle changes in the people and groups you associate with. With Pluto moving through your solar eleventh house and in sextile to your Sun (or Ascendant), what makes you happy is not quite as simple as it has been. We're not talking about entertainment and pleasure--the eleventh house is about grander aspirations. The direction your life is taking on a more philosophical level is what is on your mind these days, and you're looking for something profound and deep. Superficial associations and friendships no longer do it for you, as you seek more meaningful connections. The manner in which you express yourself is subtly changing as well. Infused with a healthy dose of Pluto, you begin to strategize more. You stop to look around you and assess situations before moving forward, instead of impulsively jumping in.

The last week of March and first week of April is a power period for you. Your powers of attraction are high with Venus transiting your Sun (or Ascendant) and Mars in trine from your solar fifth house. If you're looking for love, this is an opportune time to get yourself out there. Mid-July is another excellent period for attracting what (and who!) you want.

October and November bring potent new energies into your life. Jupiter transits square your Sun, and Saturn opposes it. Tensions in your relationships with close partners, family members, or co-workers can surface. These tensions are designed to give you a shot of reality and responsibility in these areas of your life. They may seem heavy now, but down the road, you'll uncover more meaning and direction as a direct result of the experiences.

Answer 2

I'm an Aquarian too and this definitely has been one of the shittiest years yet. I've gone through two lemon cars that I have invested so much money into fixing only to have them break down again. I hardly have any money in my pocket because of this and other "unexpected" circumstances. I'm currently looking for work and having the hardest time finding it, which should not be the case around the holidays.

Romantically speaking, I've been treated like a complete doormat. I can't seem to attract the right man to save my life. Every one I meet is a dog. It's not like I'm subconsciously attracting these guys because believe it or not I'm a hopeless romantic and think positively when it comes to love. It just seems like I'm suffering from a lot of bad mojo =( Anyway, I hope 2007 will be better for all of us. It sure as hell can be any worse.

Answer 3

Aquarius men don't care they are to immature to be the man they should be he does this to you because you allow it and if i showed him or even told him i didn't like it and he did it again anyway all that would say to me is he is kick his A** straight to the curb Aquarius do what they want to do and either you except it or you don't they don't care not all are alike but the most of them are and when he does not except your call and put them straight to voice mail he is either with another female or he is with his friends Aquarius men can be something else i know i have one but there ain't no way in h** he would do this to me i would be gone and let me say this if you cry alot or the clingy type he is running they don't like clingy women and yes they can be very rude unless you are up for a challenge if i were you i would be running in the other direction to the left because if he is doing these things to you now it will only get worse you will be crying all the time cut him off i mean all communication when he does this it will make his a** think and either he will care or he won't who cares that just only means he is not for you and if you show him you don't give a dam what he does that will get his attention to when he doesn't get his way and they will disrespect you to the highest degree don't except that from him i am a virgo and i wish mine would have treated me this way i would have had nothing to do with him period but then i know how to cut a rude *** immature game playing Aquarius off if i have to DON'T LET HIM TREAT YOU ANY KIND OF WAY DEMAND RESPECT or get out now because he will hurt you time and time again...Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 4

Yup, but that's because I am an Aquarius plus I have OCD...not a great combination! Oh and finals are coming up too...I am more stressed now than I have ever been!

Answer 5

Astrology is bunk
I've always been rather amazed that anyone believed in astrology, which is obviously a psuedoscience with no basis in reality. But I've recently come across some rather startling revelations that show that astrology is even more absurd than I thought:

My birthday is December 1, so I'm considered a Sagittarius according to astrology. Except...I'm not. Astrology is based on which constellation the sun is in on the day you're born, and tradition states I was born under Sagittarius, the archer. But I was actually born under Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer. What the hell is that? you might ask. Well, it's a constellation the sun passes through each December, which supposedly looks like a guy holding a serpent or something (it doesn't to me, but that's a whole nother rant). Traditional astrology holds that there are 12 constellations in the zodiac (the zodiac is the belt of the sky the sun, moon, and all the planets minus pluto, travel through), but according to astronomers there are actually 13*: Ophiuchus is the neglected one. (It's pronounced ah-fee-YOO-kus, and it's named after the Greek god of healing Asclepius, who liked to hold snakes.)

Basically, traditional astrology is wrong astronomically on two counts:

1) The Babylonians divided the zodiac into 12 equal sections of 30 degrees even though there were 13 constellations and the constellations were different sizes and took up different proportions of the circle. So even back 2,000 years ago when the system was created, not everyone was actually born under the constellation they were supposed to have been born under.

2) The Earth does what's called a precession (sort of like a wobble) that is repeated every 25,800 years. The precession changes the direction the Earth's axis points, which changes which stars appear where in the sky; right now, Polaris is the pole star, but in 12,000 years, Vega will be the pole star. Astrology is old enough that the stars have noticiably altered in their positions since it was developed. Thus, the whole system is about two weeks off by virtue of that alone.

Add together these two things, and a whopping 86% of us** weren't actually born under the constellation asigned to us by astrology. Eighty-six percent! And about 5% of us (including me) were born under a constellation that most people have never even heard of. Check out the table below and see if you're actually the sign astrology claims. The dates fluctuate from year to year, but this is generally the case:


The actual dates for the zodiac: Sagittarius December 18 - January 18
Capricornus January 19 - February 15
Aquarius February 16 - March 11
Pisces March 12 - April 18
Aries April 19 - May 13
Taurus May 14 - June 19
Gemini June 20 - July 20
Cancer July 21 - August 9
Leo August 10 - September 15
Virgo September 16 - October 30
Libra October 31 - November 22
Scorpius November 23 - November 29
Ophiuchus November 30 - December 17

That's why astrology is bunk astronomically. But there are also some compelling reasons why astrology is bunk anyway.

First of all, the idea that all people born between two dates have the same personality characteristics is just insane. I've known plenty of other supposed Sagittarii, most of whom were all very different from me (and had different things happen to them every day). And I am most definitely not the traits generally listed for Sags: "philosophic, fun-loving, adventurous, blundering, wanderlust, scattered", according to Wikipedia. I am very philosophic, but not really any of the other things. So that's one out of six. And anyway, there are traits in all the signs that could apply to me. I'm saturnine (Capricorn), cause-oriented (Aquarius), spiritual (Pisces), artistic (Pisces), selfish (Aries), musical (Taurus), curious (Gemini), intelligent (Gemini, Virgo), lazy (Libra), passionate (Leo), creative (Leo), and obsessive (Scorpio). I know there are people out there who believe completely in astrology because they think they match their sign perfectly. And statistically there would have to be a handful who match perfectly. But anyone can find ways in which their sign applies to them. The sign that astrology attaches to you is the one you'll look at the most carefully, and seek out truth from. But it's just as easy to find your personality elsewhere in the zodiac, and since 86% of us weren't born under our sign, we are actually looking elsewhere. (So keep that in mind if you've always thought your compulsive personality was a reflection of your Scorpio sign: it's impossible to be a Scorpio both astronomically and astrologically, so your compulsiveness is probably just a result of your biology or environment.)

Second of all, many of the character traits were made up because they matched the shape of the constellation. For instance, Aries are considered "head-strong" because that constellation supposedly looks like a ram, an animal that's head-strong. But why should the shape mean anything? The stars aren't actually arranged that way, it's just the way they appear from Earth. Why should the particular arrangement of the stars from the perspective of Earth have any bearing on the personalities or daily lives of people born while the sun was between the Earth and those stars? Furthermore, that's just the arbitrary shape assigned by the Babylonians thousands of years ago; another culture might see it as something entirely different.

In conclusion: astrology is bunk. Offended by my extremely rational declaration? Feel free to respond. It'll be amusing. (And I reserve the right to post any absurd claims made about astrology's veracity.)

* Thirteen is the standard number agreed upon by the International Astronomical Union. Depending on how wide you draw the belt, it may be anywhere between 13 and 24, BUT in no way can it ever be 12 as astrologers state. Ophiuchus is the only one of the extra twelve which the sun crosses, so in solar zodiac terms, there are only 13.

** Technically the 86% figure means 86% percent of possible birthdays, not births. This means it's not quite 86% percent of people, because February 29 is an uncommon birthday. I'm not sure what the actual percent of people is, but it's certainly very close to 86%.

Answer 6

Same luck here- just got my car repaired two weeks ago after a traffic accident (a truck hit my car at a traffic stop), loaned $$$ to a friend in dire straits who had just started a new job at much higher salary but 2 weeks later she got sick, missed work and is now unemployed- any holiday shopping relies entirely upon her repaying that loan :(

Oh, it's fun to be an Aqua...
