​

Aquarius

Aquarius is represented by the zodiac symbol ♒ carved into the rock above the water. It is known as the water carrier embodied here by the spring that is carried from one small water basin to another.

Those born under Aquarius initially appear distant and aloof. This is a natural defence mechanism that requires their trust to be earnt before they are willing to commit and offer their friendship to another. Once obtained Aquarian friendship is steadfast and they make lively, although at times eccentric companions. This is always tempered by a need to withdraw and reflect while they renew and recharge their reserves of energy. However, the mind is never at rest.

This is a sign of the intellect and Aquarians are expert problem solvers, who without prejudice naturally sees and comprehends both sides of an argument. This leads to insightful and stimulating deliberations, that can evolve into long, convoluted and at times a little difficult to follow conclusions. Altruistic and humane, Aquarians are apt to follow their beliefs with an unwavering conviction that few can match. The fixed quality of this sign provides an unshakable strength to hold and follow through on a chosen path with seemingly limitless reserves of determination, and woe betide anyone or anything that tries to constrain or restrict them. Aquarius are natural free spirits.

​

Air

Aquarius is also an Air sign. Its triangular symbol is carved into the rock above that of Aquarius.

Air brings with it the liberating world of thoughts and ideas, where intelligence and curiosity abound.

Air individuals can quickly flit and follow new ideas like a perpetually moving butterfly, leading to unexpected delights and discoveries. Tangents, abound everywhere in these energetic minds and when engaged with an inspired hand luminescent new destination can be shared with the world.

The wily fox is famed the world over for its perceptiveness and quick wits. Playful by nature and possessing an unquenchable sense of humour, the vulpine spirit revels in the light hearted fun and games that life sends her way. This playful disposition causes many to foolishly underestimate her. Yet, she also possesses a surprisingly serious aspect to her character, illuminating a keen and intense temperament.

This spirit is an excellent guide that can swiftly circumvent obstacles and overcome all manner of difficulties. Little escapes a fox’s acute perception, alert and attentive she can easily discern deception and deceit.  For a fox instinctively recognises and acknowledges the maliciousness in the hearts of certain individuals and she will vigilantly guard against all unseen threats to her and her own. Through her shrewd guidance she demonstrates the effectiveness of forethought and planning, her razor intelligence and astute intuition making her an unpredictable and dangerous foe to cross.

People with a fox as their guide have a strong ally. Ruthless and cunning, this tricky individual will guard them well while teaching adaptability and the skills needed to flourish. She will temper the hasty with patience and wise council, and offer courage and fortitude to the timid.
