All About Aquarius

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Aquarius is the sign of friendship, and chances are, you've got plenty of pals. Although you may look like the boy/girl next door, you love to be around unusual people and ideas. You know how to step back and find the perfect solution to any problem. And you can make friends with almost anyone! Aquarius rules surprises and originality, and you love to shock people. Just when they think they've got you figured out, you change the game. Practical jokes are your specialty. People love to be around you, because you're so accepting and fun. Remember to give some of that love to yourself, too. You make a great leader and can really stand out from the crowd. Your sign is ruled by Uranus, planet of revolution and electricity. Aquarians are ultra-modern, always into the latest gadget or concept. Like unpredictable Uranus, your temper can flare out of nowhere. When you're upset, Aquarians can deliver a trademark lightening bolt that strikes with a force shocking even to you.
