As a sign of exile of the Sun, Aquarians do not have too much need to stand out and give their best when they are not in the foreground. They strive to rather be different than necessarily the best. They are resistant to authority and in principle stand for equality, because they place great value on freedom and independence. Anarchism and communism are philosophies that are in the nature of this sign. In a negative context, they often have a weak will, a problem with self-confidence, low self-esteem, an unexpressed or overexpressed ego, difficulty maintaining focus, are disorganized, lack honor and dignity and what is worse, are often totally unaware of that.
As they have little control over themselves, they are prone to unpredictable behavior and can be quite irritable, volatile, fickle and capricious.
Due to the weakness of the Sun and the strength of Saturn and Uranus in this sign, there is a danger that they live too much in memories and plans, while in any given present they are usually in chaos, disorganized and unfulfilled.
Members of this sign are capable of making something new out of the old, which partly stems from the influence of Saturn and Uranus, symbols of the old and the new, but primarily stems from the fact that Aquarius is a fixed sign, as a result of which members of this sign tend to deepen and chew over old ideas and see them from a new angle. As it is unnatural for air, as for time, to stand still, so people who have an emphasis on this sign tend to dwell on certain thoughts and ideas, which can sometimes lead to new insights that can change the world, but more often can lead to various psychoses and neuroses. Having fixed ideas means being an Aquarius.
As a fixed sign ruled by Saturn and Uranus, the lives of most members of this sign are characterized by consistent dissatisfaction and revolt, both with themselves and with the external world and environment, as well as a constant striving for change that is also directed in both directions, as a need for change own attitude, habits and behavior, as well as by changing the place of residence, work and environment. For this reason, Aquarius is a sign that symbolizes change as well as breaks, divorces and separations of any kind.
