A whole book could be written and then some...
The Aquarius man is a law unto himself...and boy does he know it. Charming, unconventional, independent, cool, detached, highly intelligent, objective, curious, weird, whacky, stubborn, sociable, humanitarian - and light years ahead of his time...Contrary to what people think, Aquarius is not a water sign. It is a 'fixed' masculine Air sign. Its symbol is the water bearer, but that is where the similarity ends. Air is all about ideas and abstract thinking. Water is all about emotions and feeling.
Before you go proposing to him on the strength of above...Stop, Look, and Listen to your heart...
If you want to spend the rest of your life with a toe-tickling "Darling would you like a cup of tea" type of guy, then sorry, Mr. A is not the man for you. It would be far better if you had a life before - and after - you meet him. Because Mr. A likes his space - both emotional and physical. So when he is happily doing his thing without you, you need to make YOU happy. He is not called 'The Nutty Professor of the Zodiac' without good reason. These fellows think a lot. They live in the mental realm - No, he's not mental in the negative sense - well maybe sometimes...!!
He is really and truly a charming fellow, and especially suitable if you happen to be born under the sign of Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aries and last, but not least Leo. Since Leo is their polar opposite sign, fireworks could sizzle up. The chemistry is hot, but equally the temper tantrums between them. They need each other, and sometimes they don't realize it until it is too late.
If you are in love with an Aquarian man, and fall under one of the water or earth signs - Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. It would be wise to have a full astrological synastry chart done before you sign the dotted line. There would have to be significant and pleasant planetary connections between the two charts, for the union to survive.
Why? Well, as stated above, Mr. A is a somewhat cool and detached fellow. He is not too much into emotional displays of affection, and frankly he is more turned on by good conversation - especially when it comes from a very attractive lady. They are impressed by appearance, manner, and tend to like ladies with an outgoing nature. They like parties, and equally like solitude.
These nutty- professor- type of guys are strangly, and frequently, attracted to Marilyn Monroe type of ladies. Maybe it is a case of opposites attract, yet talking about Marilyn, she was a Gemini - Air - and apparently, very intelligent - so maybe not so odd after all!
Aquarian men are generally not in too much of a hurry to settle down, but when they do, it would be good to have an open-plan style of home, no screaming babies, lots of fresh air - and plenty of space!! O.K.
Hope that helps!
Love,

AQUARIUS AQUARIUS...HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING...
THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES:
If I had my way...
I would look exactly like Christie Brinkley, who turned 60 on February 2nd. She looks amazing - and is also one of the 10 richest models in the world, with an estimated worth in 2008 of $80 million. I wouldn't mind looking like Aquarians Jennifer Aniston or indeed the gorgeous Jane Seymour for that matter. Oprah and Ellen - so famous, they don't need a surname. Look at the way Oprah has shaped and changed our world. Aquarians are ahead of their time - light years ahead in fact...
The reason many Aquarian women are slow to walk down the isle, and that when they do, it doesn't always end up happily, is because men are attracted to their feminine exterior, not realizing that these spirited ladies have indeed a man's brain, and are not easily dominated! Aquarius is in fact a masculine sign, as are all the air and fire signs. These women have a strong independent streak, and appearances can definitely be deceptive with them.
It might explain why Christie Brinkley has been married around four times, Jennifer Aniston could have remained happily married to Brad, if Angelina had not come along. Hollywood has different rules! Jane Seymour has sadly just broken up with her husband. Oprah has never walked down the aisle, despite having a steady Steadman on hand. Non-conformist Ellen does her own thing, but is the dominant lady in the relationship. When it comes to relationships, Aquarians need space - both mentally and physically.
Of course, not all Aquarius gals are unhappy in marriage. Many team up with the right mate. The wrong mate for them is somebody controlling, possessive, small minded, tight-fisted, humourless and passive. It could take only one of the aforementioned traits to put them over the edge. Since Aquarius rules the nervous system, natives can be highly strung and need a calm partner, who is also strong enough to stand up to their sometimes bossy ways.
From experience, a good mate for the Aquarian female is often to be found in the signs of Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini, followed by Leo (their polar opposite), Aries (thought often a feisty union!) and sometimes Pisces can work nicely with their energy, and bring out their more gentle side. Similar to their male counterpart, they like a partner who is fun loving, charming, intelligent, with a lively wit, and who enjoys a large social circle.
Tune in again for the Male of the species.

WAS I EVER RIGHT!!
Remember I told you I wanted to stay in bed Thursday? Was it a premonition? or maybe just the planets up to mischief? Yes to the aforementioned.
Thursday, so say the least, was fraught with frustration. No, I didn't tell the traffic lights on Foul Bay and Richmond junction to go on the blink, it just happened all by itself, causing quite a consternation! No, it wasn't my fault that somebody forgot our appointment, and left me standing in the cold. Yes, it was my fault that I left the car keys in my coat pocket, and poor Claudia, who had an exam to sit at 1.00 could not find them. She must have prayed to St. Anthony, because she was inspired to try my coat pocket where they were hiding.
No, it wasn't my fault that the fellow at the Bank was so grouchy, and did not want to lodge my cheques, because they belonged to my daughters, one of whom lives in Vancouver. I had to explain to him there never has been a problem with this before. I was just lodging... After a frustrating encounter, he finally found his manners.
No, it wasn't my fault that when driving to a musical event last night, a fellow quickly reversed from his driveway out onto the main road, narrowly missing me - again!! Yes, it was my fault that when I did get to the musical event, I could not find my ticket - drat! Hate when that happens. I had to buy another ticket after emptying my whole handbag in vain. I laughed at my friend Pat exclaiming "Oh, it's just Mercury Retro. Still don't know where that missing ticket went to!
Just thought I'd share some funny mercury retro communication glitches!!
Believe me, I laughed through them all. I get a weird kick out of seeing the planets playing their little games. If you find interesting things happening to you - now you know!
Cheers!

EXPRESS YOURSELF!
Mercury retrograde is regarded as being a pesky annoyance of an astrological transit. That's usually the reaction to the raft of technological and communication glitches that occur when this planet flips into reverse motion. When I discuss it with friends, they'll joke about being in a restaurant, and the waitress bringing the wrong order, or waiting for that phone call that never comes, etc. I remember once losing my watch during a retro phase. It had fallen into a hole in my jacket pocket lining!! People experiencing frustrations in their day-to-day life will sometimes phone me and ask in frustration "Is Mercury retrograde by any chance!" Yeps, it usually is.
Now, let's not be all down on poor Mercury. He has to do his thing. Stuff happens for a reason. Usually, it is a message for us to slow down! These periods are a good time for introspection and reflection. Because Mercury has just switched into the very creative sign of Pisces, maybe we need to evaluate ways of expressing ourselves. It is a great time to journal, or take up painting, in an effort to express yourself.
It is important to look at the sign that Mercury is in, and then reflect on how you can use this time to your advantage. Pisces is also a deeply spiritual sign, so maybe this could also be a good time for you to think about your life, and where you are heading. You may wish to develop your spirituality...For Catholics, the period of Lent is almost upon us. This is a 40 day period of abstinence and spiritual contemplation - what I call 'the desert period' before the onset of Easter, and all its accompanying sunshine and joy.
These are just some suggestions on how you can use this time to your advantage.

STAY IN BED THURSDAY!!
If I could... I would stay in bed all day Thursday, and cuddle up with Lulu my chihuahua, who doubles as a hot water bottle. I would order all my meals to be brought directly to my boudoir.
Yes, we can expect a considerable amount of planetary turbulence tomorrow, which is why I'd rather stay cocooned inside my shell. The moon in Taurus will be opposing Saturn in Scorpio and squaring the sun in Aquarius, creating a rather nasty irritable T-Square in the heavens - Ouch!! (Egos at war - I said no fightin' y'all!) So if you find yourself feeling grouchy, and rather glum...blame it on the planets. They can't answer back, and besides now you know it's wise to keep a low profile tomorrow, and for the next few days...to be on the safe side!
That's not all...Unfortunately, Mercury the 'mischief planet' turns retrograde tomorrow, and will remain so for the next three weeks. Thankfully, this only happens three times in the year. I already noticed his presence on the road. Sometimes you can feel the retro motion, even before it begins. Driving yesterday, and today, I had two very narrow escapes. I was driving very carefully on a one-way street, with two lanes of traffic. A young fellow on the right lane tried to turn into my left lane - not seeing me in his rear view mirror. Miraculously, he just missed smashing into me. I did not hoot him, as I don't like hooters. He got enough of a fright himself!
Then today, as I was making a left turn, the arrow was on my side indicating I could move. Unfortunately, an elderly man tried to make a right turn, which he should not have done. He was confused. Thank God, I'm good with my brakes!! So you see what I mean. When Mercury is retro - watch your driving and the road! computers will give a bit of trouble - BACK UP all your work. Communications are weird, cancellations at the last minute...don't sign any documents without studying the fine print! Confusion frequently reigns. This retro Mercury which shifts into Pisces Thursday, can cause anxiety, confusion, and people may be feeling down, with that T-Square. A good time to read 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle.
Or get thee to a gym, and sweat those depressive feelings away. Keep busy - but keep safe! Dance, sing, pray, play your guitar... Whatever takes your mind away from annoying you (cause it will be bugging you!!) just DO IT!
On that happy note!

A WHOLE LOT OF HORSE!
To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Chinese Astrology. I'm more into Western Astrology. That being said, the Year of the Horse is upon us, and curiosity got the better of me, so I investigated the matter a little further...
It would appear that the Horse is a fiery creature, and the fact this is the Year of the Wooden Horse only adds fuel to the fire. So we're advised to be a strong rider in control of the horse, and when driving, we must leave our anger and frustration on the passenger seat! It's not going to be an easy year for negotiations and compromise, as people will tend to stick to their principles and stand firm! So unfortunately, it is going to be a fast year, full of conflicts.
Not everything in life is a race. You need to think about how your start, how you jump over a few hurdles, and how quickly you want to get past that finishing post. Strategy and a plan-of-action for your endeavours will be important this year. People engaged in the fire or wood industries will do very well this year. Not so good for the property market in the first six months. It will remain low, so if planning to sell, be patient and hold out until the second half of the year when the property market will rise again.
Getting married this year? Oops...the Chinese believe it is not an auspicious year for marriage. It will be interesting to see how many Chinese marriages take place this year, as they are even more superstitious than me. But I'm not sure how seriously I would take that. The last time we had the Chinese year of the Wood Horse was back in 1954 - 60 years ago. That was the year my parents got married, and they enjoyed 58 good years together, until dad's death last year. So don't be put off! I find the Chinese astrology a bit too general.
Apparently the Horse doesn't like the rat - doesn't trust the rat, which means 2014 is not a favourable year for those born in the year of the Rat - who wants to hear news like that? Well as long as the rat keeps things out in the open I guess that would help... It promises to be a good year for us Roosters, as the Horse is a farm animal, and so is the rooster. We roosters need to keep the noise levels down, and not be too afraid of the large imposing horse. Hmm...wonder how I'll do that?
The Horse is most compatible with the tiger, sheep and dog, so people born in those years should have an auspicious year. Since it is a wooden horse year with a strong influence of Fire and Earth, people with lots of fire and earth in their charts should also do well.
The bottom line is pay attention to what you are doing this year, apply due diligence and caution in business, especially real estate. Present yourself with grace and dignity, as the Horse is a graceful animal, and one of the most popular of the Chinese animals. Don't be too brash or showy. If you push too hard, you'll annoy the horse - and you wouldn't want to do that, would you? It's a year that favours those with a cool, calm head about them. Be open to compromise...Do you think you can handle that? Hope so. A lump of sugar will do wonders too. The horse is a fairly straight forward animal. I think I can relate to it more than a Dragon or a Tiger. Hope so!
Happy Travels on your horse this year and Yee Haw!

HAPPY HORSE DAY!
The above little fellow I purchased in Chinatown yesterday, for the princely sum of $4.49. The owner of the shop lovingly wrapped him in Chinese newspaper, as if it was delicate porcelain, which made it feel all the more special. He now sits ceremoniously in the Good Fortune section of my home, as determined by a Feng Shui expert. Here's hoping Good Luck will gallop its way into our home this year...as least I tried!!
When visiting Chinatown today, Kevin and I wandered into a little junk shop. There I spied these lucky jade shamrocks for $17.95 - not bad! Hubby bought them for me for Good Luck!
Remember yesterday, I mentioned I was going to go to Chinatown and get these little lucky red envelopes and fill them with chocolate coins and red candy treats for my friends. Well I did, and above is the end result!
Yesterday, the air was alive with excitement as we heralded in the Chinese Year of the Horse. I went down to Chinatown to get my horse ornament, red lucky bags for friends, and some candy to put in them. I'm kinda traditional in that respect - and so superstitious! The sun was shining and it was one of those lovely heart warming early Spring days. You can see the little baby buds appearing on the trees and shrubs. What's not to love about Spring?
Parking is expensive in Chinatown. I had this really strong feeling that somebody was going to be nice, and offer me their parking ticket as they left. As I got out of the car, and walked towards the meter, a lovely lady came towards me with a big smile on her face "Here" she said, handing me her ticket, as she left. It was good for four hours! So you could say I got my little red lucky envelopes and candies for free!! What a nice start to the Year of the Horse!
It was my friend Anita's birthday today, so seven gal pals got together to celebrate with her last night. I handed out my little red lucky bags which went down a treat. I think Anita is a 'typical' Aquarian, in that she is very friendly, sociable, intelligent, and enjoys a large circle of friends. She is kindly in disposition, and likes to express her individuality in the way she dresses. It may be something so simple as a classy, unusual pair of shoes, or her vibrant rainbow coloured reading glasses. Whenever you see somebody who has a 'unique' edge to them, with non-conformist tendencies - bet you it's an Aquarian! Blue of any hue looks divine on them, which is why my gift to Anita was a cobalt blue scarf, with matching top and nail polish. Knowledge of astrology is very useful when choosing a gift for a friend.
Tomorrow, I'll tell you what's happening for each of the Chinese animals in the Year of the Horse. I'll also give you a flavour of what you can expect in the Chinese Year of the Wood Horse.
So tune in for more tomorrow!
Love,
Patricia xxx
