ENERGY PATTERN
Each of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac represents specific energy patterns, or modes of expression. They act as modifiers of the elements with which they are associated, be it a Planet or a House. Aquarius is eccentricity and radical individuality seeking freedom of the soul and communication with the group mind.


INFLUENCE OF THE PLANET
Those born under Capricorn and Aquarius are the Saturn type. You have a small head, beady and deep-set eyes, with prominent ears and nose. You have a weak set of teeth, and thin and lifeless hair. Slow in movement, you are conservative and methodical with serious outlook. Deeply faithful, you also have a sense of duty. However, you are not sociable and prefer solitude.


DECAN INSIGHT
Each zodiac sign extends across 30 degree of the Zodiac. These can be further subdivided into three decans of 10 degree each. Therefore, though all those born under a particular sign are classified under the same sign, the decans yield further insight into your total personality.

You belong to the First Decan of Aquarius (January 21 - January 30).
You are ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. These endow you with the persistence to overcome all obstacles, and also with originality and creativity respectively. You will naturally do very well in the world with this practically unbeatable combination.


AQUARIUS LOVE MYSTERY
Your detachment and tendency to probe and examine too deeply stands in the way of your forming lasting attachments. Your emotions are actually sensual rather than sexual. You also have a love for the strange and bizarre which can prevent you from giving happiness to your mate. It is not that you cannot love deeply and sincerely - it is your need for change that may cause trouble. For this reason, marriage is not really your strong point, as a tie or bonding is not meant for you. You may outgrow a marriage, causing much heartbreak in the process. You want the freedom to go your own way, do what you want, and will resent possessiveness and interference, rebelling at the ties. However, you enjoy the interplay and counterpoise of thoughts and ideas and will welcome a flexible union with complete freedom and understanding. A tall order, but you may be lucky!


SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS
Sex plays an important role in the life of every man and woman. It lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to revere life until we know how to understand sex. Indian astrological science attributes certain sexual characteristics to persons according to the sign under which they have been born.

You are a healthy-minded person, average, and well balanced in your sex life, never making exorbitant demands.


AS A FRIEND
You will always give both guidance and warmth. Basically you are a better counselor than friend with your objectivity and detachment. Yours is the sign of friendship, so even though emotionally involved you can visualize problems clearly.
