Should Water Bearers ever rush a romance?
Your fixed nature means that it could take a while before you find just the right partner, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Your loyalty and devotion indicate that you’ll stick with your choice once you make it—although there are times when it would be better to let go.
Potential partners should understand that it will take time for you to get to know, trust, and depend on them. If they’re serious—and you’re so amusing and fascinating, why wouldn’t they be—they’ll persist. Just look at the fabulous prize they’ll win for their effort (you)!
These venues will win over an Aquarius lover…
A date with Aquarius is one memorable party! Think outside the box. To show off your style, try a poetry slam or music festival. Taste botanical-infused gin in a steampunk bar. Follow a Gamelan concert with nasi campur Bali at an Indonesian restaurant. Whale watch on horseback at a local beach. How about a pinball tournament, or a laser-light show set to 1980s arena rock music? Share gourmet popcorn and a classic flick in a historic theater. Take a self-guided tour of your city’s outdoor art. Saturday “date night” is too conventional for you, so tell your date to prepare for a Tuesday night outing!
Expand your social circle with these tips, Aquarius…
What would life be without friends? Not worth living, according to Aquarius. You don’t just have (lots of) them, you need them. Some people say that their spouse is their best friend, but your spouse is your spouse—and you love him or her to death!
Friends are the ones who are as nonjudgmental about you as you are about them. They don’t try to “fix” or “improve” you, but they’ll honestly tell you what they think—and you love them for that! Besides, your spouse doesn’t want to hear your monologue about that thingamajig you don’t really need but so desperately, passionately want. That’s what friends are for!
Hooked to technology? Here are some tips…
Do you reply to work e-mails at midnight? Do you photograph more food than you eat? Do you only talk to family via social media? If a tree falls in the woods and you aren’t there to post, pin, tweet, or text about it, did it really topple?
If you’re live tweeting your life to the point where you don’t even remember living it, you might need to unplug for a while! Your real friends will still “like” you, and your family will love the face time. Do it for your mental well-being. Nothing feeds creativity like some quiet time!
How Aquarians can make the most of well-earned time off…
Relaxing is serious business for you, Aquarius. No overcrowded tourist traps—you want your time off to be as memorable as you are. Here are some ideas for reviving your life.
How Aquarians are bringing back the sexy…
The way you dress is casual, stylish, and utterly individual. You’re so ahead of your time some people just think you’re weird! But they’ll learn what you were doing when they catch up (eventually). By then you’ll be on to the next wardrobe eccentricity you’ve dreamed up. Occasionally different just for the sake of it, there is a method to your madness—except you’re the only one who knows what it is! You care nothing for what others think (lucky for you, in this age of the instant critique), and status and designer labels are meaningless. “Hippie chick,” rocker, tie-dye, sheer, vintage—if it’s outrageous, even a bit shocking, you’ll wear it with pride!
The Aquarian miracle oil you must use…
If the smell of coconut oil conjures up greasy, bikini-clad bodies baking on the beach in the ’70s, you’re in for a surprise. It’s the new “miracle” oil, good for every part of your body from hair to toes. Even medical professionals and Deepak Chopra are on board the coconut oil train. Aquarians will try anything once!
Skin moisturizer. Some swear it makes their skin more radiant.
Oral health. Swishing for 20 minutes may whiten teeth and reduce bacteria.
Smoothie enhancer. May increase good (HDL) cholesterol and provide other health benefits.
Butter substitute or popcorn oil. Go light, though!
Heal minor skin irritations. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties.
Improve hair. Decrease protein loss and add shine to dry hair.
Aquarians who smolder with sexy facial scruff…
Men’sfacial hair has come full circle in the past few years, from clean shaven to full-on woolly. Which do Aquarians prefer?
Ultimate beauty musts for Aquarians…
What’s better than a shot of espresso for energy or a cup of chamomile tea for relaxation? Breathing! It’s automatic, so you must be doing it right, right? Not necessarily. Shallow breaths rob you of the health benefits that proper breathing bestows. Aquarius rules breathing, so perfect your technique. Try this to blow out the excess carbon dioxide that makes you groggy and reenergize a midafternoon slump.
Critical advice Aquarians must not forget…
Itisn’t because you’re aging that you can’t remember birthdays! Depending on your smart phone to remember phone numbers, GPS to remember how to get from Point A to Point B, and the Cloud for everything else just makes your brain lazy! Flex those mnemonic muscles!
Squish a stress ball. Subjects in tests did better at recalling lists of words when they squeezed a stress ball in their right hand while memorizing and in the left while recalling.
Eat more omega-3s. The fatty acids may improve short-term memory.
Exercise. Studies show that breaking a sweat increases hippocampus volume in all stages of life.
Drink coffee. Caffeine may aid a hormone that helps the brain consolidate information.
