Make time every day for this Aquarian office must…
Aquarius rules the lower legs and blood flow to the extremities. Sitting for hours slouched over a keyboard is bad for your back, your posture, and your circulation. And if work is your home away from home (as it usually is for Aquarius), you probably spend more time in the office than is good for your health!
With a standing desk you can burn more calories, feel more empowered, and improve your health all at once. You may even get to know more of your co-workers when you walk over to talk rather than send e-mail—you’re already standing up, after all!
Is your independence holding you back at work?
A working partnership could be the perfect job situation for Aquarius. You relate best to others on an intellectual level, and a relationship that omits all the messy emotional stuff seems ideal! Note, however, that nobody completely leaves their emotional being at home (not even you). You still must make a business partner feel valued, appreciated, and equal. In the best of all worlds, each of you would have a realm of responsibility—say, you’re the creative genius and your partner is the nuts-and-bolts half that brings those ideas to fruition. It’s a match made in heaven!
Be a B-word at work, and love it, Aquarius!
Do you want to be boss? You probably gravitate toward power positions if for no other reason than your independence! You communicate well, and your “big-picture” view means you can help a company reach its goals. That creative mindset is tailor-made for zeroing in on problems and finding solutions.
But detailed drudgery and management minutiae aren’t your style and a “my way or the highway” attitude makes it hard for staff to offer feedback. A good manager builds teams and solicits input (even if you do know best). Got it? Go for it!
Aquarians are out there in so many good ways!
Your heart is as big as your intellect. You love humankind —perhaps more than any one human! You are the sign of idealism and the future. The world’s problems and the welfare of its people concern you. You want to do meaningful work that makes a positive contribution to society, and the paycheck and title matter less than the work itself.
Open-minded and fair, you rebel against the status quo. If someone says, “that’s impossible” or “we’ve always done it this way,” you ask why and do it better. Find a cause that speaks to your humanitarian heart and you’ll find a career you love.
The sky’s the limit for this Aquarius star…
Born in 1997, Chloe Moretz began acting at age 7 and has already appeared in dozens of movies and television shows—and won as many awards! She’s acted alongside A-listers Sir Ben Kinglsey, Sasha Baron Cohen, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Cage, who played the father of her “sugar and spikes” Hit Girl in Kick-Ass. “He is the coolest guy ever!” This adaptable Aquarian trained in gymnastics so she could do most of her own stunts, but has found success across a myriad of roles. Chloe has no illusions about stardom, “My mom’s always said if I get a big head, she’ll take me out of this business as quick as I got in it….if acting doesn’t work out…what I really want to do is fly airplanes!” She’s expected to appear in Tom and Jerry in 2021.
Hair styles that flatter Water Bearers best…
Your reputation precedes you—everyone knows you’re eccentric, although you prefer to call yourself avant-garde and unique! And that goes for your hair, too. You’re the one with the violet chalk streaks or the rainbow bangs in your asymmetrical do. Update a jaw-length cut by pomading the sides and sweeping the top into a faux updo. Or if your hair is long, weave it into a loose, sexy fishtail braid or twist your tresses into two French braids and then coil into a bun. Experiment with fresh takes on classic styles and change your look every day!
This exotic bloom is meant for Aquarius…
Exotic, otherworldly, ravishing, awe-inspiring—descriptions of you or the flower associated with your sign, the incomparable orchid. It would be hard to find another flower with such beauty, variety, and weirdness. Start with orchid if you seek a new fragrance to add to your collection. Halle Berry’s Pure Orchid combines it with blackberry, star anise, tonka bean, lemon, cactus flower, papaya, and sequoia. Osafume by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes melds the Dendrobium with anise, magnolia, heliotrope, vanilla, and white musk. And Tom Ford’s Black Orchid for men includes notes of bergamot, mandarin, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, and vanilla.
The perfect bag for Aquarian gadgets and personal gear…
How do you create that one-of-a-kind look? You just know where to find the coolest gear, and you have an uncanny knack for mixing colors and pieces into a style that’s uniquely yours. While more conventional types are stuffing their gadgetry into ho-hum totes, you’re onto a different trend. No longer just for grade-schoolers or hikers, backpacks have morphed into sophisticated, eye-catching alternatives for stashing your stuff. Whether lemon or pearly cream leather, animal print, fringed, geometric, or basic black, it’s the go-to solution for carrying your gizmos—and hands free to boot!
Is this our era’s poster child for Aquarius?
MIT-trained, super-inventor Ray Kurzweil could be the poster child for Aquarius. In his 20s he designed the first machine for reading books to the blind (Stevie Wonder was a customer). Now Google’s director of engineering is building smart robots. He’s predicted that in 15 years computers will possess more raw intelligence than humans. And he’s made an even more audacious prediction—that we’ll also cheat death itself. He seems well on his way, having joined a cryonics company with the intent of extending his life with future technologies. Through his own lifestyle changes, he reversed his type 2 diabetes. This Aquarian never stops dreaming, “Being an entrepreneur, you have to be optimistic, because if you knew all the obstacles you would face, you would never start anything.”
This Aquarian shimmies to a different drummer…
It isn’t just the hips of Colombian sensation Shakira that are shakin’. “I am constantly in motion,” she admits. The Grammy winner has served as a coach on The Voice, and she’s sold over 50 million albums worldwide; her “Hips Don’t Lie” is one of the best-selling singles of the century, but many of her songs have topped the charts around the world. Hardly content to rest on her, um, laurels, “I’m still very passionate and hungry… I’m always trying to challenge myself.” And she doesn’t show signs of slowing down any time soon. “Movement is life—it’s synonymous with being alive!”
