Zodiac Fun

When I was weeding our book shelves to make room for new (well, mostly very old books that come from Peter's grandmother's home) books I found an astrology book that I hadn't looked at before (Peter must have had when we moved in together). I'm not really a believer in horoscopes but this one was a little different; it had a sense of humour both in text and illustrations! The subtitle is "A necessary guide for all who want to maximise the possibilities of astrology and avoid getting lost in the zodiac".

So what does it say about Aquarius? Where I can relate in purple.

• * An aquarius is full of surprises. Be prepared for anything when you meet this unorthodox gal. (Eh..?)
• * She wants no harm. On the contrary she has a strong wish deep inside her heart to make this world a better place to live. We ought to have more of them.
• * Aquarius need freedom for herself and those around
• * For some reason her thoughts seem to be more in the future than in the now (nah, 50-50)
• * They are gentle and nice people with a somewhat vague and dreaming gaze
• * It is no surprise that she who is such a nice person have many friends... but not so many to confide in (I have a LOT of friends including some I can talk to about everything).
• * She always know exactly what needs to be done... but entrusts the carrying out to others (haha, no, I'm pretty bad at delegating actually as I only trust myself!).
• * The water carrier really knows how to surprise someone... with a sudden capricious explosion... or through her secret vice to shock conventional people (nah, no such need).
• * Sometimes one wonder if she's a genius... or a madman (the former of course!)

The male Aquarius

• * The freedom-loving Mr Aquarius tries to avoid marriage as long as possible
• * He must be left alone when he wants to be by himself
• * He completely detests an extravagant wife

The female Aquarius

• * Someone who is so beautiful as Miss Aquarius has no difficulties getting the attention she wants (no, but as I'm talkative I guess I can "take over" a discussion)
• * Although sometimes she chooses extreme methods (illustrated with a naked woman jumping over a watering can)... and when she shows up all work sometimes comes to a halt
