We Get All the Easy Jobs...

You can hem and haw all you want, Aquarius, but in the end, all you're doing is wasting your own -- and everyone else's -- time. In spite of your doubts, delaying the inevitable won't serve your cause. If the Universe has its way, it might be up to you to assuage the fears of someone that's even less certain than you are. Walk with pride and beauty while you are on this humble mission. It pays to at least look like you know what you're doing.

This year's FREE Astro Profile for:

Name: Rune
Date of Birth: February 17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rune's Sun Sign is Aquarius ...
Your sign, dear Rune, is the eleventh of the zodiac and is considered to be the sign of perspective, the future, and new projects. The water bearer symbolizes intellectual development through communication and innovation. Of all signs, you are the most idealistic and humanitarian, with a strong sense of community and fraternity.

Your ruler Uranus, the planet of change and revolution, represents originality and a strong drive for adventure and freedom. Uranus is also called the rebel planet, and its energy is radical, sudden, and unpredictable.

Aquarius is the third of the three air signs, which means that your intellectuality is expressed as an intuitive grasp of universal principles, along with a concern for the universal well-being of humanity.

Aquarius rules the eleventh house of the chart, Rune, the sector associated with friends and groups, intellectual pleasures, socializing, and attitude toward society. However, it also describes personal hopes and wishes, as well as collective trends and humanitarian issues.

Yours is a fixed sign, which means that you resist manipulative behavior. You form your own opinion, however unusual it may be, and refuse to adapt. If someone dares to push, pull, or pressure you, they will definitely get to know your stubborn and eccentric side.

Your strengths, Rune, definitely are that you are accepting and sympathetic to many points of view, and are equipped to understand each of them. This wide sphere of understanding causes you to be idiosyncratic. You are an unusually independent and wildly unique individual with a profound spiritual bent. Your intuition, loyalty, and resourcefulness make you a fun person to be around.

Naturally, you have some weaknesses, too, the most pronounced one being that you can be erratic in your actions. At times, you can be scattered and unrealistic, and confuse your own will with the greater will. Sometimes you can also be detached so that others see you as cold and inaccessible.

Your Rising Sign is Leo ...
Leo Rising, you present yourself with dignity, energy, and will. You are able to engage and fascinate people by displaying an incredible amount of self-assurance, and an exquisite sense of courteousness. In some cases, Rune, you may even enter into and dominate a situation without being invited, and once you are center stage, you begin your show, very attentive to the audience's applause. Your creativity, mixed with a touch of drama, usually gets you the attention you want, because you strive on the vital energy you receive through recognition and admiration. Sometimes, when you are alone, you turn to the mirror admiring and studying yourself, wondering how others see and think of you.

You can definitely be considered a force of nature, Rune, because you never seem to run out of energy. You enjoy a practically indestructible confidence in yourself, which allows you to accomplish great things. When you use your powers for good, you are as generous, humane, open-minded, and faithful as can be, and enjoy sharing your experience with others. You are supportive, loyal, and benevolent, which is the reason why people love and respect you. However, when you use your powers for selfish reasons, your intense personality may suffer from arrogance, autocratic pride, egocentrism and extreme narcissism.

As a Leo Rising, you may have a hard time being independent, in the sense that you take action only after getting other people's opinions on those actions. However, if you act according to your deepest aspirations, without necessarily obtaining other people's approval, you can become the most powerful of all, dear Rune. Behind all the sparkle on the outside, you are a very tender, sensitive person with a heart of gold.

STUDY FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
From February 17, 2001 to February 16, 2002

The Year's Atmosphere

From Saturday 10 to Thursday 22 March 2001
The forces in the present configuration will focus on your social life. It is probable that the relationship you have with "authorities" will cause you to be under fire because of your intransigence. This is related to your need for freedom of expression and your behavior: you refuse to make any concessions! So you risk having conflicts with the established order in various forms. This could be positive and negative: you may have to confront the judicial system in your country, get the support of an influential person, be challenged in a foreign country, or have a sexual relationship with someone who can open up new social perspectives, etc.

From Sunday 25 March to Thursday 6 September 200
and From Friday 4 January to Friday 1 March 2002
You are entering into a phase of your life in which your hopes and dreams for the future are important. You will realize that the quickest way to reach your goals is to stop trying to do everything on your own and to participate fully in the social group to which you belong. Seeing yourself and your role in society from a new angle will also have positive repercussions on the quality of your interpersonal relationships, be it will your family or others. This is what will give you the energy that you need to attain even your wildest dreams. Your idealistic aspirations coupled with this newly found harmony in your relationships could prompt you to join an organization that espouses the same values that you uphold. However, before getting involved with such a group, take time to observe them beforehand to avoid getting caught up in one of the sect-like groups that are so widespread today.

From Sunday 1 to Thursday 19 April 2001
Expect to have some relatively difficult moments in the weeks to come because of certain obligations that you thought you had gotten rid of, at a moment when you least expected it. This situation won't make you very happy because you thought you had gotten rid of these commitments. You will find it frustrating that certain decisions you made are now in question. Still, you'll make an effort to stick to your commitments because it would be dishonest to try and get out of them responsibilities and you would be criticized for it. It is possible that you will have some difficulties in your relationships at work and in your private life. This period will show you that there is a time for everything: it could make you uncomfortable to go down a new path before having reached the end of the one you are on!

From Wednesday 16 to Wednesday 23 May 2001
and From Monday 7 January to Friday 1 March 2002
You will be questioning your relationships with friends, family and everyone around you in general. There will be a profound change in your attitudes and thinking patterns because old ones no longer correspond to who you are. In other words, you will feel too dependent on others and want to change this situation. You will find it unbearable to have lost your affective autonomy to such and extent - you've counted too much on others to lessen your suffering. It is unbearable as well to be constantly understanding of others and making compromises. You ardently want to put the puzzle that is your personality back together! Your approach will be reasonable and intelligent if you don't fall into excess by brutally cutting off your relationships. You will have to concentrate your energies to find the right balance between what you want and what others want to find your balance again. This will give your life new force and fulfillment.

From Thursday 17 to Friday 25 May 2001
The forces present in your birth chart will make you question your ideas in general - your opinions and beliefs about life. This will be the opportunity for you to discover your profound aspirations and what you should go towards if you hope to have a richer, more gratifying life. Outside aid will be there whatever direction you take, but the common denominator will be change: indeed, it is by opening up new horizons through studying, traveling, meeting new people or grabbing opportunities in your professional life that you will get close to your objectives.

From Friday 25 May to Tuesday 12 June 2001
How you use the large array of possibilities that this configuration offers will depend in great part on the current circumstance in your life. It is probable that you will be confronted by a rather hard reality that is all the more difficult to face because you have played the ostrich up to now. You will have to face yourself and your responsibilities which will perhaps force you to lower your social ambitions. You will have to be patient and work a lot harder to maintain your current social level. It is possible that because of the number of commitments you have that you will tempted to question the validity of some of them. But you should work on developing greater self control.

From Sunday 17 June 2001 to Friday 1 March 2002
The time has come for you to confront the realities of society and to implement the knowledge you have gleaned from observing things in the field. You are now ready to offer your own abilities to the social group you belong to and to work with them, if it is still within this context that you see your success. This more open communication and dialog will help to propel you to new levels of responsibility, which will be the reward for your efforts. You will have an even more positive attitude than normal and you will get the impression that you can do anything. However, you should be extremely wary of this feeling - if you let it go to your head you could lose all of the benefit of your efforts. On the other hand, if you remain modest about it, this progress could last a while.

From Wednesday 4 to Thursday 12 July 2001
A desire to affirm yourself will mark this period. You will want to do this in new domains outside of daily routines so difficult to escape from. You will refuse to be part of the never-ending merry-go-round of daily life and want to explore new horizons, taste new forms of liberty and discover unknown dimensions in your existence. This sudden impulsiveness could show itself at any instant like a volcano erupting and take the form of an interior voyage or one abroad! This will be a very enriching, intellectual period because you will be receptive to anything that is unknown to you and be ready to sweep away old ways of thinking and preconceived ideas - as long as this allows you to assimilate new concepts. This will also be a lucky period in your life. Sudden opportunities could present themselves and dramatically modify your future plans in a beneficial way.

From Wednesday 1 to Monday 13 August 2001
The forces in the present configuration will focus on your social life. It is probable that the relationship you have with "authorities" will cause you to be under fire because of your intransigence. This is related to your need for freedom of expression and your behavior: you refuse to make any concessions! So you risk having conflicts with the established order in various forms. This could be positive and negative: you may have to confront the judicial system in your country, get the support of an influential person, be challenged in a foreign country, or have a sexual relationship with someone who can open up new social perspectives, etc.

From Tuesday 8 January to Friday 1 March 2002
Something's rotten in Denmark! Here is a saying that resumes the sentiment you will have around this period which marked by change, to say the very least! Unfortunately, these changes won't happen without some turmoil. Some things will have to change in your life and you will be conscious that only the force of an important event will be able to get you out of chains of the past to push you towards the future. So you will have to make a choice. You will discover the aspects of your behavior that repeat themselves and that hold you back. This awareness will give you a higher capacity to direct your life without being dependent on your emotions or preconceived ideas. This means that you have greater freedom and liberty.
