The Aquarian mind works outside the usual patterns. Aquarius won't go along with an idea just because «everyone does it»; it questions things by its own logic and, if necessary, stands against them alone. Original ideas, forward-looking projects, new technologies and social issues excite it. It is friendly and outspoken, yet stays somewhat emotionally detached.
