The Water Bearer symbolizes Aquarius, the eleventh sign of the zodiac. When you hear the phrase of marching to the beat of a different drummer, think Aquarius. Aquarians are ruled by Uranus, the planet of rebellion, sudden (and often destructive) change and of disruption; and also by Saturn, the planet of responsibility, limitation and discipline. This combination gives Aquarians the independence and progressiveness to change, without getting caught up in the drama of the situation. Logic and intelligence prevails when objectivity and detachment are around. Aquarius is a fixed air sign, allowing persistence and a quick mind to characterize those born under this sign.
Aquarius rules the eleventh house of friends and institutions and indeed Aquarians seem to be friendly to everyone. Their affable, witty nature helps them to appear out going and social, enjoying groups and parties. They have a humanitarian spirit and a social conscience, favoring the under-dog and the oppressed. They make loyal and generous friends, although Aquarians rarely let people in on a deep or personal level. This detachment can make them appear aloof, but actually, Aquarians are shy and lacking in confidence, so hold people at bay with their quicksilver banter, wry opinions and astute observations. They divert intimacy with clever and original mental distractions, running from any relationship that would make them feel tied down or corralled. Freedom is too important to this independent Water Bearer. Essential oils can help with fear of intimacy and shyness. Oils that open up people with intimacy issues are rose, neroli, ylang ylang, benzoin, lavender and frankincense. Oils that inspire confidence are bergamot, cypress, helichrysum, lavender, rosemary, petitgrain, orange, rose, frankincense, clary sage and cedarwood.
Aquarians are visionaries. They are inventive and quick minded, and love spending time thinking about how to make the world a better place. Oils that assist in a visionary capacity are angelica, frankincense, elemi, galbanum, neroli, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, bergamot, chamomile, cypress, vetiver, cardamom, melissa, patchouli, palmarosa and spikenard. Creating the vision of a better world is a collaborative effort for the Aquarian. These progressive souls are quick to engage others in their process, seeing everyone as equal in the team. Aquarians soldier on relentlessly, following their own instincts in their own rhythm. They trust nothing that can’t be logically proven or objectively demonstrated. They are always moving a project forward, seeing some new and innovative way to reinvent the wheel. They sometimes can be stubborn and unswerving in their ideas of what should happen, and this hard-headedness can alienate friends who find their behavior tactless. Oils that soften the hard stubborn edges of personality are coriander, lemon, peppermint, rose, chamomile, marjoram, lavender, mandarin, ylang ylang, juniper and sage.
Aquarians make good scientists, researchers and inventors. They love anything that has to do with energy and could follow in trade as an electrician, or find themselves in TV or radio. New age Aquarians would be drawn to esoteric forms of energy and could easily be Reiki Masters, Feng Shui experts, acupuncturists or hands-on healers. Oils that support the healing practices are practically all of them, but in particular, the high vibrational absolutes like rose, jasmine, lavender, hyacinth, melissa, linden blossom, carnation, champaca, immortelle, lotus, violet leaf, neroli, vetiver, and myrrh, as well as ylang ylang, sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense, angelica, rosemary, elemi, and vanilla.
They say that the Age of Aquarius is upon us, where we all will feel
the influence of this progressive, exciting, questing, and visionary
energy stir within us. We will all be challenged to move forward in our
personal evolution, rebelling against the old Piscean way of doing
things. Humanitarianism will be a key word in our collective vocabulary,
as we all strive to make this world a better place.
Bring it on, Aquarius!
Aquarius
Aquarius individual is rather smart and creative. They know what they want and are willing to work hard to get it, even if it takes a lot of patience and persistence. They’re known for being deep thinkers who aren’t always the best at expressing themselves through communication. However, it’s often easier to read their body language to tell when something is upsetting them or making them feel a certain way.
Aquarius individuals like to think for themselves, making important decisions without always speaking to others. They don’t follow trends and simply go for what they like rather than choosing something because it’s popular or because it’s something that other people like.
Because they don’t always go with the flow, the Aquarius personality is associated with scents that are bold and fruity like orange, lemon, lime, and ylang-ylang. With ingredients like orange, ylang-ylang, and frankincense, Zen diffuser is the perfect diffuser for an Aquarius.
