To fully appreciate the mythological significance of Aquarius, it is necessary to bear in mind the importance of water to our ancestors. The very existence of the ancients depended upon the supply of life sustaining moisture. During the month of Aquarius, the rains were on the land, literally poured from the heavens. In many regions of the ancient world, this was seen as the beginning the new year, a time of new life cycles. It is not hard to understand why some images depict the figure of Aquarius as a water bearing angel or other divine being.

The region of the night sky in which Aquarius resides is populated by water signs. In Babylonia, this region of the zodiac was known as the Sea.To the Greeks, Aquarius was associated with Ganymede, the son of Tros, king of Phrygia. The god Zeus, so admired the boy's beauty that, disguised as an eagle, he abducted him to serve as cup bearer on mount Olympus. It was this desire to possess the young prince which inspired Zeus to cast his image eternally in the night sky.
I have been testing my Aqua male lately...not purposely testing...what causes me to do this is that he is so damn quiet! He seems content...but, doesn't give me enough positive feedback!!

What ends up happening is that I will ask a question abou

Can someone let me in on the Aqua mind?

Are you "thinkers?". I have this male friend and boy does he like to talk! About everything! He is always thinking...I have a feeling that if he doesn't just live and enjoy the moments that his brain is

Who has five and ten years to wait around for a person to make a serious committment, such as marriage? And why does it so long for them to pop the question or accept?

From the aquarian women, i have encountered, i feel they have to get attention or some sort of recognition for every little thing. Who cares if anyone notices? What's ironic is when they finally get attention, they appear modest. Get it together!

Do Aquarians dream too much? do we look too far beyond reality and aim too high for ourselves? And how do we stop ourselves when all we know is to dream and dream and dream? i don't think i'd be the same if i didn't dream and hope for a better way.
