i think for the most part, aquarius is the most eccentric, and pisces the most open-minded, accepting, even experimental in their own rite. That's where these two signs meet in the middle and can find common ground. Pisces will also accept an aqua's quirks and eccentricities and not judge. As for sag, i've never heard of eccentricity with this particular sign..*unless maybe a strong aquarian influence in the chart, or a strongly aspected Uranus.

As for Uranus; just look to the house where this planet resides in your chart to find out where you personally express your own brand of originality and uniqueness. (For me; uranus in the 5th house of creativity and pleasure. Mars also resides in the 5th.)

"So dear Mystic you have a Uranus conjunct Mars, cool!"

Actually i have Uranus conjunct Pluto, FD! 😉 Strangely Mars and Uranus are in different signs, but in the (same) house, because Uranus is at only 3 degrees, and a planet cannot go into the next house unless it is of the same degree or (lower). The next house starts at 9 degrees. That's why you can have planets of different signs in the same house.

The Aquas I know are eccentric because they want to be devil's advocate and go against the grain even if they don't really think/feel/want to act that way. They will just because it's the opposite of what *somebody* wants. On the "true" eccentric side - most have a hard time socially/emotionally. Especially when it comes to relationships.

Of the Sags I know - some are trying to be eccentric/different/weird but it's not in an aggressive or argumentative way like the Aquas, it's just for "fun." Other than that, they tend to just be willing to go along and do what they want without worrying about what other people think which might make them seem eccentric, but they're just "free spirited." My best friend growing up was a Sag and she was the awesomest! 🙂

I've noticed, eccentricity has a negative connentation to it. For most people eccentricity is viewed as thoughts with no direction, irregular behaviour, whimsical, living in a dream world ... bordering on madness.

However, Edith Sitwell said "Eccentricity is not, as some would believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd"

As far as Aquarians go, this i agree with ".... are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd".

I am an Aquarian ....

Most of the comments/opinions here are coming from people who aren't Aquarius people. I am an Aquarius so I'm going to tell you my opinion.

If you look at Aquarian celebrities, do they look eccentric? FAR beyond eccentric. In fact, they look like normal and charming people. At this link, http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/03/19/most-eccentric-celebrities, is a list of the most eccentric celebrities. With each celebrity, I looked up their birthdates and not ONE of them were Aquarius. They were, to pick a few, either Leo, Virgo, Cancer or Aries (as far as I can remember). Various other websites have their lists of eccentric celebrities and the majority of them were NOT Aquarius, either. So, with this source to back up with my opinion, Aquarius are not eccentric as other signs.

Secondly, this begs the question, "How can Aquarians be charming and extremely good-looking if they are eccentric?". Take a moment and answer that. Trick question, right?

Thirdly, I am an Aquarius myself, and I can tell you, I am 0% eccentric. I've even asked my family and friends if I am eccentric, and guess what all of them told me? "What? Eccentric? Haha, no way!" They LAUGHED at it. They actually thought it was stupid enough that I asked that question. Also, I know heaps of Aquarians, wether I'd be family or friend, that are NOT eccentric and love the latest trends and look perfectly normal LIKE I DO.

So yeah, in conclusion, I strongly hold the belief that Aquarians are NOT eccentric at all. This comes with sources, from websites, that also show the majority of eccentric celebrities are 1.5% Aquarius, in my opinion.
