A MESSAGE FROM THE ASTROTWINS
Astrologers Tali & Ophira Edut

DEAR AQUARIUS,
There’s no mistake you were born under your sign. The moment you
arrived was created just for you—and there will never be another one
like it. Your astrological sign, which is determined by the date and
time you were born, gifted you with unique talents, beauty, strength
and challenges. Just as there are billions of stars in the sky, there’s only
one you in the universe. (As identical
twins, we can attest to this!) So we’re
here to help you be your ultimate
best, with the cosmos as your guide.

Let’s face it: life isn’t always easy. There

will be tough times and obstacles to
face. Life is full of questions: Who’s
my best love match? How can I make
more money, or find the job of my
dreams? When should I get married,
take a vacation, start a family, nurture
my health? Understanding yourself
better makes it easier to answer those
questions, and that's where the zo-
diac can help. So consider this book
a roadmap to your soul, an operating
manual for your life.

Truth is, you already have everything Photographed by Tracy Toler

you need to live the life of your dreams. It’s just about knowing what TracyToler.com
makes you shine, then polishing that diamond. So whether you’re a
princess cut or a solitaire, finding the perfect setting is the key to claim-
ing the rich, fulfilling life that’s your birthright!

ALL ABOUT AQUARIUS

You’re a total free spirit who is BFFs with the world.

A quarius is the sign of friendship, and you cre-

ate an extended family with your ever-growing
entourage. Although you may look like the girl next
door, you’re anything but that. Offbeat, avante-garde,
and downright revolutionary people fascinate you.
Your sign rules the future, and you’re always trying to
discover the next best thing. A tastemaker and trend-
setter, your light years ahead of pop culture, and love
introducing your crew to new and unusual experi-
ences. Practical jokes are your specialty and you hate
when people take themselves too seriously. People
love to be around you because you’re naturally so ac-
cepting and fun. Remember to give some of that love
to yourself, too. Be careful not to hide behind your
friends or get lost in a group. You make a great leader
and can really stand out as an individual, too.

The Aquarius body type can be athletic, even boyish. Since you

invest in shoes with ankle straps, bright ballet
flats, or high boots with a side buckle.

HOME DECOR
Home is a high-traffic zone for Aquarius, so why not turn it into an art gallery?

A quarius rules all things modern and futuristic, and your home should reflect that. By-
pass the antiques and overstuffed sofas, and furnish with strong, graphic pieces like a
contemporary leather sofa on a steel frame. Skip the rugs and opt for bare hardwood floors
and modern materials like glass and steel. It may be less cozy, but
you like it that way. You’ll have plenty of friends dropping by, so
create a space that accommodates high traffic and cleans up eas-
ily. With your soft spot for animals, you probably have a few pets
around, too.

Aquarius is the water–bearer sign, so fill your home with vases

and pitchers. If you’ve got the means, add an indoor waterfall, a
goldfish pond or a soothing Zen fountain. You love vibrant hues
and the colors of the ocean, like blue, violet, indigo and salmon.
As an air sign, you need a roomy space with lots of ventilation,
too. Sunlight, big windows, dangling plants and a kitchen with
hanging pots create the airy feeling of space you crave.

Aquarians have great taste, and you’ll

accessorize with colorful paintings and
treasures. You love to fill your home
with totally unique touches, like hand-
painted tiles or blown-glass light fix-
tures designed by a talented local artist.
You also love mixed–medium work, like
sculptures combining metal and wood,
or hanging mobiles of wire and glass.
Graphic prints go great on your wall,
and as the sign of revolutionary, you may
frame photos of political icons. With
your natural creativity, you could even
display your own artwork.

Since you barely sleep, keep your bed-

room simple, and turn the spare bed-
room into a home office. Invest in a
grand desk and the latest computer, with a jumbo monitor and tiny, space-age speakers.
You’ll spend plenty of time chatting with friends, e-mailing and brewing up your next big
idea. Make it your haven!

FITNESS & HEALTH
Active, energetic Aquarius is a team player by nature.

Body Part
Ankles, circulatory system

Health & Fitness Style

Aquarius is an active, energetic sign. In fact, you can be
quite a gym rat. You like working out in a club, where
the buzz of other people stirs your natural competi-
tiveness. You’re an air sign, so breathing and circula-
tion are crucial components of your fitness plan. Yoga,
boxing, power-walks with friends—do anything that
keeps the energy flowing. Your airy nature can make
you a great gymnast, and since you rule the ankles,
you could excel at ice hockey, running, soccer or roller
derby. Aquarius is the sign of groups, so try a team
sport, or join a triathalon club. Be careful not to drive
yourself too hard when you compete. You can be brutal
in your quest to win!

Food & Eating Habits

Aquarians tend to be healthy, tuned in to the latest di-
etary innovations. You’ll follow a fitness guru’s eating
plan and remain disciplined for years. As the sign that
rules groups, you’re the ultimate team player. Join a
sailing crew, a soccer league, or combine fitness with
your humanitarian nature, and train for a charity mara-
thon. A social sign, you love big group dinners. Your Cory Verellen, LandCameras.com

favorite activity is ordering a la carte with your posse at a
favorite restaurant. However, you’ll easily overload on por-
tions, or snack on appetizers instead of ordering a proper
meal. With your nervous energy and hardworking nature,
you may grab too many meals on the go. Aim for a balance
between nutritious and indulgent choices.

Keeping That Glow

Aquarius rules the circulatory system, so keep your flow
steady with breathing exercises and regular movement.
You can be nervous, even restless, and tend to ignore your
body’s signals when you’re working hard. Slow down and
de-stress with a monthly massage or facial. As an air sign,
an outdoor jog does wonders, especially along the beach
on a windy day. You’re the zodiac’s water bearer, so keep
on chugging the H2O to keep yourself hydrated and ener-
gized. Vent your anger too, as holding it in or trying to be
“above it all” can lead to emotional eating.

AQUARIUS IN LOVE
Is it possible to find both a best friend and a soulmate in one?

When it comes to love, Aquarius is a funny crea-

ture. You’re an idealist who believes in true love,
and you’re always searching for a best friend and
soulmate in one. On the other hand, your sign
rules casual connections, and you guard your
independence fiercely. While you have friends
by the thousands and you’re totally laid-back
around them, you can be neurotic and unpre-
dictable with your romantic partners.

Just figuring out what you want—and sticking

to it—is enough of a challenge for ever-shifting
Aquarius. Your sign is ruled by Uranus, the plan-
et of surprises and sudden moves. We’ve seen
countless Aquarians marry young and out of the
blue, only to divorce just as suddenly.

The real issue? You may look like the boy or girl
next door, but most Aquarians are eccentric be- Cory Verellen, LandCameras.com
ings. What’s in that package may be quite differ-
ent than the often clean-cut wrapper suggests. Although you may come across as light and
superficial, you’re a true visionary with a lot of complex layers, and you may secretly believe
that nobody can truly understand you. This leads you to settle for less-qualified candidates,
just to avoid being alone.

Rather than get hung up on a bad match (you can obsess over a breakup for years), Aquar-
ians should mingle in social circles that reflect your deepest interests. Aquarius is the sign
of groups, friendship and humanitarian pursuits. Join a network of people who share your
beliefs—like environmental protection or animal rights—and you’ll likely meet a mate who
shares your ideals. Wouldn’t you love to date a best friend with whom you can kick back,
laugh AND save the world?

Since you need lots of freedom, you may be drawn to a long-distance relationship. Unconven-
tional living arrangements are not uncommon in Aquarius romances. You may wish to keep
your own residence even after you’ve declared your matrimonial vows. Connecting with your
partner on the mental plane is far more important than seeing them in the flesh every day.

 love.
You’d rather be sending “I miss you” e-mails from
a spiritual pilgrimage than having the same “how
was your day, dear?” conversation after a predict-
able day.

As the sign of the rebel, you’re not above a good

controversy, so it all comes out in the wash. You
love to shock people. Just make sure you don’t base
your romantic choices on the need to prove a point.
If your family has pressured you to tie the knot, you
could spend years giving them the proverbial finger
and refusing to engage in a long-term relationship.
While you should always maintain your indepen-
dence, don’t be afraid to put down roots and dis-
cover how commitment can actually set you free!
You bring so much fun, creativity and wackiness to
a relationship, there’s no reason you shouldn’t enjoy
inventing a romance with your own funky spin.

BREAKUP RECOVERY
How your sign can move on when the honeymoon is over.

The Breakup Breakdown

A quarius, you may act oh-so cool, but breakups rattle
you. Underneath your lighthearted facade, you harbor
many insecurities—and breakup stress triggers your neurotic
side. The signals show through your body language. Sudden-
ly, you’re all twitchy, full of nervous energy and adrenaline.
You may go into overdrive, doing a million tasks or talking
at lightning speed about all the other things you’re worried
about—money, work, often anything besides the simple fact
that you’re hurting.

Take a deep breath. We know it’s a shock to your system, but

have a dificult time accessing your feelings until life forces you to deal. Consider this:
emotions are stored as energy, and when we block them, they get stuck. Since Aquarius
rules circulation, you need to let your emotions pass through you like electricity run-
ning through a wire. Go for a run on the beach, or do some breathing exercises, book
a session with a Reiki master, energy healer, or acupuncturist.

If you simply can’t get out of your funk, do some volunteer work. Aquarius is a
humanitarian sign. Making a difference for others will remind you of how privileged
you actually are, and lend you some needed perspective.

Heart Healing Tips for Aquarius
GIVE YOURSELF A REALITY CHECK.
Air-sign Aquarius lives in the clouds when it comes to love. With
your active imagination, you can turn a total loser into a knight
in shining armor. Your experimental tastes draw you to unusual
people whom you label “fascinating”—but they’re often com-
pletely incapable of a real commitment. One Aquarius friend
bragged about her “amazing artist” boyfriend. A year later, she
was still supporting him while he “found the courage to paint
again.” Puh-leeze! Another Aquarian accepted a marriage pro-
posal after two weeks of dating a foreign grad student looking to
extend his Visa...but no, it was truly love! (When she vacillated
for too long, he disappeared on the pink bicycle he’d rode in
on—no kidding.) Ask yourself: did I mistake CRAZY for inter-
esting? Learn to make smarter choices next time.

A LITTLE ANGER MANAGEMENT, ANYONE?

Aquarius, you’re hard on yourself, and when you feel rejected,
anger may be the only emotion you’re comfortable expressing.
You cover up your pain with a “screw you” attitude—or even Cory Verellen, LandCameras.com
with explosive anger. One Aquarius we knew slashed a guy’s
tires on his graduation day—an inflated response since he’d only
taken her out a couple times, and it was eight months prior.
Before you get all “fatal attraction,” take another deep breath. It’s
okay to be upset if a relationship doesn’t work out. Don’t pre-
tend you don’t care! Another Aquarius just insisted he was “over
the breakup,” but 10 years later, he still refused to have a serious
relationship because he was so angry inside. Deal with the pain
and you’ll have an easier time leaving it behind.

MAKE A LIST. Photograph by Ranny Kang

What do you want in a partner? Write it down. We know you’re
a free spirit and you don’t like to commit because you’re so open-
minded and blah blah blah. But everyone has their “dealbreakers”
and traits that make them happy. Don’t refuse to acknowledge
what you want or set goals, for fear of being limited. Somebody
once said that “a goal is just a dream with a deadline.” Unless
you ground yourself in a few of those dreams, you may drift
from one bad match to the next. Why waste time with the wrong
person when you could be with the right one?

casual and informal reception is just your speed,
and a funky location could make it a real blast. Try
a modern art gallery, a loft space, even a planetar-
ium or aquarium! An enclosed-glass atrium or an
outdoor tent with hanging Asian lanterns can give
you the airy vibe you love. For summer weddings,
print your programs on stylish fans that double as
favors. You’re the sign of the water bearer, so a pool
party or beach wedding could be fun for you, too.
Or, incorporate a watery feel into your decor. For
example, you could set the table with aquamarine
rippled-glass chargers over a white table cloth. The
reflecting light will cast a pattern that resembles the
waves on an ocean floor. Decorate with vases, urns
and vessels, even little fishbowls as centerpieces.
Serve signature cocktails in bright, aquatic blue.

CAREER & LIFE PURPOSE

Future-forward Aquarius needs a career on the cutting edge.

The Aquarius path

Independent Aquarius loves freedom, and you need a career with
room to express your individuality. Entrepreneurship was made
for your sign! At the same time, Aquarius is the sign of groups and
teams. You work well in an office environment, provided it’s not
too strict of a setting. You rebel under the supervision of anyone
bossy or controlling. You’re best either leading a team, or working
in a position that gives you lots of breathing room.

With your gift of gab and hilarious jokes, you can sell just about
anything. Like Aquarius Oprah Winfrey, you genuinely love inter-
acting with people, and you’re naturally curious about everyone.
It’s not uncommon for Aquarians to become personal friends with
your clients. Commission-based jobs don’t faze you. In fact, you
rise to the challenge. Cold calling, which other signs dread, is a

Pitfalls to avoid
Sloppy with details. Entrepreneurship appeals to
your free spirit, but you can be impatient and sloppy
with details. If you open your own business, team up
with a Capricorn or Virgo. These grounded earth signs
will handle the mundane administrative tasks you hate.
Make sure you have a good lawyer and accountant,
since you like making deals on a handshake. You’re
at your best selling people on your vision or product,
so funnel your energy towards being the rainmaker
instead of hte drone.

You’re a natural team player, but authority figures tend

to get under your skin. It’s important that you develop
a friendly, open connection with your boss, otherwise,
you can turn into a rebellious teen at work, raging
against the so-called machine. While it’s tough for you
to respect the chain of command (you’d prefer every-
one to be on an equal playing field), you’d benefit from
taking on the role of the boss. This gives you compas-
sion for what it takes to run the show—yup, it’s a lot
of work. Surprise! Your funloving, visionary spirit and
cooperative nature give you the makings of a great boss
too. The one caveat: it can be tough for you to stop

TRAVEL
A nomad at heart, you’re already planning your next adventure.

A s the zodiac’s nomad, you love to travel.

You can’t stand being confined! Group
travel appeals to you, so book a trip with your
closest pals or sign up for a study abroad pro-
gram. You love to share the journey, and enjoy
chit-chatting with your friends as you explore
new terrain. Since you need regular escapes
from your everyday surroundings, you prefer
to travel as far from home as possible, espe-
cially overseas. A vacation home where you can
invite friends is a great investment.

If you travel alone, you won’t be unaccompa-

nied for long. Aquarians make friends every-
where. Your first night in Rome could find
you sipping red wine with the local gelato-
maker—even if you don’t speak Italian! Before
you know it, you’re practically a local. Once that happens, your
wanderlust calls, and it’s time to move on. You don’t like to get
attached when you travel.

With your Bohemian or New Age leanings, you may travel on a

spiritual pilgrimage or a vision quest. Hitchhiking through India,
following the Dalai Lama or attending a Native American sweat

lodge—no idea is too out-there for you. You could also travel for a
creative project, especially one connected to a cause, such as film-
ing a documentary about a lesser-known culture.

You’re spontaneous and unpredictable, so it’s anyone’s guess where

you’ll go next. There’s a wide world to wander, and nobody loves
to explore it more than you do!

ENTERTAINING
Kick off your shoes and kick up your heels. It’s an Aquarius party.

A
Cory Verellen, LandCameras.com
quarius is the sign of groups and friends, so you’re
right at home in the middle of a big bash. With your
outrageous jokes and boisterous laugh, you turn every
party into a full–on fiesta. You’ve got tons of friends,
and you tend to be quite popular, even while rebel-
ling against cliques and the status quo. In fact, it’s your
trademark Aquarian individuality—like those sarcastic
comments that crack everyone up—that wins you so
many fans. Taken too far, though, your “girls gone wild”
vibe may alienate loyal friends, creating a fair share of
frienemies in the process.

You love parties, but you’re not big on fuss. A casual,

festive vibe is just your speed. As a spontaneous soul,
you happily host friends any night of the week. You’ll
open a few bags of tortilla chips, dump canned salsa
into some pretty blue bowls, and throw open the
doors. As the crowd rolls in, you’ll air-kiss them, con-
nect the people whom you’ve been dying to introduce,
and whirl through the party welcoming everyone. That
said, when you’re ready to pull out all the stops, you spare
no expense. You’ll spend hours in the kitchen preparing a
themed dinner or passed h’ors de oeuvres that would wow a
professional chef.

Aquarians love to improve society, so throw a charity benefit

and take donations at the door. You’d rather have people put
dollars toward your favorite cause—animal rights or an arts
endowment—than shower you with presents. Unusual ideas
appeal to you, so your parties should have highly original
twists. No matter what, everyone in your presence will have
an entertaining time with lots of laughter. And isn’t that what
parties are for, anyway?

FAMILY DYNAMICS
For social Aquarius, friends become part of your extended family.

F amily for Aquarius does not require shared DNA. As the zodiac’s so-
cial organizer, your ever-expanding entourage may become your de
facto extended family. You’re an idealist and a visionary. In order to feel
‘related’ to people you need a shared outlook on life. This doesn’t always
come through your bloodline, but if it does, lucky you! You’ll be BFFs
with any relatives who see the world through the same colorful kaleido-
scope that you do.

In spite of idealogical differences, you are the zodiac’s ultimate team

player. Even if your family drives you crazy, you remain loyal and help-
ful to the end. You bring a friendly, funloving energy to family gather-
ings. If anyone’s going to kick off the beach volleyball game, fire up the
barbecue, or bring the cooler filled with refreshments, you’re it. You’ll
get everyone laughing and talking too, from your 80-year old great aunt
to the wee nieces and nephews with whom you have a special affinity.
You’re a big kid yourself, after all!

With your adventurous spirit, you may be too busy hopping from
Goa to Ibiza to Burning Man to remember to have children. If you do
become a parent, that Baby Bjorn is sure to get a workout. You’re not
one to sit at home for long. Your offspring will just have to trek along
on your fantastic voyage.

Issue to Manage: Judgmentalism

Although you want to think of yourself as open-minded, you don’t have
much tolerance for relatives whose ideals are different than your own.
You may judge them as “backwards” or “small-minded,” putting them in
a box they can never lift out of. Learn the art of “agreeing to disagree”
rather than trying to convince them to see things your way. Otherwise,
anger can ensue. PS: Your temper can be explosive, burning bridges and
whole branches of your family tree.
 Yes, your kids DO come with instructions.

FRIENDSHIP
A quarius is the sign of friendship and teamwork. You
tend to be more focused on the group than the individ-
ual, and often have trouble letting youself get really close to
people. Aquarians dream of making the world a better place,
and may actually be more generous with the general public
than you are with your own friends and family. Running off
and joining the Peace Corps you can handle. Should a friend
show up bawling on your doorstep, however, you may be
overwhelmed by the intensity of it all. Your heart is big and
you will try to help. But you’ll feel a little bit trapped by the

PLANETS & THEIR MEANINGS
How do the planets affect you? Every planet orbits the sun at a different
speed, going slower and slower the farther they are from the sun. Each one
is said to affect a different part of your personality.

The “inner planets”— the sun, moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus—move
quickly through the zodiac. As a result, they affect your day-to-day life,
moods and habits.

The “outer planets” — Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto — move
slowly, changing signs every 1-12 years. As a result, they shape the bigger
trends in your life. In fact, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto orbit the sun so
slowly that they’re said to shape entire generations.

Each planet is associated with a zodiac sign, and that sign will exhibit traits
of the planet. For example, turbo-charged Aries is ruled by warrior planet
Mars. Cheerful Sagittarius is ruled by optimistic Jupiter. If you want to learn
more about your sign, look no further than its ruling planet! (P.S. We still
look at Pluto as a “real” planet, even though astronomers have diminished its
status to “dwarf planet.” Its impact is undeniable in astrology.)

THE 12 HOUSES OF THE ZODIAC
Like a clock, the zodiac is divided into 12 segments, or houses,
each one ruled by a different sign. The zodiac begins with the
first house, and goes counterclockwise around. Each house is
associated with a set of traits, beginning from the self, and ex-
panding outward into society and beyond. At the moment you
were born, the planets were all in specific signs and houses.
When an astrologer interprets your chart, she blends the mean-
ing of each planet, the house it’s in, and the sign it’s in, to map
the obstacles or gifts you’ll face in this lifetime.

When planets visit a house, they light up that part of your chart,
and energize that house’s traits. Astrologers use the houses to
predict which parts of your life will come into focus, and where
you can take the best possible action. To learn more about a
house, read about the sign that’s associated with it.

THE ELEMENTS:
FIRE, EARTH, AIR & WATER
The twelve zodiac signs are grouped into four “elements”—fire, earth, air and water. Each of
these elementary groups has distinct traits. Together, they form the natural world, so each is
in some way dependent on the other.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

FIRE SIGNS
Like fire itself, fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. Fire can keep
you warm, or it can do great destruction. While fire burns out quickly without fuel to keep it
going, it can also regenerate its power from the ashes. A single spark can set off a forest fire.
As a result, fire signs need to be nurtured and managed carefully.

AIR SIGNS
Air signs are all about action, ideas, and motion—they are the “winds of change.” When a
strong gust hits you, you can’t help but move. While some within their ranks may be true-
life “airheads,” others are as powerful as a gravity-defying G-force. Air signs bring everyone a
breath of fresh air when things start to get stale. Like the breeze, you can’t quite catch them,
and you never know where they’ll drop you once they sweep you up. It will almost always be
an adventure, though.

EARTH SIGNS
Earth signs keep it real. They are the “grounded” people on the planet, the ones who bring us
down to earth and remind us to start with a solid foundation. Slow and steady, these “build-
ers” are loyal and stable, and stick by their people through hard times. On good days, they’re
practical; at worst, they can be materialistic or too focused on the surface of things to dig into
the depths.

WATER SIGNS
Intuitive, emotional and ultra-sensitive, water signs can be as mysterious as the ocean itself.
Like water, they can be refreshing, or they can drown you in their depths. These signs often
have intense dreams and borderline-psychic intuition. Security is important to them—after
all, water needs a container, or it dries up and disappears.

MOON & RISING SIGNS
There’s more to your chart than your Sun sign—much more. At the moment you
were born, each planet was in a specific sign at a specific degree. Your moon and
rising sign are two of your chart’s key features. Along with your sun sign, these
two star players can tell a lot about your personality.

YOUR MOON SIGN

Your moon sign (where the moon was when you were born) shapes your emotions
and your soul. It colors all the subconscious stuff going on below the surface—
your deepest needs, and what helps you feel emotionally secure. Your moon sign
can also influence how strongly your sun sign is expressed. For example, if you’re
a fiery Aries with a mellow Taurus moon, your aggressive nature may be toned
down by the steady Taurus influence. Or, if you’re a watery Scorpio with a watery
Pisces moon, you could be extra emotional and intuitive, since these are the traits
of water signs. Want to find your true soulmates? Check out your moon sign and
theirs. Chances are, your moons are in compatible signs, or your sun and moon
are in similar signs.

YOUR RISING SIGN

Your rising sign, also called your ascendant, is the sign that was rising over the
eastern horizon when you were born. It can affect your appearance, your attitude,
and the way you come across to others. For example, a conservative Capricorn
with a Leo rising can appear to have some Leo-like features—s/he may have wild
hair, an outgoing personality, and a more expressive style than the average Capri-
corn. If people always peg you for a sign other than your own, don’t be surprised
to discover that it’s actually your rising sign.

How do you calculate your moon and rising signs? The moon moves into a dif-
ferent sign every 2-3 days, and the rising sign changes every two hours. You’ll
need to check moon sign and rising sign tables to determine yours. Visit our site
