The 10 Best Things About Being an Aquarius, by Aqua the Pelican
We asked Aqua the Pelican, the Aquarius Astrominal, to write a list of the ten best things about being an Aquarius (20 January – 18 February).
She asked if it had to be a list. Could it be a diagram? A song? A small robot that reads it aloud? We said a list. She said lists were “very last century”, then wrote a brilliant one anyway.
1. We think differently
Everyone else sees a cardboard box. An Aquarius sees a spaceship, a castle and a filing system for snails. Sometimes all at once.
2. We’re inventors
If something doesn’t exist yet, an Aquarius will build it. If it already exists, an Aquarius will build a better one. With extra buttons.
3. We’re ruled by Uranus
Uranus is the planet that spins on its side. Every other planet goes one way. Uranus goes its own way. We approve.
4. We care about the whole world
Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac. Saving the oceans, planting trees, making sure everyone gets a turn. Big hearts. Big beaks.
5. We’re friendly to everyone
The new kid. The odd kid. The kid who knows every fact about trains. Aquarians love anyone who’s a bit different. Different is our favourite.
6. We’re independent
An Aquarius doesn’t need to follow the crowd. Sometimes the crowd ends up following us. We didn’t plan that. It just happens.
7. We’re ahead of our time
What an Aquarius is into today, everyone else will be into in five years. You heard it here first.
8. We carry the water
Aquarius is the Water Carrier. I carry mine in my beak. A bucket would have been far too obvious.
9. We ask brilliant questions
Why? Why not? What if? What if it was purple? Most great discoveries start with an Aquarius asking a question nobody else thought of.
10. We make the future more fun
A world with Aquarians in it is a world with more ideas, more inventions and more odd socks. You’re welcome.
Aqua says: “That’s ten. Next time, can I do it as an interpretive dance?”
