| Career profile: Aquarius
For a lone wolf, the Water Bearer sure likes to have a lot of people around. Aquarians are humanitarians above all else, idealistic in their beliefs and ardent pursuers of causes to benefit the public. Non-profit organisations and trade unions are a natural venue for them -- anything that will contribute to the greater good. This unconventional rebel-with-a-cause cares so deeply about his fellow man that the quest for knowledge and answers is never-ending. The mentally-quick Water Bearer enjoys a challenge and anything with a rapid-fire pace, whether it's a team meeting or a battle of bantering wits. Aquarians are firm in their beliefs -- they've spent plenty of time thinking about them -- and are bound to get the job done. Their inquisitive nature always has them considering what's new, different and mysterious and how these things can help people in the future. Is the Water Bearer a pioneer or a renegade? Perhaps a bit of both, but there's no doubting that they see the world in their own unique way! The old 'company man' mould is given a firm boot by Aquarians. To them, that world is inconceivable, a total waste of resources. The Water Bearer wants no boundaries; to be able continually to push the envelope -- now that's living! And working, since it's part of the plan. Aquarians will spend countless hours mulling over the possibilities for a project and may even come up with some startling conclusions, but it's all in a day's work. And it's never boring! A dull day is a nightmare for the energetic Water Bearer. The Aquarius office is probably Zen-like in character, with a low working table and cushions all around for its occupant and guests to sit on (remember, everyone is an equal member of the team). That futuristic clock in the corner was probably made by the Water Bearer in their home workshop. Aquarians are well-suited to careers as inventors, politicians, writers, scientists, astronauts, artists and, you guessed it, astrologers! |
