What's in a name

Michael
Your name of Michael gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life. You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age. Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right. In the home you assume your responsibilities capably, having the self-confidence to form your own opinions and make your own decisions. Others can rely on you; once you have given your word you will do your utmost to fulfill a responsibility. However, there is a tendency to be a little too independent in your thinking and it is difficult for you to accept the help of others when you should. Due to your strong sense of responsibility, you could experience worry and mental turmoil through assuming more responsibility than you should. Friction could arise through others feeling that you were interfering with their rights and privileges, even though you are only trying to help.

 

Symbol: The Water-Bearer
Birthstone(s): Blue Sapphire (more about the stones)
Lucky Numbers: 11, 29, 38, 47, 56
Colors: Royal, Azure, Sky Blue
Compatible signs: 
Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius
Dates: Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 

You are the most independent sign of the zodiac, Aquarius! Ruled by original, unpredictable Uranus, you are often perceived as eccentric due to your detached, often distant nature. Aquarians usually know a variety of people, yet are essentially loners who enjoy spending free time absorbed in innovative activities. Due to your innate self-sufficiency, you usually have difficulty forming close relationships. Your friends are important to you, however, as Aquarius is a very sympathetic sign. Aquarius' penetrating mind is addicted to new ideas. Beware of adhering to information without sufficient knowledge of the facts, as your tendency to cling to exciting arguments may turn into unattractive dogmatism. Stubbornness may lead to problems with authority figures. You will be happiest when you've learned to bend a bit; flexibility will help you gain acceptance in the world. Extremely unmaterialistic, Aquarius is interested in money not for status or power but for its ability to buy time: freedom from worldly expectations. This is especially important if your job doesn't provide you with the means to express your inventive approach to life or stifles your humanitarian concerns. Despite your independent nature, you function well in a group, often assuming a leadership role to ensure the realization of an organization's goals. Although this quality is valued in a number of professions, your idealism lends itself most happily to situations where you are able to achieve social change. Also, because Uranus rules the cutting edge of technological advancement, you are well-suited for computer-related occupations. Intimacy is difficult for Aquarians. You fear don't fear closeness, but your penchant for doing things your own way is a barrier to committed partnerships. You are open and honest, though, and love to present your thoughts to others. Because your ideas are so fresh, you need a partner who not only respects your need to go off by yourself, but who is also willing to tolerate a certain amount of weirdness! Loyal friendship is far more important than romance; Aquarians almost never enter into relationships on the basis of sexual attraction alone. Tempestuous affairs are also not in keeping with your distant nature. Emotional scenes turn you off, and you will have little trouble shaking off a potential lover who seems even the slightest bit unstable. Many Aquarians never form committed partnerships simply because they seem like too much trouble. This is unfortunate, as you really stand to benefit from intimate, flexible, interesting commitments for the balance they provide to your solitary ways. Healthy, close relationships help translate eccentricity into innovation and rigidity into conviction, ensuring the successful realization of your humanitarian nature.

What's in a name

Kathy
Your name of Kathy gives you the ability to be creative along practical lines of endeavor. Your ideas can be very original and inventive. You enjoy being with people in a social environment. Your personal appearance is important to you, for you desire to make a good impression on others. Your pleasant manner attracts people to you with their problems and you are capable of offering practical advice, though you would probably not follow such advice yourself. This name causes you to be somewhat too concerned with the personalities, problems, and activities of other people. You seem positive and decisive and can be outspoken in the expression of your opinions, but you lack the self-confidence needed to follow through with your ideas and plans. Procrastination is your downfall. You frequently choose the path of least resistance to avoid your responsibilities. It is not easy for you to overcome obstacles or face issues. This name does you an injustice in that it restricts your success in business and personal pursuits through a lack of ambition. There is a weakness in the fluid functions and in the region of the head resulting in sinus problems, headaches, eye, ear, or throat conditions and related ailments. Hair loss could also be a problem.

 

Symbol: The Centaur-Archer
Birthstone(s): Amethyst, Turquoise (more about the stones)
Lucky Numbers: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54

Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Libra
Dates: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 

Fiery Sagittarius, the most optimistic sign of the zodiac, is ruled by lucky Jupiter. Direct, freedom-loving and a joy to be with, your good-humored, philosophical outlook inspires many. You love giving advice, sometimes finding that your blunt approach appears tactless and indiscreet to others. Try thinking before you speak -- if you can find the time! Sagittarians are perpetual travelers, seeking challenges that will ultimately lead them to the deeper meanings of life. Your quest for knowledge may lead to restlessness, but it will be impossible for you or anyone else to impose restrictions until you yourself can clearly see your life's path. Your extremely intelligent and independent way of thinking makes you a natural teacher and leader as well as perpetual student. Stagnation and routine kill your spirit, and should be avoided at all cost. You dislike formality and often shock people with your casual attire at important occasions. Sagittarians prefer a fun, loose lifestyle which may appear disorganized to others, but a bohemian approach to living (including lots of great food and drink) is essential to you. A boring job will not be tolerated. If forced to attend to details, you may find yourself making mistakes right and left -- not for lack of smarts, but because you just don't feel you should waste energy on the 'petty' things in life. You will therefore do well in a career that provides a great deal of space for your intelligent brain. Sagittarius is far more interested in intellectual satisfaction than in money, which will most likely be spent on study and travel rather than on a home, furniture or even clothes. Your idealistic lack of interest in the material side of life makes you well-suited for top-level careers in non-profits or social service occupations. Keep in mind, though, that you will probably need a very competent assistant who will pick the papers off your floor and maintain your voluminous calendar! You have a knack for participating in complicated relationships; the Sagittarian need for limitless freedom is legendary. You don't really want to hurt anyone, but your large appetite for love requires a variety of experience. Since you tend to live in the moment, you take your lovers seriously -- but only while you're with them! Some Sagittarians never marry, saying that they take commitment very seriously and are waiting for 'the one' -- and wind up waiting their whole lives! Other Sags practice serial matrimony; each time they make a commitment, they honestly believe that 'this time I have truly met my soul mate.' You commonly mistake sexual attraction for love, and neglect to realize that an intelligent mate who is as much a friend as a lover is more important than romance. You also need to keep in mind that a clingy, suspicious partner will imprison your boundless good nature.


 

 

When Sagittarius and Aquarius come together, the combination of Aquarian vision and Sagittarian knowledge tend to make them a highly inventive and original pair. This partnership is free from constraint, and while it can be competitive it's never dull! They can be great friends; their Signs are two apart and this tends to make them compatible and able to communicate well. Both of them are idealistic and enthusiastic about life, and together they enjoy high jinks. Together, the two can fly without fear of falling.

 

Many Sagittarius-Aquarius relationships enjoy a feeling of mutual admiration. Sagittarius admires the uniqueness, vision, and inventiveness characteristic of Aquarius. In turn, Aquarius admires the Sagittarian brilliance and initiative -- Sagittarius always have new ideas, but they don't always have the drive to carry them out the way Aquarius does. Both Signs enjoy their independence, and there aren't many conflicts because this is the perfect arrangement for both of them. At times, Sagittarius may seem too self-indulgent for Aquarius, who may in turn may in turn be too eccentric for their Sagittarian partner. As long as they are open about their positive feelings toward the relationship, they will be able to overcome the negative ones.

 

Sagittarius is ruled by the Planet Jupiter and Aquarius is ruled by the Planets Saturn and Uranus. These three Planets form a sort of cycle that is indicative of the Sagittarius-Aquarius relationship and their ability to come together to create new institutions. Uranus is the Planet of new ideas and creativity; it's from this Planet that Aquarius gets its great vision. Then Jupiter steps in with its influences toward higher learning, expansion and abundance. Finally Saturn keeps the process going to completion, following up after Uranus' inspiration has been exhausted and Jupiter's energy moves on to new things.

 

Sagittarius is a Fire Sign and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and keeps it going and in turn, Fire is sustained by the energy of Air. Sagittarius can keep up with the Water Bearer's tendency to initiate diverse experiments based on futuristic ideas. When they work together, they are an interesting inventive team! Aquarius and Sagittarius use intellect and adventure to stimulate new ideas -- they foster creativity in each other. Both Signs have wide-ranging interests, and Sagittarius' desire to physically participate gives them great aptitude for putting the plans of the idea-generating Aquarius into action.

 

Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign and Aquarius is a Fixed Sign. Sagi can easily roll with the punches and is happy to initiate or pause ongoing projects. Aquarius is slightly less yielding, but happy to sustain any project in progress as long as they are passionate about its completion. Aquarius can help stabilize and finish things rather than jumping into new projects without completing the old ones, whereas Sagittarius is happy to drift from one arena to the next as the mood takes them. They are both loyal and devoted to each other, and they can accomplish a lot together.

 

The best aspect of the Sagittarius-Aquarius relationship is their ability to achieve a great deal when they work together. Mutable Fire and Fixed Air cover all the bases: these partners can come up with an idea, plan how to implement it, get it going, and stick with it to make it succeed. This formidable combination makes theirs a relationship of motion as well as resourcefulness.
