The 5 Pros And Cons Of Being An Aquarius

We are now in full blown Aquarius season. All of your Aquarius friends are out celebrating their birthdays and making the best out of their time to shine. Being an Aquarius isn’t easy, but it can definitely be worth it. Something about being truthful and imaginative just makes life worth living. You know that being an Aquarius is much different than being any other sign. If you don’t know what makes you different, here are some pro’s and con’s that you should be aware of:

Pros

1. You remain truthful

You know the truth will set you free. Being truthful is your main priority regardless of other people’s feelings. Your truthfulness makes it easier for people to talk to you in confidence, though. Everyone knows if they go to you for a problem, you will give them your full opinion, whether they want to hear it or not.

2. You have a great imagination

Your imagination is so strong you could be an author of a best-selling novel. As a kid, your imagination and creativity led you to be fantastic at art, music, and creative writing. As an adult, you still have a strong sense of imagination, even if it is just imagining what your future will hold.

3. You know what is just

You have a moral compass like no other. You act based on this moral compass. You know what is right and fair morally and aren’t afraid to act on it. You are fair, which makes you a great mediator. You keep an open mind with everyone, but only act on what you believe is right and fair. You are the first person to stand up against corrupt acts, which is great because not everyone has the voice to do this.

4. You are extremely curious

Curiosity killed the cat to most people, but not in your eyes. Curiosity lead to great discoveries and inventions that would have never come around if it wasn’t for someone asking the question “why?”. Your curiosity is great for answering the questions most people want to know, but will never ask.

5. You are very affectionate

You are an extremely loving person. Showing love to others is one of your favorite things to do when interacting with people. You believe everyone deserves a chance and you should show love to everyone. People love to hang around you because you tend to be the “mom” of the group, making sure everyone is okay and happy. You create a warm feeling in everyone around you with your loving and friendly personality.

Cons

1. You tend to be unpredictable

When your curiosity gets the best of you and your view of what’s right or wrong can get blurred. You make irrational decisions on short notice, which makes you seem unpredictable.  

2. You are never 100% committed

You’ve probably been told you have commitment issues. You keep a sense of detachment from everyone in your life. This sense of detachment stems from your inability to trust others. No matter how affectionate you may be to a person, your relationships will always lack a full sense of trust. You can never get to a deep, emotional level in relationships because you would prefer to not take the chance of getting hurt.

3. You can never stay on track

You lack the ability to focus. You are probably the person who makes a plan they cannot stick too. Your friends know that if you make a goal one day, it will change by the next day. You take the side roads instead of sticking to the main path. It takes you much longer to complete any project than most people because of your inability to focus on it.

4. You are not efficient

Efficiency is definitely not your strong suit. Since you never stick to a plan, it takes you much longer to complete projects. Instead of completing things quickly and efficiently, you would rather find out as much as you can on everything. Taking the side roads may be more interesting, but it is definitely not an efficient way to complete a task.

5. You tend to get addicted easily

Addiction is something you must look out for. Addiction runs deep in your personality, whether you are addicted to games, food, drugs, or even fitness. Just remember that too much of anything can be harmful to your physical and mental health. Once you can identify when you become addicted to something, it will be easier for you to handle.

Being an Aquarius definitely isn’t easy, but there are some great traits to your personality. If you can do your best to stay focused, you could pretty much rule the world. I mean, who wouldn’t love a truthful, affectionate and imaginative leader? Some celebrities who are Aquarius include: Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Franklin Roosevelt, Michael Jordan, and Paris Hilton. All of these celebrities are extremely influential and positive people in today’s society. So if you are an Aquarius, don’t forget that one day you are very likely to make an impression on society for the better.
