Zodiac Sign: Aquarius

Aquarius is the sign of friendship, and odds are high that you're a hit on Facebook. Naturally popular, you manage to appeal to the masses while maintaining a distinctive originality. They broke the mold when they made you! You're the sign of the humanitarian as well as an avid animal lover. Nary a stray can pass by your home without being adopted into the fold. Working for the higher good of society is an important mission for you. There's a revolutionary living inside of every Aquarius, and you're willing to step outside the bounds of what's acceptable if it means creating a world where everyone is equal. Your offbeat ideas may set you apart from the family you were born into. Consequently, your circle of friends often serves as a surrogate family. Indeed, you may create stronger relationships with them than you ever could with your blood relatives. Ruled by Uranus, the planet of electricity, you have a knack for gadgets, technology and science. Embrace your inner geek! In relationships, you're not afraid to color outside the lines — alternative lifestyles, unconventional living arrangements, it's all fair game. You hate the idea of being put in a box … why would you want to wedge anyone else into one? Early in life, however, you may try to walk the traditional road to romance. Ultimately this winds up frustrating you. The right partner for you is a mix of conventionality and outrageous experimentalism, a fellow adventurer who cares about people and always takes you by surprise.
