　　Aquarius

　　/?ˋkw?r??s/ 水瓶座

　　【原文】Aquarians present themselves in one of two ways. One on hand, you’ll see someone who is shy, and quiet. On the other, an Aquarian can be boisterous, eccentric, and energetic. Both are deep thinkers with a love of helping others. Highly intellectual, this is a sign of fierce independence that prizes intuition tempered with logic. Both personality types have an uncanny ability to see both sides of an argument without prejudice, making them excellent problem-solvers. While very much attuned to the energies around them, Aquarians have a deep need to take time out alone and away to rejuvenate themselves. The keyword for this sign is imagination. The Aquarian can see a world of possibilities even when there appears to be none.

　　【譯文】水瓶座具有雙重性格。一方面，水瓶害羞且安靜。另一方面，水瓶活潑，怪異且充滿活力。但不管怎樣，水瓶思想深邃且樂于助人。水瓶們善于思考，高度獨立的性格使他們崇尚帶有邏輯的直覺。這種雙重性格使水瓶們能夠不帶偏見地看清事物兩面。他們的這種能力超強(qiáng)，因此能很好地解決問題。水瓶們很容易適應(yīng)身邊的能量場，所以他們需要找時間遠(yuǎn)離人群獨處以恢復(fù)活力。“想象力”是水瓶座的代名詞，他們能把身邊幾乎不可能的事情理解為充滿無限可能。
