　　Aquarius

　　/əˋkwɛrɪəs/ 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.

　　【译文】水瓶座具有双重性格。一方面，水瓶害羞且安静。另一方面，水瓶活泼，怪异且充满活力。但不管怎样，水瓶思想深邃且乐于助人。水瓶们善于思考，高度独立的性格使他们崇尚带有逻辑的直觉。这种双重性格使水瓶们能够不带偏见地看清事物两面。他们的这种能力超强，因此能很好地解决问题。水瓶们很容易适应身边的能量场，所以他们需要找时间远离人群独处以恢复活力。“想象力”是水瓶座的代名词，他们能把身边几乎不可能的事情理解为充满无限可能。
