Tales of the Zodiac #4: The Age of Aquarius

I will never make the mistake of dating another Aquarius. Mostly because I plan to be in this relationship for life. But if by some weird chance that changes, never again.

I would like to go on record and say that Aquarians are one of the most frustrating signs you will ever meet (notice I didn't call them assholes, just frustrating, BIG difference). For example, they are the sign of the water barer but their element is air. Confused? You should be. Much like their air brethren (Gemini and Libra), people born under the sign of Aquarius tend to be a dichotomy of sorts, leaving behind a sense of bewilderment in their wake. If you are fortunate enough to know any of these individuals, you may have noticed some of the following attributes of an Aquarius.

1.) An Aquarius usually suffers from correcttes, a disorder much like tourettes but with the inability to not correct people. It could be anywhere from a simple mathematical error, faulty grammar, a recollection of events, or a misquote. An Aquarius will always be the first person to correct you, without any restraint on their behalf. You could be a professor in the middle of a lecture and your Aquarius student would interrupt you to point out your mistake. Are they wrong? Most of the time they are right. Is this behavior found frustrating? Absolutely. So why do they do it? My opinion is that it comes from the Aquarians golden rule: I am always right. Being right is almost as important as breathing air to an Aquarius. They can also walk on water if they try really really hard. This usually happens in the bathtub.

2.) An Aquarius wants their options. You cannot tell an Aquarius what they are going to do. They interpret that as an act of trying to control them. If you want to go out to dinner with an Aquarius, present them options to choose from. Nine times out of ten, they won't make up their mind and will go along with what you want to do. But if you don't give them a chance to have an opinion, they will immediately be upset by the fact they always end up doing everything that you want to do.

3.) Aquarians have out-of-body experiences on a daily basis. If you are talking to an Aquarian and he or she zones out, consider the conversation hopeless. Think narcolepsy, but still awake. Its like someone pulled them out of the Matrix or disconnected them from their Avatar. The lights are on, but no one is home. Example:

Me: How was your day?

Jason: Not too bad.

Me: Well that's good.

Jason: So check this out.

Me: (Waiting to hear what he has to say)

Jason: (Glazed over look)

Me: (Tilting my head because I am confused why he stopped talking)

Jason: (Staring off into space)

Me: (Wondering if he had a stroke)

Jason: (Picking at the lint on his shirt)

Me: (Finally tired of the silence) Yes?

Jason: What?

Me: You were saying?

Jason: Oh, so check this out (and continues on like nothing happened)

Me: (Wondering if he was aware of his mental lapse.)

I did leave out the part about them being loyal, trust worthy, honest, intellectual, and friendly. Those are the qualities that I love about my Aquarius and that keep me from kicking his scrawny ass to the curb.

I quote Jason: "I never said my relationship was perfect, its just better then yours."

Thank you, Jason, for the best 8 years of my life.
