The Unique Synthesis of the
Western Aquarius and the Chinese Rat
signs.

Aquarius Fixed, Air, Saturn & Uranus |
Rat is Yin |

"Onward
and upward" should be the motto of this completely idealistic and experimental
character. Aquarius the individualist married to the aggressive and charming
Rat character affords us a being of immense personal magnetism and derring-do.
�On the ONE hand, the Aquarian born Rat seeks to accumulate material possessions.
�On the OTHER hand, this person cares less about tangibles than I do about
Eskimo fertility rites. �She's a bohemian with a bourgeois streak. �A hippie
sophisticate. �She wants to be free and unencumbered. �But she cannot stand
to be alone. �She wants to ride a black stallion on the beach in the wind,
but she's not mad about horses. �A contradictory nature full of excellent
intentions causes the Aquarius/Rat to somersault through life, always talking,
rarely listening. Aquarians
want to be different. �They have vision and are tolerant. �Rats have lots
of personal appeal and long to wield power. �Of course, in this duo, the
Rat is neutralized by the altruistic Aquarian, who tells her to get her
mitts off the power switch until such time as man will love man and no
wars will be fought. The effect is startling. �Real force emanates from
within this person. Watch her try to take over the reins in a given situation.
�She can strike a deal, even a slightly shady deal. �Then, suddenly out
of nowhere, she may back down. �Under the influence of Aquarius, the Rat's
cupidity deflates. �Good-bye, trickery. �Hello, freedom and love. As
the Aquarius/Rat thinks she wants to see around corners toward a better
world, she will frequently become involved in spiritual searches for truth
and equilibrium. The Aquarian is first a thinker. �The Rat, too, is cerebral.
Both signs are a bit neurotic. �So, rather than looking for stability
on traveled paths, they become easily attracted by the cosmic, the extrasensory
and supernatural methods of mind control. �Aquarius/Rats are forever taking
courses in ESP, est, Hatha, Mudra and Zen. �They want to depart from the
humdrum bourgeois living inside them. �They long to find peace through
spiritual enlightenment. No
matter the degree of clear thinking attained by this character, she is
nonetheless always a Rat. �Rats must cleave to the middle-class life.
�Rats are acquisitive and driven by a thirst for power. �Aquarius may
force the Rat to a clear mountain stream but she cannot make her drink.
�This essential disagreement causes further loss of security for our native.
�She makes rash moves and grows moody and distant. �Emotions are not her
favorite province, so how can she say she's sorry? �How can she adapt
to the workaday world with its stringent and inhuman demands? Why is life
so stultifyingly boring? Well,
as this offbeat subject will be the first to tell you, "The answer is
blowing in the wind." �Trouble is, people never live up to the Aquarius/Rat's
high standards. �She is often disappointed by the failure of group efforts
and hurt by the selfishness of intimates. �Yet she watches even herself
fall short of the mark. �Then she is really desolate and confused. �Where
did she go wrong? Although
"application of derriere to seat of chair" is one of my stock bits of
advice, I dare advance it here more particularly. Aquarius/Rats must learn
to slow down, to feel their way instead of trying to "think" their way,
to sit still long enough for the lead to set between those ears. �They
mustn't dabble in mind-altering substances or freaky movements unless
there is a concrete and earthbound reason to do so. �Sailing off into
space without a seatbelt is a very dangerous business. � Love � As the Aquarius/Rat mixes fancy with charisma and neurosis with nervousness, you can imagine the troubled waters of emotion at work here. �This person will be both attractive and vulnerable. �The attractiveness shows. The vulnerability hides. �Her emotional needs will be best met by coupling with solid citizen types who are willing to tether their Aquarius/Rat firmly to earth. �Of course, square drudges hardly excite this rabid metaphysicist. �It's a dilemma. If
you love an Aquarius/Rat, don't fence her in. �But do tie your loved one
down. �I know this sounds contradictory, but think of Aquarius/Rats as
morning glories. �For morning glories to thrive, their feet must be firmly
planted in the shade and their heads constantly exposed to the brightest
sunlight. �That's how you have to treat your Aquarius/Rat. �Let her feel
as free as a Montgolfiere, but keep the lines drawn taut and don't take
any nonsense. �Your Aquarius/Rat will love you all the more for caring. � Compatibilities � Oxen like to be with you. �They are inspired by your rapacity and swift dispatch. �Choose an Ox from Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarius if you want to be sure of compatibil-ity. �The same western astrological signs lend you their Dragons on a silver platter. �This time it's you doing the admiring. �Aries, Libra and Sagittarius bestow Monkeys on your lifestyle. �They too bring you joy and good advice. �Don't be led down the aisle by Taurus/, Leo/ or Scorpio/Horses, and get out of the way of Leo/Cats and Scorpio/Roosters. � Home And Family � Although erratic when flying loose in the world, the Aquarius/Rat somehow does not display this eccentricity at home. Here, in the privacy of her abode, the Aquarius/Rat decorates tastefully, simply and with a spareness that hints at her penchant for Oriental thought. �Too much material wealth makes the Aquarius/Rat nervous. �If she is flashy or showy, it will be in her dress. At home, things will be kept simple and elegant. This
person is a remarkably good parent. �You see, kids have a tethering influence
on Aquarius/Rats. �For that security the Aquarius/Rat parent is grateful,
and in her turn stretches the parental role as far as it will go. �She
gets very involved with kids' activities and feelings. �The Aquarius/Rat
discusses everything in greatest detail with her children, and imparts
a world view of broad scope to her kids long before they are old enough
to leave the nest. The
Aquarius/Rat child is, most of all, interesting. �She may be slightly
daredevil and will surely be drawn to the unusual. Again, the role of
intimates (in this case parents) is to focus the terrestrial aspects of
this subject. �Never allow her attraction to the other-worldly to overcome
the attachment felt for family. �The talented and intelligent Aquarius/Rat
child must be hitched to a solid post but never hobbled. � Profession � Of course, as for all Aquarians who struggle with the emotional side of life, work is health. �If this sometimes cranky and irrepressible Rat subject is able to fix her attention on one professional passion, authentically ingenious projects can be realized. �The Rat/Aquarian has such a unique perception and is so close to madness and extraterrestrial thought at all times that if these qualities are applied to earthly pursuits, the result is unbeatable. �But watch that freaky side. �This person can go bonkers in a wink if allowed too much leeway. The
Aquarius/Rat is more of a creative than a bossy type. She will be glad
to try to run an office or shop. �But the result will never be spectacular
-- competent, but not fabulous. �The same goes for employment. �This person's
strength is in her individuality and personal approach to problems of
at least cinemascopic proportion. �Punching time clocks just won't do. Some
possible professions for the Aquarius/Rat are: politician, artist (all
sorts), journalist, genius, designer. Famous
Aquarian Rats: �Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jules Verne, Adlai Stevenson,
Alan Alda, John Belushi and Jean- |
