During
what was known as the "Iron Age" period,
mankind was violent and savage and thus Zeus decided
to punish them by sending a great flood on earth
to wipe out mankind. However, he spared the lives
of Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha as they have
shown great hospitality towards Zeus in their
humble hut, not knowing that they were actually
receiving the King of Gods as their late night
visitor. Zeus saw that the couple was good hearted
and kind and thus allowed them to survive the
flood. Zeus also wanted Deucalion and his wife
to create a whole new generation of mankind which
was stronger and better. As a result, Deucalion
was known as the Water Bearer as he survived the
flood and also created a whole new generation
of mankind.
Aquarius has a freedom loving soul that craves
independence. The Water Bearer lives in his own
world with his own set of rules. He defies normal
societal standards and scoffs old-fashioned tradition.
He always aims to stand out from the crowd and
be different. This is where his abundant creativity
comes in handy.
The optimistic Aquarius is generous and friendly.
He has countless friends yet he is unable to form
many strong friendship bonds, as he remains emotionally
detached and sometimes aloof. Having a fixed air
sign makes him rather stubborn too especially
if he strongly believes in his ideals and ideas.
Although it is hard for Aquarius to change his
beliefs, he would continue to embrace new ideas
with an open mind. An intelligent and humane sign,
all Aquarius ever wants is to make the world a
better place to live in.
