The AQUARIUS Child

The dream-child moving through a land
Of wonders wild and new,
In friendly chat with bird or beast-
And half believe it true.

According to Mother Goose, a child dressed in blue embodies snips and snails and puppy-dog tails. Yet, if that child enters the world in February, discard those old notions. This infant is molded from the raw material of Uranus, destined to make you chase after them as they venture into the unexplored territories of tomorrow.

They are a bundle of sensitivity, stubbornness, independence, and boundless creativity. Even with a cautious Taurus ascendant, their thoughts move at the speed of Uranian lightning. Their minds vibrate with high-frequency beams, and as they grow, you may find yourself sending out an S.O.S. to keep up with them.

Parents of an Aquarian child often find themselves pondering whether to send them to a remote farm, where they won't startle the neighbors, or to let the world know casually that their offspring might win a Pulitzer someday. It's a dilemma. Oh yes, it is. The Pulitzer is within reach, but I would advise observing them on the farm for a few summers. Watch. Wait. They might invent a revolutionary plow or simply consume the entire pantry. It all depends. There are no set rules when it comes to Aquarians.

I once knew a mother in New York who affectionately called her Uranian son "the Bronx Wonder" without further explanation. Her relatives and neighbors were just as perplexed as she was. Nobody could tell if the nickname referred to his possession of three heads or his destined spot in the Hall of Fame. As fate would have it, he turned out to be a skilled basketball player, and most people assumed that was the reason behind the moniker. But they jumped to conclusions too quickly. The story is far from over. Currently, he dabbles in composing musical scores that may grace Broadway or find their place in the wastebasket. He also takes on small roles in detective films and eagerly auditions for TV commercials seeking extraterrestrial types to approach flying saucers in automobile advertisements. Additionally, he's tinkering with an undisclosed invention in his bedroom, sandwiched between watching the Mets play and devouring pickle sandwiches. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any hints about the invention since he guards its secret closely. He possesses a peculiar fascination with clocks and watches, so it may have something to do with a time machine (a common Aquarian obsession). Only time will reveal its nature. There's no need to rush. Many Aquarians don't unleash their electric sparks of genius upon the world until they reach the tender age of fifty. The wait can be nerve-wracking, to say the least. Of course, there are Aquarian child prodigies, but let's focus on your average Aquarian youngster (if such a thing exists).

They may end up working for the FBI or a private detective agency (as they possess a fondness for solving mysteries) and become an ordinary, sensible, conservative citizen (though I wouldn't hold my breath, it's a possibility). For now, let's concentrate on their formative years. That way, you'll have a fighting chance to guide this Uranus rocket in some semblance of a direction.

Until maturity tempers their Uranian influences and society shapes them with conventional norms, Aquarian children can exhibit strong negativity. Their immediate response to a command or even a pleasant suggestion is often a resounding "no." However, if given time to contemplate and ponder, you'll be surprised at how many times they arrive at sensible conclusions�answers they discovered on their own, deemed correct and acceptable.

On the surface, these boys and girls can appear calm and docile, but the northern wind can suddenly turn them upside down (or is it topsy turvy? With Aquarians, anything is possible). They are unpredictable in their behavior, yet lovable and often amusing. The February child can be a whirlwind to contend with. I use that analogy because Aquarians and Uranus rule over air travel, planes, and figures like Charles Lindbergh. Curiously enough, many of these children possess an irrational fear of planes, elevators, and even electricity (also under Uranus's domain). Guiding and channeling them can be a challenge. They have no idea where they are going, but they hold definite opinions on how to get there.

Raising and educating these "wonders" is a significant responsibility. Their minds blend fixed practicality with uncanny perception and sharp, probing logic. The mixture can be uncomfortably embarrassing when your Aquarian child asks your best friend why she got a facelift (which she did) or interrogates your Uncle Elmer about his past tax evasion in front of an Internal Revenue agent (which he also did).

Aquarians are eager to assist their friends. Buy your Aquarian boy a brand new pair of boots, and he will wear them out on the first day, all for the sake of creating a smooth surface for the neighborhood kids to sled on.

Expect your February child to harbor dreams and hold onto them tightly until new dreams take their place. A girl might imagine herself as a prima ballerina, dedicating herself purely to her art, surpassing even Pavlova, or she may thirst to become the first female president or aspire to follow in the footsteps of Madame Curie. As for the boys, they might envision themselves as oceanographers, ichthyologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, exterminators, or tree surgeons. Mundane career choices like nurses, secretaries, clerks, salespeople, teachers, bankers, and brokers are too ordinary for the average Aquarian child's fantasies. Eventually, they may settle for one of these occupations, but the original dream will remain tucked under their left ear, never forgotten. It's uncanny, but Aquarians can sometimes make things happen simply by concentrating on them and patiently waiting.

You'll never know what to expect from day to day. This child may refuse to stay indoors when it rains and venture out with your best sterling silver tablespoon, using it to dig a trench to prevent the hill behind the house from eroding.

Do you remember the old verse from your childhood that goes, "The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see. The other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain was all that he could see"? Well, your Aquarian child will have better luck. They will find something there�perhaps a pot of gold or a new species of woodpecker. None of their explorations will ever lead to a dead end or a total loss.

I skipped over the infant stage because Aquarians are never infants. They are born middle-aged. However, many of them do experience the toddler stage, and during this precarious period, you might want to consider getting a seeing-eye dog. Keep the dog until your little Uranian reaches the age of ten. Otherwise, they may have trouble navigating the block without incident. Lost in their own private clouds, they will march down the street in a haze, only to collide with a telephone pole or a mailbox. Aquarian absent-mindedness often results in twisted ankles, broken bones, and frustrated teachers. You may find yourself torn between pride when the school reports that your child is a budding genius and shame when you receive a note stating, "Oliver simply refuses to pay attention in class. He spends the entire day gazing out of the window, toying with his two-way wristwatch" or "Gertrude lacks concentration. Instead of studying, she sits there, flexing her arches in those ballet slippers." A lecture to Oliver and Gertrude will be met with bored impatience. What's all the fuss about? Oliver was attempting to calculate the effect of the summer solstice on Greenwich Mean Time, and Gertrude was pondering the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. To their minds, it's perfectly logical. Admittedly, they are on the right track. However, this may not be the century to prove it.

Teachers often complain that Aquarian children refuse to explain, step by step, how they arrived at their remarkable solutions to complex math problems before the teacher has finished writing them on the blackboard. There's a logical reason for this. Their Uranian intuition propels their minds through those steps so rapidly that they simply cannot remember. Most Aquarian children were behind the door when memory was handed out. Forgetting their own address is commonplace, and forgetting their last name is uncomfortably possible. Forgetting what time they need to come home? That's par for the course. Your brilliant (and most likely, they are) Uranian youngster must learn that their aspirations should encompass more than being a human computer. They need to understand the importance of organizing their thoughts logically. Otherwise, a potential genius, philosopher, engineer, scientist, doctor, lawyer, gardener, or cab driver (if you're lucky) can become an eccentric adult, pulled in multiple directions, endlessly circling in interesting but unprofitable patterns.

Encourage them to engage in physical activities; otherwise, they may succumb to harmful inertia and daydream away the hours. It often takes an emergency to prompt Aquarian children into physical action, though they may possess a great fondness for sports. Mentally, they are speed demons, but their bodies may be a bit slower, particularly within the confines of home. They may possess an affinity for birds, trees, nature, and the seashore. They will always prefer their own independent discoveries over organized activities. You'll need to watch out for their tendency to say "I can't" as a means to rationalize avoiding responsibility. Aquarian children may choose the path of least resistance if given the chance. Teach them that they are only fooling themselves. Allow them to make their own decisions, but encourage them to act upon those decisions.

Unexpressed tension can deeply unsettle them. Aquarian children possess an uncanny ability to perceive the depths of others' souls and hear thoughts that haven't been audibly spoken, which can disturb them and leave lasting feelings of unhappiness. Encourage tranquility, harmony, concentration, and memory if you wish to prevent an eccentric, nervous, absent-minded bachelor or spinster with unfulfilled dreams from emerging in thirty years or so.

Be mindful of what you say and how you say it to Aquarian youngsters. Suggestions planted in these fertile Uranian minds during childhood can take root firmly, shaping fixed opinions in adulthood. Undue emphasis on cleanliness, repeated warnings such as "Don't drink from my glass; it's dirty," can cause Aquarian children to develop exaggerated fears and result in them carrying their own goblet in their pocket when visiting others. As accident-prone as they are, you can imagine what might happen if they unexpectedly sit down with that goblet still there. And they do everything suddenly.

Aquarian boys and girls have a multitude of friends. They make at least ten new friends each day, ranging from the street cleaner to the truant officer to the ex-parachutist who owns the candy store. They might even bring a friend named Rockefeller home for lunch someday, but don't let it faze you. They aren't raising a social snob; they won't distinguish between Rockefeller and the dog catcher. They're all just "pals."

Romantic entanglements may not trouble your Aquarian child during adolescence. In fact, they may need reminders about the distinction between genders. Few of these children are infatuated with boys or girls; they're simply infatuated with being a little peculiar, especially when they start sporting eccentric clothes and parting their hair in unusual ways. This is when their hidden love for poetry might emerge, and it should be nurtured. Your little Uranian child carries frogs in their pockets and stars in their eyes, but they are truly special. They are humanitarians, and their rare, unprejudiced wisdom leads us into the Aquarian age. Aquarian boys and girls have been chosen by destiny to fulfill the promise of tomorrow, frogs, stars, and pickle sandwiches included. Just give them the nickname of the "Twentieth Century Wonder" and let the neighbors wonder why.
