Sun in Aries, Moon in Aquarius

The active, masculine principle is strong in your character. You need freedom, more freedom and freedom again. Your great energy goes into time with friends and like-minded people, and into science and technology. You can create only when you are completely independent. You start new things easily and see them through to the end with purpose. Other people's reactions to your actions don't interest you much. You are sociable and welcoming, with an impartial goodwill toward everyone.

You need to show your originality in every possible way. Your decisions are bold and daring, and you always make them yourself. The way you carry them out is unpredictable and original.

In your creative work you draw on your excellent ability to think in abstractions, to generalize and to reach logical conclusions.

Your enthusiasm and self-belief win you respect. You follow your own convictions and recognize no authorities: on every subject you have your own unconventional view and your own special opinion. You can be forceful, yet your altruism makes you ready to help anyone who turns to you. Your energy is aimed at the future. You long to live and create in a way that sets you apart and lets you be different. You never admit defeat, yet an unusual opinion or an unusual person always catches your interest. Your optimism is contagious. You tend to seem cool and reserved, and then a fountain of feeling bursts through.

You like your rest to be very active, with plenty of physical effort and frequent movement.

You relax by spending time with all kinds of people, of every gender, age and profession, and what matters most is that they are different in some way. Other people's experience means little to you, because your well-developed intuition helps you find your own way. In relationships you tend to keep some distance, and friendship is a real need for you, so your home is always full of friends. You keep bringing new, cutting-edge technology into your home. You prefer original, light dishes and like to experiment in the kitchen. You show your care in unexpected, unusual ways. You may feel uneasy when someone tries to draw you into a relationship that feels too close or too binding, and saying openly how much space you need can make closeness easier.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony and are directed toward the future. Practical matters may sometimes take a little extra effort.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a strong will, and he is often drawn to a partner who is sociable, friendly, a true companion and free of prejudice. In a woman's chart, it puts a strong emphasis on unconventional thinking and unpredictable behavior, and she is drawn to a man who is very independent, active and self-assured.

With the Moon in Aquarius, you need new and exciting experiences from time to time. Monotony and routine wear you down, and you will do almost anything to avoid boredom. You are always ready for change and eager to learn something unusual, new or beyond the ordinary, and when such chances come, you feel your life has real meaning.

Aquarius is unpredictable and Aries is impulsive, so this mix in your character can show up as original ideas and unusual ways of solving problems, and at times as behavior that startles the people around you.

The classic view

Intellectually you are sound and thorough; emotionally you are romantic and highly idealistic, ardent.
