Aquapia

**SIGN OF THE ESSENTRIC**

AQU (A/I)\* [VIOLET CASTE] // \*PIA [DERSE + LIGHT]

The alternative sway of Aquapia is Aquapio, and the opposite sign is Leittanius.

The official website defines Aquapia in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Violet Signs are the universe's eccentrics. Forget marching to their own drummer-Violets built their own drum, and it's probably weird. A good deal of this is natural, but they also have a distinct bent toward contrariness. They are the sorts to give the popular thing a pass. Personable and outlandish, they are ready to make friends with anyone, although if they aren't careful their 'game for anything' attitude can come across as clingy or desperate. When their feelings are reciprocated, however, they are very loyal friends. Politics and humanitarian causes are often very important to Violet Signs, and they will turn their considerable inventive energy into a sort of noblesse oblige, happy to offer their nontraditional approaches to help others. At their very best Violet Signs are artistic and inspired, but they tread the fine line between genius and maniac. Too often their more esoteric interests can come across as perverse or untoward, and they can have a hard time holding their tempers, especially if they feel that they are being belittled or ignored. Intelligence is enormously attractive to Violet Signs, and often an intellectual connection is necessary for them to be attracted to a prospective partner.

Derse Dreamers have personalities marked by a distinct and restless skepticism. Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction. Rebellion is in their blood, manifesting whether they are fighting back against a fascist dictatorship, or the most recent trend in casual footwear. Derse Dreamers are cerebral and self-aware; they have a far better grasp on the landscape of their own minds than on the world around them, which they can find alienating and confusing. But as so much of their identity is built on control, they will do their utmost to hide any insecurities, often with false humility or self-deprecating humor. They may be inflexible and pessimistic, but they are also great problem solvers, facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds. They see one true path among an infinite snarl of wrong ones. They tend to be introverted, but if you win their trust Derse Dreamers are extremely powerful allies. However, they find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length. Letting go and living in the moment is hard for a Derse Dreamer; they constantly look toward the future and analyze the past.

Those bound to the aspect of Light are the universe's knowledge-seekers. They are, above all, driven to learn and understand. They are great alchemists, able to take multiple sources of information and synthesize them into something useful. They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake. They are the ultimate students, and although that might conjure up the image of people sitting around peacefully waiting for knowledge to be brought to them, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds. At their best, the Light-bound are resourceful and driven. At their worst they can be fussy, pedantic, and insensitive.

Aquarius (from the Greek Υδροχόος) is the eleventh (11th) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Aquarius "The Water-Bearer", and people born within the months of January 20th to February 18th are known to be an Aquarius. The zodiac Aquarius is one (1) of six (6) positive signs, one (1) of four (4) fixed signs, and one (1) of three (3) air signs alongside Gemini and Libra. The sign ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, the detriment is Sun, the exhaltation is thought nowadays to be Pluto, and the fall is Neptune.

The six (6) positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) are known as the signs with a Positive Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the active, Yang, expressive, or "masculine" signs. The positive signs also include the fire and air triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Fixed signs are known for their resistance to change, great willpower, and inflexibility. The Fixed signs are Leo (fire), Scorpio (water), Aquarius (air), and Taurus (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Air which has been known to house the traits of Great Communicators, Social, Conceptual. According to Hippocrates, the Air element correlates to the Sanguine personality type. Sanguine people are described to be Stable Extroverts, which means that they tend to be outgoing, talkative, lively, and carefree.

Aquarius people are quiet people who prefer to stay to themselves, despite craving the attention of everyone else around them. They are creative and intelligent and they strive to be the most liked person at any point in time, no matter where they are or who they're with. Aquarius can get bored quite easily and thus needs constant mental stimulation, which usually comes in the form of social drama and puzzles. One of Aquarius' downfalls is that they tend to take criticism very personally and views it as an attack on who they are, or takes it to believe that they're not liked or unwanted, despite this never being true. The Aquarius wants to be free and hates to be constrained, constantly having to try new things or else they'll get bored or depressed again. They also have a habit of burying their feelings or hiding who they really are at first, but once they become more comfortable around people, their true self begins to shine through.

Two of the best signs for the Aquarius are the like-minded Libra and Gemini, being air signs as well means that they understand what life is like and they just get the Aquarius on a personal level that other signs might not have. Similarly, Leo, Aries, and Sagittarius offer a stable and loving relationship for the Aquarius and they can create something of a very dynamic and powerful duo. The down-to-earth and sensitive signs, like Taurus and Scorpio, may pose something of a threat to the Aquarius as their personalities clash, but if they can find some kind of middle ground and agree, they could become an unstoppable duo.
