Overview
Aquarius women are given special attention in astrology for their love of the common good. They tend to pay attention to social issues and are keen to update how they treat others accordingly.
And with the world becoming increasingly tolerant and progressive with other social groups, Aquarius women will certainly play an important role in making sure that everyone is treated fairly.
If there is any wrongdoing, they will always be keen to point it out, and they are not afraid to call out anyone who steps out of line. Likewise, they are also compassionate and charitable towards others around them.
Element & Modality
Aquarius is a sign that belongs to the Air element. Among the other Air signs, they are one of the most contemplative and philosophical. They think about freedom in the context of social issues and the common good.
Fittingly, their quality is Fixed, which means they are truly dedicated to the cause of the common good. Among other things, this is their primary goal in life. Naturally, their ambitions and individual aspirations firmly come second.
This propensity for looking beyond their individual needs makes them truly worthy team players. They can excel in any social context, especially in the workplace.
Constellation
The Aquarius woman’s symbol in astrology is that of the Water-bearer. The water-bearer is a nourishing presence. She provides relief and even sustenance to the downtrodden, defeated, and broken.
This charitable image certainly lends credence to the idea that Aquarius women are fundamentally selfless and dedicated to the common good. As a whole, they prioritize other people over their own needs-- sometimes to a fault.
As such, you must strive to reach the right balance between helping oneself and helping other people if you are to thrive.
Ruling Planet
The ruling planets of the Aquarius woman are Uranus and Saturn, as both of which inform Aquarius’ unique brand of freedom. On the one hand, Uranus is the planet of total freedom. It is the planet astrologers see as an explanation for why some people are freer in spirit than others.
On the other hand, Saturn is a planet of boundaries and fear. It represents the fundamental fear that we feel about confronting the outside world and the need to create barriers.
For Aquarius women, this means that freedom is relative, and that it doesn't mean you can always do what you want.
Tips
Logic isn’t everything
As a primarily empathetic sign, remember that logic is usually not the only way to think about the world. It can be difficult to not think this way, however, considering logic is supposed to be the one thing that helps solve problems.
Of course, what must be remembered here is that we are still human beings first of all, and because of this, we tend to gravitate towards having emotions. It's okay to feel hopeless and to just listen to a friend feeling that way.
You don't have to try and solve problems-- sometimes, all that matters is you listening.
Heed other people’s feelings
Fighting for social justice is always a good thing. However, it’s not enough to simply look at it from structural or theoretical perspectives, as both offer little in terms of human emotion. Furthermore, it doesn't help to fight for social justice when you're looking at it from a selfish angle.
As such, you should always try to pay attention to other people around you. Remember that the ends never justify the means in the pursuit of true justice, and likewise, you should never disregard the emotions of others.
Listen to them when they complain and help them when they ask for it.
Keep an open mind
No matter how well-crafted a plan is, the fact of the matter is that most plans don't survive the first sign of trouble. Furthermore, life always has a way of surprising even those who think of everything beforehand.
As such, you should plan for any eventuality as you please, but do keep an open mind regardless. When there's a dissenting opinion, do not disregard it. Listen to its merits and evaluate them, then act based on what you find efficient.
Remember that there's always more than one way to solve specific problems, so as much as possible, keep your mind open.
Don’t always pursue perfection
Usually, perfection is the best thing one can ever pursue, but there is a reason why people typically discourage such notions. This is because we are fundamentally flawed human beings, and while it is within your instinct to always pursue what is perfect, it may be wise to deviate from it.
Instead of pursuing the most perfect outcome, pursue instead what is the best for any situation. It doesn't necessarily have to be the greatest, but the fact is that situations in life can always change.
And you owe it to yourself to think of more than one possible option.
Mingle with other people
Aquarius women can be a bit detached when it comes to social situations because of their emphasis on logic. This doesn't take away from their emotional sensitivity, but it can take away from your ability to interact with others.
Remember that the pursuit of social justice isn't one-sided nor a solitary affair. The fact is that you will need friends and extra hands to make sure that society becomes more livable and free for everyone else.
Work on your social connections, then pursue what is the best outcome for everyone based on these connections, as this will brighten your future.
Healing
Amber
Amber is a crystal that is used to suck away negative energy and facilitate the removal of stress throughout the body. This in turn translates to you being able to think in a more logical way.
As such, you should really use this crystal when you are feeling the need to give yourself some space in a hectic situation. By using this crystal, you can think faster and more sharply at moments when you feel like you have no control over yourself.
With this crystal in tow, you will surely be able to fulfill your potential as an Aquarius woman.
Larimar
Larimar is a crystal that shortens the Aquarius woman’s path to self-mastery. Among other things, it helps Aquarius women sort out their inner doubts by purifying their way of thinking. The end result is that you end up thinking more clearly about issues.
This is especially great for Aquarius women since they also have their own doubts, particularly when it comes to social contexts. This forces them to only apply logic, even when logic itself is not an infallible machine for dealing with problems.
Therefore, you should use this when your thoughts are clouded and you personally require great clarity.
Hematite
Hematite is a crystal that helps people deal with their personal selfishness. As a rule, it does this by giving your assurances that the people around you aren't out to get you or exceed you, but instead help you in your quest for justice.
In other words, this is a crystal that helps you clear your head in social contexts to make you more understanding and appreciative of other people. This appreciation means that you won't be selfish anymore, if at all, and you will therefore have a better social life.
Use this crystal before meetings or gatherings for maximum effect.
Final Word
Aquarius women are great at working and prioritizing the common good. Their high-minded work ethic allows them to exceed their limits and be of greater use to others around them.
However, they also have certain traits that pave the way for friction such as their insistence on logic alone and their detachment from social matters.
Making sure that they are approachable and open at all times should be their highest goal.
