FIXED AIR SIGN
RULING PLANET: URANUS
COLOR: SKY BLUE
KEYWORDS: Original, Independent, Progressive
The zodiac’s trend-setters, Aquarians are unique and are ones to watch. Their intellectual mentality coupled with their independent spirit is the cause. They are often studiers of human nature, with a weak spot for humanitarian activities. While sometimes seeming detached, this is so Aquarians don’t get too caught up in the nitty gritty and can rise above emotional ties, leaving them free to think and tap into a keen intuition. They are friendly, helpful, and are able to adapt to a group fairly quickly.
Aquarians need to be free, even rebellious at times. They are always one step ahead and usually will not like to take direction from others unless its from someone who they respect. Even then, it should be more of a democracy than a dictatorship, they are always happy to listen and collaborate. With Uranus as their ruling planet, Aquarians are described as having an electric ora, they can be very inventive and intelligent.
Shopping for Aquarius? Consider a spa pedicure with all the trimmings, since their body part happens to be ankles and calves. Donating to their favorite charity would also appeal to their humanitarian side and would be a lovely token of your respect for that. Or since they are likely a trend-setter, give them a gift card to their favorite store, and they’ll take it from there!
Happy Birthday, Aquarius! Surrounded by blue hues, serene soft music, and plenty of intelligent chatter, Aquarius should be in the center of it all for their birthday season. Sweets should be special, not your average birthday cake if you want to impress.
Dress the Aquarius table with a gorgeous bouquet, filled with uniquely shaped flowers such as lilies or their signature flower, orchids. The bouquet featured here is from The Bouqs. They have breath-taking arrangements available to order online, the flowers are fresh and grown on sustainable and eco-friendly farms; some in volcanic soil which gives them such a bold color. Check out this bouquet here, called: An Elegant Twist.
Well, we are officially in the age of Aquarius! (I had to.)… And so, I was inspired to create a unique cake, a crepe cake to be exact. I didn’t stop there though, I knew the flavor combinations had to stand out. I channeled my inner Aquarius (for reals, my moon happens to be in Aquarius! Hayyy!) and got inventive… Chocolate Buckwheat crepes layered with dairy-free peanut butter creme, sprinkled with sweet/tart pomegranates. It’s even better than I hoped.
How will you be inspired by Aquarius this season? Embrace your uniqueness, do something nice for a stranger, and be more independent! And obviously, MAKE THIS CAKE! (And if it’s done right, you can probably check off all three of those things off with the cake! hehe)

I would have loved this for my birthday, Alison 🙂 What a fun post, indeed!!!
Though I would not admit one way or another that I am ‘rebellious,’ I am willing to admit that the description for Aquarius is quite on the spot 🙂
Happy to have found your blog 🙂

This is beautiful, Alison! The buckwheat, chocolate, and peanut butter combination sounds divine.
