Your SmartScope for September 2010:
This month you're going to have to someone's knight in shining armor.
Do you already know who it is you're going to save? There's someone
who know who is in dire need of a really good friend right now. It
won't be easy; there will be others who won't understand. They'll want
to tease you and stand in your way. They'll try to discourage you.
But in the end, you'll gain a loyal and wonderful friend, whose company
you enjoy and who you can trust and who makes you laugh. Other people
will respect you for having such a strong sense of character and a
good, unbiased heart. The journey will be a little rough, but it's
worth the risk. I promise. |
About You, Aquarius:
The Myth: Usually, Aquarius is said to represent Ganymede, a Trojan prince and the most handsome man on earth. Zeus - the king of all the Greek gods - became enamored with Ganymede's beauty, so he disguised himself as an eagle and kidnapped Ganymede and brought him to Mt. Olympus where all the gods lived. There, Ganymede served as the cup bearer to all the gods.
Cool Fact: According to astrology, we are now living in the Age of Aquarius. An astrological age is about 2,500 years long!
As an Aquarius, you might be... opinionated, friendly, free-spirited and inventive
Careers an Aquarian might like: Astronomer, musician, computer technician, engineer, photographer, actor, scientist

Famous Female Aquarius:
Jamaica Kincaid (born May 25, 1949) is an American writer, although she was born in Antigua. When she was a teen, she got a job in the United States as an au pair (nanny). Instead of sending the money home to her parents, whose morals she disagreed with, she worked odd jobs to stay in New York City, all the while writing notes for stories. One day, a good friend got ahold of some her notes and published them! To be an author, she changed her name to Jamaica Kincaid, which allowed her a break from the past and let her feel comfortable referencing that past for her work. She has published several works of fiction and even some nonfiction. We love Jamaica Kincaid because she is a strong woman who was not afraid to stand up for what she knew was right, even if it meant taking an uncertain path and going against her family. She used writing as a therapeutic way to deal with a dissatisfying and difficult past. Because she made the hard decision to follow her dreams with all her heart, she is now very happy with her life. She teaches in beautiful Vermont, where she now has a loving and supportive family with her husband and two children.
