Of course, I'm late again, but with all the fallout from the big games, isn't this a nice change of pace?
Aquarius (astrology): "the 11th sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the water-bearer. According to astrologers, people born between January 20 and February 18 are born under the sun sign of Aquarius. Aquarius, an air sign, is said to be ruled by the planet Uranus.
Astrologers consider Aquarians to be brilliant, visionary, curious, open-minded, original, independent, and eccentric. Though emotionally detached, they also tend to be friendly and social. According to astrologers, Aquarians have a highly developed sense of social equality and often are attracted to activism or progressive political organizations.
Like other air signs, Aquarians are said to be less concerned with practical and physical matters than with intellectual pursuits. They feel most comfortable in the world of ideas; they find situations that require emotional responses, such as personal relationships, to be difficult. Astrologers believe that Aquarians have lightning-fast intuitive insight and can quickly grasp abstract concepts. Professions associated with Aquarius include inventing, research, social organizing or activism, astrology, communications, computer sciences, and electronics."
OK, once again your job is to pick the five that best represent Aquarius in the ultimate Sports Zodiac battle. Good luck narrowing it to just five!!! The upper echelon of Aquarius is sick, but in terms of depth Aquarius is kinda weak. (Take out your 5 and see what's left...) There's no in-between with Aquarius.
