What are some of the craziest ways you've drastically changed direction in your lives? We're known for moving in a zig-zag, lightning bolt kinda way, so it'd be fun to hear about the unusual things you've done that other Aquarians would appreciate.

I'll go first: In my shyer, nerdier, lower-self-esteem days, I somehow had the guts to proposition the most intelligent, kind, and SEXIEST Scorpio I've ever met for an erotic adventure. I'm so glad I took that risk, it marked a transformation in my personal and psychic growth, and now I feel more comfortable being my eccentric self than ever before.

    I had been hitchhiking in Big Sur and within 2 weeks of camping under pine trees and meeting the locals, I managed a job where I would have my own trailer and a stipend and being the caretaker of a public beach. I mean, I'm talkin' about a GORGEOUS beach, it woulda been my own perfect wonderful space...

    But then, the night before I was to move into my trailer and start the job, the full moon came and suddenly I had to rush off to Mexico, I packed my stuff in a jiffy, hitched a ride to the nearest bus station. It was a 4-day straight bus ride to southern Oaxaca state.

    Oh man. That choice to leave Big Sur colored my life in weird ways and my personal growth was kinda stunted for about 2 years.

        Wow....
        No Uranus is not easy on us,lol.

        I decided that my life sucked one day so I said, "This sucks" and I left my fiance and all of my belongings and moved 3,000 miles away with just my driver's license in my pocket.
        And I haven't looked back once,lol.

        Good times =)

          Oh wow, I forgot that I left my fiance of 10 years, changed my job and cut off all my old friends to try and start a new and better life.

          And I've got absolutely no regrets. :)

          Uranus has granted me the most amazing surprises though, so I can't complain too much about its unpredictable influence. I imagine if I ever have a family that my kids would be happy surprises, and my partner would never cease to amaze me. I'd never be bored thats for sure lol

            I'm with you Petra. I think the best side to having a Uranus ruler is being able to adapt to suprising changes. I'm sure that could be paralyzing to some other signs.

              "I think the best side to having a Uranus ruler is being able to adapt to suprising changes. "

              Yeah, life is still handing out surprises. Just when I think I've settled down... *boom*!

              And yes, I'm amazingly able to blend in and adapt to just about anything. Cheers!

                I agree that I've become very adaptable to change and skilled at handling a crisis.

                I must be a bit of a masochist tho, because I want or maybe need the big Uranian shake-up in my life right now...the stagnation is driving me nuts! The most Trying of circumstances seem to bring out my best.

                  I know what you mean Petra. Sometimes I have to force myself to sit down and just wait the ancy spell out.
                  Sometimes I just want to shave my head and move to another country, just on a whim for no particular reason at all save for that feeling of drastic ChAnGe....
                  *sigh*

                  =)

                    I can often be heard saying "I like change. I just try to not change the big things."

                    Well, I've changed big things the last few years, and as for results, the jury is still out.
