The relationship of a taurus and aquarius: proved wrong

Not only has the zodiac been referred to as the path of the sun, but it has also been universally used to predict or reflect characteristics of personality from various cultures. There’s 12 signs of the zodiac that are each associated with animal constellations. I was born on April 30th, which makes me a taurus. Being a taurus makes me reliable, practical, and ambitious. I would agree with those assigned traits of mine.

My cousin was born on February 15th and is an aquarius. Aquarius-born people are independent, loyal, friendly, inventive, and intelligent. I would also agree that my cousin shares those traits with her zodiac identity, thus making the zodiac a reliable source.

However, not everything pertaining to the zodiac is true. Though my daily horoscopes that I read are mostly true, the poor relationship, or lack thereof, between a taurus and aquarius is false. She’s smart, tall, and has long, dark brown hair. She’s my best friend, cousin, but I think of her as almost my sister, and the one person who I can speak to at anytime of the day about absolutely anything. Her name is Hanna. Did I mention she is an aquarius?

Let me set the scene on a summer night. I’m laying across a blanket on the floor trying to fall asleep. The cold air coming from the open window drifts throughout the room. The fresh air feels nice and calming against my skin at night while snuggled in a soft blanket. Sometimes Hanna and I like to have sleepovers during the summer. I enjoy moments like this where it’s just Hanna and I giggling when we should be sleeping. We both try to tame ourselves so the whole house doesn’t wake up, but normally our efforts aren’t enough because the next thing we know...

“Ding!” The text ringtone of her cell phone goes off.

“Oh no,” we both say.

“It’s Nancy!” she whispers.

Reading the text, “Go to bed!” she says.

When it came to cake time at her 8th grade graduation party, I couldn’t help but start crying because I was proud of her and scared about the future. I feared I might lose part of our connection when she went off to high school.

“Liz are you crying?” my aunt Ellen asked.

I couldn’t respond as I was all choked up. I could only make an effort to gently nod my head up and down. We both continued standing in the middle of the kitchen hugging and crying on each other’s shoulder.

Hanna and I’s bond is indescribable however according to our zodiacs, we shouldn’t get along. But we do, and even though our horoscopes accurately depict our personalities, they are wrong about our relationship. Of course, this idea of mistaken predispositions doesn’t just pertain to zodiacs and the month one was born in. Whether there seems to be an obvious answer in life, stretch your boundaries, be open-minded and defy the odds. Nothing on the surface seems like it really is and this goes for Hanna and I’s relationship too. I hope this will encourage you to go out in the world and make your dreams a reality given the surfaced obstacles and doubt.
