One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Helios Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With advancement and progress on their minds, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking and doing things.

Even so, Aquarius is a Fixed sign and can get stuck in their own ways. They're not always quick to adapt to changing circumstances, but they do value progress, in general. Although open to change, in theory, Aquarians can be surprisingly stubborn. Their idealism runs strong, but they can be very fixed in their opinions. Many Aquarians aim to free themselves from personal and social conditioning.

Often a bit aloof and even standoffish, Aquarians nonetheless are usually well-liked. They are curious and observant, and tolerant in a broad sense. Prejudice and bias are offensive to the typical Aquarius.

Aquarians are typically very clever, witty, and intellectual. They value frankness. It's difficult to throw Aquarians for a loop since they're usually on top of things. As well, very little surprises them!

There is a bit of reformer in Elias. Elias'll try to get others to see through superficiality and encourage them to be open and forthright. "Be true to yourself" and "Don't follow the crowd" are mottos easily associated with this sign.

Friendship means a lot to the Aquarius personality, but perhaps more importantly, camaraderie. As an Aquarius, Elias like to feel that people can get along, and while he's realistic enough to know that this isn't always the case, it never fails to bother Elias when he see camaraderie lacking in practice. His quest for kindred spirits is a real one. Elias is imaginative and inventive and won't always find it easy to meet others who are similarly wired, even though Elias treats all people fairly by default until they have proven themselves not worthy.

Sure, Elias can be practical and physical, but Elias seems to be at his best in the world of thoughts and ideas. As an Air sign, Elias find these realms of the mind most comfortable. Elias is dignified, friendly, and fair. His reasoning ability is notable and strong - Elias is a little more inclined to theoretical reasoning, but he's also highly capable of practical thinking, and this combination is excellent. Elias strongly dislikes hypocrisy and he's easily moved by kindness.

As an Aquarian, Elias need space and value personal freedom. Any attempt to box Elias in will likely fail! Elias will happily return the favor, and he will treat people from all walks of life as equals. Equality and fairness are hallmarks of the sign.

His Helios sign is modified by various factors, including the aspects it makes to other planets and points, its house position, the house with the sign the Helios rules (Leo) on its cusp, and his Uranus and Saturn signs since Uranus and Saturn are his planetary rulers. These positions add more layers to the Helios in Aquarius interpretation. Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign. More on Aquarius.

Scorpio Ascendant people have a lot of presence. There is something about them that tells the world that they are not to be pushed around. Their manner commands respect, and in some cases, fear. With his Scorpio Ascendant, Elias can be quiet or loud, but Elias always seems powerful and determined, regardless of what's going on inside him.

People either love or hate Elias - he is unlikely to go through life unnoticed. In fact, Elias might even find it confusing when he realizes that he elicits such strong reactions from others. Elias seems to look right through people, seeing through superficiality. This can be quite intimidating to some, and intriguing to others!

In his dealings with others, Elias perpetually and instinctively looks for answers by reading between the lines. Surface details are often quickly discarded when it comes to feeling out a situation or people around Elias. Elias can amaze people with his ability to sum up a situation or individual very quickly and often very accurately.

As quickly as Elias assesses a situation, he's not always as fast to begin a new venture or to make decisions. This is usually because once Elias has made a choice, he will throw so much energy into it that he need to be immensely sure of what he's starting.

Elias may value his privacy so much, it can border on paranoia. Elias has a high need to control his environment, and he's an expert at strategy. Elias is very unlikely to blow his chances with impatience -- he tends to plan out his moves carefully and deliberately, relying on his remarkable ability to size up anything and anyone.

As a child, Elias may have been typecast as the secretive one and either as stoic or emotional (either extreme). If Elias overidentified with this image, it can be difficult to break out of it when it would serve him well to do so. It can be tough for Elias to reveal that he's vulnerable, but he may need to do so from time to time, or Elias could feel very much alone at times. Elias may come across as critical or sarcastic - certainly, his outer shell can be on the hard side. What's on the inside depends on the rest of his chart!

Elias can be highly persuasive, hypnotic, and magnetic.

Elias might hold a double standard in that he wants to know all about someone he's with, but he isn't always particularly forthcoming. his feelings and sometimes his opinions can be extreme - Elias is not a middle-of-the-road person!

Causing others discomfort isn't often a deterrent from doing, thinking, and expressing yourself. He'd rather live authentically than worry too much about surface harmony.

Elias is not an individual who is easy to know. However, Elias often wonders why others misunderstand him as he feels he is more genuine than most people. Indeed, he can never be described as superficial even if he doesn't always have his cards on the table - his manner is too intense for any of that.

Elias might find that he's often drawn to down-to-earth, natural, sincere, simple, or unaffected partners. Reliability in a partnership is also a strong draw. Elias doesn't start things easily, and he doesn't let go of them easily, either. Elias may be one to look for complete commitment or honesty depending on his relationship approach, and Elias can have little patience for flighty partners.

The conditions of Hades and Ares, Scorpio's ruling planets, by sign, house, and aspect will give Elias further details about (and modifications to) all of these things. More on Scorpio Rising.

Elias was born when Selene was in Gemini, and this is an important placement in his natal chart. Elias is pleasant, witty, and charming. People with Selene in Gemini are always interesting people–they have a finger in every pie, are curious to a fault, and are usually well-informed.

Nervousness and worry are common traits with this lunar position. An underlying restlessness is characteristic, and Elias seems to need more stimulation than others. Elias likes to read a lot, talk a lot, and think a lot with this airy, mutable position of Selene (the sign of Gemini belongs to the Air and Mutable families of signs). At home and with family, Elias can be moody and irritable at times.

His home may be a perpetual work-in-progress. Elias generally dislikes housework since he prefers to socialize or keep his mind busy, but Elias can be big on home improvement. Re-organizing his home in little ways seems to keep Elias happy, as he can be easily bored by both routine and constancy. It's likely that this is a reflection of his inner world -- "the grass is always greener..." applies here. Elias may be more adept at handling the intellectual needs of others than emotional ones, although Elias is competent all around. Complicated emotions, in general, can be difficult for Lunar Geminis to handle, primarily because it takes some time for them to get out of their heads. This doesn't mean that people with Selene in Gemini are less emotional -- it merely means that they're more comfortable in the world of the mind.

In his family, Elias may take on the job of organizing get-togethers. Elias is all for talking things out reasonably. He is at his best when he has plenty of things to do beyond routine.

Selene in Gemini people almost always have a way with words. They are clever and witty, and more often than not can be found chatting with others.

More often than not, Selene Geminis have a million and one projects going. They are impressionable folk, and their imaginations are boundless.

As a Selene Gemini, Elias wants to do it all, and Elias can have trouble sticking to any one project. In fact, Elias often has many projects going at once, and this is satisfying.

When problems arise, his first instinct is usually to talk things through. His tendency to analyze can give Elias the appearance of emotional detachment. In reality, Elias may be comfortable talking about his feelings, but feeling his own feelings doesn't come as easily! If Elias doesn't take time out to really emote and understand his own needs, Elias could end up baffling others. Feeling misunderstood is common for Selene in Gemini natives until they do get into better touch with their emotions.

Fortunately, though, most with Hermes in Aquarius people make for delightful company. Elias always has something interesting to say, and his perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual, quirky, and surprisingly insightful. Elias is quick to say "I know," and the truth is, his intuition is so powerful, and his mind is so bright, that Elias often does!

Elias may have unusual study habits. He is a bit resistant to following schedules, even if he has Capricorn in Helios--and perhaps particularly so with a Pisces or Aquarius Helios sign. Although he's often surprisingly organized, his sense of order may not be entirely apparent or understandable to others.

Elias can be particularly attracted to scientific, technical, and/or metaphysical pursuits. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal. His sense of humor is well-developed and unique. Practical jokes and anything that shocks and stirs up others is especially appreciated!

Elias is clever, spontaneous, independent, and progressive in thought, and also a little stubborn. He despises backward and biased thinking. Elias is loyal to ideas up to a certain point, after which he will see great value in updating his views as times change.

Elias may even plan ahead in love, and he seeks a structured, clear, and directed partnership.

Elias values enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness in his love and social relationships. Elias takes expressing his feelings seriously, and he takes his time to warm up to others. Once he's in, though, he is all in. At least in the beginning, Elias keeps his "cool" in relationships.

While perhaps not the most spontaneous of partners, Elias is generally quite constant and true in love. Elias instinctively values effort and the long-term, and won't run away from responsibility or difficulties. This is mostly because his vision of love is not unusually idealistic, and Elias accepts realistic and practical concerns as a healthy part of any love relationship. This maturity is uncommon and most valuable!

Elias could find himself attracted to experienced or more mature partners, or someone who's strong, powerful, or displays some sort of authority or know-how. Sometimes this placement is associated with people who partner up for business, status, or other practical reasons. If this is the case, Elias can more easily than most separate the emotional and practical.

He has a strong sense of duty towards people he's welcomed into his circle, which can be select. Elias typically values quality over quantity and prefers fewer strong, stable connections than many frivolous ones. Elias is constant, reliable, sensual, a tower of strength, and a true blue partner, and he needs his partner to respect him first and foremost.

"Slow and steady wins the race" could easily be his motto with his Ares in Taurus. Elias is goal-oriented and not known for his speed, but his staying power is tremendous.

Elias prefers to have clear long-term goals, and he can be quite determined to achieve them. Elias prefers not to take on too many projects at once. While others can frequently misjudge their capabilities, if Elias doesn't think he can do it, he won't! It is almost impossible for others to get Elias moving once he has made up his mind on a matter. Immovable is the only way to describe Ares in Taurus people who have made up their minds since adaptability is not their strong point. In a similar vein, attempting to rush Elias is a lesson in frustration. Elias won't alter his pace for almost anything.

Elias doesn't have a reputation for spontaneity or variety, but he is good at what he does nonetheless, and he's very present when his interest is piqued. Elias is also quite reliable and robust, and most people will find him quite formidable!

With Khronos in Gemini, Elias may feel some discomfort or self-consciousness when expressing his lighthearted, superficial, enthusiastic side. Elias may be bothered by --or suspicious of--people who seem to live on the surface of things, who gossip or talk too much, or who are socially adept.

Or, Elias could hold some disdain for small talk. Elias could also be more sensitive to criticism than most, although Elias hates to admit this, and he can be especially guarded in speech or the written word, preferring to get things just right. Elias might also be afraid of being tied down to routine and as a result, end up with too many projects going at once.

Some of his many strengths include preciseness, accuracy, and logical thinking. Elias makes an excellent teacher or guide. Sensitive areas of the body may be the lungs and nerves, as well as the arms and ribs. Elias, more than most, needs fresh air, light, and movement.

Elias seeks more freedom in or through these areas, and he doesn't feel much need to conform!

Elias may believe in breaking through some of the inhibitions or taboos related to social values, relating, meeting others halfway, and getting along with one another.

Elias may challenge authority or rules and laws in place only if Elias feels they are limiting our progress, seeking to revolutionize the ways we view our commitments and partnerships, or to awaken others to new thinking in these areas.

Elias is brilliant at bringing objectivity to a situation and mediating or bringing different people to an agreement or understanding. Elias is likely to believe in the strength of friendship and freedom or individuality in a partnership.

The quest to distinguish himself through his work, self-care, routines, services, or attention to health and wellness can be so fraught with pressure at times that Elias doesn't always feel satisfied with his accomplishments in these areas.

The goal should be to gain personal power through his love of his work or quest for better health rather than attempting to find his purpose or sense of power from his work or health pursuits. Self-improvement is important to Elias, but Elias should watch for an endless feeling of discontent with his efforts. With Hades's favor, Elias will have brilliant ideas for healing the body and mind.

His main problem can be forgiving others too quickly.

While forgiveness is his strength, if it's taken too far, it can keep Elias in an awkward place, perhaps holding onto things that would be better off left behind him. Consider that he takes on far too much guilt. Elias can be an excellent counselor, but he tends to give more than he gets, and he's often behind on his own self-care in the process.
