January 21 to February 18. Air sign. Playful tricksters who may let you win after toying with you for a while.
Aquarians are curious about why people do what they do, and that curiosity comes to the board. They want to know why one player values a knight over a bishop, or why another keeps winning. They often have several games running at once and know the basic play of every piece.
The attitude is laid back and the game is a pastime. They may let an opponent take a move back or offer a tip on fixing an error. They are also known for unexpected moves and gimmicks, and when they are losing they will hold out for a lucky break and play it to the end.
Aquarians play once or twice a week and have a chess life of around thirty years, the longest of any sign in the book. They prefer stronger opponents but will play anyone.
They start out preferring the queen, bishop, and knight, then move toward different combinations as their experience grows.
Do not be fooled by an unimportant looking piece left out in the open, because that is the gimmick. Keep a close eye on the moves that seem to cost them nothing. The friendliness is real and it is also not the whole picture.
Two Aquarius players are not the same player. The rising sign changes the piece preferences, the temperament, and the way the game is lost. AstroChess breaks Aquarius down across all twelve Sun and Ascendant combinations, which is where the reading gets specific enough to use against someone.
