If You're An Aquarius, Here's The Poetry Collection You Should Read

Like fellow air signs Gemini and Libra, Aquarius is an intellectually-driven sign that has a massive rebellious streak and thrives on freedom. Allure points out that you only have to look at the symbol for Aquarius: the water bearer, nurturing a dry, cracked land back to good health.

But with so much focus on the best ways to make the world around them better, brighter, and more colorful, solar Aquarians often lose sight of themselves — especially their emotions. Co-Star Astrology explains this could be because of the fear of appearing too emotional or illogical, and the fear of losing the intellectual upper hand.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule and you don't have to look any further than the work of Toni Morrison, Langston Hughes, Angela Davis, Audre Lorde, or J.M. Coetzee for examples of Aquarian writers using their emotion as a means of caring for their community (via Famous People). 

If your sun is in Aquarius, reading Iain S. Thomas' "Every Word You Cannot Say" may help you get in touch with — and find language for expressing — your emotions. On his website, Thomas explains that he wrote the collection while working through the grief of a close friend's death and it grew into a bigger meditation about loneliness, emotion, and our fears of not just the truth, but the truth of our emotions.
