Being a 3H Aquarian opposite Uranus, born from an Aquarian/Leo combo, with a sister who is an Aquarian and many friends and family with Sun conjunct or opposite Uranus, I find the sign itself very innovative and creative - but Uranus is a pain in the ***, a huge ego and like all Aquarians I know, and being one, we need impovement and change constantly. Problem with most Aquarians is they cannot change because they are the last "fixed" sign, so generally life has to come down hard on them eventually (in order to change).
Astronomy, Astrology and the Sciences which Aquarius rules (at least in the age of electricity, pollution, higher thinking) is something that has pretty much depleted our earth's resources since the 1920s.
On the rebel front of rebelliousness for truth - that is generally way over Idealized and only a small percentage of it can be manifested because as an Air sign, its not really about manifestation in the physical, its more about speculation.
If Scorpios have issues with sex, Aquarians have issues with Friends, so as the sign of friendships and groups, there you have it, problems and so forth. The tagline "Hopes wishes and dreams" actually belong to Pisces in the 12th, not the 11th in Aquarius.
But for determination and pushing through what others cannot imagine, that is what it does best.
So no, the Age of Aquarius is filled with nothing but troubles and fighting and arguing. And as soon as Pluto goes into Aquarius (soon), we will birth the next Revolutionaries who will fight the Pluto in Capricorn generation for everything they stand for.
