About Aquarius
(Jan.21-Feb.19)
Aquarius is the eleventh
sign of the Zodiac.
After the last three Signs' learning about
other people, Aquarius
works with social
institutions to make
them work for people
as they were meant to
work. They are
humanitarians and philanthropists,
the visionaries of the Zodiac.
Friendship is important to them,
and they have many
acquaintances in addition
to their close
friends. As the eleventh Sign,
Aquarius also
rules the eleventh House:
the House of Friends.
The Astrological Symbol
of Aquarius is the
Water Bearer. Like the Bearer bringing
water to his people, this Sign brings new
ideas to the world. It represents
consciousness and the flowing of ideas,
but they can also be impatient and
temperamental with people who don't
share their visions. They can be
opinionated, and they work hard to bring
their ideas to fruition, stubbornly refusing
to give up their causes. In this way,
Aquarius exemplifies the Fixed Quality
assigned to it. They are independent and
individualistic, within the world but
detached from it. While they are
peace-loving and friendly, they can also be
cruel and tormenting of people who
disagree with them. Within the Zodiac,
Aquarius is opposite Leo, the Sign of
Pleasure. While Leo focuses on personal
pleasure and comfort, Aquarius tends to be
about philanthropy and other people.
Groups of people are important to them,
rather than single individuals.
Aquarius is ruled by the Planets Uranus and
Saturn. In ancient Roman mythology,
Saturn (and his Greek equivalent, Cronus)
was the father of many Gods, including
Zeus. Uranus was associated with the
Earth, and he was the oldest god. In
ancient times, Saturn ruled both Capricorn
and Aquarius; Aquarius is the masculine, or
day, aspect and Capricorn is the feminine,
or night. Aquarius' ability to inflict torment
on enemies comes from Saturn, while
Capricorn is affected by Saturn's
hardworking influence. When Uranus was
discovered, astrologers assigned it as the
modern ruler of Aquarius. It is from this
Planet that Aquarians receive their
visionary nature. Uranus is associated with
progress and technology -- anything that
is radical -- and it rules electricity and
Astrology. Some Aquarians have genius
that borders on insanity, and their
progressive ideas and association with
anything that is different makes them
different to Capricorn. Aquarians are
inventors, unpredictable and
unconventional, but they may also be
inconsistent and erratic.
The Element associated with Aquarius is
Air. Air Signs are intellectual: they tend to
respond to the world through intellect,
rather than physical action, practicality, or
emotion. In Aquarians, intellect manifests
itself in their fixed opinions and eagerness
to share and discuss them. While people
born under Aquarius are tolerant and
broad-minded, they tend to stick to their
beliefs. Their intellect makes them logical
and self-confident, but it may also make
them aloof from the people around them.
They are original, offbeat, and even
eccentric, but they are also rather bored
by detail. Reformist and experimental, they
may also seem cold toward people who
don't share their intellectual orientation to life.
Aquarians tend to have talent in a number
of areas, both scientific and creative. They
are unique and rebellious people, driven to
change the world. They can sometimes be
show-offs, but it's usually to draw
attention to their causes rather than to
themselves. Their freedom is important to
them, and they are often driven to help
others become free as well.
In their leisure time, people born under
Aquarius are social animals. They greatly
prefer team sports to solitary athletics,
and they often have a fondness for
baseball and tennis. In love relationships,
Aquarius is flirtatious, not possessive or
jealous.
Aquarius rules the ankles. People born
under Aquarius may be more susceptible to
sprains than people of other Signs.
Aquarius's colors are the colors of the
Water they carry: turquoise, aqua, and
silver.
The great strength of the Aquarius-born is
in their visionary nature. They are the
people who take the world to the next
level; they make people look at things in a
different way than before. Their ability to
break the rules and move beyond what
others think is possible makes them one of
the most innovative characters of the
Zodiac.
