Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)

Aquarius is the 11th sign in the Zodiac and is represented by The Water Carrier. The symbol is a man holding two life giving jugs of water, which are then poured over the earth for the benefit of all. Aquarius is a masculine, or positive sign that is considered more aggressive, direct, assertive, and self-assured than feminine/negative signs.


Element: Air

Aquarius is one of 3 air signs in the Zodiac, all of whom share similar characteristics. Air signs are typically intellectual, objective, lively, idealistic and articulate. The other air signs in the Zodiac that share these characteristics are Libra and Gemini.


Planet: Saturn. Uranus

Saturn doesn't make things easy. That's the role of the taskmaster of the Zodiac. Saturn commands us to get to work and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are important to this Planet, yet if we're eager to conquer the world, that's okay, too. Uranus brings with it a new way of looking at things, and its approach is best met with an expanded consciousness. Originality, inventions, computers, cutting-edge technologies and future events are all ruled by this Planet. Uranus sees no need for the status quo, preferring instead to break with tradition and create a new mold. While the building blocks (science, electricity) are safe here, this Planet would rather focus its gaze on a new world order. To that end, rebellion, revolution, dictators, an autonomous state and free will all fall under the aegis of this Planet.




Personality Trait: "I Know"

The Aquarius person is unconventional, detached, intellectual, individualistic, tolerant, unique, rebellious, sophisticated, future-oriented, humanitarian, cause-oriented, believes in groups and society, and progressive. They can also sometimes be unpredictable, dogmatic, over-permissive, aloof, eccentric and elitist. Aquarius not only marches to the beat of a different drummer, they write new songs as they go. They never stop thinking and are mind-oriented people. Many inventors, eccentrics, and highly original people are born under this sign. They have the ability to live on many different intellectual levels, and because of that, not only are there more people born under Aquarius in the Hall of Fame, but also in mental institutions, than any other sign.


However, everyday Aquarius is extremely humanitarian and involved in social programs. They are able to be objective, because they don’t allow their emotions to get involved in their decisions. Aquarius attracts friends, and are very loyal. They are the Zodiacs most unusual people, no two are alike. They see life in a different way than the other signs and are non-conformists. Others might think their habits or ideas are crazy, but it is their uniqueness that makes them so special.
