Aquarius

Jan 20 – Feb 18Ruled by UranusTrait: Visionary

Aquarius is the water-bearer, though it is an air sign — a contradiction that suits its nature perfectly. Ruled by Uranus, the planet of revolution and sudden insight, Aquarians see the world slightly askew from everyone else and prefer it that way. They are the inventors, the contrarians, the people who were right about something ten years before anyone else noticed. Their emotional style is warm but detached, like a professor who genuinely cares about the subject but not the grade.

Why Aquarius?

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18) was identified by the Babylonians as the 'Great One' who poured water from the heavens. The Greeks linked it to Ganymede, the mortal so beautiful that Zeus brought him to Olympus as cupbearer to the gods. Its winter timing reflects the rainy season in the ancient Mediterranean.
