In simple words
Aquarius is one of the 12 zodiac signs (20 January – 18 February). It is a air sign (element) and a fixed sign (mode), ruled by Saturn.
In a few words, Aquarius is about originality, humanity, independence, insight. If your Sun, Moon or rising sign is Aquarius, this page describes part of you.
The Aquarius nature
Your mind is clear, original and steady once it settles on an idea. You see people with unusual accuracy, often understanding them better than they understand themselves. Convention does not impress you; what works and what is fair do. You are friendly to strangers and loyal to friends, and you often find yourself at the centre of groups, causes and new ways of doing things.
In love
You love through friendship and freedom. You need a partner who is also your equal and your ally, who gives you room to be yourself. Your feelings run deeper than you sometimes show. Letting someone in to your inner world, not just your ideas, turns a good partnership into a lasting one.
At work
You thrive in technology, science, invention, social causes, community work, design and anywhere a fresh approach is needed. You are good at seeing what a group needs and building systems that serve it. Rigid hierarchies frustrate you; collaborative, forward-looking teams energise you.
The shadow side
Stubbornness can show up as contrariness, doing the opposite just to prove you can. Detachment can look like coldness. Ask whether you are protecting freedom or avoiding feeling.
Growth
Your gift is vision for the many. Your growth is in warmth for the one: letting people close, saying how you feel, and remembering that independence and intimacy can coexist. Fresh air, movement and good conversation keep your bright mind in balance.
