Aquarius
Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac, a fixed air sign whose traditional ruler is Saturn and modern ruler Uranus, covering roughly 20 January to 18 February. In Western astrology it is tied to independence, ideas and a sense of the collective. Having the Sun in Aquarius describes a person drawn to originality, freedom of thought and shared progress, sometimes at the cost of emotional distance.
The Aquarius temperament
If you are an Aquarius, you think for yourself: you question, you imagine other ways, you guard your freedom. Your fixed air keeps you steady in your convictions, turned toward the group and the future. Your strength is clarity and loyalty to your ideas; your lesson is staying close to people’s hearts without fearing the warmth of connection.
Its place in the zodiac
Eleventh of the twelve signs, Aquarius widens to the collective what Capricorn built. An air sign, it shares that breath with Gemini and Libra; a fixed sign, it holds winter steady. Across from it, Leo embodies the radiant I while Aquarius thinks in we: the person answers the group.
