Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac, and as the eleventh sign Aquarius rules the eleventh house - the House of Friends. Friendship is important to Aquarians, and they have many acquaintances in addition to their close 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. 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 Uranus was associated with the earth, and 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. 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.
