Aquarius at a Glance

• General

  • Giving: This sign is very materially unattached, they don’t mind giving anything to those in need

  • Emotionally disinterested: Aquarius is known as the scientist, so subjective emotion is hard for them to work with

  • Inventive: That same scientific mind can figure out how to solve and fix just about any situation

  • Self-concerned: People often forget that Leo and Aquarius are on the same axis; they both engage in levels of self-interest, but for different reasons

  Symbol

  • The Water-Bearer

  • The water is knowledge of the past, the present and the future, very much what it represents in the Water signs of Astrology

  • The carrier can be interpreted as the vessel itself, the gourd that contains the water; the invented tool that makes the lives of all better

  • If we look at the bearer of the gourd, we have options:

    • Enki, the Sumerian God of Knowledge, Craft and Creation

    • Ganymede, the cupbearer of Olympus, taken away from his home by Zeus

    • Prometheus, while not associated with the constellation itself, has often been tied to Aquarius due to his story of giving fire (technology) to humans

• Element

• Air

• their easy going nature, flowing in and out of rules with ease

• their nomadic tendencies; detached in nature, these folks don’t settle down too often

• their intelligence; words are wind, after all, and this sign certainly used their words to their benefit
  

• Modality or Quality

• Fixed

• their focus

• their persistence

• their refusal to change for anyone

Granddaddy

• Ruler(s)

  • Uranus, the Sky, itself

    • His status as the grandfather of the Olympians fits Aquarius’ “Zodiacal age”, being represented as an old, wizened man

    • Uranus, the planet, rotates on its side, having its poles parallel to its spin, rather than perpendicular, exemplifying Aquarius’ eccentricities

• Hidden Trait

  • Extremely scary when angry: It’s quite difficult to piss of an Aquarian person, but once you have, you’ve gained quite the opponent

• Deadly Sin

  • Pride: they don’t you or anyone else!

• Crime if Arrested

  • Robin Hood-type Embezzlement: they’d work their way up in a corporate job, just like Capricorn; but instead of keeping company funds for themselves, they’d funnel the money to the local food pantry

• Loves

  • Their social life; You can always find an Aquarian networking, whether for work ,for fun ,or for hobbies

• Hates

• Self-centered people; while very self-contained and even self-interested, Aquarians cannot stand someone who is unable to hold space for others

• Will

• Have the craziest ideas… that just might work

• Won’t

• See anyone mistreated; this sign loves the underdog and would do anything to help them
