⋯ Aquarius, the Water-Bearer January 22 – February 19 ⋯
Aquarius is the 11th sign in the zodiac and embodies the energy of innovation and tradition of their ruling planets, Uranus and Saturn. They are the visionaries and symbolizes friendship. Making the world better, through collaboration, is what they are built for.
This with Sun in Aquarius may be misinterpreted as aloof, when they are merely off traveling in the mental realm re-imagining the world and a utopia. Not usually emotional or even affectionate, (remember Aquarius lies opposite to Leo), they are friendly and a faithful and devoted friend. Their love is more universally distributed. They are quiet, idealistic, and independent, and they revere freedom, which is why they like things universal and impersonal. The downside is that they only open up to those in their innermost circle, sometimes only one person and this intense focus can undo many relationships. They can also be moody and impatient.
The mad scientist and humanitarian of the horoscope wheel, futuristic Aquarius energy helps us innovate, unite for social justice and follow our utopian ideals.

Aquarius is a fixed sign, along with Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio, and they can be stubborn and dogmatic about their beliefs. Another way to understand the nature of fixed signs is as stabilizers who, in the middle of each season, craft the ideas initiated by cardinal signs. The fixed signs get things done.
While they may seem immune to fatigue and has tremendous energy, watching out for an overly demanding schedule is good for their health. They also enjoy – and require – solitude to function.
Aquarians have much the same intensely magnetic characters as Scorpians…where Scorpio revels the darkly shifting depths of water, Aquarius has the ethereal, electric qualities of air.
