Aquarius in Astrology

Aquarius Astrology

The Water-Bearer


The Aquarius Zodiac Sign in the Horoscope


Aquarius, the Water Bearer, is the eleventh sign of the Zo­di­ac. The sun enters it on or around January 20, in mid-winter. Aquarius belongs to the ele­ment air, its quality is fixed and its charge is positive. Its Ruler is Uranus, and Saturn exalts in it. Its motto is: "I know." In the horo­scope chart, Aquarius brings contemplation and originality to planets or Houses therein.

Your Zodiac Sign

The sun. Those who have Aquarius as their star sign are born when the sun was in Aquarius, normally January 20 - February 19 (it differs slightly from year to year, be­cause of the leap years). Therefore, it is also - more correctly - called the sun sign.
     The sun in your horoscope is your natural self - what you are when you relax, when other planets in your horoscope are not active. It is your basic drive, a character you have as an ingredient - more or less evident in all you do and all you are. It is the most important point in your horoscope chart, but of course it is not the only thing that describes your personality. You need to look at all the components of your birth chart, to get a correct astrological description of your­self.
     If your sun sign is Aquarius, you are a thoughtful and contemplative person, striving to understand things around you, no matter how difficult that might be. You take nothing for granted, and you don't just adapt to what seems to be expected of you. You want to find your own way, do things the way you yourself think is the best. That leads to many quite original conclusions and habits. Since you don't follow any trends, you have a behavior that is rather unconventional, sometimes even odd in the eyes of others. But it makes sense to you, and that's what matters. You would not dream of living in a certain way, just because everyone else is.
     A Zodiac sign does not give exactly the same influ­ence all through its 30°. Its first third has something of a cardinal quality, whatever the quality of the sign as a whole is, its second third is slightly more fixed in quality, and the last third is more mutable.
     If the sun is in the beginning of Aquarius, you treasure reason and regard it as the instrument by which to penetrate all of existance and its enigmas. You come to your own conclusions and go your own way accordingly, whatever others tell you. If the sun is in the middle of Aquarius, you spend most of your time contemplating, meditating, and there's no aspect of life you don't think through before making your mind up about it. If the sun is at the end of Aquarius, you wonder so much about the complexity of life, it sometimes makes you dizzy. You want to understand everything, but the more you learn the more there is yet to learn. Fascinating, but frustrating, too.

Your Father

The sun in the horoscope also represents your father (the mother is represented by the moon).
     If you have the sun in Aquarius, your relation to your father is one of discussion and endless exchange of thought. You have great respect for each other's wisdom and gladly spend hours exploring the thoughts and ideas of one another. Your relation is not the conventional one of father and child, it's more like you're equals and friends with similar views on the world. When you were a child, your father was impatient for you to grow up into an adult with whom to have intelligent conversations. That might have been straining on you, but you adapted soon enough.

Aquarius, by Hevelius.

The Planets

When another planet or other point of the horo­scope is in Aquarius, it is also affected by the sign, get­ting some­thing of its character. Here are those points, what they stand for, and how they are affected by Aquarius:

The planets.
    Sun   basic drive - Aquarius brings thoughtfulness and sincerity in all.
    Moon   longing - Aquarius brings a thirst for knowledge and a tendency to get lost in day­dreaming.
    Mercury   curiosity - Aquarius brings sophisticated communicative skills and the capacity to learn a lot.
    Venus   affection - Aquarius brings inspired thoughts and great ideas.
    Mars   aggression - Aquarius brings sharp mental focus and perseverence in intellectual matters.
    Jupiter   luck - Aquarius brings success in intellectual matters and plenty of ideas popping up all the time.
    Saturn   duty - Aquarius brings serenity and a tendency to take everything very seriously.
    Uranus   contemplation - Aquarius brings a mind capable of great feats and insights that few are able to reach.
    Neptune   fantasy - Aquarius brings contem­plations to get lost in, and transcending meditation, not to mention fascinating dreams.
    Pluto   catharsis - Aquarius brings revelations of the mind and the way to look at the world.
    Ascendant, AC   attitude - Aquarius brings an atti­tude of sincerity and thoughtfulness.
    Medium Coeli, MC   self-image - Aquarius brings a sense of being utterly wise and the need to let everybody know it.

The Houses

In the astrological Houses, the Zodiac signs also bring their characters, influencing the environments de­scribed by the Houses. Here are the twelve Houses, what they stand for, and how Aquarius affects them:
  1. Identity - Aquarius makes you seem wise and quite an original.
  2. Resources - Aquarius makes your knowledge your greatest asset.
  3. Communication - Aquarius makes you a serious learner and a sincere friend.
  4. Home - Aquarius makes your home peaceful and your family ties deep.
  5. Pastime - Aquarius makes you driven by your curiosity.
  6. Work - Aquarius makes your work advanced and analytical.
  7. Partners - Aquarius makes your relations profound and lasting.
  8. Unknown - Aquarius makes you understand mysterious things.
  9. Travel - Aquarius makes you travel to distant and exotic places.
  10. Career - Aquarius makes you reach and keep respected positions.
  11. Ideals - Aquarius makes you an idealist, pondering utopian ideas.
  12. Shortcomings - Aquarius makes it difficult for you to go to the bottom of things.
     Of course, all of the above is very general, mainly to give you an idea of how the sign works in the horoscope. You need to study your horoscope chart carefully, to make a deeper and more nuanced inter­pretation.

Tetrabiblos, by Ptolemy.

Tetrabiblos

There are astrologers who use additional celestial bodies, as well as additional aspects. I stick to the horoscope fundamentals specified by Ptolemy, the Greek mathematician of the 2nd century CE, in his classic on astrology: Tetrabiblos. It's the primary source to western astrology.
