As the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius is the sign of the future and of the visionary.   It is always looking to the future and is rarely concerned with the here and now.  

Intellectual independence is Aquarius’ most marked characteristic.  It creates theories and principles from ideas and uses them as building blocks. It seeks to exchange thoughts and ideas widely and with as many people as possible (The “water” being poured out by the Water Bearer stands for truth).  Aquarius is a communicator, an idea person, living intensely in the mind.  It dispenses wisdom.

Aquarius can be incredibly stubborn about its ideas but is happy to adopt new perspectives when enough evidence is shown.  Aquarius appears liberal, progressive but is also obstinate and fixed in its opinion.  Problems arise when this sign’s sense of identity becomes inextricably linked to its ideas. 

Aquarius is humanitarian and interested in making the world a better place.  It is visionary and progressive and loves to think about how things can be better.  Aquarius may be unorthodox (often a wacky, witty madcap) who refuses to follow the crowd. This sign enjoys being different and though sometimes its behavior seems erratic, Aquarius’ heart is always in the right place.  

This sign is always searching for the unusual and will try anything once.  It enjoys the company of others and seeks out clubs and societies that work together for a common objective.  Sometimes it will be argumentative not because it feels deeply about a topic, but simply because it enjoys intellectual exercise.

While Aquarius is friendly, kind, and compassionate, it can also be impersonal in its dealings with others, treating everyone fairly and rarely playing favorites.  In all relationships, Aquarius puts friendship first.  Although it enjoys being in the company of others, at times, it needs space to be independent.  This can make it appear aloof, cold, and unfeeling.

Aquarius’ character is a system of paradoxes.  It enjoys being with people but is content to be alone.  It likes to travel but loves relaxing at home. It is friendly and outgoing but also detached and reserved.  It has both a scientific and artistic frame of mind.

Glyph: The pictograph represents the water that flows from the vessel of the Water Bearer.  It is also a picture of the human ankle in motion (the part of the anatomy that Aquarius rules).  In symbolic terms, the ridged unbroken line represents electric energy, universal thought, and the wisdom of the future.

Myth: Zeus made Ganymede the cupbearer to the gods.  He was to bestow water, or life, upon Earth.  Zeus had his pet eagle Aquilla (a Greek name which means eagle) to carry him to Mount Olympus.
