Aquarius Personality

You are the innovators of the Zodiac. The best way to understand your sign is to think about the progression through the earth signs of our celestial heavens. Taurus plants the seed, Virgo harvests the seed, and Capricorn represents the pinnacle of civilization. What comes after this? The unknown. The yet-to-be-discovered. The future.

Aquarius sees the world as it should be, could be or will be. Tuned into the beat of a different drummer, you do things in your way. There are, however, some Aquarians who act a lot more like Capricorns. Go back and read that section if you don’t identify with the particular personality aspects discussed here.

Freedom is fundamental to you. You are destined to bring the world new ways of doing and looking at things and must have the space to manifest them. Your sense of style is unique and sometimes dazzling. You can relate to almost all others in a detached way, and you are dedicated to bringing humanity a step closer to fair and just. Injustice pushes your buttons like nothing else.

You have many friends, and you are conversant in an abundance of topics. You follow your intuition with a sense of purpose, and you listen to it even when it seems odd. Somehow, you know that it genuinely provides the best guidance.

You want everyone to be happy. If there is a way that you can make it happen, you will do it. Like a mama duck, you sometimes have people following behind you and seeking your inspiration. You are very good at leading groups and can often be found teaching unusual topics. Friends know that they can look to you for upcoming trends.

In relationships, you do best with someone who understands your need for freedom.

Best Matches for Aquarius

 Sagittarius shares your love of philosophy, and together, you will go far. Another Aquarius can understand you from the inside out and will bring you peace.

Good Matches for Aquarius

Gemini engages you in many late-night conversations as the two of you want to discuss everything. Aries brings out your adventurous side and gets you moving in many directions.

I love being an aquarius, and so do the people I know that share this month with me. My grandmother and I both give each other such beautiful gifts, our birthdays are two weeks apart. Always celebrating the Aquarius's.

Without coming across condescending or arrogant as I pass on this info to the author of this website which is informative and enthusiastic, I would want my work to be factual and any error to be informed about so I could correct it.. Aquarius, IS in fact known and depicted as the water bearer, a man holding and pouring a pitcher of liquid which lends credence to the fact it is often mistaken as belonging to the house of water... when in fact this is a mis-no merry, Aquarius is actually he cardinal Air sign! My personal theory is that air in and of itself has no properties to exist as an element in the same physicality the other houses are, as it is electricity and psychic energy which the ancients had no tangible evidence as to what this force actually was... it's only in the last 100 or so years humanity has finally harnessed this element and only in its basic former, we still are in the realms of magic effectively when it comes to telepathy and telekinesis or esp... which is an interesting thought... but anyway, Aquarius is air/electric and what element other than water best conducts it???? maybe that's why he is bearing water...

Aquarius is the rain cloud. The word Aqua means water, It is an Air sign so it signifies the cloud. Aqua blue is the color.
