Aquarius: characteristics of the zodiac sign

The zodiac constellation Aquarius is one of the oldest documented constellations. For the first time, the Greek astronomer Ptolemy wrote about him in the XNUMXnd century. Translated from Latin, Aquarius means “water carrier”, which is why it is depicted in illustrations for astrological forecasts in the form of a man pouring water from a jug.

The time of Aquarius is coming to the very end of the astrological year – between Capricorn and Pisces. In pictographic writing, the sign of the zodiac is depicted in the form of two wavy lines, which symbolize the snakes of wisdom. At first glance, Aquarius is one of the most fun and carefree zodiac signs. But those to whom Aquarius has opened his soul know how deep, purposeful and freedom-loving nature it is. Together with astrologers Julia Amagi и Elena Naumova We will tell you more about this zodiac sign. 

General characteristics of the sign Aquarius

– Aquarius can be imagined as a kind of progressive sage of the horoscope. And this is no coincidence, because he is one of the final signs of the zodiac, located in the zone of the Teacher, who has absorbed all the collective experience and has access to more complex energies. Therefore, among Aquarians there are many mentors, innovators and inventors in a global sense. And in world legends, Aquarius is mentioned as one of the creators of the world of people, the creator of the system. It is no coincidence that he corresponds to the archetype of Jung the Ruler, whose key features are specificity, systematization, management, – notes astrologer Yulia Amagi.

Aquarius Character

The main definition that fits the character of Aquarius is a realist who strives to change the world for the better. Most of all, Aquarius loves two things – to study, gain new knowledge and skills, and travel. Creative energy, brilliant thoughts, plans and ideas are always seething in it. At the same time, Aquarius will never stop halfway to the intended goal and will always go to the bitter end. People of this sign of the zodiac do not hope for “maybe”, they always soberly assess the situation, and when faced with a problem, they think well about ways to solve it. It is also worth noting that Aquarius does not tolerate routine. An original view of the world and love for experiments makes Aquarius an interesting conversationalist, and a cheerful and sociable character – the soul of the company. He easily makes new acquaintances, conquering with his openness, ease and bold judgments.

And Aquarius is a benevolent and hospitable host. The more guests in his house, the better, no one will be deprived of attention. Gender, social status, hobbies do not matter, Aquarians will be able to find a common language with everyone, even if they are superior to the interlocutor intellectually.

Strengths and weaknesses of Aquarius

If we talk about the strengths of Aquarius, then, first of all, this is his determination, the ability to find a way out of any difficult situation, responsibility for himself and his loved ones. Moreover, Aquarians are responsible in everything – at work, in front of the authorities, in front of friends, and most importantly – in front of their families. And Aquarians are quite often excellent parents who know how to find an approach to their children, not limited to boring clichés from parenting books.

But among the weaknesses of Aquarius, one can note some impulsiveness and eccentricity, increased conceit, and sometimes excessive harshness in judgments or ways to achieve one’s goals. Also, some note the rather authoritarian position of Aquarius in the family – they say, if I take responsibility, please be kind enough to comply with my settings. So do not impose your opinion on Aquarius and do not strive to seem wiser and more experienced than he is.

Love and relationships

For the most part, Aquarius is indifferent to ardent passions and love experiences. Aquarians will not be tormented by jealousy and suspicion, tormenting themselves and their partner. During quarrels, you should not expect violent showdowns from them, or even more aggression and cruelty.

When making a choice regarding a life partner, Aquarius is more guided by the mind than by the heart. As a partner, this zodiac sign will always prefer a person who will reckon with his opinion, respect choices and personal boundaries, support in all new endeavors and strive for self-improvement. No less significant is spiritual comfort, which is very important for Aquarius, so he will look for it in a relationship.

Sex

Since Aquarius is an air element, earthly carnal joys do not particularly attract him. It’s more about satisfying interest and craving for something new, so Aquarians will rarely become attached to one partner before marriage. You should not expect passionate passion from him, but if Aquarius saw a kindred spirit in you, then you can expect something more from sex with him than just physical contact.

Family and marriage

Aquarius does not always want to get married, because he is afraid that the family may interfere with his plans and ambitions. On the other hand, representatives of the sign will always prefer stability to new unexplored relationships, and the need for spiritual comfort and intimacy with age turns out to be stronger than the experience of losing their independence.

The ideal marriage for Aquarius is the opportunity to travel the world with the other half, find new hobbies and entertainment, and jointly make plans for the future. But home life, routine activities like dishwashing duties can lead to quarrels and misunderstandings in the family.

Which parents

The birth of a child for Aquarius is an important event for which he has been preparing for many years. That is why most Aquarians become parents already at a relatively mature age. But his endurance, patience, parental wisdom can only be envied. Aquarians treat their parental responsibilities thoughtfully and seriously, rarely letting grandparents and even more so advisers from the outside to educate. That is why they are usually on friendly terms with children, together they find hobbies or ways of unusual family pastime. And Aquarius will never scold their children for bad grades or calls to school.

friendship

Aquarius is one of the most friendly and outgoing zodiac signs. He loves new acquaintances, joint trips with friends on vacation, often gathers friendly companies at home. But he does not have so many true devoted friends. Often Aquarius can be too frank, and somewhere tactless, not tolerating other people’s opinions that are different from their own. Sometimes this position can be repulsive. However, Aquarians can always admit their mistake, apologize and be the first to make contact if they understand that they have gone too far somewhere. And Aquarius will always lend a helping hand to a friend in difficult times, support with practical advice. You should not expect meanness or betrayal from this zodiac sign: despite its ambition, Aquarius will never go over their heads in order to achieve their goals.

Hobbies and hobbies

Thanks to its craving for everything new, Aquarius can rightfully be called the most versatile sign of the zodiac with a variety of talents. From early childhood, he is fascinated by music, dancing, drawing – and in each of the hobbies, Aquarius achieves certain success. Often in adolescence, Aquarians are fond of sports – swimming, gymnastics, athletics and martial arts. Having matured, Aquarians are happy to travel, learn foreign languages, culture, life and customs of other peoples.

Career and profession

– Many Aquarius find themselves in design, programming, science, politics, TV and media, charity. Often, representatives of this zodiac sign discover new styles in art. Aquarians have an innate ability to rally people around them, especially with an idea. In routine work, where there is no creative vein and the opportunity to express themselves, Aquarians wither away. Remote work and collective projects are also suitable for them,” notes astrologer Yuliya Amagi.

Health

Aquarius does not belong to the signs of the zodiac, which can boast of good health and excellent immunity. Their weak points are the bones and muscles of the lower extremities (calves, ankles), wrists, as well as the digestive system and eyes. Among the diseases that are often found in Aquarians, one can note anemia, varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, cramps in the calf muscles, a tendency to sprains and fractures, cataracts, and a rapid deterioration in vision with age.

Compatibility

If we talk about compatibility, then in love and marriage, Aquarians usually look not for an object of desire, but for a soul mate. A person who will understand and appreciate his bold ideas and impulses, at the same time will support him in everything, without claiming primacy in relationships. Aquarius will have the most harmonious relationship in alliance with Aries, Sagittarius and Virgo, who also stand firmly on their feet, think rationally and are not prone to rash acts. But bright explosive Lions or Gemini, with their uncertainty and variability, are unlikely to suit Aquarius as partners.

Aquarius man

The Aquarius man is very attached to his loved ones, but he tries to keep strangers away from him. Usually, representatives of this sign prefer to spend more time alone with themselves and their thoughts than in a noisy company. Sometimes an Aquarius man may seem soft and too good-natured, but this is not at all the case. In relationships with loved ones, he knows how to defend his point of view. Courage, openness, straightforwardness and honesty are the main characteristics of Aquarius men. Often representatives of the male half of Aquarius manifest themselves in politics, science, art and the fashion world.

Aquarius woman

At first glance, the Aquarius woman can be completely ordinary and nondescript, but at the same time she will always be in the center of attention of all men. And all thanks to his charm, charm and ability to win over any interlocutor. Men appreciate her for her bright and sharp mind and lightness, but they are often mistaken that they can win her heart without any problems. The Aquarius woman will listen to your compliments with a smile, but this is just a way to pass the time. Some representatives of this sign like to stand out in the crowd – they wear bright eccentric outfits, hairstyles and makeup, and the very next day they will look like real prudes. Such a striking contrast in appearance and behavior attracts men who find the Aquarius woman mysterious and seductive.

Aquarius Child

As the astrologer, esoteric Julia Amagi notes, often Aquarians have to grow up early. Their childhood may not be as cozy and “candy” as other children, which leaves an imprint on later life.

– Little Aquarius can be a black sheep in a team, experience betrayal, difficult relationships with peers, brothers and sisters, injustice, alienation. Therefore, in life for Aquarius, the topic of making friends and like-minded people is very important and painful. The opportunity to have freedom, the right to choose and defend their independence. The opportunity to be a pioneer, to do things your own way, to push the boundaries. At best, such a child begins to reveal his spontaneity and talents from childhood, – our expert notes.

Astrologer’s commentary on Aquarius

– Aquarius is the penultimate sign of the zodiac in the general circle. This is reflected in his ability to understand many people, build friendships. Aquarius belongs to the type of people who first of all find a friend, and only then meet love, because for him these concepts can be replaced, or from friendship to love is just one step.

Quite often, Aquarius is perceived as a revolutionary. The fact is that not every person can understand his extraordinary approach and unwillingness to obey the established rules. Aquarius have their own view of life, their own laws, so if they destroy the old, then only in order to build a new future, – says astrologer Elena Naumova.

– Representatives of this zodiac sign are often spoken of as freedom-loving. Yes, Aquarians love freedom, but freedom for them does not equal chaos. Rather, freedom is like a system of life, like a kind of space where no one violates their boundaries, where you can maintain a sense of support.

This is the eternal struggle of two polarities and an attempt to find a balance between rebellion and stability, collectivism and introversion, control and freedom.

The special abilities of Aquarius are the ability to build and create systems from scratch, predict trends in the world, set fashion, trends, invent something new and bring fresh breath into what is already there. In an attempt to defend themselves or prove something to someone, Aquarians can go into indifference, inconstancy, freaking. At best, they become the creators of brilliant ideas, promote justice, humanism, and progress in the world,” adds the esoteric Yuliya Amagi.
