Aquarius
(astrology), the 11th sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the water-carrier.
According to astrologers, people born between January 20 and February 18 are
born under the sun sign of Aquarius. Aquarius, an air sign, is said to be ruled
by the planet Uranus.
Astrologers consider Aquarians to be brilliant, visionary, curious, open-minded,
original, independent, and eccentric. Though emotionally detached, they also
tend to be friendly and social. According to astrologers, Aquarians have a
highly developed sense of social equality and often are attracted to activism or
progressive political organizations.
Like other air signs, Aquarians are said to be less concerned with practical and
physical matters than with intellectual pursuits. They feel most comfortable in
the world of ideas; they find situations that require emotional responses, such
as personal relationships, to be difficult. Astrologers believe that Aquarians
have lightning-fast intuitive insight and can quickly grasp abstract concepts.
Professions associated with Aquarius include inventing, research, social
organizing or activism, astrology, communications, computer sciences, and
electronics. Famous Aquarians include Charles Dickens, Ronald Reagan, Lewis
Carroll, Mia Farrow, Galileo, and James Dean.
