Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the Western zodiac and has several mythical associations. In ancient Egypt, the god Hapi watered the earth from two jars. In Babylon, Aquarius was associated with Gu-La, goddess of birth and healing. Aquarius is a Fixed, Air, Masculine sign ruled by Saturn. Those born with the Sun in Aquarius are characterized as being unconventional, independent and humane.
Fixed signs are associated with resistance to change. They are stable, strong and enduring, with the ability to see things through to the end. Air signs imply intellectual capacity and communicative abilities. They seek enlightenment and the answers to deep questions. Mostly serious of mind, yet kind of heart. The Masculine association is one of directness and outgoing, extroverted behavior. Apparently confident, although appearances can be deceiving.
Interpretation of the natal chart can be thought of in terms of three major facets of the individual. How you appear to others, your innermost desires and aspirations, and what you are really like. The characteristics associated with your Sun sign, Aquarius, are not absolutes and should be seen only as likely dispositions.
It is likely that you will hear the statement, "I just can't figure you out", many times in your life. The need for personal independence is so strong in the Aquarian nature that you will rarely let others glimpse the inner being. At best, you are caring to others, original and inventive. You can be intellectual, idealistic and very loyal to your friends and partners. At worst, you are rebellious, argumentative and unpredictable. Aquarians can be unconventional to the point of eccentricity. Aquarians are kind and friendly in general, readily able to empathize with others, but always a little distant and detached. As it is difficult to really know what Aquarius is feeling, it is common for you to be a source of frustration to more earthy and practical souls. Aquarius is also known to be involved in many causes throughout life. A strong belief in their attitudes and opinions makes it difficult to persuade an Aquarian to a contrary point of view. Not overly concerned with the opinions of others, you are quietly self-assured. The analytical approach that Aquarius uses to solve problems provides the ability to see through emotion to the real issues.
In career terms, you are happiest when not strictly supervised. A bent to the scientific professions, where originality and inventiveness are encouraged, are very suitable for Aquarius. Many of the eleventh sign are good writers.
The emotional partner of Aquarius should be tolerant of the need for a lot of personal space, and not give an impression of possessiveness. Aquarians are very good at living by themselves.
The Aquarian parent tends to bossiness and fostering independence in the child. While communications will always be good, there may be an emotional barrier that will never be overcome. The Aquarian child is likely to be clever and somewhat erratic. Inventiveness and problem-solving abilities should be encouraged from an early age.
