Aquarius is the eleventh astrological sign of the zodiac wheel. Who has never heard of the originality and creativity of this colorful sign? In astrological circles, we often consider Aquarius as the black sheep who refuses the rules and lives a little in his ideal and utopian world. It is a sign that reveals many qualities but also small defects which make it quite complex, interesting and difficult to understand at the same time. In this article, we therefore present Aquarius and its general characteristics as well as its relationship with others and work.
General overview of the Aquarius zodiac sign
Aquarius people are born between January 21 and February 19. They are part of the air element, like Gemini and Libra, representing communication, curiosity, intelligence, and spirit. It is also sometimes said that air signs tend to be superficial and use their reason more than their emotions. The ruling planet of the Aquarius zodiac sign is Uranus. It acts against the monotony of life, arrives unexpectedly, and gives us a boost to move forward with new projects.
This planet allows us, for example, to find new ideas, but also to accept ourselves fully. This completely corresponds to the particularity of Aquarius: creative, optimistic and self-confident. The color associated with this air sign is dark blue, a symbol of travel, introspection, community, harmony and trust.
Characteristics of the astrological sign Aquarius
Aquarius is a very intelligent air sign with a touch of idealism and optimism, both linked to its ruling planet Uranus. Of an independent, free and elusive nature, this does not prevent him from loving to be of service and being generous, friendly, kind and open-minded. However, his independent side can make him seem quite distant, confusing and unpredictable to others.
Despite good values on friendship, he can sometimes reveal a negative facet of his air element. In this case, he often appears ruthless, cynical, with a tendency to prioritize reason rather than feelings.
The way of thinking of the Aquarius sign, sometimes described as marginal, makes it a creative, innovative, surprising and original sign. He is teeming with ideas and is sometimes even avant-garde, ahead of his time. The natives of this air sign hate having to follow a pre-established path and thus prefer to think outside the box to assert themselves 100%.
Aquarius and its relationship to family and love
The Aquarius zodiac sign deeply loves his family, but his need for independence can in certain cases push him to move away from them a little to regain his freedom. He doesn't like to justify himself to those close to him and hates being told what he should do, how he should act towards them. This is why some people of the Aquarius sign tend to create a family of heart through their different friendships, without constraints or filial laws to respect. We can consider him a bit like the “rebel” of the family, loving freedom and ideals, often misunderstood by those around him.
Love is often a complicated concept for Aquarius. On the one hand, his need for freedom and space in his personal life makes it difficult to visualize himself in a relationship. On the other hand, his ruling planet, Uranus, spontaneous and optimistic, often pushes him to have uncontrollable crushes. This means that he must juggle between his desire for independence and his desire for a relationship. In some cases, Aquarius people can therefore seem quite distant and cold with their partner. This, especially since they are very little driven by their emotions, unlike the water signs.
Fortunately, kindness, humor, original character and original ideas can allow the Aquarius zodiac sign to manage a couple relationship. However, this air sign is restless and constantly thinking about new things, so he can't stand routine! He then needs a partner on the same wavelength as him, who likes renewal, adventure and spice in a romantic relationship.
Aquarius and its value of work and money
Due to its changeable and independent nature, the astrological sign Aquarius has difficulty staying still when it comes to work. He often cannot stand monotony, established rules and environments that are too calm and boring. He needs a challenge, to enjoy a field that allows him to put his creativity, his intelligence, his idealistic vision and his originality to good use.
Moreover, professional projects can be difficult for him to carry out because they are too defined. Aquarius likes to be able to bring a fresh wind, add a very personal touch to what he does with a surprising and optimistic energy. Artistic and innovative professions are therefore particularly recommended for this air sign which is teeming with creative ideas of all kinds!
Aquarius, despite the fact that he is not focused on materiality (a distinctive sign of his air element), knows how to manage his finances well. He therefore pays attention to his spending and saves as he goes to avoid crisis situations. However, this does not prevent this sign from using their money for their passions and their creativity, but also to please those close to them.
