⚡️ If you're ready to learn all about Aquarius, its struggles and superpowers and how you can use it to live your life's purpose, let's dive in.
🧐 Let's get to know Aquarius
♒️ Aquarius is the eleventh sign in the zodiac.
Quality: It is a fixed sign, which means it comes in the middle of a season. Fixed energy is the energy to improve and perfect what's already been initiated. Fixed signs don't like change and have a hard time letting go.
Element: It is an air sign, which means it's mental. Air signs are intellectual, curious and fast-moving.
🥰 Aquarius's supportive expressions: innovative, inspiring, ahead of it's time, friendly, independent, unconventional, authentic, rebellious, humanitarian and free thinker.
🤪 Aquarius's sabotaging expressions: shocking, eccentric, chaotic, disruptive, rebellious, strong + unusual opinions, detached, rigid beliefs, and overly idealistic.
Planetary Ruler: Saturn (traditional) + Uranus (modern)
Fun fact: There are three signs that have both traditional and modern rulers, which are Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces.
Here's why: All of the signs had rulers before Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered.
When these planets where discovered they gave them rulership over signs that already had a ruler.
Planets in Aquarius: Each planet behaves differently in different signs.
Check your chart to see which planets you have in Aquarius ♒️. Then, scroll down to read all about how that planet acts in Aquarius AND how that supports you aligning with your life's purpose.
Also...any aspects to a planet (lines on your chart connecting it with another planet) flavor that planet's expression, so if you feel less Aquarius-like, this may be why.
☉ Sun: The Sun signifies ego, core sense of self and your greatest expression of purpose. It lets you know what you need to feel satisfied + fulfilled in life.
The Sun doesn't like to be in Aquarius. It's at its detriment here. The Sun is self-focused, while Aquarius is group-focused.
With your Sun in Aquarius, you feel like an alien on this planet. You feel like you're on the outside looking in and you don't quite fit in.
That's by design. Your purpose requires you to step back from the crowd and observe. From that place you'll see what is needed for the betterment of humanity.
Be weird and shocking. Share your unusual ideas and beliefs. Inspire others to think and live outside the boxes society has created for them based on ethnicity, country, gender, sexual orientation, level of education, marital status, money and so forth.
☾ Moon: The Moon signifies emotions and intuition. It lets you know what you need to feel safe + secure to do your purpose work out in the world.
With your Moon in Aquarius, your emotions and emotional well-being are strongly tied to being true to who you are and not trying to fit in with others.
Your intuition comes in fast with inspirations to help make the world a better place. Because Aquarius is an air sign, your intuition comes in through your thoughts and with a sudden knowing (even though you have no idea how you could know the thing that just popped into your head).
☿ Mercury: Mercury is the planet of thought and communication.
Mercury loves to be in Aquarius. It's exalted here. Mercury is the mind and Aquarius is the higher mind.
With your Mercury in Aquarius, you're pretty darned smart, innovative and ahead of your time. Your thoughts tend towards how you can help humanity.
When you communicate your weird and wonderful ideas, people find it shocking. Do it anyway. You've got brilliant ideas that others need to hear. It's up to them what they do with them.
♂Mars: Mars is the planet of action, courage and bravery.

♀Venus: Venus is the planet of money, harmony, relationships and beauty.
With your Venus in Aquarius, you need independence in your relationships. Others might not understand the unconventional way you do relationships and that's okay.
