The Water Bearer, a symbol of the Gods providing critical nourishment to the Earth, represents Aquarius, the 11th zodiac sign. Aquarians are mature, self-sufficient, intelligent, extraordinary, and hopeful. Their elemental sign is Air. Aquarians, like air, don’t have a distinct form and seem to defy categorization.

What do Aquarians excel at?
They enjoy putting their thoughts to work and thrive in environments where they can come up with novel ideas, assist others, and stay on the cutting edge of technology. Visionary is one of Aquarius’ best qualities, but it’s also one of their biggest shortcomings.
What exactly is an Aquarius flaw?
An Aquarian’s need to be the center of attention might leave them feeling severely hurt if they are ignored. In an effort to reclaim their attention, their peculiarities may become even more apparent. They almost appear to enjoy the bewilderment they cause with their odd observations at times. Because of their quirkiness, their behavior can occasionally border on the odd, and they relish the shock that comes with expressing them. This can be entertaining at times, but it is not always productive.
What makes Aquarius so unique?
The fact that this fixed sign is born in the middle of winter (January 20 to February 18) contributes to their resilience. Consider them the zodiac’s Sansa Stark, because Aquarius characteristics include being courageous, independent, strong leaders, and, well, extremely badass.
What is the secret of Aquarius?
Aquarius is recognized for being a free and independent thinker who prefers to arrive to their own conclusions rather than relying on what other people say.
They don’t believe in judging a book by its cover and prefer to approach new situations and meet new individuals with an open mind.
Aquarius has an angry side that can surprise people.
It usually takes a lot to make an Aquarius lose their cool, but if you do manage to get on their nerves, you might want to take shelter.
They have a habit of storing things until they reach boiling point, at which time they explode in frustration.
Aquarius aren’t very good liars.
The Aquarius possesses numerous abilities, but one of them is the ability to easily and effectively deceive.
As a result, when confronted with situations in which they are unable to tell the truth, they frequently choose to say nothing at all.
Aquarius lives and breathes the world of music.
Whether it’s playing an instrument or listening to music through headphones, almost every Aquarius has a deep connection to music in some form.
“One nice thing about music,” as Aquarius Bob Marley famously sang, “is that when it hits you, you don’t feel any pain.”
Aquarius have a bad habit of overthinking things waaaay more than they should.
One of the more unfavorable aspects and characteristics of the Aquarius zodiac sign is their proclivity to over-think everything.
They may over-analyze situations to the point where they become extremely upset and concerned, just to discover afterwards that it wasn’t such a huge deal in the first place.
Aquarius stays away from inflated egos and overbearing personalities.
They won’t be impressed if you’re all’me, me, me’ and not genuinely listening to what the Aquarius has to say.
If you don’t respect their boundaries or attempt to make everything about you, they’ll probably tell you to take a hike and turn around.
Aquarius can be wickedly sarcastic.
Those born under the sign of Aquarius are typically the kings and queens of sarcasm. They don’t even realize they’re doing it half of the time since it comes so effortlessly to them.
When Aquarius is around, those closest to them who ‘get’ their twisted sense of humor often find themselves in fits of laughter.
Aquarius are careful about who they befriend and allow into their world.
When it comes to their closest friends, Aquarius is picky about who they let into their ‘inner circle,’ preferring quality over quantity.
They’d much rather have a few close pals who they know will always have their backs than a slew of uninterested acquaintances.
Aquarius can be quite emotional but they don’t always show it to others.
Aquarius can be emotional at times, but unlike some of the other zodiac signs, they aren’t always outwardly expressive about it.
When their emotions are high, they may withdraw from the world, requiring time to process events in their own way.
When people try to probe and interrogate them when they don’t feel like talking, they can become upset, so it’s sometimes best to just leave them room to process things.
Aquarius is incredibly independent and often prefers to rely on themself.
The Aquarius has strong self-reliance tendencies, and they have a strong drive to go out and make it on their own without relying on charity or handouts from others.
However, they can be so self-reliant that they have a hard time asking for assistance when they need it the most.
Aquarius is frequently misunderstood.
It’s normal for those born under the sign of Aquarius to feel misunderstood and as if others don’t ‘understand’ them.
They may be eccentric in their ways and exhibit their concern in unexpected ways, but that doesn’t imply they don’t care. They simply do things in a different way.
Aquarius embraces change and can be quite unpredictable.
Unpredictability is a common Aquarius characteristic. They become bored with mundane, repetitive routines and despise the idea of doing the same thing every day. They prefer to live with a sense of adventure in their lives.
This feeling of spontaneity keeps their pals on their toes and makes them a lot of fun to be around!
Aquarius have a rebellious side that hates being told what to do or how to think.
When others try to impose their will on Aquarius, insisting that they modify the way they think or act, the rebellious side of the zodiac emerges.
Aquarius’ intense independence drives them to remove themselves from anyone who believes they have influence over their lives.
Aquarius learns from their past mistakes and doesn’t make the same mistake twice.

But, unlike some of the other signs, they will not allow themselves to make the same blunder over and over again.

They’re not only great listeners, but they’re also full of wisdom and sound advise.
Aquarius is a fast learner and a total sponge for knowledge.
The Aquarius is always a student in life’s school, and they have a natural ability to grasp new ideas and concepts quickly.
They have a wide range of interests and are constantly on the lookout for new ideas and ways of thinking.
Aquarius looks for the best in people and they are willing to give someone a second chance.
When someone close to them makes a mistake, the Aquarius intuitively looks for the best in others, and rather than holding on to negative energy, they forgive and give them a second chance.
On the other hand, they can be so quick to forgive that they sometimes give people a second chance who don’t deserve it.
Aquarius has strong opinions and they aren’t afraid to voice them.
Aquarius is always willing to listen to what others have to say, but they aren’t hesitant to express their own views as well.
They often give a lot of consideration to what they think, and they aren’t afraid to defend their values and beliefs.
Aquarius is downright WEIRD at times.
It turns out that the rumors are accurate. Aquarius can be irrational and even bizarre at times, coming up with things that leave others perplexed.
Some may wonder if they are from another planet, but their friends adore them for their peculiarities, since who wants to be normal anyway?

There’s no denying it. The Aquarius has the ability to dream big, and they have the talents to make those ambitions come true.
They have the intelligence and ingenuity to devise a strategy and the perseverance to see it through.
Are Aquarians oddballs?
Is there someone in your life with whom you’re completely enamored, but you’re not sure whether they even recognize you? That individual is most likely an Aquarius. They’re complex, crystalline, enigmatic, all-knowing, occasionally oblivious, prophetic weirdos, and the fact that they’re veiled in mystery simply adds to the delight of delving into their minds. Also, an Aquarius is constantly hungry. But that’s something we’ll talk about later.
Aquarius has always been the most perplexing of the zodiac signs for me. And I don’t believe I’m the only one that feels this way. Perhaps this is why I adore Aquarius so much. There’s something about them, something inherent in their very essence, that if you’re not an Aquarius and you think about this paradox too hard, your head will whirl around, twist off your body, and sail out into space. And if an Aquarius watched that happen, saw your head fly out into the distance, an Aquarius would simply track the trajectory of your flying head, grin calmly, and then walk away since they have other things on their minds. They’re always preoccupied with something else.
But let’s return to their dichotomous nature for a moment. Not only is Aquarius the only sign ruled by two planets (Saturn and Uranus), but it’s also an air sign (which makes sense because Aquarians are always thinking, thinking, thinking), yet it’s personified by a Water-bearer, a twin set of waves, which speaks to the enormous emotional depth and overabundance of feelings that Aquarians carry with them everywhere. Air and water, intellect and emotion, thought and feeling, on the other hand, are not natural companions; in fact, they clash. However, rather than causing strife and confusion, an Aquarius is capable of carrying all of this within them and using it to, well, see into the future. Whereas most people would be overwhelmed by the weight of the world, of knowing everything there is to know (a Pisces would be unable to handle it at all; a Cancer would be reduced to tears), an Aquarius takes all of that knowledge and looks ahead to the days ahead, figuring out how to navigate them. (Okay, an Aquarius may be moved to tears at times, but then they taste the salt on their lips and become distracted, if not a little turned on, since an Aquarius is a strange, freaky freak.)
All of these inconsistencies, all of this mysticism, all of this… weirdness, all of it makes Aquarians appear strange. They are, after all, legitimately strange! They frequently say things that make others uncomfortable, but this is because the truth makes people uncomfortable. An Aquarius enjoys making others squirm. But they can’t help but know a lot of stuff and aren’t scared to share what they know with you. An Aquarius is a truth seeker who considers himself an authority on the subject. After all, only an Aquarius could have copyrighted the phrase “What I Know for Sure” (hello, Oprah), because only an Aquarius knows everything. The rest of us (Gemini, Capricorn) may believe we do at times, but only an Aquarius truly does. This is why having an Aquarius as a friend is so beneficial. Nobody can give better counsel than you. Nobody will be able to tell you when you’re lying than you. Nobody will be more willing or capable of assisting you in manifesting the future you desire since they have already seen it unfold, because they are prophets.
Despite this, Aquarius can appear to be disorganized. They are frequently late for events. They don’t want to sleep, and sunrise is more of a hint that the night is about to get better for them than a sign of the morning. Internal clocks just do not exist for them. However, this does not imply that they are not accomplishing their goals. The most frightening aspect of an Aquarius is how much they accomplish. Even if the work they’re doing happens while you’re sleeping, an Aquarius is highly productive. In comparison to an Aquarius, we are all always napping.
Here’s a list of several well-known Aquarians, and don’t tell me that none one them hasn’t accomplished more in a single day than you have in your whole life: Oprah Winfrey is a television personality. Toni Morrison is a novelist. Abraham Lincoln was a president of the United States. Angela Davis is a well-known actress. Dr. Dre is a rapper from the United States. Lorde, Audre. Thomas Edison is a famous inventor. Kerry Washington is the president of the United States of America. Judy Blume is a well-known author. Alicia Keys is an American singer-songwriter. Harry Styles is a British singer. Ellen DeGeneres is an American talk show host. Ed Sheeran is a British singer-songwriter.
All of those people have accomplished a great deal. The majority of stuff is excellent! And, look, you can’t deny that an Aquarius is doing things you don’t like (see: Sheeran), but you can’t deny that they’re getting things done. And that they are incredibly skilled at predicting what other people would enjoy. An Aquarius is frequently quite popular (see Sheeran) because they have a good sense of what others will appreciate in the future.
What, on the other hand, does an Aquarius enjoy? This is the genuine query! We all admire Aquarius and are frequently captivated with them, but what do they enjoy? The truth is that it’s difficult to say! Is it true that Oprah’s “favorite things” list, which she releases every year, are indeed the items that bring her joy in the long run? No! Obviously not. Because the list changes every year. As a quirky prophet, they realize that everything is ephemeral, thus no Aquarius lays genuine value on anything material. This is why an Aquarius will advise you to get a tattoo with no meaning since assuming that meaning can ever reach anything approximating permanence is a load of nonsense. An Aquarius, on the other hand, will have tattoos that scream SYMBOLISM!! If you tell an Aquarius that, they will stare you down and vow that whatever meaning you find is all in your imagination. Isn’t that the idea, though? You’ll ponder and perhaps even scream. An Aquarius, on the other hand, will just tell you that there is no point to anything before taking a long pull on their e-cigarette and dashing and sliding down a snowy street with abandon. You would have toppled if you tried to leave like that. An Aquarius will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
So, what does an Aquarius like to do? Are you starting to wonder if Aquarians are just a bunch of cerebral mystics who don’t enjoy anything sensual? Stop inquiring about it! Because it isn’t the case. In fact, Aquarians are consummate sensualists who enjoy experiencing a variety of sensations at once. But what does an Aquarius enjoy the most? I believe I’ve worked it out. An Aquarius enjoys eating. I can tell you one thing for sure: an Aquarius is constantly hungry.
I’m currently thinking about two distinct Aquariuses I’ve met. In addition, I’m thinking about chicken. Before the doom, one Aquarius and I had a doomed love tale (“doomed love,” how redundant! ), but before the doom, he told me about going home one night and being so angry by my absence in his home that he ate a whole chicken. With his hands, no less! He was also a vegetarian. The other Aquarius and I have a Google doc where we keep track of where we want to eat chicken. What is the link between these two events? It’s both chicken and it’s not. Of course, what it truly is is hunger. An Aquarius is always hungry, and food can sometimes satisfy that desire; other times, food is merely a stopgap measure, and still other times, an Aquarius has a hunger that can consume the entire planet.
This appetite is what keeps an Aquarius on the move. It is because of this hunger that an Aquarius would be a shark if they were an animal. An Aquarius would be a Venus flytrap if they were a flower. An Aquarius would be a vampire if they were a monster. They’d be white if they were a color, because they’d be consuming every other color in the universe. They’d be a studded collar if they were a piece of jewelry, because they’d be attempting to contain everything that was inside of them, and they’d want to remind you they were a little bit dangerous.
An Aquarius, on the other hand, is a lot more dangerous, because the truth is always dangerous, weird, and exciting, just like an Aquarius, who does things all the time that would make you scared if you were them (like that time I saw Styles stage-dive into a crowd of teenage girls who didn’t have enough upper-body strength to keep him aloft), but that don’t make them scared because they just know they’ll be fine. As you start to descend a slope, an Aquarius will ride you around on their bike’s handlebars, encouraging you to lift your arms up with them. It doesn’t matter if it’s pouring or if the road is slick and slippery; just raise your arms with them. You know everything will be fine if an Aquarius tells you to do something. An Aquarius has a lot of knowledge. You can rely on them.
