Aquarius - The Humanitarian
Aquarius is the revolutionary Sign of the Zodiac. The engine for freedom, independence and the awakening of collective conscience. Aquarius people need a cause to pursue or they may become rebellious and disinterested, just because they do.
The need to question everything, to circumvent conventions all the time, can be tiring and inconvenient. This problem is aggravated when they are overly direct, which can cause a more emotional reaction in more sensitive people.
Aquarius in Mythology
The Greek myth associated with Aquarius is the story of Ganymede, a handsome young prince of Troy. One day, while Ganymede was taking care of his father's flocks, he was spotted by Zeus who was bewitched by his virility and great beauty. Turning himself into an eagle, he kidnapped the boy and took him to Mount Olympus, turning him into his servant and lover.
Ganymede was the cupbearer of the gods, serving them drinks when asked. One day, Ganymede was revolted by his situation as a slave and Zeus, instead of punishing him, decided to grant him immortality and place him in the stars as the constellation of Aquarius.
The water carrier, symbol of Aquarius, reminds us that sometimes chaos and rebellion are necessary when fighting for equality and freedom.
Positive Energies of the Aquarius Sign
The Aquarians, in a favorable way, are charming, supportive, kind and compassionate. Aquarius is smart, insightful, and logical. As a rule, they don't care about what others think.
They are confident and trustworthy people. They are exactly what they show to be. Nothing is faked. Excellent listeners, they are genuinely interested in the issues of others and seek to help with insightful and clear advice. Aquarius only sees people and considers them all the same. They love to gather groups of friends (which they have in abundance) and spend long hours talking about ideals and sharing experiences.
They have the ability to think outside the box. Thinking about creative solutions and seeing old problems from new perspectives. Their great capacity and intellectual agility lead them to be involved in several activities simultaneously and to develop multiple interests. They are the "glue" of the Zodiac. The element that connects various people and ideas.

Negative Energies of the Aquarius Sign
Aquarius has a pretty random personality. This means that it can either be extremely accessible or, right away, show a certain disinterest in the person in front of you. In unfavorable mode, they may have little tolerance for emotions, which cultivates their reputation for being offensive, distant, apathetic, and unfriendly.
This sign can be one of the most controlling of the Zodiac, more so than Scorpio and Virgo. The Aquarius native can convince itself that he knows what's best for everyone (and sometimes he does). However, if they decide not to go their way, it's best to walk away.
Aquarius, in unfavorable mode, is cold, distant, and stubborn. Remarkably logical, they relegate emotions to the background. They question and analyze everything, from behaviors to situations. They hate having to be accountable to anyone and they copiously defend their privacy. This makes people feel that they are invading the Aquarian's private sphere or being in some way indiscreet, which doesn't make anyone comfortable.
As a rule, Aquarians don't like shallow people. They don't waste time in meaningless relationships. At their worst, they become elitists, convinced that their opinions are more valid than all others. It is typical to meet a lot of people but have few friends.
Disharmonic Potential
Arrogant, controlling, aloof, suspicious, defensive, domineering, extreme, elitist, egocentric, emotionally complex, ruthless, intolerant, impatient, unpredictable, changeable, minute, touchy, provocative, radical, rebellious, resentful, stubborn.

- Take other people's emotions into account.
- Try to be a little more patient when you have to be accountable to third parties.
- Review facts carefully before making a decision. Your stubbornness can make it difficult for you to go back.

The Aquarius Sign in Love
In love, the natives of Aquarius are splendid, exciting, and committed companions, contributing a lot of fun to the relationship. The priority is to be good friends with their partners. The natives of this sign are constantly looking for new and interesting connections with various people, in order to be considered promiscuous and rebellious.
On its downside, Aquarius lacks the willpower to set out to conquer and has a difficult time committing. For the natives of this sign, any form of commitment is a hidden plan to corner them and limit their independence.
The Child of the Aquarius Sign
The Aquarius child is pure energy in motion. All of it is made up of ideas, inventions, and discoveries. Obstinate and independent, they soon discover their passions and start projects. Time is short for so much that is happening and the Aquarius child likes to be at the forefront.
There is never a standard rule for Aquarians. This means that they will never know exactly how they are going to react or what they are prepared to do next. Your child loves discovering mysteries and getting involved in many things at the same time. The energy never seems to run out and, as long as they're excited, they're unstoppable.

Your Sun sign is the sign of the Zodiac (Aries, Taurus, etc.) in which the Sun was at the time you were born. The start and end dates for the 12 signs are approximate, as the day of the month when the Sun enters the various signs can change from year to year. On the other hand, it is impossible to pretend that everyone who is born on the same date has the same personality, thinks alike, or has similar relationships and experiences. The star sign is a clue to unveil the nature and the most relevant traits of the personality, while being generic and partial. Only your birth chart will allow you to obtain individualized information about your way of being and potential for development.
