Aquarius Sign And Symbol
Before we get started just a quick note about the illustrations. A picture of the sign can be found at the top of this page which represents the water carrier. Before the age of pipelines there were people that carried water from it’s source all the way to villages. One of them, a Greek hero called Ganymede, was chosen to be the actual representation of this sign.
The symbol of Aquarius is totally different as shown in the picture below. It’s a simple way to refer to the water bearer and illustrated by two waves. You often come across these symbols when searching for astrology products like necklaces, bracelets or earrings.
Aquarius Traits
To make it as easy as possible we give you a clear overview of all the traits you should know about. It will only take a couple of minutes and who knows you’ll be able to spot the Aquarius in daily life.
Intelligent Thinkers
One of the most important traits you’ll find amongst them is their ability to think things through. They are often very intelligent and capable of using their original brain. Solving a problem makes them feel comfortable because they can use their imagination to do so. Challenges and thrilling missions keeps their spirits high. Their deep thoughts also allow for a forward-looking mind which helps them to succeed in the future.
Free Spirit
Freedom to let their imagination speak and act accordingly is not uncommon for an Aquarius. Chances are that some people think of them as being odd, a hippie or even a freak. They are not afraid to “go against the flow” if that’s how they feel at the time being. “Everyone should be able to express themselves and don’t judge too fast”. “We’re all part if this world and we should respect one another”. With this being said, you can find them wearing appealing clothes or drive around in a self-painted Volkswagen van.
Team Players
The water carriers enjoy good company. Hanging out with friends or working on a group project absolutely brings them to life. When the situation requires a little imagination and creativity it’s a blessing to have them in your team. Great results can be achieved if you give them some room to express their skills. Another thing they enjoy is to assist and support other people. They’ll try their best to help you out because teamwork goes a long way.
Wellbeing Of Others
A happy and successful life is something an Aquarius wishes for everyone. They embrace the world and the opportunity to be alive. There’s so much to learn and so much to teach. Do you know that song by Michael Jackson “Heal the world, make it a better place”? Well, that’s how they feel. Everyone deserves to be happy and if they can contribute to that they’ll do their very best. You could find them volunteering for a good cause.
Sensitivity
Even though they don’t necessarily show it, they are pretty sensitive by heart. When you first meet an Aquarius it’s very likely that they’ll seem cold or distant, even though you’ve heard many stories about their rebellious adventures. That’s because they need time to trust someone and determine whether or not you have an intellectual bond. Sensitivity especially comes to life when you betray them or don’t keep a promise. It hurts them a lot and takes them back to the distant behavior we talked about before.
Temperament
Figuring them out can be a hard job since they can show both energetic and silent moments. It could happen that they are too busy focussing on themselves that they forget about the people that love them the most. On the other hand they can be extremely helpful and talkative with conversations that last for hours. One moment they could be in a party mode whilst later on they decide to pull back and just be alone. Give them the space they need because they have a good heart in the end.
Relationships
Before committing to a relationship an Aquarius usually takes it’s time. For them it’s necessary to feel a strong mental bond towards a partner. Besides that they need to be sure there is room for their free spirited mind and lifestyle. Once this phase has passed you will have a partner who will love you deeply. Be prepared for some exciting moments and surprises as the Aquarians aren’t exactly predictable. This combination of true love and entertainment can result in extreme devotion for one another.
Compatibility
Even though opinions differ on this topic we can make an overall conclusion. Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius are considered the top 3 matches within the world of astrology. Aries and Aquarius take second place. Some consider Leo to be a good match as well, especially when it comes to romance. Just keep in mind that everyone could be a good fit and there should be nothing holding you back when it comes to someone you love deeply.
