What Aquarius is like
Aquarius is original, friendly and fixed in its views. It cares about people in general and can find one person up close harder. It needs to feel free, and it often feels like an outsider even in a crowd it built.
Aquarius is a fixed air sign, ruled by Saturn and Uranus. Its symbol is the water bearer.
Aquarius in love
In love Aquarius wants a friend first. It shows care through loyalty and honesty, not through drama. It needs space and a partner who does not take that space as rejection.
Aquarius gets on most easily with the other air signs and with the fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The opposite sign, Leo, pulls and pushes at once. A real match depends on whole charts: the Moon, Venus and Mars matter as much as the Sun.
Aquarius at work
At work Aquarius does well in science, technology, activism, community work and anything new. It works best on a team with a shared idea.
