In the field of astrology, Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac.  Named after the constellation of the same name, Aquarius represents the 11th part in terms of the Sun’s position in a celestial pattern over a one year period.  These parts are also referred to as signs with Aquarius representing the 11th sign.  The part of Aquarius occupies the period between January 20 up to around February 19 of each year. This sign is also referred to as the “water-bearer” owing to the constellation that resembles a man that seems to be holding a water pot.  Under astrology, each of the 12 zodiac signs including Aquarius, also represent certain traits and characteristics that are common to people born under the specific period.

People under the Aquarius sign are said to be bright, witty, and clever.  Many of them have the skills to become great inventors because of their unique behavior and characteristics.  Aquarians are also considered to be original and idealistic in terms of their beliefs, talents and abilities.  The only problem with these traits is that people under this sign may get hard-headed or be stubborn in terms of their ideals and principles.  It is quite common for Aquarians to get into arguments with other people because of their beliefs and ideals.  With a tendency to be stubborn, some Aquarians may be branded as aloof or even rebellious.  People under this sign are typically clever and inventive enough to do things on their own that other people may mistake them as being too idealistic or sometimes sarcastic.  Best of all, Aquarians are also known to have a soft spot for people in need.  Many people born with the Aquarius sign are active in charitable and humanitarian projects.

The specific personality traits of those under the Aquarius sign are said to be due to the sign’s ruling planets which are Saturn and Uranus.  The influence from Saturn is what makes Aquarians good and smart in terms of completing tasks. The Uranus influence is responsible for making Aquarians very radical and rebellious in nature.
