Aquarius Traits & Personality

Aquarius is symbolized by the water bearer. But don’t let it confuse you. This is not a water sign. This is the final air sign of the zodiac. They are focused on solving higher-level problems and ideas in life. Aquarius is the sign of friendships and belonging to social groups. They might not be as interested in romantic relationships like Libra, or lower-level celebrity gossip, like Gemini. They’re here to make societal changes.

To bear water means to bear positive emotions and share them with the world. This sign cares deeply about making a positive impact in the world and taking care of those who are less fortunate.

Ruled by Uranus and Saturn, Aquarius is a rebel at heart and can really take on an unorthodox, revolutionary approach to what they do in life. Aquarius has the reputation of being cold and aloof because they are here to work on “higher” transpersonal issues that deal with society, large groups, and organizations.

Aquarius Destiny & Soul Purpose

The Aquarius is here to serve and uplift humanity and to live out the Promethean mythos, bringing the proverbial fire (light, awareness, power) to mankind. Think of Nicola Tesla (albeit a Cancer, not an Aquarius). They are here to work in fields related to technology, humanitarian efforts, non-profits, and various large-scale social causes that work to make life easier for people.

Aquarius is a deeply karmic sign. It represents the highest understanding of the lower mind (Gemini’s natural 9th house), and the creative outpouring that comes from balancing our needs with other people’s needs (Libra’s 5th house).

Finances of an Aquarius

Finances are typically approached in a creative, intuitive way. The natural water signs of the zodiac govern the “earth” houses of any Aquarius-born native.

These financial houses show how Aquarius relates to their material world:

  • 2nd House of Finances in Pisces: core values are compassion for the collective, making money through sharing their creativity, knowledge/wisdom, etc.
  • 6th House of Work Life in Cancer: your day job needs variety and emotional connectivity.
  • 10th House of Career in Scorpio: intense, transformative, driven to make changes, emotionally-involved.

Aquarius is really hazy and foggy when it comes to managing the nitty-gritty details of their finances.

Where’s the rent check?” Someone asks.

Typical Aquarius Answer: “Oh, I left it over there somewhere – anyway, I’ve got to go save endangered animals and form a political party to revolt against unjust systematic oppression of individual rights… Bye!

FINANCIAL TIPS FOR AQUARIUS: Your finances will dramatically improve when you nourish the underprivileged in some way by granting more abundance and living through the heart chakra.

Finances will worsen as you selfishly spend money on indulgences that you engage in when you are in private, secluded spaces.

Sun in Aquarius: the core of your soul and spirit must be rebuilt, regenerated, transformed

Moon in Aquarius: the mind, psyche, emotional nature, and spirit will be transformed

Uranus & Neptune in Aquarius: Gen-Z will undergo the same level of awakening that Millennials went through during the transit of Pluto in Capricorn, from 2008 – 2024.

What is Aquarius Like in Love & Relationships? 

When it comes to sweep-you-off-your-feet romance, that’s not Aquarius. They are more interested in ideas. This is why you have to connect with them intellectually before anything else. Aquarius is an air sign, which is all about the mind and intellect. 

They make amazing friends, however. Aquarius rules over friendships and belonging to groups or organizations. It is about the collective and what the collective does to change the world, so to speak.
