Aquarius
Aquarius is one of the three air signs. This page gathers everything SignWheel has written about Aquarius so far.
A longer portrait of the sign is still being written. Rather than pad this page, here are the finished pieces: the Sun, Moon and rising readings for Aquarius, exactly as they appear inside a chart result, and a doorway to every planet in Aquarius.
Sun in Aquarius
Your core character and where your energy comes from.
An Aquarius Sun often points to someone who feels most alive among ideas and people who think for themselves. You tend to gain energy from friends who respect your independence, from causes you care about, and from working out a better way to do things. Being pushed to fit in can drain you. You may enjoy being a little unusual, and you often think about how groups and communities could work more fairly. Time alone to think tends to help you return to people with fresh energy.
Moon in Aquarius
Your feelings and what settles you.
An Aquarius Moon often means you settle by stepping back and thinking things through. You may need friendly company without too much emotional pressure, plus space to be yourself. Talking about ideas, joining a group you believe in, or helping with a shared cause can lift your mood. Crowded feelings and demands to react right away tend to unsettle you. A little distance, fresh air, and time with people who accept your quirks often help you feel calm and like yourself again.
Rising in Aquarius
The face you show first, before people know you.
With Aquarius rising, people often notice something distinct about you right away. It might be your style, your unusual take on a topic, or your friendly but independent manner. You tend to come across as open minded and fair, happy to talk to anyone, yet not quite belonging to any one group. Strangers may see you as the person with a fresh idea or a different angle. Closer up, friends learn that your loyalty runs steady, even if your ways stay your own.
