What is Aquarius?
The datum: Aquarius is an air sign, fixed in modality, traditionally ruled by Saturn (in modern astrology, also by Uranus). Here's why — fixed, it sustains the idea Libra opened in the air element; air rules thought and social bonds; Saturn adds its own structure and Uranus adds a break from convention. Example: someone with strong Aquarius usually defends their own way of doing things, even when it's the least popular one in the room.
Its strength
At your best your different way of seeing things oxygenates the whole group: at work you bring the idea no one else would have proposed, and in love your way of caring, unconventional as it is, is exactly your gift.
Its challenge
When detachment turns into distance, you pull away right when someone needs you close — with family or a partner. Letting your heart be touched, even when it clashes with your independence, is your practice this week.
Signs it flows with
These signs form sextiles or trines with this Sun sign. It is a starting affinity, not a verdict on a relationship.
