Everyone thinks they know what an Aquarius is like. They think it’s a sign of boundless imagination, wild ideas, and the desire to change the world for the better. And those people aren’t wrong…they’re just missing some key parts of the Aquarian personality. In this post, we’ll look at what makes up the personality traits of people born under this dynamic sign in detail so you can get to know them better. Including what it’s like to have an Aquarius as a friend, lover, and employee or colleague.
Aquarius: The Element, Ruling Planet, and Key Characteristics
The water bearer represents Aquarius, but it is not a Water sign as most people assume. Aquarius is actually an air sign. The air element represents thought, communication, inspiration, exploration, and learning. Aquarius is one of three zodiac signs associated with the air element and therefore typically gravitates to the other two which are Libra and Gemini.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, also known as “the planet of innovation.” It brings some very interesting traits to your personality; for example, it may make you have a great imagination or curiosity about things others don’t seem to care much about.
This can be good and bad because, on the one hand, it means that you’re able to think more creatively than other people, but on the other hand, it might make other people view you as weird or strange sometimes, because they don’t understand what’s going through your mind or where you’ll go next. Sometimes the Aquarius is even called “flighty” or “eccentric”.
As an Aquarius, the best thing to do is to use your imagination in a positive way; for example, as an artist or writer. If you feel something missing in your life and no one understands what that might be, then Uranus will help you find the answer. Look to your creative, innovative side and you’ll never go wrong. And don’t be afraid to wave that freak flag so the others know where to find you!
Aquarius is one of three zodiac signs associated with the air element.
The air element is symbolized by the color yellow, which you’ll see in the Aquarius mascot. The mascot is a personified zodiac sign which, in this case, is an eternally youthful, smiling woman. She is often depicted as floating above earth or water and looks to be in her twenties. In this case, most people with an Aquarius sun sign can be described as “air” types yet they also embody signs of the water element in some situations since they are indeed the “water bearer”.
Aquarius Sign Can Be Stubborn, Knowledgeable, and Great Problem Solvers
Aquarius people are stubborn when they think something’s right; that doesn’t mean they’re pessimistic people, just that once their minds are made up on an issue, it takes a lot to change them. But this stubbornness also has positive effects: Aquarians are loyal friends who stick together through thick and thin; they’re always willing to help others with no strings attached. They believe everyone deserves happiness regardless of social status or personal wealth level.
They’re also likely well-educated due to their curious nature, which makes them seek knowledge wherever possible (even if this means reading articles online). Aquarians are also adventurous people who love going on road trips, camping, and hiking; they’re usually up for anything that allows them to explore new places. They’re also very curious about the world around them and may even have a tendency to get lost in thought (which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it).
They’re also very intelligent and tend to have a lot of knowledge on various topics. They may be interested in science, technology, medicine, history, or any other subject that captures their interest. Aquarians are adept at problem-solving and come up with creative solutions when faced with challenges.
Air signs, like Aquarius, tend to be more flexible and changeable in nature.
Air signs are also “mental” signs because they like to keep their options open and be on the cutting edge. They are quick-thinkers, making them more likely to jump on board with new trends, but it can also lead them to jump off board when they get bored of something.
When communicating with other people, air signs always think about what’s happening in the world around them. You’ll often find your Aquarius friends talking about politics or current events at dinner parties (and sometimes loudly). This sign enjoys talking about ideas from work or school. You might find yourself getting pulled into long conversations where they excitedly tell you all about their latest project at work or how excited they are for this weekend’s concert ticket release party.
These signs are also very curious and talkative.
Aquarius people prefer to be dreamers rather than problem solvers or doers. You probably know that humanitarianism is a big part of Aquarians’ personality traits; however, this star sign also has a secret rebel streak underneath its philanthropic side. If you’re an Aquarius: you have an analytical mind that loves to ask lots of questions (and get answers). And although you might seem quiet at first glance, maybe even shy, you’re quite talkative once you get going.
Aquarius enjoys being social but often require time on their own
As an Aquarius, you love being around people. You have a lot of friends and a wide social circle. However, you also require alone time to recharge and rediscover yourself. You’re loyal and friendly, but sometimes you need to go off on your own to reconnect with yourself.
Aquarians are known for being outgoing, friendly people who enjoy talking and participating in social activities. However, this doesn’t mean that they don’t like spending time alone—it’s something they need every once in a while. When this happens (and it does), it makes them feel safe and comfortable because they have their own space where nobody else comes into contact with them unless invited (or forced).
The Water Bearer
This sign is a visionary, a quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) one, who rallies friends and acquaintances to their cause. Aquarians are humanists, humanitarians, and idealists. They are intellectuals, dreamers, and rebels. They represent freedom and independence in your birth chart.
Having an Aquarius Sign Friend
It means you can reach out whenever you need some space because they’ll give it to you without asking any questions. Aquarius is a fixed air sign, meaning they’re usually calm and collected. They’re known to be extremely independent and self-sufficient, so if you need some space or time alone, an Aquarius will give it to you without asking any questions. They are well-known for being good listeners and companions who will be there for you in times of need. They’re also loyal and caring individuals who care deeply about their loved ones.
Aquarius likes things to be fair; they’re not into taking advantage of others or getting ahead of themselves just because they can. Uranus rules Aquarius also means that this sign has a humanitarian side – one who wants to aid their friends whenever possible! This makes them a wonderful friend to a similar sign in Gemini and Libra.
As far as colors go? Electric blue is the color associated with Aquarius (and electric blue is one of those colors I love). Try wearing this color when talking with an Aquarius friend, so they’ll know how much you care about them.
Their symbol may be the water bearer, but make no mistake…
The element of Aquarius is air, which means that this sign’s element influences the way they think and interact with the world. The air symbol usually depicts a winged woman pouring water from an ewer. In Greek mythology, she represents Gaia and Uranus’ union and the creation of life on earth. It’s easy to mistake Aquarius for an introverted sign because its ruling planet, Uranus, is associated with rebellion and revolution.
However, despite what many believe to be their standoffish nature (and even though they are classified as one of the three zodiac signs whose traits are associated with being “cool”), there is nothing aloof or detached about these people at all — in fact, quite the opposite! They tend to feel deeply connected to humanity as a whole (Aquarians are often involved in humanitarian efforts).
Humanitarianism is a big part of what makes up the Aquarius Sign’s personality traits
You probably know that humanitarianism is a big part of Aquarians’ personality traits. However, this star sign also has a secret rebel streak underneath its philanthropic side. Aquarians are idealists who hate routine and love change. They enjoy being social but often require a lot of time to reconnect with themselves. Aquarians may also be perceived as friendly because they’re good listeners and want to understand people’s feelings. Still, they’re introverts who need plenty of alone time to recharge their batteries (and recharge their creative juices).
Because they tend to think so much about what needs fixing in the world around them, Aquarians can sometimes appear detached from emotions, even when it comes down to matters of the heart! These folks are indeed very friendly and social by nature; however, if you’ve ever been around one when they don’t want company, you’ll know exactly what we mean.
Many Aquarians have revolutionary ideas for social change.
They tend to be dreamers rather than problem solvers or doers. Aquarians are also very independent thinkers and don’t care what other people think of their ideas. This can be a great thing, especially in the world of politics. They’re not afraid to speak their minds and aren’t afraid to let others know how they feel about certain issues. However, this trait can sometimes make it difficult for Aquarians to get along with their families or other people who don’t share their opinions.
Wrapping it up…
Aquarius is a unique sign that can be difficult to understand. It’s important to remember that no two Aquarians are alike and that every person born under this sign will have unique personality traits. However, if you want to know what it means to be an Aquarius or you are an Aquarius yourself, remember these three things: humanitarianism, curiosity, and rebelliousness.
