Character
Aquarius is a fixed air sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn and, in modern astrology, also linked with Uranus. It combines a sense of principle with a love of the unconventional: Aquarians are independent, inventive and concerned with the wider community, often championing ideas ahead of their time. They can seem detached, since they think before they feel, but they are loyal to their friends and causes.
Love and relationships
In relationships Aquarius values friendship and freedom as much as romance. It is generous with ideas and attention but may find intense emotional demands uncomfortable. A partner who gives it space, shares its interests and welcomes honest conversation will find a steady, curious companion.
Work and money
Aquarius suits science, technology, research, social causes, design, teaching and community work; anywhere that rewards fresh thinking. It works well in teams that value independence. Money is not usually its first priority, so it is wise to make sure practical matters do not get lost in big plans.
Strengths
- Originality
- Independence
- A humanitarian outlook
- Loyalty to friends
Watch-points
- Aloofness
- Stubbornness about opinions
- Resisting routine
Compatible signs
Gemini, Libra, Aries and Sagittarius are the traditional matches for Aquarius: the other air signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Air signs share Aquarius' love of ideas, and fire signs give it a spark. Other fixed signs are loyal but can dig in when they disagree.

Today the Moon passes through your ninth house, in Libra, and your thoughts turn to the future, faraway places and what you believe. The day's tithi is Krishna Trayodashi and the Moon is in Chitra, a bright, artistic star linked with design and craftsmanship: pay attention to presentation and the finishing touches. A supportive sextile between the Moon and Mars, which is in your seventh house of partnerships and close one-to-one bonds, opens a quiet window for progress with drive, conflict, and energy; act on it instead of waiting. Mercury is retrograde in your tenth house of career, reputation and public life, so double-check messages, plans and paperwork connected with it before committing.
