Star signs can be elusive, and those who fall under the banner of Aquarius certainly subscribe to this theory. Arguably the most eccentric of the zodiac bunch, to really know an Aquarius can be a task more difficult than most. Luckily, that's where we come in.

Whether you count an Aquarius as your nearest and dearest, or an Aquarian yourself on a journey of self-discovery, our resident RUSSH astrologer Jules Ferrari has you covered. For everything you need to know about this hard-to-crack sign, keep reading.

Aquarius personality traits, explained

Your magic sign is often referred to as the water bearer but the beautiful mortal Aquarius, who caught the eye of Zeus and was transported to the realm of the gods isn’t holding water in his cup, he is holding higher consciousness.

Aquarius pours thought, collective thought, into the airwaves and aether. And you, as an Aquarian, have a highly attuned antennae to this collective superhighway of idea. This is why your sign is often referred to as being progressive as you are able to pick up the ideas and new paradigms that will be tested and tried out here in our society.

As a natural conduit, part of your learning is in really being here, being present. Your sign and ruling planet, Uranus are related to the nervous system and the health of your nervous system is a great indicator of how you are utilising your sign. Are you present? Are you in your body or in your mind and thoughts? Are you shallow breathing or taking deep and full breaths?

In a sense, we are all conduits of the influences and ideas and systems that we surround ourselves with and what makes something unique is the way that it is transported through your individual lens. As an Aquarian, you have a natural objectivity, its what allows you to see patterns and through lines in things that other people may not.

There is an element of the outsider with your energy, you can see things from afar and it is this distance that allows for interesting observations. Through what vehicle are you channelling your observations? As a receptor of the new, how are you channelling your intel? It is through these processes, whatever they may be for you, that you ground your intel, that you land and ride this wave of information, that you open up new possibilities and avenues to the rest of us.

You are an inventor. Your archetype can birth the new. Like your fellow Aquarian Thomas Edison, you can bring thought to form and create whole new ways of being. You can evolve what is. Whatever your avenue is, whatever it is that brings you joy and resonance, no matter how small or large its scale, apply your mind here. You connect dots that most of us do not even see. And we need you.

HEALING BALM

The opposing sign of Leo offers heart medicine to your sign. Aquarius is cerebral and Leo balances that out through being embodied, operating from the heart, creating from the heart, in line with your authentic desires. It’s the drive to take your lens and leave your stamp on the world with it, rather than remaining in the realm of thought or idea. It opens you up to the audience and to deliver your gold to the world.
