Aquarius (♒)

The eleventh sign of the zodiac, spanning January 20 to February 18. Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign traditionally ruled by Saturn and in modern astrology co-ruled by Uranus, the planet of revolution and innovation. Symbolized by the Water Bearer, Aquarius embodies humanitarianism, originality, intellectual independence, and the vision of a better collective future. In a natal chart, strong Aquarius placements indicate a personality that is progressive, unconventional, fiercely independent, and drawn to group causes and technological innovation. The shadow side includes emotional detachment, contrarianism, and aloofness. The Aquarius archetype is the Visionary — the one who sees the future the rest of us cannot yet imagine. Body rulership: ankles and circulatory system. Aquarius has no traditional exaltation and is in detriment in the Sun.
