The Sun is moving into Aquarius on January 19th, and while that can mean a whole lot of changes for everyone, it has much more of an effect on those born between the dates of January 20th and February 18th. Your Sun sign, which would be Aquarius for anyone born between those dates, does a whole lot to determine your personality, as well as how other people see you. If you’ve ever heard someone ask what your zodiac sign is, they were likely asking what your Sun sign is.
Aquarius, by default, is the sign of the Zodiac, that promotes and encourages innovation, strategic thinking, mindfulness, and independence. Though, that’s definitely not all. If you’re an Aquarius or you know one, then it can be quite hard to deny that it is easily the most rebellious sign of them all. They are honest, humanitarian, and quite tech-savvy, free-spirited, mysterious, and eccentric.
Sun in Aquarius
If your Sun sign is Aquarius, your outward personality and appearance to others is greatly influenced. Typically, this placement indicated that you have a lot of creative energy, but not in the usual “Arts & crafts” and artistic ways, rather, your creative energy is dumped into more… intellectual projects. By default, someone with the Aquarius Sun sign is a very strategic and innovative thinker, and it shows in much of what they do. When it comes to developing and learning new systems to better organize and promote efficiency, you got it locked down. You think in a more analytical sense, get excited over new ideas and thoughts, and absolutely love sharing those ideas with others.
There is a small problem with your Sun in Aquarius. The Sun’s effects aren’t nearly as strong as they could be while in Aquarius. Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, whereas, Leo is ruled by the Sun. Leo, being the opposite of Aquarius, the Sun is in its detriment in this placement, causing uncertainty. Because of this, Aquarius Sun signs often have issues with meaningful connections, as well as empathy. However, when an Aquarius Sun does find a deep connection, that’s a bond that can’t be broken easily. In those cases, when you make an honest effort to open up and speak on your feelings and emotions, your words have the kind of depth and emotion to them that can’t be ignored.
Moon in Aquarius
When it comes to Lunar Aquarius placements, the meaning varies drastically from your Sun sign in the sense that it focuses more on who you are on the inside, rather than how others see you. Having your Moon in Aquarius means you’re quite the fan of logic and reasoning. If you’ve had emotional issues, you find the logical core of them. Oftentimes, you’ll dig deep within to find those causes and solutions, which will often require you to distance yourself from others while you search internally. Because of this, Aquarius Moons often feel as though they’re misunderstood and can make relationships a struggle sometimes. With a strong need to feel appreciated and connected, you probably have an even stronger need to be understood on a more intellectual basis where you can share and speak about your thoughts and feelings in an environment where your analytical side can merge with emotional side.
However, there are some quite admirable traits to be found in an Aquarius Moon placement. If you thought an Aries was the most stubborn sign, you might not have met someone with their Moon in Aquarius. There’s no such thing as going with the flow when they have the opportunity to stand their ground and speak their mind. Though, give an Aquarius space to really tune into their innovative side, and they will absolutely thrive. Most of the time, these innovative tendencies come out in the form of wanting to help someone in a different way, or striving to fix some of society’s issues.
Ascendant in Aquarius
Your Ascendant, or Rising sign, often reflects on the first impressions that others get when they meet you, as well as their perception of you. Oftentimes it can take a bit to crack through an Aquarius Rising’s outer shell to get to caring, intellectually strategizing gem beneath. That is, in part, due to the fact that they can come off as rather chill, but they have a way of putting their purposes and intentions above all else. Get in their way, and well, you probably won’t have the greatest experience with them. Long story short; don’t mess with an Aquarius Rising who’s on a mission. It won’t end well for you.
