Aquarius

Aquarius is a fixed air sign — traditionally ruled by Saturn, and in modern astrology also by Uranus. The combination produces someone whose mode is SYSTEM-LEVEL THINKING — Aquarius sees patterns, ideologies, futures, and the collective whole rather than the immediate personal. Strong Aquarius placements often have a contrarian streak, a comfort with detachment, and a deep loyalty to causes and group identities rather than individual relationships. The shadow side: emotional aloofness, intellectual stubbornness disguised as principle, an inability to deal with messy human warmth on its own terms. Aquarius rules the calves and ankles and runs from approximately January 20 to February 18.
