Aquarius or Kumbha is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac. It is indicated by a Water Bearer. The Sun stays in Aquarius from 13th February to 14th March as per sidereal zodiac which is followed by Vedic Astrologers.
Aquarius is considered as an airy sign in Vedic Astrology and it is ruled by Saturn and whereas the tenth zodiac sign Capricorn is also ruled by Saturn, there is a difference in the nature and influence of these two signs. For example, Capricorn is more likely to impart certain specific characteristics to the planets placed in it in a horoscope which are likely to help the native with attaining materialistic successes and achievements whereas Aquarius on the other hand imparts certain specific characteristics to some specific planets placed in it in a horoscope which are more likely to help the native with spiritual progress, meditation and other such paranormal and supernatural phenomenon, but at the same time Aquarius is capable of blessing the planets placed in it with materialistic advantages also though the native may still tend towards the spiritualistic aspect more than the materialistic aspect.
It is a fixed, airy, masculine sign, governs ankle and blood circulation and the eleventh house of the horoscope. Its characteristics are originality, progressive attitudes, love for freedom, intellectual, and spiritual. It symbolizes next step toward absolute, personal boundaries are transcended, sense of community and universal values.
Aquarians are usually friendly and are often original thinkers. They possess inventive, even erratic minds and can be described as truly broad-minded. Computing, science, invention, radio and television all appeal to Aquarians as career paths.
With their flair for invention and problem-solving, Aquarians often choose obscure solutions.
When Aquarians first meet someone, they scrutinise them carefully. Not to determine their strengths and weakness (as a Virgoan would), but to examine their ideas and beliefs. Aquarians want to know what others think and believe, and why.
Aquarius people have the ability to attract others to them, even though they are often seldom understood. They are considered different, because they do not fall into any known pattern. They are friendly, but detached. They have warmth, yet they are distant. They are far more concerned about humanity as a whole than any one particular individual.
This is an interesting sign, in that it is a combination of tradition and innovation. They seek new approaches to old problems and often have to contend with their inner traditionalist which resists change.
Aquarius people want to change the world by bringing new ideas to old conditions. They have a profound desire to bring about advances in art, science, politics, and literature, and to establish a new type of human understanding. They have good powers of concentration and are able to assimilate a lot of information. But there is a tendency to be absentminded. They can be extremely stubborn. They are not frightened of the bizarre, the irrational, or the unknown.
Aquarius like all other zodiac signs, contains three Nakshatra or lunar mansion, which are half of the Dhanishta Nakshatra, entire Shatabhisha Nakshatra and two third of the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
