Know someone intriguing who cares deeply about social issues or the planet? Chances are they’re probably an Aquarius. Let’s look at the mythology, celestial bodies, and traits associated with the sign of the water bearer.
Origins and Astronomical Significance:
Aquarius can be found in a region of the sky that’s known as the ‘sea’ because of its many water-related constellations. The constellation resembles a figure pouring water from a jar (hence the water bearer) and its brightest star is called Sadalsuud.
Mythology
As with the other 11 signs of the zodiac, there’s some interesting mythology associated with Aquarius. One of the most well-known is the story from Greek mythology, involving Zeus and Ganymede, a good-looking young prince of Troy. Ganymede was the son of Tros, the king of Troy and was considered the most beautiful of all the mortals. Zeus, the king of the gods, was so enraptured by his beauty, that he transformed into an eagle and abducted Ganymede, taking him to Mount Olympus. Zeus granted Ganymede immortality and he became the cupbearer to the gods. Who said pretty privilege doesn’t exist, right?
Astrological Significance:
People born under the sign of Aquarius are often creative problem-solvers who think outside the box. They are also highly independent and value their freedom. That doesn’t mean they don’t care for people however, in fact, they care deeply. Aquarians are often involved in supporting causes because they have a strong desire to make the world a better place.
For them, life is a fascinating tapestry, and they have a desire to learn and engage in deep conversations. If you meet an Aquarius, expect to dive deep in to love, life, and everything!
So they are the positives, what about their more challenging traits? Their desire for independence can make them seem detached or aloof. Aquarians are also known for their stubbornness and unpredictability-you might try forever to change their mind about something then they’ll change it on a whim, because they want to.
Health-wise, the sign is associated with the ankles, calves, and the circulatory system. This makes Aquarius prone to sprains, stiffness, poor circulation, and varicose veins. The advice for Aquarians is do some exercise to get the circulation going, ideally swimming, a perfect choice for a water sign.
