Is Aquarius a merman

Answer 1

Aquarius is firstly not a water sign, but an air sign. The water in Aquarius is symbolic of knowledge, especially spiritual. Aquarius is also a masculine sign. So, the question should rather be - Is Aquarius a merman?

Aquarius is a man. However, some cultures (past & present ones) have regarded Aquarius as a merman. An example was Babylon. It is also said that Aquarius is actually a merman. A lot of people would disagree. Perhaps that can be seen as swimming in the ocean of space, the cosmos.

Aquarius is the most misunderstood sign - even in the namesake.

Swimming in water is using water for a different purpose to e.g. carrying it in a container. And, someone doing that could even not be able to swim.

Water signs (emotion) - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Notice - no mammals and humans.

Air signs (intellect) - Gemini, Aquarius, Libra. Notice - no animals.

Answer 2

Aquarius is represented by a male youth pouring water.

Mermen are generally associated with the sign Pisces, which rules fish.
