Aquarius

Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac, represented by a young man bearing either a pitcher of water or a cup. The young man is Ganymedes, son of Tros who gave his name to Troy. Zeus took a fancy to Ganymedes and took him to be the cup bearer to the gods, previously the duty of Hera's daughter, Hebe. Hera's pique at this insult to her daughter annoyed Zeus who set Ganymedes in the sky as Aquarius.

The Aquarius myth follows the story of Ganymede, a young prince, and supposedly the most beautiful young man of Troy.

One day Ganymede was off tending to his father's sheep in a grassy area on Mount Ida when he was spotted by Zeus (Greek mythology).

Now, you have to remember that back in ancient Greece, it was the social norm for an older man to take a "young boy" (anywhere from 12 to 19) as a lover. In Ganymede's case, he was probably around 15 or so when the considerably older Zeus found him irresistibly beautiful and decided that he wanted him for himself.

Zeus transformed himself into the shape of a giant eagle and swooped down from Mount Olympus to Mount Ida. He grabbed Ganymede in his talons and carried him back to Mount Olympus to be his young lover / servant. Now, normally in these kinds of relationships the older man would serve as a sort of mentor to the younger one, but this was Zeus, and he pretty much gets whatever he wants. So Zeus decides that Ganymede will become his personal cup-bearer, basically bringing him drinks whenever he pleases.

Since Ganymede is now essentially Zeus's slave, Zeus offers Ganymede's father a herd of the finest horses in the land as compensation for taking his son away. This apparently appeases the father, though it's doubtful that he had much of a say in the matter either way.

One day Ganymede has had enough, and he decides to pour out all of the wine, ambrosia, and water of the gods, refusing to stay Zeus's cup bearer any longer. The legend goes that the water all fell to Earth, causing inundating rains for days upon days, which created a massive flood that flooded the entire world.

At first Zeus wants to punish Ganymede, but in a rare moment of self-reflection, Zeus realizes that he has been a bit unkind to the boy, so he makes him immortal as the constellation representing the Aquarius myth.

First, a cautionary. The idea of astrology and astrological signs has never really confirmed or denied take this information as you will.

The sense of attraction felt between to people has never been known to be affected by astrological sign. Astrological signs are more towards compatibility if Astrological Sign A can have a healthy and happy relationship with Astrological Sign B. A Virgo woman would be attracted to an Aquarius man because she thinks he is a Good/Bad/Hot/Nice/Stimulating/Intelligent/Etc. Man, if a Virgo and a Aquarius relationship survive is another matter. I have not the knowledge or expertise to comment upon.

An Aquarius man and Virgo woman can sexually arouse each other. To Aquarius, Virgo is intriguing, including sexually in this case. To Virgo, the Aquarius energy can ignite fires of passion in her that she never knew she had. The best attractions among these two signs is when their birthdays are in September and February because there are 3 types to each sign and the 2nd and 3rd types reside here. You get other signs coming into play that cause a good bond pure Virgos and Aquarians only have about a average or lower chemistry.

My husband is Aquarius Feb. 16th and I am Libra Sept. 27th. We have a unique relationship that all his good qualities compliment my bad and and my good compliment his bad. We also have so much in common it is scary. But what we don't have in common we love each other so much for.

Those born in September have the Sun in either Virgo or Libra. The Sun enters Aquarius tropically January 20 to February 18.

Anyone can cheat, regardless of their zodiac sign. Factors in a given natal chart can indicate a native that seeks variety in their partnerships and thus may be given to straying. These usually involve Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and the mutable signs Gemini and Sagittarius.

If you were born on January 20th then you are an Aquarius. If you were born on the first or last day of a Sun sign, which you were if you born on January 20th. In astrological terms you were born on a cusp. If that's the case, you will probably benefit from reading your own Sun sign and the Sun sign that ends or begins right before or after your date of birth. For example, if your birth date is 22 December, your Sun sign is Capricorn, but you probably have some Sagittarian traits as well.

If you were born on January 20th then you probably have traits of both an Aquarius and a Capricorn.

Aquarius January 20th to February 18th

Capricorn December 22 to January 19th

My birthday is January 20th. It is right on the cusp. On some astrology charts it will say those with this birthday are Aquarius and some will say we were born under the Capricorn sign.

***

Actually, in astrology, there is no such thing as a true 'cusp'. You are always either one sunsign or the other, and you can find out which one by looking up your birthdate and time in a book called an ephemeris which maps the exact location of stars and planets at the moment you were born.

The reason that cusp signs can identify with traits from both of the signs is that your sunsign is only one part of your personality. If you are born close to a cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius, say, its likely that even if you are a Capricorn sunsign, your Mercury or Venus in your astrology chart might be in Aquarius.

Aquarians are one of the Air signs and are, generally speaking, the most intelligent sign of the Zodiac. They are all about changing the world and making it a better place (or at least just making it work better). Aquarians are all for technology and take great pleasure in getting and working out the very latest devices and gadgets.

An Aquarian is most likely to take up a career in music, art or graphic design as they tend to have an artistic bent. Doing great things for humanity is a big part of their lives (they have very big hearts), as are freedom, individuality and travelling.

The number-one love matches for Aquarians are Geminis, other Aquarians, Libras and Sagittarians.

Because they have a hard time controlling their emotions.

Yes. (Also depends what other zodiac signs influence each person the most.)

Aquarius woman horoscope

The Aquarius woman is electric, she has the ability to "electrocute" anyone who comes into direct contact with her. In common language, you could say that she is shocking.

Unpredictable, original, uninhibited, intelligent, resourceful and ready to invent anything, from a faster needle to a boat like those in Mahabharata (the famous Indian epic), the Aquarius woman is the dream of any man who wants an exciting relationship.

The Aquarius woman has beautiful eyes, like nobody else's. Few people can look at her for more than a few seconds. Regardless of their colour, they have something special, their light comes from another galaxy and penetrates many worlds.

The negligence about her outfit can be charming in itself. The Aquarius woman makes unexpected combinations between old and new, between things that she puts on at random and things that she has been looking for at luxury stores for days. They can underline her cylinder-shaped body, no matter if she has a slim or a plump body.

As far as I know nothing.Unless you were hoping for some bizarre hybrid or mutant I don't think two Aquarius are going to do much.

In other words nothing.Its just a sign not a thing you have to follow with a hellbent intent.

2 aquarians born roughly 20-30 of Jan do not get along cause its the 1st decan and if you do a survey youll hardly see any marriages then However if birth is 1-20 of feb then chemistrys there

A human. Specifically, in mythology the constellation represents Ganymede, cup-bearer to Jupiter.

Perhaps you're thinking of Aquila, the eagle, a different constellation.

In addition to the similarity in names, there is a mythological relationship between the two constellations: when Jupiter transformed into a bird to carry Ganymede off, he transformed specifically into an eagle. There's also a spacial relationship between the two constellations; Aquila is right next to Aquarius.

Aquarius, ruled by the planets Saturn and Uranus (by modern astrologers), is usually associated with neon and shiny metallic colors.

I am not as knowledgeable in astrology as this question may need, but I am a Virgo, and the general description of a Virgo fits me pretty well. I have been in a long, serious relationship with an Aquarius for a few years now. Most sources will inform you that Aquarius and Virgo is a pretty bad match. My Aquarius beau and I have had some pretty rough times which could be due to our signs, yet we are able to make it work, and those hard times have made our relationship stronger. Somehow his Aquarius ways loosen my uptight Virgo personality, and I believe my Virgo ways focus and attend to his Aquarius needs. It may be a bit of struggle for Virgo and Aquarius, but I believe individuals can make a relationship work if they want, regardless of their signs.

They make better friends than lovers.

Not meaning to be too condescending but I am an Aquarian and as much as I am known to be the most calm and non-frontational personality, the "Virgo" is basically the "kiss of death" to me! lol For some strange reason, if I am in their space for too long even if just to breath air, they quickly develop a very angry mood or attitude towards me! It's so consistant and so predictable that even my glass is half-full positive ways cannot change it! Good for you both if you found a way to make it work! :-)

Iwould have to say first of all im a Pisces and my girlfriend is a Virgo. in my expireince with my relationship i would say im more then happy, we've been together for 8 months. at not once have i seen a problem a fight, a argument. we are more then close i would rather more, say emotionaly, intellectualy and sexualy connected. i feel were ment for each other. i hear complements from random people as we go out to see a movie or go out to watch a soccer game that we make a lovely couple yes it make me feel good but not only hearing it from other does it make me beileve we are ment for each other "I KNOW". i did research the horoscopes and just looking at what it had to say about Virgo and Pisces i thought total bull sh*t opposites maybe so... but think about that saying "opposites attract" but overall we love each other and that's all that really matters. yea some of the stuff they say about the horoscopes are true but if u want to go ahead and believe that fine by me but im sticking to what i think is right...love. as long as you love that person doesnt matter if there zodiac sign doesnt match up to be compatible with you love them for who they are and you'll be one happy lucky s.o.b :)

Generally speaking a Pisces-Virgo relationship tends to be difficult.

If you are a member of one of these groups, and you like someone who is in the other group, then yes. I am not a particular fan of astrology, but am not a zealous foe, either. I don't think that anyone will tell you that you cannot or should not like a person from any group at all. Life is full of challenges, whoever you are and whoever you like/love. There is no pairing that leads to perfect bliss, and there is no pairing that you should consider more important than your feelings for a particular person. One might argue that getting together with someone in a group 'known' to be at odds with yours could be a benefit; you may have some sense ahead of time of the kinds of things you will need to deal with in order to make it work.

Though born under the sign of Aquarius, a person born on January 22 is said to be an "Aquarius born on the Cusp of Capricorn". This means that this individual will display many of the traits of Capricorn as well as those of Aquarius. However, the shortened version is that they are an Aquarius.

but are they more Aquarius than Capricorn?

You will have to give your date of birth, place of birth and your time of birth to an astrologer for them to interpret your birth chart or give you an astrological forecast. Your Sun is in Aquarius; Moon is in Aries; Mercury in Pisces; Venus in Capricorn; Mars Pisces; Jupiter in Virgo, Saturn in Aries; Uranus in Virgo; Neptune in Scorpio and Pluto in Virgo.

Most of the time, Aquarius are seen to be mysterious and unpredictable. So this may be a bad quality of Aquarius since people may find it hard to understand them and know their true feelings and emotions. Also Aquarius may be stubborn at times.

Astrology is a foolish measure of possible compatibility. If the two people like each other, it does not matter what silly sign they are. Astrology is a completely bogus doctrine. But I have no proof cause never really studied it

They go together quite a bit yes. E.g. both like to travel and read.

One must also remember that Aquarius is air element, and Sagittarius is fire element. Air can whip up a flame, or put it out.

Its the best match in the heavens-the bond is though you've known each other forever-that's true cause the zodiacs eternal Now there are 3 types to each sign depending on the 10 day period of birth Friction would result from Aquarius born 1-10 of feb meeting a sagg born 11-21 of dec Here you have some like signs that repel because a Gemini comes in the 2nd decan-feb causing a problem with sagg Leo comes in 3rd decan-dec doing the same with Aquarius Consult the 36 sign zodiac or search decan astrology for further compatibility problems

One of the most beautiful out of the entire zodiac.

Reseda is a suburb of Los Angeles, CA, US.

Aquarius is the western astrology sign of the water-bearer, who is usually depicted as a male human.

There's no restriction on what "animal" of the Chinese zodiac any western astrological sign can be, since the Chinese zodiac is based on year (approximately) and the Western zodiac is based on month (approximately). It's like asking "What years does December fall in?"
