Simply put, having planets in Aquarius can signify obstinacy and a drive to defy convention.

Is Aquarius a water sign?
Aquarius is a fixed air sign, which means it is born in the middle of a season (winter) and is associated with stubbornness. They are symbolized by the water bearer because they impart knowledge to the rest of the world. Aquarians are the zodiac’s humanitarians, speaking to and for the collective. Because they’re focused on the broad picturetrying to see how the information they receive might help society evolvethey process circumstances, relationships, and news at a slower and deeper rate than the other air signs.
Because they march to the beat of their own drum, Aquarius is frequently referred to as the “weirdo” or “alien” of the zodiac. They’re usually creative, original thinkers who come up with out-of-the-box concepts that are actually rather brilliant. The water carrier is always looking forward!
What does it mean to have Aquarius rising in your horoscope?
If you’re born under the sign of Aquarius, you’re likely to be thought of as intelligent, innovative, and humanitarian. Some people mistakenly believe that Aquarius is a water sign, however it is actually the third air sign (after Gemini and Libra) and a symbol of the water bearer. This sign is about sharing the water rather than being the water; it’s about being a part of the community rather than being the water. You’re also recognized for being an outspoken individual who isn’t hesitant to flaunt your freak flag. Uranus, your ruling planet, is as unconventional as you are.
How can I figure out which astrological house I’m in?
Okay. Houses. Have you ever heard the phrase “Mars is in your third house” before? They’re talking about the part of the sky Mars was in when you were born. The house system divides the sky into 12 divisions and provides insight into various areas of your life according on which planets and constellations fall into which sectors when you were born. The zodiac constellation rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment you were born determines your first house, which is why both the time and location of your birth are required to determine it. From there, the rest of your houses will be counted in order. Visuals for your chart can be found on sites like this one!
1. The First House denotes one’s own image.
2. The House of Money and Finances is represented by the Second House.
3. The Third House is associated with close platonic ties as well as our near surroundings.
4. The Fourth House is associated with children and family.
5. The Fifth House is associated with self-expression, creativity, and amusement.
6. Work and health are represented by the Sixth House.
7. Marriage and long-term relationships are represented by the Seventh House.
8. The House of Transformation and Sexuality is represented by the eighth house.
The Ninth House depicts faith and belief systems.
The tenth house is associated with careers and responsibilities.
11. Aspirations and personal ambitions are represented by the Eleventh House.
12. The Twelfth House is associated with secrets, seclusion, and karma.
Pay attention to your first, fourth, seventh, and tenth houses if your mind is spinning right now. They are usually given greater credit.
Houses are intriguing in that they can disclose or confirm your strengths and flaws. I wasn’t surprised to hear that Aries was in my second house, for example. Because Aries is a sign of ambition, passion, and volatile emotion, it’s no surprise that when it’s in my second house, which symbolizes money and finances, I’m very career-oriented and believe that my money must be earned. It’s also understandable that I’m prone to impulsive purchasing (as seen by my unneeded yet necessary sneaker purchase a week ago). Oops.
A word about your rising sign. Your rising sign, also known as “the ascendant,” is the zodiac constellation that falls into your first house. It’s the most finicky and toughest to pin down even a few minutes difference in your birth time might yield varied consequences. After your sun and moon signs, many astrologers believe this is your third most important placement. Your ascendant, as previously said, symbolizes your public persona. It can show up in your attire or practically any decision that has to do with your external appearance (such as hair color, piercings or overall style). It could also represent how you react to your immediate environment and how you approach everyday life.
Because my Aquarius ascendant is distinguished by originality and frequently rebellious style decisions, discovering my rising sign made me feel empowered to get a septum piercing even though my friends felt it would be too “strange” even though my friends said it would be too “weird.”
What is the procedure for determining my astrological houses?
Look at the inner circle on your chart for these. The digits one through twelve will be shown in a counterclockwise direction. These are your residences. There will be many planetary symbols in some of these sections.
Is Aquarius a unique sign?
The 12 zodiac signs each have their own set of personality qualities and are unique in their own way (they each even have a corresponding tarot card and connection to your health). Nothing, however, compares to being the rarest. You might be wondering what the rarest zodiac sign is.
Aquarius is the sign that persons born between January 20 and February 18 belong to. “January and February have the fewest births, making Aquarius the rarest zodiac sign,” says Lisa Stardust, an astrologer in New York City and author of Saturn Return Survival Guide: Navigating This Cosmic Rite of Passage.
Is there a difference between January Aquarius and February Aquarius?
Just because you share the same zodiac sign as someone doesn’t mean you’ll have a strong bond. In fact, some of the zodiac’s water bearers feel as if they’re pouring from two different cosmic jugs: January Aquarians and February Aquarians. Of course, everyone’s cosmic profile is different, and the positions of the principal points and planets in our horoscopes differ depending on the day, year, and minute we were born. But, in astrology, do the apparent differences between a January and a February Aquarius have any basis? In a nutshell, yes, but it’s complicated.
Because our sun signs represent merely a small slice of the enormous expanse of our birth charts, it’s not strange that persons born under the same zodiac sign might have radically distinct personality traits. Even if everyone born between January 20 and February 18 has an Aquarius sun sign, their horoscopes may range dramatically in terms of the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and rising signs. All Aquarians have some core Aquarius characteristics, but depending on their specific birth details, there can be significant differences in the way they communicate, conduct relationships, pursue their goals, and express their feelings.
However, there is another significant astrological feature that can distinguish January Aquarians from February Aquarians: each zodiac sign is divided into three decans. The way a sign’s energy manifests is altered and influenced by these groupings, which are decided by the degree of your solar sign (which you can find by checking your birth chart). Because each sign covers 30 degrees on the zodiac wheel, the first decan is made up of the sign’s first 10 degrees, the second decan is made up of the following 10 degrees, and the third decan is made up of the final 10 degrees. Because the sun advances around the zodiac at a rate of about one degree each day, practically all January Aquarians (with the exception of those born on the very last day of the month) are first decan Aquarians, whereas all February Aquarians are either second or third decan Aquarians.
Let’s look at the differences between January and February Aquarians via the lens of astrological decans, as this ancient notion can provide us with a forward-thinking and customized perspective on the zodiac’s resident fixed air sign.
What does it mean to be a double Aquarius?
“Whenever we have a Capricorn moon, it lends loyalty to a person’s intimate relationships,” Benson adds. “With the Aquarius sun, this person is likely to be a dependable friend and community member. They will show up and deliver if they offer you their word.” The biggest disadvantage of this pairing is that this person may develop workaholic tendencies. “They can be quite focused,” Benson adds, “so they may need to learn to lighten up a little and make time for fun and silliness.”
