Azra’s Astrology: Aquarius the Water Bearer

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The eleventh zodiac sign is Aquarius.

Aquarius is arguably the most popular of the zodiac signs. Its’ also one of the oldest in human reckoning. The Babylonians identified the constellation of Aquarius as Ea, a water god who loved carting around giant jugs of water. You know, in case he got thirsty. By the time the Greeks made it onto the scene, the god Ea was transformed into Ganymede- literally the cupbearer to Zeus and his cronies on Mt. Olympus.

Aquarians are supposed to save the world. From what, even they aren’t sure. Still, it’s that pressing need to save something that drives most people under this sign to becoming social justice warriors. They will bounce from topic to topic hoping to find something that will actually work to fill that need to save, well, anything.

Besides being active crusaders, these people love puzzles and riddles. The Labyrinth on Crete? Totally an Aquarian architect. The Sphinx? Based off a really annoying Aquarian and his cat. The vile creature that created Soduko? Totally Aquarian.

One last word about dealing with this sign- they always want more cups, mugs, water bottles, etc. They LOVE them and can’t get enough.  If you need to appease them, get one of these things. They will forget they were even mad in the first place. But remember- the container must be empty. They can fill their own cups.
