Aquarius is the 11th sign and archetypal rebel of the zodiac. Represented by the water bearer, this air sign makes for an independent and inventive person. They are subversive individuals who think for themselves and their way of thinking is often unusual. They do not simply submit to authority because they are free spirits who’s independence is everything to them and they will fight to defend it. Authority figures must earn their respect and loyalty or Aquarius will be apt to challenge their power or organize a coup to usurp them! They are of the people and for the people, and their friendly disposition and desire to help others can lead them into Humanitarian careers.
The ruling planet Uranus is associated with technology. This may suggest an aptitude for engineering, or tech development. Aquarius’ inventive and out-there ideas sometimes earn them ridicule from peers. Many of them are conspiracy theorists who hold unconventional beliefs and irrational notions that may stem from paranoia and their deepest personal fears. Nevertheless, they keep their finger to the pulse of humanity, and their ability to forecast future opportunities and events allows them to be vanguards in whatever industry they’re interested in. They are trend spotters and dot connectors who may connect dots not meant to be connected. They have such confidence in their convictions however, that they are willing to look like overzealous fools in the eyes of others.
