The sign Aquarius was traditionally ruled by Saturn, though Uranus has also been assigned rulership since its discovery in 1781. Physically it is related to the calves and ankles, as well as the circulation system. It is said to have a masculine nature, and is therefore more outwardly oriented in its energy expression. As a Air sign it is very social, and shows itself in groups and social organisations. As a Fixed sign it has determination and staying power, and it is related to ideological convictions.

The Aquarius influence is expressed in rather a stubborn way as far as opinions are concerned, but the sign is also strongly related to social and humanitarian ideals. Planets in this sign express themselves in a unique and unconventional manner. This can lead to an experience of alienation or social isolation. Nevertheless the energy of Aquarius is in essence friendly and expresses itself in social relationships where shared ideals play a greater role than emotions. Aquarian energy is cool and detached, and a greater balance could be achieved if more warmth and identity could be invested in personality expression.

The great turning points in your life happen in connection with upheavals in social relationships. As your opinions and beliefs change you will find yourself redefining who you want to be together with. The loss of good friends for one reason or another can thus lead to a strong sense of isolation whilst you re-evaluate your visions. Your greatest talent is the unconscious ability to create an almost magic atmosphere when you are together with people. Although you are warm and friendly, in intimate relationships you can be rather uncomfortable about showing your emotions. When under emotional pressure, you tend to freeze up and establish a distance, and this can be rather disturbing for your partner. A wise partner will never stand in the way of you and your friends.
