With the Sun in Aquarius, who pours the waters of his fertilizing urn for the benefit of all mankind, you have a great span of vision and a real yearning to make the world a better place. While the other more intellectual air signs, Gemini and Libra, use their time in collecting knowledge and in analysing their emotions, Aquarius is less personally concerned and more worried with the brotherhood of man. One to one relationships, which are Libra's territory, mean a smaller amount to you than friendships and you perform best when you can communicate your vision with a group of like minded people and you work collectively for the common good. But as Aquarius is a fixed sign, you can, at times, be stubborn or inflexible, or seem reserved or detached. Personal details and emotions do not concern you a lot, for you like to see the bigger picture and you can’t bear possessiveness and envy, as your main concern in life is trying to create new ways of relating that give those involved more independence to be themselves.

Your ruling planet
The ruling planet of your individual chart is the one that rules your Rising Sign. However, if Aquarius is your Sun Sign, its leader, Uranus, will also participate a significant role in your psychology.

Sun Sign Legends
In ancient Babylon, Aquarius, the Water Bearer, ruled over a huge vicinity of the sky known as The Sea. These were the fertilising 'upper waters' of the sky, seen as the foundation of life, through which the sun passed in the rainy time of year and where the two fish of Pisces, the Southern Fish and the Dolphin, amongst other marine animals, can be found. The star, Sad el Melik, 'the lucky one of the king', marks Aquarius's right hand shoulder. Aquarius resides between Capricorn and Pisces on the zodiac chart.

Before Uranus was revealed, Saturn was Aquarius's planet. It is still its co-ruler, which make the heartsease, the pansy, the blue cornflower and Solomon's seal Aquarius's flowers. The Orchid and the Star of Bethlehem, with it small, pointed, star-like petals, which echo the starry heavens which Uranus rules, also belong to Aquarius.Aquarius’s herbs are fumitory and hemp and your trees are the Poplar, the Tamarisk, the Cypress Trees and the pleasantly scented Lime or Linden Tree. The spicy, oriental vetivert is also ruled by Saturn and belongs to Aquarius. Your essential oils are vetivert, patchouli and myrrh.

Aquarius, the most far-seeing and separate of all the signs, is concerned with wide-ranging, compassionate issues and with the brotherhood of man. It also rules deep space and all the starry heavens and has the Star Sapphire as its precious gemstone. The Star Sapphire puts its wearer in tune with the great cosmic cycles and forces and gives protection to lies and jealousy. It is also said to act as a guide. Labradorite, with its sudden flashes of peacock blues and greens, reflects Aquarius's ruler, Uranus, the planet that brings sudden insights and illuminations, as well as the sparkling life-giving waters pouring from Aquarius's urn. It is known as a bringer of luck.
