Aquarius Zodiac Sign Traits, Astrology Characteristics and Personality

Aquarius is a masculine sign as are all the air and fire signs, and this female or male tends to forge new paths. While the Aquarius sun sign is open to change theoretically, in practice it can be rigid. These traits and tendencies may also appear for those with Aquarius rising. They gravitate toward worthwhile and practical causes. In relationships, Aquarius tends to be well liked and has the admirable characteristic of being open to all, especially those with strong individuality. They love the unusual and often surprise those around them with their quirky personality traits. They are quite clever and witty, but may have tendencies to seem to be somewhere else. They are more objective than emotional and refuse to be bound by love, due to their love of freedom and rational intellect. Honesty is a higher value for them than romance. They are loyal to their core.
On the shadow side, when others disagree, they can become cranky and discontented. Sometimes they are prone to reforming those around them, but they simply can't help but seek to effect change and progress, like their ruler Uranus. The age of Aquarius is indeed one of forward movement and if others can't keep up or drag them down, Aquarius may become disenchanted. They are quite idealistic and want everyone to be happy.
Professionally, Aquarians often rally others into action and themselves are action oriented toward their ideals. They are innovative and frequently push the existing limits, driving change. They frequently advance the causes of humanity in the arts and sciences and bring about positive change.
