Aquarius (♒︎; Greek: Ὑδροχόος, romanized: Hydrokhóos, Latin for "water-bearer") is the eleventh astrological sign in the zodiac, originating from the constellation Aquarius. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in the Aquarius sign between about January 21 and February 19.[2] Aquarius is one of the three air signs, alongside Gemini and Libra. The ruling planets of Aquarius are Saturn (in traditional astrology alongside Capricorn), and Uranus (in modern astrology). It is a fixed air sign. The opposite sign of Aquarius is Leo.

Myth
Aquarius, the Water Bearer, is one of the oldest identified constellations and zodiac signs, with a history stretching back thousands of years. Its story weaves together astronomy, mythology, and astrological symbolism—and its significance has shifted over time as human cultures evolved. Though today Aquarius is often associated with innovation, independence, and humanitarian ideals, its origins lie in far more ancient traditions tied to agriculture, rainfall, and divine myth.

Hindu astrology
In Hindu (Vedic) astrology, Aquarius is known as Kumbha Rāśi (कुम्भ राशि), representing the symbol of a water pot. Kumbha is ruled by the planet Shani (Saturn) and is considered a fixed, air sign. It is associated with qualities of innovation, humanitarianism, and persistence, similar to Western interpretations, but its predictive role is rooted in the sidereal zodiac system. The Kumbha Rāśi plays a key role in individual horoscopes (Janma Kundali), compatibility (Kundali Milan), and in timing rituals (Muhurta).[3]
