Aquarius Zodiac • Personality & Characteristics

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius is known for its humanitarianism and altruism. You are often the first to lend a helping hand when someone is in need and are always ready to fight for a cause you believe in. Aquarians are also known for their progressive thinking, placing you ahead of the curve when it comes to new ideas and trends. However, your independent streak can sometimes make you seem aloof or uninterested when in reality, you are just a deep thinker who needs time to process everything around you.

For Aquarius, freedom, and independence - of thought, movement, and expression, are paramount. You need to have the ability to come and go as you please, and you need to know that you are not tied down to anyone or anything.

Your driving need for freedom means you are not content to follow in anyone’s footsteps. You need to find your own path, which can make you seem aloof or even rebellious. But your independent streak is also what makes you so fascinating and original.

Your need for freedom also extends to your relationships. You don’t like being tied down and need your space. This can sometimes make you seem cold or detached.
