Everything You Need to Know If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aquarius

Jesse Blanner, HelloGiggles

Aquarius is the most misunderstood sign. While they are known to be emotionally distant at times, they have a brooding emotional side to their intellectual and pragmatic ways. They are deep thinkers who have a sentimental part of them that they rarely show. After all, they are the watery part of the air. This also means that they are the most intuitive and creative air sign of the zodiac.

Aquarius's mind may be their superpower, but their heart is big. They always put others before themself and are big believers in teamwork. And they are the best ride-or-die friend to have on your side; they are known for their amazing ability to offer TLC to friends.

Your defining traits:

You are defined by the four “I’s”: independent, idealistic, intellectual, and innovative. You are the social and global trendsetter who truly wants to heal earth and make it a better place. While doing so, you’ll make sweeping changes as you walk to the beat of your own drum.

Who you're compatible with:

Always one to play aloof when it comes to friendships and romance, you relate more easily to air signs (Gemini and Libra) because you have the ability to apply reason and practicality to your intellect. Also, you all love to chat and gossip with each other. It can be hard for you to relate to water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces), as these signs tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and be super emotional, which differs from your airy demeanor. You do get along well with earth signs (like Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) because you share a love of art, and all of you like a good party.

Your ideal career path:

Finding an ideal career is hard for Aquarians (as you know). It’s not that you lack direction, but you think outside the box and have a distinct take on matters—which differs from the mainstream. It’s common for Aquarians to be innovators and creators, particularly in science, tech, and media. You have your own way of looking at matters, which can advance and transform the world. This makes you responsible for the advancement of humankind.

Your ultimate purpose in life:

Aquarians are the humanitarians of the zodiac. They are always the ones who are at the forefront of the picket lines advocating for causes that they believe in. Not only do they protest, but they also use their skills to help those in need by volunteering their time to charity. Chances are that if your zodiac sign is Aquarius, you are a person who wants to transform the world. The concept of global innovation is where you’ll find happiness, as you can use your unique skill set to manifest change. This will require you to use your novel ideology to implement growth in fields like science and technology.
