Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac. This watercolour illustration of the Aquarian astrological energy is available as an art notecard or a print. The text below, describing the symbolism of the zodiac art, is included under the image on the print and comes with the card as a removable insert.
The Air of Aquarius is the breathing space to be freely himself. He rebels against being tied down. Emerging from beneath the paper, he tears through it to propel himself beyond its dimensions. Neither naked nor clothed, he resists labels and pigeonholes. His wings are colourfully innovative and uniquely his own, neither bird's nor insect's. The personal freedom that he claims for himself, he also champions for all. Thus his insistence on the rights of the individual is not selfish but humanitarian.
Aquarius: Fixed Air
The Sun is in Aquarius between January 20 and February 19
The cards in this series are illustrations of the "pure" energies represented by the Signs. In anyone's birth chart, these energies interact and mitigate each other's expressions. Thus, no one expresses "purely" the energies described - although some people will find an uncanny affinity with the personification if that Sign is strongly emphasized in their chart.
The choice of male or female personification is based on the traditional association of Fire and Air signs with the masculine and of Water and Earth with the feminine. Like all of the imagery involved, this needs to be understood in symbolic terms.
Many people prefer to use the cards for the principle illustrated rather than for the zodiac sign.
