Intellectual and Innovative
The Aquarius sign in Astrology is represented by the water bearer, and they tend to be highly intellectual, analytical, and innovative in their way of thinking. Aquarians have a mental intensity that can lead to breakthrough thinking and ideas, but at times that can make them seem detached or aloof from others, when in reality they're not aloof they are just thinking deep thoughts and trying to figure something out.
A Rebel, but with a Cause
Aquarians tend to have a deep-seated desire to "make a difference" in the world, but also tend to be more likely than other signs to find themselves at odds with society due to their personality traits and strong sense of independence. It's common for an Aquarius to have a bit of a rebellious streak that can cause conflict with authority figures or those who seek control over others. Aquarians often seek endeavors that try to correct these sort of perceived wrongs in the world, and aren’t afraid to stand up to authority in the pursuit of these lofty goals.
Enigmatic and Unique
Independent and enigmatic, Aquarians are unique. There is no one quite like an Aquarius, and because each is so incredibly individual, it can be tough to describe them as a group. Aquarians don't like labels, and may shy away from any adjective—even the good ones you might bestow upon them. Aquarians believe in the nature of change and evolution, and even though they're a fixed sign, they may not necessarily believe they are the ""same"" people they were when they were born.
Optimistic and Idealistic
Aquarians believe in the innate goodness of people - they will never doubt you, even when you doubt yourself. Their ability to see the best in all people, even if people don't see those qualities in themselves, enables Aquarians to lift people up and lighten any mood. Yet while Aquarians are able to inspire and motivate others with their unbridled optimism, their optimism and idealism can also make them a bit detached from reality, causing them to see the world as the way they want it to be rather than the way it is.
