Greetings, celestial enthusiasts! It's the era of Aquarius, and at ASSUWA, we're diving into the creative, intellectual, rebellious, and humanitarian energy of this extraordinary zodiac sign. Join us as we explore the personality traits of Aquarians, the Aquarius birthstone and healing crystals, and, most importantly, discover meaningful gifts that resonate with their unique spirit.

Aquarius: Mythology and Symbolism

Aquarius, meaning "water bearer" or "water carrier," finds its roots in ancient Greek and Mesopotamian cultures. The symbol originates from the Babylonian god Ea, representing wisdom, freshwater, and magic. The imagery of a water jug or vase in Babylonian depictions aligns seamlessly with the water-bearing symbol of Aquarius.

Despite the water-related symbolism, Aquarius is an air sign in astrology, placing it as the eleventh sign in the zodiac, spanning from January 20th to February 18th.

Getting to Know Aquarius

• Independent: Aquarians value freedom and independence, navigating life on their own terms without compromising their ideals or morals.
• Unique: Known for their unconventional and creative mindset, Aquarians embrace their role as dreamers and originals, much like the iconic Yoko Ono.
• Intellectual: As an air sign, Aquarius is deeply intellectual, curious, and socially engaged. Think of them as the Alice in Wonderland of the zodiac – endlessly curious and independent.
• Humanitarian: With a deep passion for the earth and its inhabitants, Aquarians champion social causes and strive to make the world a better place, reminiscent of philosopher Bertrand Russell.
• Rebellious: Aquarians resist conformity, enjoying exploring ethically grey areas and challenging norms. Their rebellious streak is a defining trait.
