The Sabian Symbols of Aquarius

The Water-Bearer · January 20 – February 18 · Air, fixed, ruled by Uranus

Aquarius runs from 1° to 30° of the zodiac — thirty degrees, and so thirty Sabian Symbols. Each is a single received image, dictated to clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler by astrologer Marc Edmund Jones in 1925. Together they form a sequence: a thirty-step arc through the territory Aquarius governs.

As an air sign in the fixed mode, ruled by Uranus, Aquarius colours every image that falls in it — a movement toward connection and idea — energy that wants to relate, name, and circulate.
