The astrological symbol of the Aquarius is the Water Bearer. But don’t be mistaken – the Aquarius’ element, formally called a sign’s triplicity, is air, not water. The air signs of the zodiac are intellectual communicators who let their mind, rather than their emotions, dictate their actions. If you look at this sign’s symbol you’ll see the Water Bearer physically pouring water. This act is representative of the Aquarius dispersing the gift of truth to the world, which is exactly the humanitarian goal of the Aquarius.
