Were you born on January 27th? If so, then according to Western astrology, your zodiac sign is Aquarius, the sign of the waterpot. This means that when you were born, the Sun was in the stars that make up the constellation known as Aquarius. Let's delve into the basics of your horoscope and discover what makes Aquarius unique.
Aquarius Overview
Aquarius is known as "कुम्भ" (kumbha) in Sanskrit, which translates to "waterpot." Each sign of the zodiac is characterized by certain basic traits. Here is a breakdown of the general make-up of the Aquarius sign:
- Symbol: The water bearer. Aquarius natives are altruistic and lofty thinkers, but they may be susceptible to frequent mood swings.
- Planetary Ruler: Saturn. Saturn represents karma, poverty, disease, austerity, and mysticism. Those influenced by Saturn are somber and mysterious.
- Element: Air. Aquarius moon individuals are imaginative, logical, and curious.
- Nature: Fixed. People born under this sign are steady, predictable, and slow to change.
- Gender: Masculine. This makes Aquarius natives aggressive, bold, and thick-skinned.
- Preferred Gemstone: Blue sapphire. Aquarius can also benefit from blue spinel and amethyst.
Traits of the Sun in Aquarius
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on January 27th, you're considered an Aquarius according to most people in the Western world. Here are some general traits likely to be found in someone with the Sun in Aquarius:
- Seriousness: Aquarians are thoughtful and contemplative individuals. They are drawn to philosophy and metaphysics, always seeking knowledge and engaging in meaningful conversations.
- Ambition and Dissatisfaction: With high hopes for the future, Aquarians may find themselves dissatisfied because their achievements don't always match their expectations. It's important to find a balance between striving for more and appreciating what you already have.
- Exceptional Stamina: When Aquarians set their minds on a goal, they work relentlessly towards it. They possess exceptional endurance and don't shy away from hard work if the reward is worth it.
- Financial Challenges: Depending on other planetary positions, Aquarians may struggle to save money and manage their finances responsibly. Careless spending habits may disrupt their financial stability.
- Ill-temperament: Aquarians can be difficult to get along with due to their unique worldview. They clash with those who hold different views and values. Developing a daily meditation practice can help control emotions and cultivate empathy.
Aquarius Careers
Aquarians are humanitarians at heart and may be drawn to religious or mystical professions. While they can make a good living, their tendency to spend money somewhat carelessly should be kept in check.
Recommended careers: Anything that involves helping others or has a spiritual focus. Aquarians make talented philanthropists, social reformers, healers, doctors, philosophers, mystics, and religious workers. They may also be seen in fields such as law, radio, television, or maintenance.
Careers to avoid: Aquarians' contemplative attitude and inclination toward asceticism may hinder careers that require a high degree of worldly ambition, such as entrepreneurs, executives, politicians, actors, or competitive athletes.
Aquarius Mantras
Mantras are short phrases that uplift and cleanse our mind, heart, and consciousness. Aquarians can benefit from meditating with the following mantras:
- ॐ वामनाय नमः (Om kurma-devaya namaha)
- हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare)
While these mantras can be beneficial, the Vedic wisdom texts offer many more mantras customized for each individual's unique circumstances. They are effective in relieving suffering and negativity.
