Meaning & usage
The Aquarius glyph is one of the twelve zodiac symbols astrologers have used for over two thousand years. Aquarius covers birthdays from 20 January – 18 February and is a Water Bearer (an Air sign) sign pictured as the Water Bearer. Original, humane and stubbornly independent — Aquarius is the sign of the future and the group, ruled by Uranus, pouring out ideas for everyone.
The glyph itself is a small pictogram of that creature, simplified over centuries into the form fonts use today. Copy it for birthday posts, horoscope pages, tattoo designs and astrology charts.
