Two identical wavy lines set one above the other, each rising and falling twice, the zodiac sign for births between 20 January to 18 February.
Also known as: Aquarius, Aquarius zodiac sign, Aquarius star sign
Aquarius is the zodiac sign traditionally assigned to births between 20 January to 18 February. Astrology classes it as a air sign of fixed quality ruled by Saturn, and reads the glyph as water poured from a vessel, or ripples on its surface. The sign no longer lines up with the constellation it is named after.

The sign and the constellation of the same name no longer coincide.
