by Lucas Vanderlinden

Were you born on February 3rd? 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 the intriguing traits of an Aquarius individual.

Aquarius Overview

Aquarius is known as कुम्भ (kumbha) in Sanskrit, which translates to "waterpot." Each zodiac sign is characterized by specific traits, such as the symbol, planetary ruler, element, nature, and gender. Here is an overview of what makes up the Aquarius sign:

• Sign of the water bearer: Aquarius natives are altruistic and lofty thinkers, although they may experience frequent mood swings.
• Ruled by Saturn: Saturn represents karma, poverty, disease, austerity, and mysticism. Individuals under Saturn's influence tend to have a somber and mysterious disposition.
• An air sign: Those with an Aquarius moon are imaginative, logical, and curious.
• A fixed sign: People born under this sign are steady, predictable, and resistant to change.
• A masculine sign: This gives Aquarians traits like aggression, boldness, and thick skin.
• Aquarius's preferred gemstone is blue sapphire: However, they 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 at the time of their birth. If you were born on February 3rd, you are considered an Aquarius according to most people in the Western world.

While the influence of the Sun in a birth chart can vary based on its house placement, relative position to other planets, and other factors, here are some general traits commonly found in individuals with the Sun in Aquarius:

• You are a serious person: Aquarians are thoughtful, contemplative, and drawn to philosophy and metaphysics. You thirst for knowledge and enjoy engaging in meaningful conversations.
• You may feel dissatisfied in life: With high ambitions for the future, you may find that your achievements don't meet your expectations. It's important to find a balance between striving for more and appreciating what you already have.
• You have tremendous stamina: Once you set your mind on a goal, you exhibit exceptional endurance and are willing to work relentlessly to accomplish it. Hard work is not an issue for you as long as the reward is worth it.
• You may have a hard time saving money: Depending on other planetary positions and factors in your chart, managing finances might be a challenge. Careless spending habits may get in the way of saving money.
• You are likely to be ill-tempered: Aquarians have a unique perspective on the world and don't appreciate it when others try to impose their views. You may clash with individuals who hold different values. Daily meditation practice can help you control your emotions and improve empathy.

Aquarius Careers

Aquarians have a humanitarian spirit and are often drawn to religious or mystical professions. While you can make a good living, you have a tendency to spend money somewhat carelessly.

Recommended careers: Anything that involves helping others or has a spiritual focus suits Aquarians well. Consider philanthropy, social reform, healing, medicine, philosophy, mysticism, religious work, or fields like law, radio, television, or maintenance.

Careers to avoid: Your contemplative attitude and inclination towards asceticism may hinder careers that require intense worldly ambition, such as entrepreneurship, executive roles, politics, acting, or competitive sports.

Aquarius Mantras

Mantras are short phrases that uplift and cleanse the mind, heart, and consciousness. By practicing mantra meditation, we can experience relief from suffering and negativity.

Aquarians can benefit from meditating with the following mantra:

ॐ वामनाय​ नमः Om kurma-devaya namaha

The Vedic wisdom texts offer a wide range of mantras customized for each person based on their unique circumstances. Additionally, some mantras are universal and beneficial for people born under any zodiac sign. One such maha-mantra, or "super mantra," is:

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
