Aquarius (Kumbha)
Aquarius (Kumbha) is a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn and symbolised by a person carrying a water pot. It stands for humanity, ideas, networks, service and independent thinking.
Also known as: kumbh rashi, kumbh
Kumbha thinks about the many. Its natives tend to be original, principled and quietly humane, drawn to science, technology, social causes and community. They value freedom and fairness and make steadfast friends. Detachment and stubborn idealism are the other side of its gifts.
Aquarius is the calves of Kalapurusha, and as the 11th sign it mirrors the house of gains and friendship. Its first 20° are Saturn’s moolatrikona, and Rahu is often treated as its co-ruler. No planet is exalted or debilitated here. The second half of Dhanishta, all of Shatabhisha and the first three padas of Purva Bhadrapada fall in Aquarius.
For Aquarius rising, Venus rules the 4th and 9th houses and is the yogakaraka. As a Moon sign, Aquarius gives a reflective, independent mind. The Sun moves through sidereal Aquarius from about 13 February to 14 March.
