Mythology
The best-known myth identifies Aquarius with Ganymede, a beautiful youth with whom Zeus fell in love, and whom he (in the guise of an eagle, represented as the constellation Aquila) carried off to Olympus to be cupbearer to the gods. Crater is sometimes identified as his cup.

Aquarius generally resembles the figure of a man, and when considering fainter humanly visible stars, it takes on the image of a man with a bucket from which is pouring a stream. Aquarius was also identified as the pourer of the waters which flooded the earth in the Great Flood, in the ancient Greek version of the myth. As such, the constellation Eridanus was sometimes identified as being a river poured out by Aquarius.

It may also, together with the constellation Pegasus, be part of the origin of the myth of the Mares of Diomedes, which forms one of The Twelve Labours of Heracles. Its association with pouring out rivers, and the nearby constellation of Capricornus, may be the source of the myth of the Augean stable, which forms another of the labours.

Astrology
Main article: Aquarius (astrology)
The Western astrological sign Aquarius of the tropical zodiac (January 20 or January 21 -to- February 18 or February 19, respectively)[1] differs from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the sidereal zodiac (February 16 - March 11).

In some cosmologies, Aquarius is associated with the classical element Air, and thus called an Air Sign (with Libra and Gemini). It is also one of the four Fixed signs (along with Leo, Scorpio, and Taurus). Its polar opposite is Leo. It is the domicile of Saturn (since its discovery Uranus has been considered Aquarius' ruling or co-ruling planet by many modern astrologers). Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Aquarius rules the circulatory system as well as the ankles. The symbol for Aquarius is the water bearer.

aquarius ummm....i dunno if u'll wanna read all of this but here it is....Those born under this Sign have the social conscience needed to carry us into the new millennium. These folks are humanitarian, philanthropic and keenly interested in making the world a better place. Along those lines, they'd like to make the world work better, which is why they focus much of their energy on our social institutions and how they work (or don't work). Aquarians are visionaries, progressive souls who love to spend time thinking about how things can be better. They are also quick to engage others in this process, which is why they have so many friends and acquaintances. Making the world a better place is a collaborative effort for Aquarians.Aquarians shower the world with their thoughts and new ideas. Luckily for Aquarians (and the rest of us), they are at a near-genius level, so their minds churn out some amazing things. Their thought process is also inventive and original. While Aquarians are happy to bestow these ideas as a gift with no strings attached, they are much happier when the rest of the world agrees with them. Naysayers will quickly find out that Aquarians can be impatient, even temperamental, with those who disagree. Yes, these folks can be quite fixed in their opinions, in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign. Even though Aquarians are happy to give, and they do, it's often on their terms and within their comfort level. Generally, that means ample space, since these folks are freedom-loving and individualistic and need to roam (and yes, they do enjoy travel). While Aquarians are generally sympathetic and compassionate, they like it when things go their own quirky way. Some might call their behavior eccentric (and they would be right), but when you consider that the Aquarian's heart is truly in the right place, a few oddities should be overlooked. In their own way, Aquarians treasure their many friends and acquaintances and want to give back as much as they can. Damn...readin urs makes me wanna read mine.anyways theres more but ur probably already bored so jus go to www.astrology.com/allaboutyou/sunsigns/aquarius.html and read the rest if u wanna anyways later

The Water Carrier
January 21 to February 19
Traditional
Aquarian Traits

Friendly and humanitarian
Honest and loyal
Original and inventive
Independent and intellectual
Sign Aquarius basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions. They are usually honest. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shillyshally as to which side to take.

Both types of Aquarius are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, and sometimes ethereal. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason and moderation.

Aquarius is nearly always intelligent, concise and logical. Many Aquarians are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive. Aquarian people have philosophical and spiritual bent.

As regards relationship, once Aquarius decides that someone is worthy of his/her friendship or love, he/she can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life. However, Aquarians are sometimes disappointed emotionally because their own high personal ideals cause them to demand more of others than it is reasonable. If Aquarius is deceived his/her anger is terrible.

If you believe be an aquarius means anything at all about who you are then your "sign" should read "gullible".
