Aquarius belongs to a group of constellations that the Sun appears to travel through each year. Spring is a good time of the year for those of us who live north of the equator to see this constellation.
The myths of ancient greece probably identified Aquarius as Ganymede, a young boy kidnapped by Zeus. Ganymede would become the cupbearer for the Olympian gods.
Many of the stars that make up Aquarius have names that refer to good luck. This is most likely due to the time of year when the Sun would rise in Aquarius. It happened to be at the same time when the rainy season began in the Middle East.
There are three globular clusters in Aquarius that may be viewed through a small telescope. The planetary nebula, named the Saturn Nebula, is there as well as the Helix Nebula, located directly east of the "foot".

There is no "star" called "Aquraos."
There is a constellation called "Aquarius," which covers many degrees of area in the sky.
No stars or planets, however, have anything to do with your personality, the events in your life, or anything else. That's "astrology" not astronomy. It's a bunch of ancient myths put together by ignorant ancient people who thought thunder was god being angry, the sun was a god, and didn't know what the planets or stars were. It's been proven to be absolutely and completely useless as a predictor for anything thousands of times over.
Peace.

Before I get to the technical end of Aquarius.
About you: You are kind and friendly, the life of the party, the center of attention and if your not, you go out of your way to make sure that you are, you make friends easily, you have a brilliant and quick mind, you are very intelligent. And the opposite if not both sexes just fall at your feet. Underneath all the charm, you really are insecure, and you cover this up by being so wonderful and charasmatic. You fall easily into habits that do not serve you, such as excessive behaviors smoking, drinking, partying etc... you seem to somehow always get yourself into situations, infact, sometimes you find yourself going so over the top at times that you even scare yourself.
Your Zodiac, Horoscope, Astrology signs or Sun sign is Aquarius.There are 12 zodiac signs in astrology. Which means, the sun travels around the earth once each year. Within the space of that year the Sun moves through all twelve of the zodiac signs. The sun spends about a month in each sign. The sign Aquarius is the sign that the Sun was transiting at the time of your birth. So, your Sun sign is Aquarius. The position of the Sun in your birth chart governs your individuality, your distinctive style, and your drive to fulfill your goals in life. Many believe, that a persons characteristics may be found in the study of your Sun sign.
Aquarius: Born between Jan 20th - Feb 18th
Duality - Masculine sign
Element - Air sign
Quality - Fixed
Your most likeable trait: FRIENDLINESS
Your the eleventh sign of the zodiac. you are original, and refuse to follow the crowd. You like being different. Intellectual independence is your most marked characteristic. You think boredom is a communicable disease and take every opportunity to avoid it. You live most intensely in your mind. You seek knowledge, and have a gift for vision. You are objective in judgement and don't let emotion get in your way. You care about the way of the world, yet don't get to involved. Independence is your way of life, and you will sacrifice even a close personal relationship in order to maintian it. No one can fence you in or tie you down at any cost. Your ambition is to do something important and meaningful. You are creative, but hard work doesn't interest you. Your main interest is in creating the ideas and letting others translate it into action. Your weakness is to inflate your own importance, to pose as an expert on any subject. Your determination to not be like anyone else that you are sometimes contrary just to be different. your broad minded about the faults of others, yet you take for granted that your shortcomings will be over looked. You are argumentive simply because you enjoy the intellecual exercise. You are quickly bored and take delight in verbally provoking anyone you consider stodgy and dull. Nevertheless, you are among the kindest people in the world. Easygoing, reasonable, slow to take offense, never meanhearted, you believe in live-and-let-live. Your honest, helpful, altruistic, and best of all never boring, you can change anyone's life for the better just by becoming part of it.
Now it's up to you, and only you to decide if this in anyway fits the discription of who you feel you come close to being like. The stars have been here for eons... and the charactoristics will remain the same throughout the centuries to come... just as they always have. The information about each individual will change with the times, however, the charactoristics will remain. An Aquarius now will be Aquarius always. There are many more elements that make up the Horoscope of who we are, however, I don't have time to write the book here and now, or use up any more of this arena.
This is just a drop in the bucket of information for Aquarius for me to be able to tell you about you.

When astrologers tell you that you were born under a particular Sun sign, they are wrong. The zodiac they are using is about 2000 years old. Due to a process called precession, which is a 26,000 year wobble in the Earth's axis of rotation, the dates of the zodiac have changed. Everyone has the Sun sign before the one the astrologers say they have. You might think your sign is Aquarius but in fact it is Capricorn.
