Aquarius, the Water Carrier, is the 11th (or 12th, if you count Ophiuchus) sign of the Western Zodiac. Aquarius is based off of Ganymede, a beautiful young man and the son of the king of Troy. While Ganymede tended sheep, Zeus saw him, turned into a large bird, and carried him off into the heavens to serve as cupbearer to the gods.

This tag should be used for things directly concerning the sign Aquarius. Typically, this will be some sort of personification: a beautiful young being, carrying a jug of water.

The symbol of Aquarius is two parallel lines, that zig and zag up and down like waves. ♒ Images containing the astrological symbol of Aquarius should be tagged Aquarius_(symbol).
