Aquarius is the 11th (or 12th, if you count Ophiuchus) sign of the Western Zodiac. Aquarius is the water carrier, based off of a beautiful young man, the son of a king. While tending 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).
