Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of the unusual and unexpected, the weirdest planet in the solar system. Its north pole faces the Sun and its Moons spin around it backwards. As such, Uranus symbolizes the eccentric and unique things in our lives. It is associated with brilliance -- even if short-lived. And, like lightning, Uranus can release the hidden tensions suddenly and with great immediacy. In fact, Uranus is often the astrological culprit when our lives are turned upside-down. As the key planet of Aquarius, it encourages us to rebel against social injustices and to seek freedom of expression in our lives.
Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn, the planet of planning and wisdom. This may help to explain why one Aquarius person seems to enjoy chaotic surroundings, and another Aquarius seems to be a bit more elegant and refined.
