Aquarians (January 20th – February 18th), belong to the Air element of the zodiac (along with Gemini and Libra – who they have the most romantic compatibility with, FYI).
Aquarians are ruled by Uranus, which is the planet of invention, innovation, space travel and aerodynamics. In short – they are like mad professors!
Aquarians not only want to save the world, but they’ve got the engineering and intellectual smarts to actually have a plan on how to do it too, Tells Hirav Shah, Renowned Business Astrologer & Astro-Business Strategist.
