Personality traits of Aquarius

Visionary mindset

Aquarians think outside of the box. They are often likened to visionaries because of their ability to “see and work toward futures others can’t yet imagine,” as Kamson puts it. “This presents as an endless curiosity and drive to create, innovate and elevate,” she adds. “They’re not satisfied with the status quo – they need to bring change.”

Authenticity

Aquarians are also known for their authenticity. They are genuine – and unapologetically so. “Kerry Washington exemplifies this beautifully, championing her political beliefs and passionately supporting her favourite charities with an unshakeable commitment,” Kamson says. Even when Aquarians are eccentric, they let these eccentricities shine through. In fact, they celebrate their differences. “Aquarians aren’t afraid to let their quirks and values shine, often taking pride in their unique tastes – whether in music, fashion or convictions,” Kamson says. “This fierce individuality is magnetic; they’re the friend who shows up in an outfit that makes everyone else question their own wardrobe choices and stands up for causes that inspire everyone around them.”

Humanitarian heart

Aquarians are natural givers. “Aquarians are the philanthropists of the zodiac, often seen championing causes close to their hearts,” says Kamson. “Whether it’s animal rights or fighting for equality, they’re the ones organising protests or signing petitions before most people have even checked their morning emails.”

Weaknesses of Aquarius

Detached or aloof

While Aquarians love other people, they can sometimes come across as a little aloof. “Aquarians can sometimes feel removed from personal emotions,” says Kamson. “This is the friend who, when you’re sharing a heartfelt story, offers a practical solution instead of empathy. They mean well but often forget to connect on that heart level.”

Stubborn streak

Sometimes, an Aquarian’s intellectual side can veer into stubbornness. They might prove to be a little too steadfast in their beliefs. Kamson says, “Once they have an idea, they’re not easily swayed. This can manifest as a refusal to compromise or an insistence on doing things their way, even if there’s a simpler route.”

Impatient with routine

Aquarians are not accustomed to sticking to much structure. They thrive when they’re able to be creative and innovative. In other words, routines are not their friend. “This impatience can lead them to abandon projects halfway if they feel too restrictive,” Kamson notes. “Saturn’s influence might kick in eventually, urging them back to finish, but the interim can be chaotic.”
