Signs (rashis)
Aquarius (Kumbha) in Vedic astrology
Kumbha, the water-pot, is the eleventh sign: 300°–330° of the sidereal zodiac, a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn. It is the sign of society, ideals, science, networks and service to many.

The nature of Aquarius
Aquarius is air that holds steady: fixed ideas, principles, long-term causes. Saturn rules it but in a more humane, intellectual way than in Capricorn — research, reform, communities and work for the common good. The pot pours water for everyone, which is why Kumbha is linked with giving and with the Kumbh Mela. No planet is exalted or debilitated here.
Aquarius ascendant and Aquarius Moon
An Aquarius ascendant gives an independent, thoughtful, sometimes unconventional person who values friendship and principle. Venus, ruling the 4th and 9th, is the yoga karaka; Saturn rules the 1st and 12th. An Aquarius Moon is detached and humane, and needs a cause and a circle of like-minded people.
Aquarius in a chart
The house that holds Aquarius is where you think in systems and act for the group. For people with the Moon in Aquarius, Saturn's Sade Sati ends when Saturn enters Aries on 2 June 2027 (sidereal, JyotiSoft calculation; it briefly returns to Pisces from 20 October 2027 to 23 February 2028).
The eleventh sign of the natural zodiac echoes the 11th house: gains, friends, the fulfilment of wishes.
Nakshatras in Aquarius
Aquarius holds the second half of Dhanishta, all of Shatabhisha (the hundred healers) and the first three padas of Purva Bhadrapada (spiritual fire).
