The Constellation Aquarius
Astrological transit period: January 21st - February 19th ♒︎Astronomical transit period: February 16th - March 12th
Aquarius is an extensive but inconspicuous constellation in the autumnal sky, located south of Pegasus. Only two of its stars shine brighter than magnitude 3. The sun is in Aquarius from February 16th to March 12th of each year.
Although Aquarius is not a conspicuous constellation, it is considered one of the oldest known constellations. For ancient people, it must have held great significance as a calendar sign: When the sun moved into Aquarius, it marked the time of the rainy season, which is likely where its name comes from. Several constellations in the area—such as Pisces, Cetus, Pisces, and Delphinus—also have a connection to water.
