Element: Air Quality: Fixed Ruling Planets: Uranus/Saturn Ruling House: Eleventh
Positive Traits and Talents
Ruled by the 11th house, Aquarius deals with friendships and how we find harmony with others.
Your Aquarian friend enjoys getting together for enjoyable activities but when life gets serious, they will be willing to lend a hand. You can count on them to come up with original ideas for solving problems.
They are the true humanitarians of the Zodiac and are always willing to fight for a just cause and enjoy intellectual conversations about the state of the world.
Aquarians aren't afraid to address issues head-on. They appreciate honesty and prefer straightforward communication.
Aquarius Challenges
Logical thinkers, the water carrier often puts logic over emotions which can make them appear detached and uncaring.
Aquarians challenge rules and norms, which can make them somewhat rebellious! This tendency to go against the grain can lead to problems in relationships as they don’t always consider how their actions affect others.
This Zodiac sign does not like being bored and they often seek out new experiences. A quick change in interests and behavior can make others feel unsure about where they stand.

What is an Aquarian's Design Style?
Aquarians don't want much. Just a space that is modern, unique, colorful, interesting, bright and artistic!
Aquarius is a fixed sign of air, so they prefer an uncluttered space with enough room to move. Their love of freedom is expressed in the home, so there will be plenty of windows and nothing clogging up entrances and exits – they don’t want to feel trapped.
In astrology, Aquarius rules the ankles, calves, shins, and circulatory system. Just as Aquarius connects Earth to air/space, the ankles connect the upper body to the feet. So, give them lots of room to dance!
If you want a better feel for what this airy sign’s design style might be like, think of our feathered friends. Birds spend a lot of time in the air, looking down and enjoying an assortment of colors. Aquarians love things to feel fresh and lively and will enjoy a variety of different colors, patterns, and textures. Of all the signs, Aquarians are more likely to treat every room individually, with a different main color and corresponding colors in each room.
Air is considered more Yang than Yin, so for furniture, you’ll notice mostly sharp lines and distinct shapes. Think triangles, squares, and rectangles with a few Yin-like artistic items with rounded corners.
When they cook dinner for you, you can expect a meal mixed with tangy flavors. You’ll dine on contemporary but comfortable dining chairs and a glass or metal-topped table. A turquoise sideboard adorned with colorful vases holds the modern dinnerware and unique flatware.
Air signs rule electricity, and Aquarians like to be surrounded by plenty of lighting and technology.
Last but not least, air signs want a home that is comfortable, private, and intimate. They also want to charm guests when they enter their abode. Air signs want everything to smell fresh and clean. You may notice the scent of fresh pine, peppermint, or vanilla when you enter a room.
An Aquarian Table Setting
In Astrology, Aquarius is represented as the “water bearer”, a human figure pouring water from a jar. The water carrier stands for the pouring of ideas and knowledge and a humanitarian spirit.
To celebrate the water bearer, we chose a centerpiece of assorted water pitchers. Aquarians love vibrancy and variety, so we opted for pitchers in bright colors and crisp whites, in a trio of sizes. Blue, turquoise, and sea green are the preferred colors of the Aquarian. Our table setting features beautiful blue glassware alongside a playful cup and saucer in turquoise and sea green.
Astrologers believe copper can bring positive energy to Aquarians. Copper is considered a lucky metal for the water bearer and since they value originality and are drawn to unique things, we chose Sundance flatware to complete this place setting. This artisan flatware design features European-style 3-pronged forks and round handles. A warm antique copper finish on the slim handles is the perfect contrast to the cooling blue hues of the blue and white plates.
Could your table settings use an upgrade? Look to the stars for inspiration! A new handcrafted copper silverware set can instantly elevate your dining experience. If you're unsure which artisan flatware set is right for you, why not learn more about your zodiac sign? You might be surprised at how well it reflects your tastes and preferences.
Whether you’re shopping for an Aquarius friend or looking for a copper flatware set for your own home, our artisan-made silverware has something to suit every sign.
