Aquarius is said to represent Ganymedes, son of Callirhoe, the most beautiful of mortals, who was carried to heaven by an eagle to act as cupbearer to Jupiter. According to other accounts, however, it is Deucalion, son of Prometheus, who was translated to heaven in memory of the mighty deluge from which only he and Pyrrha were saved.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ptolemy makes the following observations: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe stars in the shoulders of Aquarius operate like Saturn and Mercury (profound liar, thief, blackguard, scandal and slander); those in the left hand and in the face do the same; those in the thighs have an influence more consonant with that of Mercury, and to a lesser degree with that of Saturn (subtle, studious, keen and profound mind, often shameless liar, interested in occult or serious subjects); those in the stream of water have power similar to that of Saturn, and moderately to that of Jupiter (dignified, pious, conservative, acquisitive, retentive; Honor and preferment if culminating.)\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By the Kabalists Aquarius is associated with the Hebrew letter Nun and the 14th Tarot Trump \u201cTemperance,\u201d over which virtue the constellation appears to have some rule. The beauty of Ganymedes and his flight through the air also link it to the ideas of personal charm and aviation with which it is certainly connected.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All the watery shapes in the early heavens, with Argo and Crater, are in this neighborhood; some of whose stars Aratos said \u201care called the Water\u201d; indeed in Euphratean astronomy this region of the sky was “the Sea”, and thought to be under the control of Aquarius.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The constellation immemorially has been represented, even on very early Babylonian stones, as a man, or boy, pouring water from a bucket or urn, with an appropriate towel in the left hand, the human figure sometimes being omitted; while the Arabians, who knew of the latter but did not dare to show it, depicted a mule carrying two water-barrels; and again simply a water-bucket\u2026On a Roman zodiac it was a Peacock, the symbol of Juno, the Greek Hera (another constellation Pavo is the peacock), in whose month Gamelion \u2014 January-February \u2014 the sun was in the sign; and at times it has been shown as a Goose, another bird sacred to that goddess.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A man pouring forth water from an urn which seems to have an inexhaustible supply, and which flows forth downwards into the mouth of a fish, which drinks it all.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the ancient Zodiac of Denderah it is the same idea, though the man holds two urns, and the fish below seems to have come out of the urn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aquarius is the modern Latin name by which the sign is known, and has the same meaning, the pourer forth of water.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
