The old books say
Aquarius, January 20 to February 18.
The Water-Bearer, which is an air sign, and the books enjoy the confusion. Ruled by Saturn in the old texts and Uranus in the new, credited with originality, a wide circle and a certain coolness at the centre of it — the friend of everyone, intimate of few. Its people are supposed to be ahead of their time, which is only comfortable once the time catches up. The tradition calls it the sign of the future and cannot say whose.
Astrology, reported rather than endorsed — the astronomy is the part of the book that is real.
