Oh, Aquarians. You intense, aloof intellectuals. There’s something very mysterious about this air sign, but a quick read-through of Aquarius quotes can give you all kinds of insight into the “water bearers” of your life. Ruled by the planet Uranus, the planet of innovation and revolution, Aquarians are the rebels of the zodiac. Got an Aquarian kid? Then we probably don’t have to tell you that twice. But, listen, Aquarians may be tricky, but they’re also some of the coolest, most charming people you can have in your life. Born trailblazers and big visionaries, they are often passionate about building a new world that changes humanity for the better. Think Rosa Parks, Thomas Edison, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Oprah Winfrey — they’re all Aquarians!

Not surprisingly, Aquarians like to break the rules and shake things up a bit. They’re not afraid to go after what they truly want, especially if it means they’re doing things they want to do in the way they want to do them. Social and innately curious, Aquarians are fascinating conversationalists and even better problem-solvers. Because they lead mostly with logic and intellect, they’re able to remove their emotions from a heated situation. While they’re often accused of being a little cool and detached, don’t let their lone wolf act fool you. When Aquarians love, they love hard and love deeply. As symbolized by the water bearer, which brings water to the parched masses, the sign of Aquarius genuinely cares for the well-being of others. And that’s why we love the sign Aquarius!

If you’re looking to learn more about this freedom-loving sign, want to feel inspired by their maverick ways, or need a little help figuring out how to parent an Aquarian, you’ll definitely feel ready to take on the world (or your strong-willed toddler) with these Aquarius quotes. All of which are about Aquarius, by an Aquarius, or both.
