Is the zodiac Aquarius a water sign?

Answer 1

No it isn't,

Aquarius is the eleventh astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation Aquarius. In western Astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Aquarius is considered a "masculine", positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered an air sign and is one of four fixed signs.[9] Aquarius has been traditionally ruled by the planet Saturn, and, since its discovery, Uranus has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Being the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius is associated with the astrological 11th house.

Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Aquarius individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Aquarius roughly from January 20 to February 18.[1] Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from February 13 to March 14.[2][3]

Aquarius is NOT a water sign, but an AIR sign. The water is symbolic of knowledge, usually spiritual.

Swimming in water is using it for a different purpose to, e.g. carrying it in a container. Someone carrying water in a container need not even be able to swim.

Aquarius is the most misunderstood zodiac sign - even in the namesake.

Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Note an absence of mammals and humans. Air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Note an absence of animals.

Answer 2

No.

Aquarius is one of the three air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). It's confusing because Aquarius is called The Water Bearer.
