Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, is the eleventh sign of the zodiac. This intellectual and unorthodox sign is ruled by Saturn and Uranus (sudden changes; unexpected upheavals). The key phrase for Aquarius is "I know".
Saturn, considered the great malefic, harbinger of stasis and disease and also the planet of structure and reality, is the traditional ruler of Aquarius. This is the sign of deep intellect and the struggle for freedom from restriction. Aquarius is often emotionally detached.
The new-age ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, planet of eccentrics and the unorthodox. Aquarians express Uranian qualities by being unpredictable, determined and stubborn. Aquarians consequently favour the unique, as well as the traditional. They often adopt lifestyles and ideas that run counter to current trends. They are unorthodox, passionate, investigative & conscious of human abilities.
The appearance of calmness is deceptive, as they are often nervous and apprehensive. Women of this sign often exaggerate their problems to the point of getting ill.
Aquarius Rules the Ankles
Each sign has an external, internal and structural rulership. Externally this sign rules the calves, tibia and ankles. Internally, Sun in Aquarius rules the circulation, breath and eyesight; structurally, the bones of the lower limbs. It is closely associated with the blood and circulation, with a tendency toward impure blood.
The pathological action of Aquarius is towards nervousness, gloom and sensitivity leading to habits and fixed ideas that make disease persist and linger. Aquarians are prone to varicose veins, hypertension and heart problems.
Aquarius rules shins, ankles, and the circulatory system, while cramps, allergies, sudden illness and freak accidents are common for those with Aquarius active in their charts. They may also suffer from various nervous disorders.
Colors of Aquarius
Aquarius rules the colours silver, aqua and purple, as well as the new neon shades of pink and blue. Aquarian people also respond well to the energy-boosting ray of red.

Regular breathing exercises, like yoga and ch'i kung are vital to keep the blood pure and prevent gloom and oversensitivity due to unregulated breath.
