As an Aquarius born on February 17th, your personality is characterized by a romanticism, impulsiveness, and charm. A romantic at heart, above all, you enjoy giving and receiving love. As a result of this quality, you have had many close relationships, but your impulsiveness makes it easy for you to fall in and out of love. Socially, you display the same warmth and passion. Your innate charm and mystery has earned you many admirers. You would be surprised to know that even your closest friends still find you a bit mysterious.

Air is your sign's paired element and of all the zodiac signs, you have the only fixed connection with the element. Your special relationship with air allows you to take on the qualities of forceful wind, determined and stubborn. Much like the other air signs, you witness gentle breezes of curiosity stirring within your being. When something sparks your interest, you push towards understanding and knowledge. While air's active qualities are an asset, you must be aware of air's stagnant influences, which include bouts of aloofness and emotional distance.

Uranus is the ruling planet of the Aquarius, but as you were born in the third Decan, or part, of the sign, Venus lends you a generous amount of its planetary power as well. While Uranus, the planet of deviation, is linked to your free spirit and individuality, it is Venus's influence that links to your sociability and appreciation of beauty. Your unique combination of planetary influences makes you more sensitive than any of the Aquarius Decans. This quality allows you express love for family and close friends unconditionally with great passion. If you had one downfall, it would be that your passion makes you think before you act at times. While keeping interest will always be a challenge in your life, embrace your spontaneity as it will bring you many worthwhile experiences.
