Aquarius (astrology)

Aquarius is an astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Aquarius. Under the tropical zodiac, Aquarius is occupied by the Sun from January 20 to February 18. Under the sidereal zodiac, Aquarius is occupied currently from February 13 to March 14. The corresponding month in the Babylonian calendar is Arax Šabaṭu "the destroying month", also called arax arrat zunne, "month of the curse of rains", associated with the Flood. It is dedicated to Ramman, the storm god. The zodiacal sign of this month was called GU = Assyrian qâ, the name of a dry-measure. This was associated with Hebrew kad "pitcher, jar", presumably in reference to the urn of Aquarius. The name Aquarius of this sign is of occidental origin, while Babylonian astrology symbolizes it with a simple amphora, in reference to the apsu (diluvial) region of the sky.
