Aquarius is the most unconventional Zodiac sign, mostly thanks to being ruled by Uranus, the planet of change and what's different.

Aquarius rules the future, and is constantly focused on the future. This isn't just standard long-term; Aquarius can look forward many generations, hundreds and thousands of years into the future, and decades into its own life.

Aquarius can interact well with others in many ways, both in person and online. Aquarius likes having a variety of friends and acquaintances.

Aquarius in Astrology: Cold
When not manifesting well, Aquarius can be the coldest of the Zodiac signs. Aquarius can live in its head and in the future, and while it loves lots of friends, they can be superficial connections.
