Aquarius in Jyotish
Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac, 30° from 300° to 330° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a air sign, fixed (sthira), and ruled by Saturn. In the body of the Kalapurusha, the cosmic person whose body is the zodiac, it is the calves and ankles.
0°–20° of Aquarius is the moolatrikona of Saturn.
A fixed sign holds on and endures; a air sign is communicative and mobile. As your lagna or Moon sign, Aquarius colours the whole chart with these qualities and with the nature of Saturn.
