Although the dates vary depending on the year, the Tropical zodiac sign of Aquarius typically begins on the cusp day January 20 and ends on February 18. On early Babylonian stones, the astrological symbol for Aquarius was depicted as a man or boy pouring water from a bucket or urn.Similarly, the colour that is associated with the zodiacal Aquarius is an aqueous blue. The sun locks beneath Aquarius tempers, And now the nights draw near to half the day, What time the white frost copies on the ground The outward semblance of her sister white, But little lasts the temper of her pen. —Dante Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Birthstone: Garnet, Moss Agate, Opal, Amethyst
