Aquarius Style

Known as "The Water Bearer" and ruler of the 11th house of the zodiac, the native Aquarius is typically described as progressive, eccentric, forward-looking, quirky and unique. Although the 11th sign represents the Zodiac's house of collective consciousness, humanitarianism, groups and organizations, the typical Aquarius tends to be very individualistic. As an Air sign (Air represents intelligence, communication and the mind), their "individualistic" flare stems from a consciousness that is ahead of their time. Most Aquarians tend to have very futuristic views on how we all should function as a collective. At times, an Aquarius can be a bit overwhelming, especially for people that are very traditional. Yet, they always seem to get even the most stale traditionalist thinking. As the world changes and old outdated systems and traditions come to an end, you'll usually find an Aquarius or an Aquarius rising leading the charge for change.

You'll certainly see an Aquarian's progressive tendencies in the style of their home. I am an Aquarius rising, so I know this to be especially true. Throughout the home you'll see very contemporary styling juxtaposed with traditional elements. Aquarians tend to love the contrast. It is a constant reminder of our transition into the future. You'll also find lots of technical gadgets, most having to do with communication. Here are a few examples of Aquarian décor:

Aquarians typically love the color Turquoise. Note the contrast of modernity in styling and tradition in materials.

Here is a traditionally styled room with quirky colors. If an Aquarius goes traditional, there will be something that makes it very different.

This is a great Aquarius bedroom. It's very contemporary and simple, yet, cozy. The Aquarius is one of the two signs that can actually benefit from having a TV in the bedroom. The other is the fellow Air sign, Gemini.
