This AQUARIUS season, here are 7 traits of the zodiac sign you never knew

Come January 20th, the Aquarius season begins. The eleventh astrological sign in the Zodiac has the symbol of the water-bearer. Uranus is the ruling planet of this sign and Amethyst, Garnet and Amber are the birthstones of this sign. 

Some of the popular celebrities who belong to this zodiac sign are Abhishek Bachchan, Urmila Matondkar, Sushant Singh Rajput, Preity Zinta, Shruti Hassan, Jackie Shroff, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Isla Fisher and Kerry Washington. 

People belonging to this air-based star sign are deep thinkers who love to solve problems - theirs and others. Some of their other qualities include:

You are an extremist

It may sound like a good quality to have, but when you need to prove a point, you do it all the way or nothing at all. You hate being told what to do and even if you are told what to you, you end up doing things your way anyway. 

You are not afraid to stand up for yourself

You are kind, nice and compassionate but that does not make you a rug that people can walk all over you. Sure, confrontation gives you the jitters, but that doesn't mean you can't stand up for yourself when you have to. 

You're not tied down

You love your independence and freedom. Yes, you have your group of close-knit friends but hanging out with them from time-to-time doesn't mean that you take away from your own downtime. 

People can lean on you

You are the best friend anybody can have. Trustworthy, loyal, always by your side, you will always stick with people through thick or thin if they mean something to you. You are a great listener as well, which makes you a great advice giver too. A one and all kind of person!

You have a terrible temper

You are known as the calm and composed on, at most times. But when people provoke you, you don't stop yourself from unleashing your anger. And it is not pretty. All of those emotions and feelings you have been keeping inside will let loose and there is no stopping the damage you will cause then. 

You're smart and you know it

You don't need to be constantly praised or reminded of your good qualities. You know what you're good at and work towards being the best version of yourself. You are always seeking knowledge and think outside the box. Books don't quite do it for you. 

You always see the best in others

You always believe in people and try to see the best in others. People might think you are naive, but that only means that you want to see the better version of the other person. But once they mess with you, you are done with them.
