Whoever was born under the sign of Aquarius is an Aquarian or simply Aquarius (with a lower initial letter since it is an adjective). Astrologers often affirm that these individuals are sensitive and creative, with a great imagination and an important attachment to independence .

An aquarium is a container with water where aquatic species live.
A container full of water
When aquarium comes from aquarĭum , the notion is linked to the container filled with water where aquatic plants and animals live. For example: “My grandfather has an aquarium with goldfish in his house,” “In the zoo aquarium, there are two sharks,” “I don't like aquariums: I prefer animals to live in freedom.”
Aquariums are transparent so that people can observe their interior and, in this way, appreciate the species that live there. In general, we seek to reconstruct the natural conditions where the animals reside so that they can adapt. Being a dynamic ecosystem , aquariums require various care and a lot of attention.
