Welcome the weird and the wonderful: It’s Aquarius season!
Aquarius rules the skies and rides the lightning from Jan. 29 until Feb. 18. People born under this star sign tend to be unconventional, intellectual, and idealistic.
Aquarius is governed by two very different luminaries: structured, time-worshipping Saturn and incendiary, shock-and-awe Uranus. Together, they create the archetype of the constructive agitator who understands, as my friend Jonny sings, that freedom takes discipline.
Take a peek at our list of famous Aquarius celebrities!
Evan Peters
Aquarius actor Evan Peters was born on January 20th, making him a card-carrying Aquarius like his famous ex, Emma Roberts.
Alicia Keys
“No One” singer and advocate of a make-up-free face, Alicia Keys, was born on January 25th. Keys is a triple Aquarius with her sun, Mercury, and Venus falling in the sign of the water bearer.
Ellen DeGeneres
Talk-show titan Ellen DeGeneres was born on January 26, 1958, making her a revolutionary Aquarius sun with a warrior-hearted Aries moon.
How did a closeted Christian Scientist kid from a New Orleans suburb grow up to become an LGBTQ+ pioneer and the richest comedian in the world? A birth chart chock full of IDGAF, that’s how.

Oprah Winfrey
Aquarius rules the 11th house of community, networking, social justice, and collaboration. Aquarians tend to make and spread money through their connections. As the most socially minded member of the zodiac, they believe that wealth should be shared and prosperity is a platform for humanitarian pursuits.
Enter Aquarian Oprah “You get a car!” Winfrey, born on January 29th, who’s known for her charitable donations and ceaseless promotion of others.
Christian Bale
Lauded actor Christian Bale was born on January 30th. Known as much for his passionate method acting as for his on-set outbursts, Bale’s dedication to art and the art of being unhinged can be attributed to his Mars in Taurus.
Kerry Washington
“Scandal” actress Kerry Washington was born on January 31st. She has called herself a “textbook Aquarius,” telling W Magazine, “Aquarians are typically humanitarian. We like to help people and kind of serve the world. We are very loving and compassionate, but also some might say flaky, hard to nail down, can be a bit indecisive because we like to belong to the world and be available for whatever magic might unfold at a given moment.”
Justin Timberlake
Born January 31, 1981, Justin Timberlake’s big three consist of a sun in visionary Aquarius, a moon in free-wheeling, pirate-hearted Sagittarius, and an ascendant in adoration hungry, all the world’s a stage Leo. With an abundance of fortunate placements and air sign adaptability, Timberlake’s birth chart shows he knows how to play the game, if not when to keep his mouth shut.
Harry Styles
Born February 1, 1994, HRH Harry Styles is a future-forward, star-spangled space alien Aquarius with his sun, Mercury, Mars, and Venus all in the sign of the water bearer. His moon, the feelings battery of the birth chart, is in charming, score-keeping Libra.
This sun and moon combination means that Styles is a double air sign, big on the cerebral, objective about the emotional, generally interested in exchange with a tendency to overidentify with or invest too heavily in how he is perceived by his partners and the world at large.
Shakira
All hail Shakira—the multitalented apex Aquarius and global phenomenon with the truth-telling hips and jam jar sleuthing skills. The she-wolf was delivered unto us on February 2nd.
Bob Marley
Aquarius is the sign of community, activism, and ideals, and reggae is closely tied to the Rastafari movement, which rose to prominence in Jamaica in the 1930’s.
As much a philosophy as a sound, reggae music is rooted in the Rasta tenets of social justice and mystical consciousness.
Bob Marley, the most notable reggae artist of all time, was born on February 6, making him a card-carrying, denim-sporting, free-loving, ganga-billowing, water-bearing prophet for the ages.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Aquarius sports star, uber babe, and bearer of sculpted jaws and eyebrows, Cristiano Ronaldo, was born on February 5th.
Chris Rock
Comedian Chris Rock was born on February 7th. Aquarians like Rock are noted for marching to the beat of their own drummer, going their own way, and storming out of billionaire holiday parties if the vibes are off.
Tom Hiddleston
“Loki” star and a named number of T. Swift’s body count, Tom Hiddleston, was born on February 9th. Aquarians are known to sway a crowd and, in the case of Hiddleston, even bring an audience to orgasm.
Michael B. Jordan
“Black Panther” actor and “Sexiest Man Alive” alumni Michael B. Jordan was born on Feb. 9, 1987, making him a visionary Aquarius sun with an emo AF Cancer moon.
Yara Shahidi
Aquarius actress Yara Shahidi was born on Feb. 10. A proud ambassador of her zodiac sign, she routinely posts water bearer centric content on TikTok.
Uzo Aduba
“Orange Is the New Black” scene stealer Uzo Aduba was born on February 10th. She counts her mother and fellow water bearer, Oprah Winfrey, as her role models.
Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts, born on February 10, 1991 is a triple Aquarius with her sun, Mercury, and Saturn all riding high on the extra-terrestrial waves of the water bearer.
Jennifer Aniston
Aquarius Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969. Water-bearing folk are known for starting rather than following trends, and Aniston is no exception. From her ubiquitous “Rachel” haircut to the viral “Friends” salad she allegedly ate every single day for a decade, our girl is nothing if not a cultural bellwether.
Kelly Rowland
This “Destiny’s Child” alum was born unto us on February 11th. Aquarius rules the eleventh house of community, and the sign has a reputation for emotional objectivity.
True to these governing principles, Rowland has shared, “I wanna see everybody win. I wanna see everybody be great. And that’s genuine with every fiber of my being. So when you don’t want that for me, holla! It’s like you never existed.”
Respect.
Megan Thee Stallion
Born February 15, 1995, with the given name Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, Megan’s birth chart shows us she is an avant-garde Aquarius sun with a grind and shine Leo moon.
Ruled by structured planet Saturn and Uranus punk rock planet of disruption, Aquarius suns ride the line between maintaining the status quo and utterly upending it.
Clearly, our girl Megan, with her incendiary fashion, searing lyrics, and generally delightful IDGAF energy, is the latter kind of water bearer. Yet, her ability to prioritize higher education alongside creating and disseminating chart-topping hits indicates the dual rulership of her sun sign.
The Weeknd
The “I Can’t Feel My Face” singer was born on February 16th.
Not so much people as personas, Aquarians make for excellent cult leaders and creative directors.
The Weeknd’s public and private selves are two very different animals, a dichotomy in keeping with his air sign energy and described by the man in question as: “Abel is someone I go home to every night. And The Weeknd is someone I go to work as.”
Elizabeth Olsen
Elizabeth Olsen, born February 16th, is a TRIPLE Aquarisu with her sun, Mercury, and Venus all falling under the sign of the water bearer.
Michael Jordan
Ruled by Uranus, the sideways spinning planet of revolution, it tracks that a water bearer like Michael Jordan, born February 17th, would forever change the game of basketball. In keeping with the zero f–ks, no boundaries ethos of his sun sign it also tracks that Jordan would make a fearless foray into baseball.
Ed Sheeran
Born February 17, 1991, Ed Sheeran is an Aquarius sun with a fire-breathing, war, and winning Aries moon.
The British songbird admits that being teased as a child for possessing the bully-baiting trifecta of having red hair, glasses, and a stutter was a painful but ultimately formative experience that helped shape him into the artist and proud carrot top he is today.

Paris Hilton
Born Feb. 17, 1981, Paris Hilton is an avant-garde Aquarius with a limelight-loving Leo Moon. I consider Aquarians proof positive that life exists on other planets as these folks are undoubtedly space aliens sent from a galaxy far, far away, where cheekbones are high, humanitarian ideals are prized, and emotions are kept in glass containers.
Here on Earth, they inhabit worlds of their own making, as Hilton did for her 2021 wedding to Carter Reum, curating a “Paris World” carnival for guests at the Santa Monica Pier.
