Who actually aquarius.

Aquarius is an astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Aquarius. Under the tropical zodiac, Aquarius is occupied by the Sun from January 20 to February 19. Under the sidereal zodiac, Aquarius is occupied currently from February 13 to March 14.

The corresponding month in the Babylonian calendar is Arax Šabaṭu "the destroying month", also called arax arrat zunne, "month of the curse of rains", associated with the Flood. It is dedicated to Ramman, the storm god. The zodiacal sign of this month was called GU = Assyrian qâ, the name of a dry-measure. This was associated with Hebrew kad "pitcher, jar", presumably in reference to the urn of Aquarius. The name Aquarius of this sign is of occidental origin, while Babylonian astrology symbolizes it with a simple amphora, in reference to the apsu (diluvial) region of the sky.

In mythology Aquarius is often associated with the mythological figure of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, from the Greek myth of the Trojan War.[citation needed] Aquarius is also associated with the Greco-Roman god Uranus/Caelus and sometimes the god Cronus/Saturn.[citation needed] In Grecian mythology, Aquarius is the constellation that was once Ganymede, cupbearer of the gods.
