The New Year is well and truly behind us, which can only mean one thing: it’s the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
Aquarius season is here, meaning that those born between January 20 and February 18 are at their fore for the next few weeks.
But which famous faces will be celebrating their birthdays during the season?
Here are some of the most high-profile Aquarians, and how they live up to their star sign.
What are Aquarius traits?
Ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation, eccentric and creative.
Some may call them weird or quirky, but this doesn’t bother them – they proudly march to the beat of their own drum.
As well as being unique and elusive individuals, Aquarians are social campaigners at heart.
They’re ruled by Uranus, the planet of disruption and revolution, and so stop at nothing to stand up for the disenfranchised and make positive changes to our society.
In one sentence, Aquarius are rebels with a cause.
Which celebrities are Aquarius?

Eccentric? Double-check.

No one, no one, no one is more proud of their star sign than Alicia Keys.
Last year, Alicia tweeted a sweet birthday message to fellow Aquarius Kerry Washington: ‘My Aquarius sister!! There are few I can say the connection is so pure and real! That the phone is answered on the first ring and the way we think is so aligned! It must be an Aquarius thing!! So blessed to know you beautiful sis!! Happy born day!! Here’s to many many more!!!’
