As the year moves on towards March, Pisces season, we can take the opportunity to look back on Aquarius season. This season began on January 20th, drew to a close on February 19th. Aquariuses are known for their creativity, originality, and independent nature, as well as for being shy and quiet, but also friendly. So, why not have a look back at some of the most well-known faces whom you may not have realised belong to this unique zodiac, and see if you can spot any Aquarius traits in these celebrities!

Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres is perhaps best known for presenting her talk show of the same name, but she’s also an actress, comedian, and a writer. In fact, her wide range of talents led her to receive the Golden Globes Carol Burnett Lifetime Achievement Award just 3 weeks before 62nd birthday this year, which comes six days into the Aquarius timeline on the 26th January.

Oprah Winfrey

Another Aquarius talk-show host, Oprah Winfrey hosted her renowned talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show from 1986-2011. She’s also an actress, and has starred in films like 2014’s Selma and in the award-winning TV series The Handmaid’s Tale. But she’s also an Aquarius, and celebrated her 66th birthday on 29th January.

Justin Timberlake

Formerly of N-Sync, Timberlake showcased a clear Aquarius trait by becoming an independent artist. He is now considered to be a staple of the music industry as a solo artist, thanks to timeless hits like Cry Me A River and the more recent Can’t Stop The Feeling! He turned 39 on the 31st January.

Harry Styles

The former One Direction member turned solo singer, Harry Styles, was born on 1st February 1994. After finding fame on the X Factor back in 2010, he is now recognised worldwide for his group and solo work, including his 2017 hit Sign of the Times. He released his second solo album, Fine Line, at the end of last year, and will be touring to promote the album throughout 2020.

Shakira

You may think this stunning Colombian superstar never seems to age, despite rising to fame way back in the early 2000’s, and celebrating her 43rd birthday on 2nd February this year. Throughout her illustrious career, she’s released internationally acclaimed hits such as 2006’s Hips Don’t Lie and Waka Waka, which was used to promote the 2010 football world cup. Her latest album, El Dorado, was released in 2017, and this month she performed with Jennifer Lopez for the Super Bowl LIV halftime show.

Cristiano Ronaldo

You may already know Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the most renowned football players of all time, but you may not know his birthday makes him well and truly an Aquarius too. The Juventus forward and Portuguese team captain celebrated his 35th birthday on 5th February this year.

Jacksepticeye

As of December 2019, this Irish youtuber has over 23 million subscribers, which, according to Socialblade.com, puts him within the top 100 for the most subscribed channels on Youtube. His birthday is on 7th February, so it’s no surprise he comes across as so friendly on camera, is this is one of Aquarius’ key traits.

Jennifer Aniston

Back in the 1990’s, Jennifer Aniston became a staple of popular culture by playing Rachel Green in the hit TV series Friends. Since then, she has been one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, and remains one of the most recognisable faces on television. But you might not have known that she has an Aquarius birthday too. She turned 51 this year on the 11th February.

The Weeknd

Following his 2015 hits Can’t Feel My Face and The Hills, The Weeknd has gone onto win three Grammy awards and has been nominated for an Oscar. He also reached the big 30 on 16th February, and hit number 1 in the UK in the same month with his new song Blinding Lights.

Ed Sheeran

Most people are aware that Ed Sheeran is one of the most successful music artists on the planet, selling over 100 million records throughout his career. However, less people know that the Perfect singer belongs to the Aquarius zodiac, celebrating his birthday on 17th February. He released his latest album, No. 6 Collaborations Project last year, which included hits like I Don’t Care, which featured Justin Bieber, and Take Me Back To London featuring Stormzy.
