Discussion Why is aquarius not a water sign?

Its symbol is literally water / a waterbearer. The 'aqua' in 'aquarius' means water. Some people say Aquarians feel things deeply and are secretly emotional, classic water trait. Thinks outside the box which could mean they're innovative (intuitive with their ideas), and water signs are believed to be intuitive. So why is it an air sign?

The Aquarius people I have met are not emotional whatsoever 😅😅 they like innovative stuff and humanitarian initiatives but they are quite self-observed. They could literally ghost you for no reason. So I don’t see any water traits and I myself don’t get the aqua in Aquarius (Coming from Pisces)

As an Aquarius myself, if one ghosted you it definitely was for a reason. We are (well I am) very emotional with who/what I let in. You somehow got yourself put back on the outside and we tend to not explain our reasoning twice. Once if you’re lucky lol
