Aquarius Colours, Patterns, and Designs
Aquarius is associated with exciting colours, such as electric blue and purple, as well as neon shades of blue and green. It is also linked with geometric and psychedelic designs.
Although the Aquarius ruling planet, Uranus, is associated with bright, splashy colours and patterns, Aquarians often prefer to wear monochromatic items of clothing, usually in basic shades of green, blue, or purple, though some Aquarians, being eccentric, dress in an unusual manner and may adopt an atypical overall style. As for preferred colours and designs for objects and backgrounds, Aquarian themes include anything that relates to outer space (planets, galaxies, stars) or suggests scientific, futuristic, and technological concepts.
Aquarius Gemstones
Gemstones associated with the sign of the Aquarius include aquamarine, garnet (January), and amethyst (February).
Aquarius Trees, Plants, Flowers, and Foods

The Atypical Aquarius
Not all Aquarians will conform to the typical Aquarius profile. An Aquarius whose rising sign is in Taurus, for example, will be very different from one who has Leo rising. An Aquarius with Taurus rising may have a stronger interest in the natural world and outdoor pursuits, and less interest in obscure topics and pastimes. With Leo rising, by contrast, the Aquarius is more likely to engage in creative hobbies, to show an interest in cooking or gardening, and if athletically inclined, may prefer team sports to individual snow sports.
