7 Podcasts All Aquarius Zodiac Signs Will Love
Something important to know about Aquarius zodiac signs (aka those born Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): while the name might conjure images of waves and wishy washy feelings, this is an air sign, represented by water because that's what they bear, not what they're made of. This common misconception of the sign leads to a lot of misunderstandings of Aquarians, so the music, books, TV shows, and podcasts that Aquarius are drawn to are not dreamy, they're profound. This sign is a humanitarian at its core, it's driven by the intrinsic desire to help people, to make the world a more functional place, so the kinds of entertainment that they're willing to lend their attention to will be important, sensible, socially-responsible material that inspires and drives them.
If you see an Aquarius with their headphones in on their morning commute, they might look like they're grooving to easy listening, according to astrologer Lisa Stardust , they're often misjudged as "aloof", but in reality, they're more likely listening to an interview with Greta Thunberg or Michelle Obama's book on tape. This studious, serious sign can more than handle life's most uncomfortable or depressing truths, they're hungry for it and they have a good poker face.
Below is a collection of podcasts worth of Aquarius' attention span because they feature important speakers, address crucial issues, and don't sugar coat anything, because Aquarians don't need it. These podcasts will enlighten Aquarians, strengthen their own convictions, and inspire them to take action in the own ways.
