It has no special significance over any other one. Of course the stars in each constellation are different.
Here is an article on the zodiac
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZodiacWhat is the Aquarius constellation's significance to the zodiac?Amongst the 12 signs of Zodiac as were originally conceived (not circumscribed into boundaries), many are 'dull' constellations. Only a few are bright, having first magnitude stars - Taurus (Aldebaran), Gemini (Pollux), Leo (Regulus), Virgo (Spica), Scorpius (Antares). Aquarius is particularly dull. Its brightest stars (brightness ranked with name %26amp; as per Bayer's nomenclature, apparent magnitude %26amp; spectral type):
155. 'Sadalsuud' (Beta Aq) ; 2.91; G0Ib
162. 'Sadalmelik' (Alpha Aq) ; 2.96; G2Ib
About two millennia have passed when the circle of Zodiac was fixed with the starting point placed at Vernal Equinox (VE), occurring when Sun crosses over from Pisces to Aries. It was (%26amp; is) called the 'First point of Aries'. Later it was found that the (Celestial) Equator (one of the pair of points whose intersection with Zodiac is Vernal Equinox) precesses on the Zodiac at the rate of 25,800 years per cycle and the VE recedes back to Pisces and so on with each zodiacal sign covering 2150 years. Now we are in the process of witnessing the VE precessing through Pisces. 2150years after VE was fixed as 'First point of Aries' (may be in 450 AD), VE will enter 'Aquarius' ushering in the Age of Aquarius as per some.What is the Aquarius constellation's significance to the zodiac?why are you asking here?
