Astrology is an ancient practice that assigns meanings and personal characteristics based on the celestial bodies at the time of one's birth. More than an astrological chart or the a priori design of a life script, it is an invitation to discover what we may not know about ourselves. To the extent that we inhabit nature, we also inhabit the cosmology with which it is clothed.
We may not practice this belief system, but we cannot ignore the influence of nature on the behaviour of living beings. The sun that told the time, the moons that defined crops, the certain sky that foretold storms. Beliefs as old as our reluctance to understand them. Each of the twelve signs offers us a reading of personality traits, behavioural tendencies, individual characteristics and the way we relate to the collective.
On the zodiac wheel, the twelve signs are divided into four elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. Each of these elements has its own specific characteristics that influence the signs associated with them. In this month's blog we set out to choose the Roberto Vicentti suits that best define each sign of the zodiac. Whether you're a fervent fan or just curious, let yourself be carried away by what "the stars say" and you might be surprised.

AQUARIUS (20 January to 18 February)
To be Aquarius is to be original, independent and progressive. They are empathetic beings with an extraordinary humanity. Given their nature, sometimes they even seem like out-of-this-world beings, with their out-of-the-box vision. They can be unpredictable or emotionally distant.
WATER
Signs: Crab, Scorpio and Pisces
They are deeply emotional and intuitive and have a great capacity for empathy, being very sensitive to the needs of others. They are often very creative with a rich imagination. They can be overly sensitive and vulnerable to emotional setbacks, and may even have some difficulty dealing with reality, tending to run away from it.
