Aquarius in Hebrew — Deli, the bucket of Shevat
Aquarius in Hebrew is Deli (דְּלִי) — the bucket. In the Jewish calendar it is not a band of sky but a month with a body: Shevat, the month of taste, carried by the tribe of Asher.
The Hebrew zodiac names are older than the Latin ones and blunter: Deli simply means "bucket." The fifth chapter of Sefer Yetzirah binds this mazal to the month of Shevat, the letter צ (Tzadi), and the sense of taste — a full anatomy, not just a symbol.
Here is what most Aquarius pages will not tell you: your Western Aquarius window (January 20 – February 18) usually straddles two Hebrew months — the end of Tevet and most of Shevat — and because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, the boundary lands differently every single year. A Aquarius born in the early window may actually carry Tevet's mazal, Capricorn. The Jewish sign follows the Hebrew month you were born in, not the sun's degree.
Compute your actual Jewish sign
Wealthy of spirit and substance. Shevat's season carries Tu b'Shevat — New Year of the Trees, and its avoda — the month's inner work — is tasting and refining — quality of spirit, distributed to others.
Strengths of the Shevat-born, in the classical reading: generosity, refreshing perspective, humanitarian instinct, innovation. The growth edge: sustainable boundaries, strategic self-care, saying no to good causes.

What is Aquarius in Hebrew?
Aquarius in Hebrew is Deli (דְּלִי) — literally "bucket." It is the mazal of the Hebrew month of Shevat, linked to the tribe of Asher and the letter Tzadi.
Which Hebrew month is Aquarius?
Aquarius is the sign of Shevat. But note: the Western Aquarius window (January 20 – February 18) usually straddles two Hebrew months — late Tevet and most of Shevat — and the boundary moves every year, because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar.
Is my Jewish zodiac sign the same as my Western sign?
Often not. Your Western sign follows the sun's position on your Gregorian date; your Jewish sign follows the Hebrew month you were born in. Because the calendars drift against each other, two people with the same Western sign can carry different mazalot. The only way to know is to convert your actual birth date.
Aquarius is one twelfth of the story.
