♒ Aquarius — ecliptic 300° to 330°
Aquarius occupies tropical ecliptic longitude 300°–330°, about 30 days from 20 January to 18 February. It is fixed air, ruled by Uranus in this sign table.

Uranus is a slow body. It can remain in one sign for years, so the sky table’s Uranus row is a poor shortcut for “what Aquarius means today.” The sign window is 300° to 330° whether Uranus is inside it or not. Saturn is the traditional ruler in many older books. This model stores Uranus, and it still calculates Saturn as a separate point. Read Saturn’s longitude if the question is about Saturn.
Fixed air opposes fixed fire: Leo, 180°, orb 8°. The trines at 120° are Gemini and Libra, the rest of the air triplicity, orb 8°. The squares at 90° are Taurus and Scorpio. The sextiles at 60°, orb 6°, are Aries and Sagittarius. Capricorn and Pisces are 30° away and unscored. Notice that the 6° orb shows up only on the sextile rows. Copying an 8° allowance onto a 60° pair would not match the engine.
An Aquarius sun sign locates the Sun in that sector for about 30 days. It does not locate the Ascendant, which needs the birth clock, and it does not locate Uranus. The free calculator returns the full set from one Swiss Ephemeris call.

Questions
Who rules Aquarius in this model?
Uranus. Saturn is still computed as its own planet, but the sign table’s ruler field is Uranus.
Which pairs from Aquarius use the 6° orb?
Aries and Sagittarius, the 60° sextiles. Trine, square, and opposition from Aquarius use 8°.
What longitude range is Aquarius?
300° to 330°. Capricorn owns 270°–300°. Pisces owns 330°–360°.
