short review for busy readers:
A compendium of articles on different facets of modern witchcraft combined with elements of the astrological sign of Aquarius. Better for reference than general reading.
in detail:
I am an Aquarian and a Neopagan, but I don't practice witchcraft. But this title, I just couldn't resist: Aquarius Witch! It sounded both interesting, and kind of goofy, at the same time. 😅
Turns out, it could be quite helpful for the right witch!
For those who do practice, there are many lists of correspondences for herbs, scents, stones, moon phases, days and times, Tarot cards...basically for working any kind of spellcraft related to Aquarian themes.
What I found most interesting (and useful) were the meditation suggestions that use the astrological symbol for Aquarius ♒ as a focus and starting point for meditation.
I've always seen that sign as representing water, but in a broader sense, it can also be simply waves: Ripples in water, sound waves, radio waves, being on a wavelength, vibes, currents, flow.
Never thought of that before, but it makes a lot of sense given the Aquarian personality archetype and the image of water gushing out of an amphora.
Much of what's in this book can be found on different websites now, I'm sure. But if you like to have actual reference books around, you could do much worse than this one.

I really enjoyed this book! I’ve enjoyed every book in the sunshine series and the way that Ivo is able to evoke the essence of each sign.
Aquarians are in my life as leaders and teachers, so it was really nice to get this insight into the way they approach their craft. I also adored the color scheme for this book in particular. Mickey Mueller‘s articles were really great as well, she is such a pure Aquarian spirit! From her exploration on linden tree to the tone of each piece she contributed, I really enjoyed her words. This is my first time reading or encountering her work so I’m excited to look for more of her decks and books in the future.
Some of the spells, as all of the witches’ sun signs books, were usable regardless of your sign. There is a focusing spell on page 38 for instance that would benefit anybody I imagine, especially other air signs. I also really enjoyed the section on archetypes and deities associated with Aquarius.
There was a lot of tarot tips shared in this particular book, which doesn’t feel like a coincidence as so many Aquarians I know are tarot readers or even deck creators.
This book was a really great insight into the Aquarian and way of being.

Ivo Dominguez, Jr. is a highly gifted writer, witch, and astrologer.
He has recently completed a monumental project: writing 12 witchcraft books, each tailored to the individual Sun signs. But it doesn't stop at the Sun signs. Ivo goes into the combinations of the sun sign with each of the possible rising signs and moon sighs. If you've never had your chart interpreted by a professional astrologer and only used software, then this book will help with some of the nuances of how the Big Three interact.
When I heard this series was underway, I immediately pre-ordered Aquarius Witch. I have been an initiated witch for 45 years so I am getting pickier about which books I read (Is this going to be more of the same? Will I learn anything new?), so I am happy to report that this book changed some of my approach to my craft — and as a stubborn Aquarius — that’s saying something.
Much of this book is good for beginners, but there are lots hints in there for advanced practitioners to be uncovered — especially if you actually do all of the exercises (I did). One aspect new to me was working directly with the spirit of Aquarius. I have always worked with planetary hours and moon signs, and spiritually with local spirits, fae, egún (ancestors), nkisi, and Orisha, but never with my astrological archetype as a guide that can be worked with. Connecting with that archetype felt like another part of my soul clicked into place.

As an Aquarius myself, I opened Aquarius Witch with the particular mixture of curiosity and suspicion that comes with reading anyone else's description of your own sign. Aquarius gets flattened into a handful of clichés so easily: eccentric, rebellious, intellectual, detached, futuristic. Ivo Dominguez Jr. and Mickie Mueller understand those qualities, but they also understand what sits underneath them. Aquarius is fixed air, traditionally ruled by Saturn and associated in modern astrology with Uranus, and that combination creates something much more interesting than simply being “the weird one” of the zodiac. I felt recognized here in ways I wasn't expecting.
What I especially enjoyed is that this is actually a book about practicing witchcraft as an Aquarius rather than an astrology book with some spells added at the end. The authors take Aquarian characteristics and ask how they might influence magical practice. Independence, intellectual curiosity, innovation, community consciousness, unconventional thinking, and the tendency to question established systems can all become magical strengths when consciously cultivated. That immediately clicked for me. Aquarius energy wants to understand the system and then figure out what else the system might be capable of doing.
I also appreciated the attention given to the contradictions within Aquarius. This is a sign associated with humanity and collective ideals that can simultaneously need enormous amounts of personal distance. It can be visionary and stubborn, radical and strangely fixed, intensely social in its concerns while remaining difficult to personally access. That fixed-air quality explains so much more than the usual description of Aquarians as emotionally detached. There can be tremendous commitment behind Aquarian thinking. Once an idea, principle, or vision takes hold, it can become something we organize an entire worldview around.
That makes the magical material particularly fun. Rather than suggesting that every Aquarius should practice one particular kind of witchcraft, the book encourages experimentation and personalization. There are correspondences, rituals, spells, exercises, magical tools, deities, herbs, crystals, tarot associations, and other ways of translating the sign into actual practice. Some resonated with me immediately and others didn't, but that almost feels appropriate for Aquarius. Give me the system, show me why the correspondences work, and then let me start modifying things.
The sections dealing with community and larger purpose also helped this rise above astrological self-description for me. Aquarius is traditionally associated with groups, networks, movements, ideals, and visions of what society might become. Bringing those themes into witchcraft opens interesting possibilities around collective magick, social transformation, covens and communities, and using magical practice in service of something larger than individual desire. That feels like an important dimension of Aquarius that gets lost when the sign is reduced to quirky individualism.
There were several moments when I laughed because I felt a little too accurately observed, which is probably the experience everyone secretly wants from a book about their Sun sign. But I also came away with ideas I could actually use. Aquarius Witch takes the personality material of astrology and asks the more interesting question of what to do with it. If these are genuinely some of my natural tendencies, how can I consciously turn them into strengths within my spiritual and magical life? As an Aquarius, I found the answer surprisingly affirming: question everything, experiment freely, think beyond the inherited boundaries, find the people who understand what you're building, and then make the strange idea real.

Aquarius has always struck me as one of the signs astrology has difficulty describing without making everyone sound either like Nikola Tesla or somebody who refuses to attend family Christmas because society is an illusion. The reality is considerably more interesting. Aquarius can be intellectually restless, independent to the point of contrariness, fascinated by systems, genuinely concerned with humanity, and occasionally much better at loving humanity than dealing with the individual human being currently standing in the kitchen. Ivo Dominguez Jr. and Mickie Mueller seem to understand that contradiction, and it gives them considerably more to work with than the usual collection of jokes about being weird.
The magical emphasis on individuality and innovation makes obvious sense, but I was more interested in what happens when Aquarian detachment becomes part of the discussion. Detachment is not necessarily coldness. A certain amount of distance can let a witch see patterns that disappear when everything is personal, and that ability is enormously useful in divination, astrology, group work, and any magical system complicated enough to require seeing how several moving parts fit together. The trouble comes when observation replaces participation. Eventually even the person studying the magical current has to step into it.
That is where the sign's relationship with community becomes much richer than the stereotype of the eccentric loner. Aquarius is traditionally associated with groups, networks, collective ideals, and the future, yet its independence can make belonging complicated. I found myself thinking about Pagan communities I have watched over the years, full of people devoted to creating alternative forms of religion who then discover that a community of radical individualists still needs somebody to answer the email, organize the ritual, and remember where the folding chairs went. The book's mixture of personal practices and contributions from other Aquarian witches suits that tension rather nicely. Aquarius wants to do things differently, but eventually the interesting question is what those differences make possible for people besides oneself.
Like the other books in this series, it necessarily isolates the Sun sign more than an astrologer ordinarily would. Twenty pages into any Sun-sign book I begin mentally adding Moon, rising sign, houses, aspects, and the rest of the chart back into the person. Still, I understand the exercise. By exaggerating one part of the chart for a while, you can see its magical possibilities more clearly. Aquarius Witch gave me several useful ways of thinking about innovation, objectivity, independence, and collective work without reducing the sign to being the zodiac's designated eccentric. Sometimes the witch who refuses to do things the old way is merely being difficult. Sometimes he has noticed that the old way stopped working twenty years ago.

I feel both seen and called out in the best way. So many little gems for my practice in this one.

A lot of repeated information that you’ve probably already read and dozens of other books or online. Definitely just printed to make money.
