β Aquarii is the brightest star in Aquarius with an apparent magnitude of 2.87 [2] and a stellar classification of G0 Ib. [3] Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. [ 22 ]
The two brightest stars, α Aquarii and β Aquarii, are luminous yellow supergiants, of spectral types G0Ib and G2Ib respectively, [11] that were once hot blue-white B-class main sequence stars 5 to 9 times as massive as the Sun. The two are also moving through space perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way.

The apparent visual magnitude of 2.94 [2] makes this the second-brightest star in Aquarius. Based upon parallax measurements made by the Gaia spacecraft, it is located at a distance of roughly 690 light-years (210 parsecs) from the Sun. [5] It is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of 7.5 km/s. [4]
Delta Aquarii (δ Aquarii, abbreviated Delta Aqr, δ Aqr), officially named Skat / ˈ s k æ t /, [16] is the third-brightest star in the constellation of Aquarius.The apparent visual magnitude is 3.3, [17] which can be seen with the naked eye.
Cardinal signs' villain era will end on Nov. 19, when Pluto moves into Aquarius. After this, Pluto won't be back in Capricorn for our lifetime; the next time it will be in the Earth sign is 2254.

Zeta Aquarii (ζ Aquarii, ζ Aqr) is the Bayer designation for a triple star system, [7] the central star of the "water jar" asterism [9] in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The combined apparent visual magnitude of this system is 3.65, [ 2 ] which is readily visible to the naked eye.
