From topastronomer.com:
Aquarius, or the "Water Bearer," is a constellation in the southern hemisphere. It is one of the 12 constellations of the Zodiac family, which lie on the Sun's apparent path in the sky. Its name means "water bearer" or "cup bearer" in Latin. Aquarius is one of the oldest recognized constellations in the sky. In Greek mythology, it is identified with Ganymede, a handsome young man Zeus fell in love with and, taking the form of an eagle (Aquila), carried off to Olympus to serve as cup-bearer to the gods.
The stars in the Aquarius constellation can be interpreted as resembling the figure of a man holding a bucket with a pouring stream of water.
