water bearer

January-February astrological symbol

A water bearer is someone who carries water, historically an essential role before modern plumbing.

The term appears in the zodiac as Aquarius, the Water Bearer, represented by a figure pouring water from a vessel.

In sports and other contexts, a water bearer is someone who performs support tasks for others—fetching drinks, running errands: He started as a water bearer before becoming team captain.
