12 Aquarii is a triple star[2] system in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 12 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.67.[2] Parallax measurements by Hipparcos puts it at a distance of some 500 light-years, or 150 parsecs away.[1] The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +1.1 km/s.[5]

The magnitude 5.88 primary,[2] component A, is itself a binary star with a separation of 0.05″–0.07″ and an orbital period of around 18.5 yr. The brighter member of this duo is a G-type bright giant with a stellar classification of G4 II and 2.6 times the mass of the Sun. Its companion is an early A-type star with double the mass of the Sun.[4] The tertiary component B is magnitude 7.55[2] A-type main-sequence star[3] at a separation of 2.44″ from the primary.[2]
