Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

That fresh New Moon in Libra, sitting right on the early degrees with Mercury, is definitely pulling your focus, Aquarius, towards how you communicate and connect. It’s illuminating those mental spaces where you process your relationships. With both the Moon and Mercury opposing Neptune in early Aries, there’s a real push-pull happening between wanting clarity in your conversations and feeling a bit hazy about where people stand, especially when it comes to your ideals or a cause you champion. You might find yourself intellectualising feelings rather than really *feeling* them today, thanks to that airy Libra energy.

Here's the tea: with Pluto, your own ruler Uranus, and Neptune all retrograde, there’s a deep internal recalibration going on. Pluto is camped out in early Aquarius, and it’s being trined by Mercury and Uranus, which is a powerful combination for breakthrough realisations. You’re being asked to transform how you express your unique vision to the world, but it’s an inside job right now. You’re usually so forward-thinking, but these retrogrades are making you look inwards, perhaps re-evaluating your need for independence versus your desire for genuine connection.

Mars in late Cancer is forming a sweet sextile with the Sun in Virgo, giving you a quiet boost of energy for practical tasks around your home or with family. But don’t let that distract you from the more potent undercurrents. Venus in early Scorpio is squaring Pluto in Aquarius, which can bring up some intense feelings about intimacy, control, and shared resources. This aspect might stir up some discomfort, making you want to retreat into your head or push people away in the name of freedom. Be careful not to let your fixed air nature become stubbornness when it comes to emotional vulnerability.

This evening, as the Moon continues its journey through Libra, you’ll find that a conversation, perhaps one you were avoiding, becomes unavoidable. With the Moon trining Pluto, you have an opportunity to speak your truth in a deeply authentic way, even if it feels a little exposing. Don't shy away from sitting with the discomfort. It’s not about losing your independence, Aquarius, but about redefining what true freedom looks like when you allow yourself to be seen and understood.
