Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

Pluto at 3 degrees Aquarius in your first house of self-identity is a significant one, Aquarius, giving you this profound, almost transformative urge to reinvent yourself from the inside out. It's a deep clean of your personal operating system, and today, with the Moon in discerning Virgo making a square to your ruler, Uranus, in early Gemini, you might be feeling a restless intellectual energy bubbling up. You’re typically so good at detaching and analysing, but this Moon-Uranus tension suggests an unexpected jolt to your usual emotional cool.

With the Sun and Mercury (retrograde, mind you!) both in Scorpio, tightly conjunct in your house of career and public image, there's a serious focus on your reputation and how you're perceived. This retrograde Mercury, so close to the Sun, means you're reconsidering your communication style, especially in professional settings. Are you truly expressing your unique vision, or are you holding back? Venus (also retrograde) in late Libra sextiling Jupiter in late Leo highlights your relationships, particularly friendships and group affiliations. This Venus-Jupiter exact sextile is a lovely, flowing energy for connection, suggesting an opportunity to smooth over any recent bumps with your mates.

Here’s where we spill the tea, Aquarius: your inherent need for independence, while a superpower, can sometimes make you intellectualise your feelings away. You're a fixed air sign, so you process the world through thought, often before emotion. But with Neptune in early Aries sextiling Pluto in your sign, there’s a subtle pull towards recognising the spiritual or intuitive undercurrents to your desire for freedom. Are you pushing people away in the name of 'autonomy' when a part of you actually craves deeper connection? Uranus (your ruler, also retrograde) in early Gemini trining Pluto suggests a breakthrough in how you manage that tension between needing space and wanting authentic belonging.

Today, try to lean into the vulnerability that Jupiter in Leo is encouraging. Instead of overthinking a feeling, just sit with it. That Sun-Moon sextile is offering a practical, grounding energy to help you articulate your emotional needs without sacrificing your beloved independence.
