Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

That New Moon in Sagittarius today, hitting 7°48' right as it forms a challenging opposition to your ruler, Uranus, currently retrograding at 4°18' Gemini, is really shaking up your sense of independence, Aquarius. You’re feeling this strong pull towards forging new connections and maybe even kicking off a new group project, but that retrograde Uranus is making you question if you’re sacrificing too much of your quirky freedom in the process. It’s a classic Aquarius dilemma: craving connection but needing ample breathing room.

With Pluto now in your sign at 3°14' Aquarius, and Mercury retrograding through Scorpio at 5°43', squaring Pluto, there’s some deep psychological work bubbling up. You might find yourself intellectualising a big feeling or a significant change in your life rather than actually sitting with it. Come on, spill the tea – are you pushing people away in the name of preserving your unique vibe, when deep down you just want to be understood? This energy, especially with the Moon making a supportive trine to retrograde Saturn in Aries, suggests you’re being given a chance to stabilise those deeper friendships and commitments, but it requires a bit of vulnerability you might usually avoid.

The harmonious sextile between retrograde Venus in Libra and Mars in Leo (exact today!) alongside Mars’ conjunction with Jupiter in Leo, is lighting up your relationship sector. There’s a powerful, almost fated, energy around your one-on-one connections and creative collaborations. While you're usually more comfortable with group dynamics, this is pulling your attention to individual partnerships. You're being called to reconcile your need for personal freedom with the desire for passionate, expansive connection.

Expect some unexpected shifts or realisations regarding your friendships or community involvement later today, thanks to that Moon-Uranus opposition, which is also receiving a supportive sextile from Pluto. A long-term cause you care about might demand a fresh approach, or you might find yourself reconsidering who truly "gets" you. Use this dynamic energy to articulate your needs clearly, especially when it comes to balancing your wild card spirit with the desire for genuine camaraderie.
