Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

That independent streak, dear Aquarius, is certainly getting a workout today. With your ruler, Uranus, retrograde in Gemini at early degrees, forming a trine to Pluto in your own sign, you're getting a deep, almost subconscious nudge towards radical self-acceptance. It’s like a quiet revolution brewing within your soul – especially with Pluto sitting right at 3° Aquarius. This energy is about stripping away anything that isn’t truly authentic to your unique, often unconventional, path.

However, a bit of a plot twist arrives with Venus retrograde in Scorpio, squaring Pluto. This is where things get interesting, Aquarius, because it's highlighting those hidden power dynamics in your close relationships or shared resources. You might be feeling a pull towards intimacy but also a strong urge to protect your freedom, a classic Aquarian dilemma. This square is challenging you to look at where you might be intellectualising your feelings rather than truly sitting with them. Are you explaining away a need for space when what you really want is a different kind of connection? Spill the tea: sometimes your detachment can feel like a defence mechanism, not just a preference.

The Moon in Capricorn, making a sextile to Mercury in Scorpio, offers a practical way through this. It’s a call to honest, albeit perhaps intense, communication. Later today, use this grounded energy to articulate your boundaries without pushing people away. With Mars and Jupiter both in Leo, trining Saturn retrograde in Aries, there’s a real opportunity to champion a cause or a friend, but ensure you're not sacrificing your own emotional needs in the process. Remember, your fixed air nature means you can sometimes get stuck in a mental loop; today, make a conscious effort to feel, not just think.
