Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

There’s a fascinating push-pull happening for you today, Aquarius, with your ruling planet Uranus (currently retrograde in early Gemini) trining Pluto, which is sitting in early Aquarius right now. This is a deep dive into your very identity and how you express your independent spirit, especially with Pluto making itself at home in your sign. It’s like the universe is handing you a blueprint for profound, albeit internal, transformation, nudging you to rebuild certain aspects of your outer world to better reflect your true, evolving self.

You might feel a bit of a shake-up in your relationships, particularly with Venus retrograde in early Scorpio squaring Pluto. This exact aspect hints at some intense hidden dynamics or power plays simmering beneath the surface in your closest connections. Now, Aquarius, we know you’re brilliant at intellectualising feelings, often preferring to analyse emotions from a safe distance rather than diving into the messy depths. But today, the Moon (currently in late Capricorn) making a conjunction with Pluto in your sign, and then squaring Venus, is calling you out on that. It's time to actually *feel* it, not just think about it. Are you perhaps pushing someone away in the name of preserving your freedom, when deep down, you’re craving a different kind of connection?

Mars and Jupiter are both holding court in the middle degrees of Leo, opposite your sign, highlighting how your personal drive and expansive outlook are impacting your one-on-one relationships. This makes it a prime time to consider how your innovative ideas and humanitarian spirit are perceived by others. With the Sun in late Libra sextiling Jupiter, there’s an opportunity for some wonderfully harmonious interactions, particularly in group settings or within causes you champion. You have a chance to bridge gaps and bring people together, using your signature Air element wit and charm.

Later today, as the Moon enters Aquarius, expect your emotional core to feel even more pronounced, prompting you to sit with those uncomfortable truths Venus retrograde is unearthing. Don’t let your fixed air nature make you stubbornly resist a necessary emotional thaw. This isn’t about losing yourself, Aquarius; it's about realising that true freedom often comes from confronting what you’ve been avoiding.
