Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

Currently retrograde in your sign at early Aquarius, is stirring some profound shifts deep within your sense of identity and personal power, making you feel a bit… unmoored, perhaps? It’s not about losing yourself, Aquarius, but shedding old skins. This is amplified by the exact sextile Pluto is making to Neptune, retrograde in early Aries, suggesting a hidden spiritual or altruistic undercurrent to these changes. You might be feeling a pull towards a cause or a collective effort that truly resonates with your Air sign intellect and humanitarian spirit.

You're known for your cool, analytical approach, but with Mars in the middle degrees of Cancer squaring Saturn retrograde in the middle degrees of Aries, there’s a quiet tension bubbling up around your emotional responses. It's like your instinct to protect your personal space (Mars in Cancer) is clashing with your long-term commitments or the lessons you're meant to be learning about true independence (Saturn in Aries). This is especially true since your ruler, Uranus, in early Gemini, is trining Pluto and sextiling Neptune, pushing you to verbalise those deeper, more transformative feelings, even if it feels a bit awkward.

Here's the tea, Aquarius: are you intellectualising a feeling that actually needs to be *felt*? With the Sun and Mercury both in Virgo and sextiling Mars, your mind is razor-sharp, fantastic for problem-solving and dissecting situations. But when it comes to your friendships or a particular connection, are you pushing people away in the name of freedom, when really, a part of you craves that deep connection? The Moon in late Taurus, now in its Last Quarter phase, trining Mercury, suggests a real opportunity to ground those mental insights in practical, tangible ways. Perhaps reach out to a friend, or contribute to that cause you've been thinking about.

This afternoon, as Jupiter in the middle degrees of Leo trines Saturn, there's a lovely flow of energy for bringing your expansive ideas into a structured reality. Use your Fixed Air nature to anchor your vision. Just be mindful of the Sun squaring Uranus; there might be an unexpected twist or a sudden urge to break free from a routine. Don't let it derail you from the positive strides you’re making. Instead, channel that innovative streak into finding a new, more authentic path forward that honours both your need for connection and your fiercely independent spirit.
