Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

With your ruler, Uranus, still retrograding through early Gemini, squaring Venus in early Scorpio and forming a significant trine to Pluto in early Aquarius, you’re feeling a deep, almost subterranean pull towards transforming your relationships, especially those where you feel a bit… stifled. Today, the Moon in Libra is setting off some interesting dynamics, particularly as it opposes retrograde Saturn in early Aries. This could feel like a push-pull between your desire for harmonious connections and a strong sense of personal independence that sometimes verges on aloofness.

There’s a real opportunity here to “spill the tea” on your own emotional processing, Aquarius. Are you intellectualising a feeling instead of actually sitting with it? With Mercury in early Libra opposing retrograde Neptune in early Aries, and also trining your ruler Uranus, your thoughts are sharp and innovative, but there’s a fog around what you truly *feel*. This combination might have you articulating your needs brilliantly, but perhaps missing the deeper emotional resonance of a situation, particularly with friends or a cause you’re passionate about. You want connection, but that fixed air energy of yours can make you pull back just when intimacy starts to deepen.

The Sun in the middle degrees of Virgo sextiling Mars in late Cancer suggests a supportive energy for getting things done behind the scenes, perhaps for a community project or a close friend who needs your practical, problem-solving mind. But don’t let your natural tendency to fix things prevent you from simply being present. Pluto, currently sitting in early Aquarius, is urging you to confront those internal power dynamics, especially where you might push people away in the name of freedom, when really, it’s a fear of vulnerability.

This evening, as the Moon in Libra makes a lovely sextile to Jupiter in the middle degrees of Leo, there's a chance for genuine warmth and connection, particularly if you allow yourself to drop the intellectual armour. Be open to a different kind of freedom – the freedom that comes from being truly seen and understood, rather than perpetually independent.
