Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

With your ruling planet Uranus still retrograding in Gemini, you’re likely feeling a subtle buzz of internal recalibration, Aquarius, especially around how you communicate your unique ideas. Today, the Waning Gibbous Moon in Cancer is squaring off with Saturn retrograde in Aries, hitting that cardinal point in your chart that relates to home, emotional security, and your sense of self. It’s creating a bit of a tug-of-war between needing your space and a deep, often unacknowledged, craving for emotional connection. You might find yourself intellectualising feelings rather than actually sitting with them.

The Sun in Scorpio at 7 degrees is squaring Pluto, your modern ruler, which is currently sitting at 3 degrees of Aquarius. This is a big one for you. It’s shining a spotlight on power dynamics, hidden truths, and potentially a subconscious urge to control situations or people in the name of your fierce independence. This square demands you look at where you might be pushing people away, even inadvertently, when what you truly want is a deeper bond, but on your own terms. That fixed air need for freedom can sometimes morph into emotional detachment, and today’s energies are here to spill the tea on that pattern.

Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, and it’s making an exact square to Mars in Leo. This means communications, particularly around passions, friendships, or creative projects, could feel a little intense or misunderstood. You might find yourself saying one thing but meaning another, or encountering someone who's doing the same. Give yourself permission to pause before responding, especially this afternoon.

Later, as Venus retrogrades in Libra and makes a sweet sextile to Jupiter in Leo, there’s an opportunity to mend fences or find a more harmonious way to express yourself within your relationships. This aspect offers a gentle nudge to soften your approach and remember that true freedom often comes from mutual respect and understanding, not just radical self-reliance. Think about a cause or community you care about – this is where your fixed air energy truly shines. Use that insight to connect, rather than disconnect, today.
