Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

That Full Moon in your sign today, sitting at 23°38' Aquarius, is definitely putting a spotlight on your fiercely independent nature. With the Moon literally shining in your First House, you're feeling everything more intensely than usual, but the real tea is how you're dealing with it. You've got Pluto retrograding at 4°12' Aquarius too, which suggests some deep, subconscious shifts around your personal power and how you present yourself to the world are bubbling up. You might find yourself intellectualising your feelings rather than truly sitting with them, Aquarian, especially with that Air element urging you to process things logically.

And let’s talk about your ruler, Uranus. It’s sitting pretty at 4°59' Gemini, a fellow Air sign, forming exact sextiles to Neptune and trines to Pluto. This is a powerful combination for innovative thought and breaking free from old patterns, especially when it comes to how you communicate and connect with others. Mars is also at 22°24' Gemini, making a gorgeous trine to that Full Moon in your sign. This is fantastic for expressing your ideas and advocating for causes you care about. However, that exact Venus Square Mars today, with Venus at 23°1' Virgo, could throw a spanner in the works when it comes to relationships. You might feel a push-pull between wanting connection and needing your space, sometimes pushing people away in the name of freedom without quite realising it.

Your social circle might feel a bit charged today. The Sun and Jupiter are having a grand old conjunction in Leo, shining a bright light on your partnerships and one-on-one connections. This energy, also opposing Pluto in your sign, asks you to confront any dynamics where you might be holding back your authentic self. It’s a moment to observe where you might be prioritising your intellectual ideals over the emotional needs of those closest to you. Don't be surprised if an uncomfortable truth about your behaviour in relationships comes to light.

With Saturn retrograding at 14°44' Aries, you're being asked to reassess your personal boundaries and how you assert your independence. This isn't about being less of you, Aquarius, but about finding a healthier balance between your need for freedom and your desire for genuine connection. Later today, take a moment to pause before responding to a friend or partner. Try to feel the emotion first, rather than immediately analysing it away.
