Aquarius 20 January – 18 February

P luto, currently retrograde at the early degrees of your own sign, Aquarius, is stirring up deep, transformative currents beneath your typically cool exterior. It’s like an underground river of change is flowing, urging you to reassess your personal power and how you present yourself to the world. This energy is amplified today by an exact sextile to Neptune, which is also retrograde in Aries, hinting at a subtle yet profound spiritual awakening or a re-evaluation of your core beliefs.

Y ou, our resident Water Bearer, are often celebrated for your intellectual approach to life and your sometimes detached way of handling emotions. But with the Moon in Scorpio squaring the Sun in Leo and Mercury also in Leo today, there’s a real tension brewing between your emotional depths and your desire for clear, rational expression. You might find yourself intellectualising a feeling instead of just sitting with it, trying to dissect it rather than simply experiencing it.

T his could spill over into your relationships, Aquarius, especially with Venus in Libra opposing retrograde Saturn in Aries. There's a push-pull between wanting harmonious connection and feeling like your independence is being challenged. You might be pushing people away, perhaps subtly, in the name of freedom, but is it truly about freedom, or is it a fear of vulnerability? The cosmos is spilling the tea: you can have both connection and space, but it requires a different kind of openness.

Y our ruler, Uranus, currently in early Gemini, is forming a trine to Pluto in your sign, offering a brilliant opportunity to integrate some of these deep shifts with your innovative spirit. This is about finding creative ways to revolutionise how you connect, how you communicate, and how you sustain your unique friendships. Jupiter in Leo sextiles Uranus, too, giving you a boost of confidence to experiment. Trust your gut on where your energy needs to go, whether it’s towards a cause you care about or a conversation that needs to happen.

D on’t shy away from the intensity of the First Quarter Moon this evening. It’s a call to action, asking you to refine your approach. Instead of retreating into your brilliant mind, allow yourself to feel. This isn't about losing your cool; it's about realising that true freedom comes from acknowledging and integrating all parts of yourself, even the messy emotional bits.
