Welcome to to the season of innovators, geniuses, intellectual know-it-alls, aliens, astrology lovers, techies, and rebels! Aquarius season is here to lighten your load and electrify your life! From January 19 until February 18, the Sun will soar through the eleventh sign of the zodiac, marking a four week-cycle of community and connection.
Here’s everything you need to know about this eccentric season:
Aquarius in Astrology
Out of all the zodiac signs, hands down, Aquarius is the most innovative, unpredictable, quirky, and progressive. When you think about Oprah, Bob Marley, Michael Jordan, Alicia Keys, and Justin Timberlake — all famous Aquarius people — they have one thing in common, they were ahead of their time. Although they can be a tad bit odd (and destructive) at times, these quiet, yet eerily powerful, and insanely wise souls represent the eleventh and final air sign in Astrology.
As an air sign, Aquarius energy is unexplainably mental. And because it is fixed air (unlike Gemini and Libra) Aquarius energy is the most focused of its breezy counterparts. Although Aquarian energy can be lofty and a tad bit overdramatic, it has the fixated ability to concentrate on tasks without being distracted or persuaded. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for an air sign to get something done, call an Aquarius!
But don’t be fooled, co-ruled by serious Saturn, the planet of responsibility, and unpredicatible Uranus, the planet of disruption, Aquarius is a professional rebel. As a community-oriented problem solver, Aquarius’s superpower is shaking things up and putting them back together better than they were before. Complex? Yes. Controlling? Yes — all fixed signs are.
But this obsessive fixed energy doesn’t stop others from being inspired by Aquarius’s ability to show up and share their truth freely and unapologetically to the world. As the humanitarian of the zodiac, Aquarius is a trendsetter, visionary, and a world builder. Happy Solar and Rising Return to all my Water-Bearers!
The Power of Aquarius Season
Every solar season is powerful in its own right, but Aquarius season takes on a whole new meaning of networking and leveling up. Occurring right after Capricorn season, a four week period of planning, working, procrastinating, working, and planning some more, you should roll into Aquarius season feeling more aware of your long-term goals, capabilities, and limitations.
In other words, Capricorn season showcased your materialistic value and achievements, Aquarius season says it’s time to make some improvements and share your accomplishments with others. How can you stabilize and implement the behind the scenes strategizing that took place during Capricorn Season? What connections and collaborations do you need to form or follow up with?
Aquarius Season: The Good
The best part about Aquarius season is the socializing — I mean hello, Aquarius is an air sign! But despite the group trips, double dates, friendly gatherings, team meetings, company mixers, and community ceremonies, Aquarius season is excellent for zooming out of your personal problems (for a little while at least) and getting context on the bigger picture of your life and the evolving world around you.
Generally, Aquarius season brings positive enhancements to global affairs and international relationships. It’s also the best solar transit for social networking, media, advocacy groups, and tech. These industries should see a boom around this time. Make sure you check in with your friends!
Aquarius Season: The Bad
One of the drawbacks of Aquarius season is the increase of differing opinions, especially unwarranted public criticism around religion, spirituality, education, and human ethics. Social media, the news, and peer circles could get extremely messy around this time. There could be drama within a team, or with Aquarius ruling extended family members, distant relatives could become a nuisance. To survive this part of Aquarius season, turn on your noise blockers. Cut out the small talk and only focus on what serves you.
Aquarius Season: The Ugly
We’ve all seen I-robot and The Matrix, or movies where the machines take over — the ugliest parts of Aquarius season can look something like that. Aquarius is great at detaching emotion from logic, which is why they make the best philosophers, but sometimes this can be a dangerous thing. Too much reliance on technology, automation, and fact-based thinking could interfere with the natural order of flow in human interactions. Yes, it’s great to take a emotionally detached approach every once in a while, but too much distance could cause a major rift. In an extreme scenario, this could be a cyber leak or political intrusion on private thoughts/space. In a more practical scenario, this could be a rise in device usage/consumption. The key is moderation.
Final Thoughts:
The next four weeks of your life can liberate and awaken you in ways you never imagined. The trick to receiving the magic of Aquarius season is releasing the self-proclaimed (and pre-conditioned) beliefs you hold about yourself and your future.
Who would you become if you had no limitations?
What would you do if you had everything you needed to achieve your dreams?
If you take anything away from this Aquarius season, my prayer, dear reader, is that you allow yourself to dream without limits. Use this invigorating time to unapologetically move forward with a heart of fearless determination and devoted discipline.
You are who you want to be. Act like it!
