THE DETAILS:
Are you ready to break free from conformity and embrace your true self? Aquarius season, starting January 20th and ending February 18th, is the perfect time to do just that. As the Sun moves into this freedom-loving sign, we shift our focus from the structured, practical energy of Capricorn to the more forward-looking, socially open energy of Aquarius.
This archetype is all about getting you to the core of who you are by peeling off the layers of social, familial, and cultural programming that have been piling on since birth. It’s about living from a level of raw genuineness, separating who you truly are from who you’ve been conditioned to be. Individuation is the endpoint.
It's time to separate who you truly are from who you have been programmed to be.
Aquarius’ evolutionary aim is to guide you back to yourself—to help you dig deep and identify who you are from what you’ve been conditioned to believe–including what you believe to be true about your abilities and your definition of success.
On January 21st, the New Moon in Aquarius offers a perfect opportunity to set your intentions for the season. Carve out some quiet time and contemplate the change you’d like to see and be.
Uranus stations direct on January 22nd. Yippee! It’s the end of the retrogrades! This month started with 4 planets moving backward and now there are NONE! Retrogrades call us to slow down, turn inward, review, and revise our plans to stay aligned and on target. They often cause a lot of frustration via project snags, setbacks, and delays in the process.
Uranus, the planet of Awakenings, Rebirth, and Change, is the last of the group to turn it around and head forward. Uranus is traveling through Taurus, the sign that represents money, security, and values. This journey began in 2018 and will continue through 2026, giving you lots of time to contemplate what needs to change in your life in order to live in alignment with your current values. What’s important to you? What does financial freedom actually mean? Are you paying too much for your money? Stuff like that.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Aquarian energy represents individuality, novel ideas, progress, and a dash of rebellion when necessary. Step into your power and nurture your unique leadership style, both in your work and at play—it’s time to cut ties from the expectations of others and commit to your true self, even if that means going against the status quo.
The speed of everyday life is going to pick up and continue to build over the next 2 months. Make the most of the forward momentum and the Aquairuan invitation to cut ties from the expectations of others and commit to your true self, even if that means going against the status quo. Unfurl that Freak Flag.
