We are officially in Aquarius Season! Are you ready to unapologetically embrace your quirkiness? If you struggle to embrace your weirdness fully, this is the time when the universe encourages you to do just that. As the final air sign to be represented in the zodiac wheel, Aquarius reminds us of the importance of humanity by reflecting on society’s collective consciousness. Important astrology transits this Aquarius season, such as the New Moon in Aquarius happening on January 29, will highlight important lessons we can learn from the water bearer.
Aquarius is one of the unique signs in astrology co-ruled by two planets; Saturn traditionally rules it, but in modern astrology, it is also ruled by Uranus. Aquarius is a fixed air sign associated with the mind, which can make Aquarians immovable once set on their fixated ideologies. They are represented by the water bearer, indicating their ability to hold and observe other people’s emotions without being influenced by them. This gets them a bad reputation for being the coldest and emotionally detached sign in astrology, which coincidentally aligns with Aquarius season occurring during the winter. Uranus is known for sudden, unexpected changes, technological advancements, and rebellion, which explains the popular Aquarian traits of innovation, independence, intelligence, and humanitarianism.
This Aquarius season, the collective will be called to tap into their unique creative expression without needing public validation. Leo, the opposite sign of Aquarius in astrology, is known as the popular social butterfly that desires public acknowledgment and acceptance to feel appreciated for their efforts. Aquarius is the exact opposite, willing to be a loner and stand in their quirkiness regardless of what the public thinks.
Aquarians are quite comfortable in their skin, so they don’t care to conform to other people’s standards at the expense of denying their identity. Their sense of independence through their unique ability to detach from other people’s emotions can allow them to find a tribe that fully embraces their identity without limitation. During this Aquarius season, learning to embrace all parts of yourself, even the weird parts, will liberate your sense of expression and lead to innovative creativity.
Innovation is synonymous with Aquarius because they are one of the most intelligent signs in astrology. Symbolized by the water bearer, they are often confused for a water sign, but they carry the emotions of the collective and release them back to us in an intellectually innovative manner that will benefit society. This is why Aquarians can be very logical in their thought process and, in some cases, intellectualize their emotions instead of feeling them.
Their desire for mental stimulation through intellectual conversations is an important aspect of their relationships, and without it, they can quickly get bored. Therefore, this Aquarius season, expand your mind by learning and engaging in conversations about topics that pique your interest.
Like their opposite sign, Leo, Aquarius is also associated with social groups and networks, which they use as a vehicle for social justice causes. Despite their desire for independence and freedom, Aquarians are known as humanitarians in astrology because they want what’s best for society.
Their ideals for the collective are very futuristic because they are skilled with the ability to see into the future and predict what will advance society. This explains their connection with technological and scientific advancements that have the potential to drastically change the course of humanity. In honor of this Aquarius season, it’s important to tap into your networks or connect with social groups that are aligned with your ideals and work towards social changes that will improve your community.
This Aquarius season will be the first where the collective is experiencing a Pluto in Aquarius transit. This means the Sun and Pluto are both in the sign of Aquarius, indicating a collective desire to transform society through radical change. Pluto is associated with what’s hidden beneath the surface, so while in Aquarius, you will be forced to confront your deepest fears to experience individual transformation.
The recent New Moon in Aquarius on January 29 was also conjunct Mercury, which could indicate sudden communication and emotional awakenings surrounding your innovative expression and social networks. Since the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Pluto were all in Aquarius during the new moon, it’s important to see which house Aquarius falls in on your birth chart since all these planets will influence how this energy manifests for you this season.
