Aquarius, The Water Bearer
January 20 to February 18
Modality: Fixed
Element: Air
Ruler: Uranus
Keywords: Unconventional, original, progressive, intellectual, compassionate, stubborn, isolated
As an Aquarius you are an enigmatic puzzle, a mix of the old and the new and of friendly and aloof. You are noted for your independence and strong will, but you are also stubborn (being a fixed sign). Aquarius is the sign of the humanitarian, and you are generous with your time and money when helping others. You are also a communicator, being an air sign, though you do like your independence from others as well. You are intellectual, intuitive, and insightful.
The universal sign of friendship, Aquarians are often surrounded by several acquaintances, though few close friends; you are comfortable in large groups of people at clubs and gatherings, despite gender or background. In love, you might play the field, as you search for variety. Communication is key for you in your romantic relationships; you could do well with your opposite sign, Leo, or with the other air signs, Gemini and Libra. Taurus and Scorpio could provide a relationship clash with their possessiveness. Your family life is traditional, staying in close touch with relatives. Be careful of clutter in the home, as some Aquarians have trouble letting go of collectibles or knick-knacks.
When it comes to careers, Aquarians are both naive and practical (again with the duality). Learn to live within a realistic budget, as at times it may seem that it is feast or famine with money; doing so you can do well financially in the long-term. An Aquarius enjoys a calm working environment, and likely will spend their lifetime in one career.
You are generally a homebody, though you do enjoy a weekend getaway now and again.
For the year ahead:
Affirmation: My future sparkles with opportunity.
- Jupiter begins this year in Taurus (your fourth house), where it has been since last summer. You may find yourself redecorating your home, planting a new garden, or contemplating a move. Taurus moves into your fifth house, Gemini, on June 11, where it will remain for the rest of the year. Your interests will switch from the domesticity of home to socializing.
- Uranus continues its seven-transit of Aries, where it will remain until 2018. Communication is highlighted, between friends, neighbors, and family. In general, this transit is good for community involvement.
- Saturn spends most of the year in Libra, in your ninth house. This makes for a good time to broaden your knowledge, whether by returning to school or taking a new class. Your efforts might be rewarded when Saturn moves into your tenth house (Scorpio) of career in early October.
- Pluto spends the entire year in Capricorn, where it will transit until 2024 (your twelfth house). Pluto will, in some way, transform your life in the coming years, heightening your intuition and helping you transform your life for the healthier and the better.
