Learn How Aquarius Can Help You Shine Your Brightest

In the northern hemisphere, the winter months that follow the holiday season tend to wear on people. It’s cold, it’s dark (but getting lighter every day!) and in many places there is little green to be seen. In an interesting twist, Aquarius season meets us here (January 20 - February 18) and Aquarius is anything but boring.

Aquarius is the sign of the zodiac that craves liberation and often has ideas outside the social norm. The unique, weird and/or innovative parts of the whole. It’s important to keep in mind that with these more “outrageous” expressions can also come feelings of exile, lack of belonging, and trauma. It can be difficult to live outside of the norm. Feeling alienated is hard. We all have moments where we fear being judged.

One of the lessons Aquarius wants us to learn is that there is a need for us to be ourselves, to be seen for who you are. It’s an important lesson to learn. Having the bravery to live authentically is believed to put you on the path that you are here to take.

Aquarius is also humanitarian. The universal citizen who shares their ideas for the betterment of the future. They tend to think of the group more than the individual. Aquarius has to do with the way our identity is involved with a network or community. Just be careful to keep your mind open to other ideas. Aquarius is not often a “middle of the road” thinker and can become stubborn in their thinking.

With Uranus as Aquarius’s modern ruler, the sign is often related to big leaps, surprise, and sudden liberation from limiting frameworks or stale situations. On February 9, 2024 we witness and experience the New Moon in Aquarius. New Moons are a great time to set intentions for what you want to bring into your life.

Take some time to reflect on your goals and how they benefit yourself as well as those around you. Write them all down. With this New Moon you have Aquarius on your side. Dream big. Take what may be your first step toward making them real.
