Sun in Aquarius

The Sun is now travelling through the innovative Air sign, Aquarius, entering there yesterday, January 20th. The Sun in this Fixed sign of the zodiac focuses on ideas, groups and standing up for the individual's right to independence. Aquarians by birth are generally interesting people who tend towards more unconventional and exciting pursuits, especially if they stimulate the mind and deductive reasoning. Logic takes precedence over emotions.

Sometimes, these natives are so focused on their rights of individual freedom that they can appear aloof, when in actuality, they desire to be part of a group defending the rights of individuals. They are at their best when thinking outside the box and brainstorming new ideas that will benefit the whole. Aquarian energy can appear as the rebel against conventional mores, the maverick explorer of new concepts, or the inventor of a technological breakthrough. Wherever this energy shows up in your life, you can use it for something exciting and new!

The Moon joined the Sun in Aquarius at 3:53pm on January 21st, at the New Moon, bringing together our innermost need for connection and our outer drive for independence and innovation. With both Mars and Mercury now out of their retrograde phases, all the planets in our Solar System are currently moving in direct motion, which gives us a four month time frame to move ahead with our plans towards reaching our goals.
