on january 20th, the sun shifts into the sign that bridges us between the material world (capricorn) and the spiritual world (pisces), which is aquarius. during aquarius season, we are being called to detach from the concepts we have of our identity, release limiting thoughts and ideologies that invite obstruction into our lives, acknowledge the role we play in our community by being the change we want to see in the world - thinking of ways we could make a difference, being at service to others where we’re not neglecting ourselves, expand our perception and sight of our future (clear the way - 20/20 vision), and looking toward our future by reassessing our goals (making sure they align with our soul’s purpose).
WHAT TO EXPECT:
a lack mentality: lack of confidence, lack of inspiration, lack of hope, doubt
or the complete opposite: increase in creativity, discovery of innovative ideas, hope, motivation
reveal of information that influences us to break from circumscriptions (global awareness)
rebellion against systems of control
feeling lost due to a renewed sense of self (almost like an outer body experience)
the urge to make adjustments in your life to live more purposeful and with meaning
clearer vision, clearer perspective
desire to learn something new (through others or studying) and sharing what you know
new ideas and opportunities may present themselves to you
the urge to make changes to your identity or appearance
having an aha moment - realizing something or being made aware of something

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF AQUARIUS SEASON:
ENVISION YOUR FUTURE
aquarius is all about expanding their vision and getting a clearer perspective of where they want to be in life to bring purpose and meaning to their goals or the life they live.
now would be a good time to envision, expand, evolve, and exceed beyond the expectations you may have held for yourself. it is not the time to play yourself small or doubt your capabilities. if you dream big, you have to put in big effort.
suggestions | do not take on more than you’re able to handle. beware of scattered energy as creativity is heightened during this time. find a niche that you’re passionate about.
DEFINING YOURSELF WITHOUT EXTERNAL VALIDATION
when it comes to the uniqueness, individuality, and originality of aquarius, they could sometimes get lost in hiding behind identities that are not within alignment of their true self or accumulate concepts of themselves that they’re truthfully unable to uphold because they want to appear “too different”.
“WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT MAKES YOU, YOU?”
throughout the years of living, a lot of us have naturally conformed to the programming of our own upbringings as the way to live life; the karmic imprinting of our ancestors as our fight; the deep rooted thoughts, beliefs, morals, ethics, and values we’ve developed or learned as what’s right; the identities and concepts we have of ourselves and others as our truth; the social, economical, political, and religious conventions as what we should abide by; and the ideologies of communism, socialism, and capitalism as what we should follow. all of these instances we have formed an attachment to in some way for us to believe that this is what defines us as who we truly are, but who would we be without all of that?
suggestions | expand your perception and detach from the idea of how you see yourself and how you see others. don’t try too hard trying to stand out. avoid comparing yourself to others. ask yourself: what makes me so different than others? what is real and what isnt? do i have to uphold this idea of who i am in order to project what i think i am? how can i become a part of the group/community without losing myself in others?
FREEDOM VS. CONFORMITY
transitioning from authoritative and structural capricorn season to the rebellious, free-spirited aquarius season could bring contradicting energy to the table when it comes to wanting to break free of something versus conformity.
for example | the systems, laws, rules, and regulations are slowly beginning to reveal itself as inaccurate, corrupted, and/or oppressive amongst humanity. the collective is aware of the divide it’s causing and the box it’s putting us in so now we’re fighting to break free from it - to dismantle it through extrication.
so for this to apply to all areas of our life, we need to remember that although we find safety with staying in our comfort zone and draw more towards the things we’re familiar with, our box can only hold so much of our growth. the world around us and within us is changing everyday and its important that if something makes you feel boxed in, restrained, confined, or limited, you should release/remove yourself from it. understand that conformity can no longer be an option.
suggestions | free yourself from restrictions, limitations, mental imprisonments, etc. get out of your comfort zone.
sun in aquarius reading
date this energy will be felt | january 20-february 18
your faith is being tested due to frustration over the results of something, whether they’re coming in slow or not at all. you’re searching for answers and signs (signs for what to do next, if you should move on or let go, if some form of progress will kick in soon, etc), but you’re unable to see them. you’re beginning to lose faith - feeling uninspired, unmotivated, having doubt, feeling hopeless, or helpless, but little do you know, progression is being made (even if you don’t think it is because you can’t see it) and there’s movement of something on it’s way to you (even if it’s not in the form you expected it to be). it could be news, opportunities, or experiences that will show up leading you right where you need to be so do not allow these minor set backs, negative thoughts, and challenges throw you off track or cloud your sight/judgement.
the reason why things are not falling through right now could be because:
there’s not enough planning - you’re too focused on the outcome that you’re looking for quick or easy ways to get to the end result. spirit sees you trying to take the easy route and the energy of the universal 4 year won’t accept the very minimum. go back to the drawing board if you want long-term results!
your vision isn’t clear enough - you need to reassess your goals/acknowledge what’s working and remove what isn’t. like i said, go back to the drawing board!
you’re forcing the situation or trying too hard - this could create a blockage in the flow of divine timing. stop trying to push for an outcome and let what is for you to happen to you. too much control can be destructive to your soul’s path.
you need to take a break - nurture yourself (self-care/inner work, rest), reconnect with your soul to rediscover passion or a sense of self.
the outcome of this reading shows that you will receive the answers or results you’ve been hoping for, just like i’ve mentioned above about the movement and progression coming your way. things will come to fruition as long as you don’t let your frustrations overpower you. remember to keep your eyes open in case what you’ve been asking for doesnt come in the form you were hoping for it to come in.
another message from spirit | now is the time for you to open your heart and allow yourself to be vulnerable. there’s energy in the air that supports you to attract a loving connection that will bring you spiritual and emotional fulfillment. some people will experience a stage of transition in their love life, whether this is progression within a committed partnership (deepening the bond), a new relationship (or friendship) entering your life, detaching from someone who’s been holding you back, leaving a relationship, or possible pregnancy.
