Read your horoscope for the Sun in Aquarius
Back to the Future
A Sun in Aquarius is a Sun that’s very far from home. In the sign opposite Leo, its golden kingdom, Sol takes on the hooded guise of a vagabond, a rebel, an outsider. The solar season of Aquarius has a lot to do with reaching for creative solutions in the spaces where you don’t feel like you have an insider’s birthright to shine or be seen. During this time, we become ourselves more fully by inventing ourselves on purpose.
This year, Aquarius Season ushers us into the future by giving us a surplus of forward momentum. Both Venus and Mercury wrap up their retrogrades this month. Meanwhile, a slowly mounting sextile between Jupiter and Uranus goes exact on February 17th, infusing the zeitgeist with sky-high, outside-of-the-box daydreams. The New Moon in Aquarius on February 1st mingles with the now-separating Saturn / Uranus square, giving us a chance to emotionally recenter ourselves within the rubble of yesterday’s order.
First, though, a council of planets convene in Capricorn. Mercury passes through the heart of the Sun in Aquarius on January 23rd, whispering helpful clues into our ears as we continue puzzling our way through its retrograde. Then it backpedals into Capricorn on January 25th, where it will station direct on February 3rd.
Mars and Venus Rendezvous
Meanwhile, Mars also enters Capricorn on January 24th, where it takes on special superpowers for the next few weeks. In Capricorn, Mars masters the art of motivation by making one strategic move up the mountain at a time. Here, Mars brings out the movie montage scene, where we all cut our teeth and become a force to be reckoned with.
This year, Mars makes a conjunction with Venus as the planet of love and pleasure stations direct. Venus has been retrograde since late December, and the stamina Mars offers now is a much appreciated boost. Venus and Mars will be closely conjunct through February, March, and to some degree, April. The lust that stirs within us now will have us seeking moments of peak intensity.
Venus and Mars reach the event horizon of their kiss on February 16th, the same day the Full Moon in Leo makes a grand spectacle at the bendings of the lunar nodes. Sometimes we go quietly when we reach a turning point in the road. Other times, we do it with big drama, passion, and flair. This is one of those moments.

This Aquarius Season, go ahead and marvel at the strides you’ve made over the last year within a movement, coalition, or community effort. Remember how heavy-handed that directive felt in February of 2021? And wouldn’t you say things are starting to gel now after a year of being in transition?

Cancer & Cancer Rising
When you’re rebuilding your life on a foundation of grief and existential dread, it’s easy to trick yourself into believing the work can never be finished. This Aquarius Season, what if you rejected the entire notion of “normal”? What if the shadow, the fundamental flaw, became the baseline for your wholeness?

One whole solar revolution later, you’re beginning to see the light. Or at least the shape of the sturdy new precedent you’ve set in your relationships over the last year. Laying the groundwork has likely been a collaborative effort. Still, a lot has hinged on your willingness to approach partnership like its own entity.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
You love a good project, and this past year has been an extended opportunity to reform your own maintenance habits. As the Aquarius Sun scatters its impartial light over your routine chores, work life, and self-care rituals, you might be able to better appreciate how much stronger you’ve become simply by prioritizing your wellness.
Still, it’s good to remember that your health isn’t a to-do list item you can put a checkmark next to. You are in a state of perpetual becoming, and that means the goal posts are always moving.
As your ruling planet, Mercury, continues its retrograde in this part of your chart, it delivers a lucid flash of insight on January 23rd. Follow up on any antidotes, aches, or life hacks that vie for your attention.
Mercury will then backpedal into Capricorn, where it stations direct on February 3rd. All work and no play makes you dull and cranky. The good news is that there’s also a great deal of momentum building for you around pleasure, self-expression, and good times.

Libra & Libra Rising
You’ve been busy this past year, and not in the “gruntwork busy” type of way. Since last winter, you’ve been enthralled by a grand process of labor, a significant birthing, a far-reaching creation. The Aquarius Sun turns the overhead light on what you’ve made.
Don’t assume you can’t still be in the process of making, either. Mercury is wrapping up a retrograde in Aquarius, aiding you through a revision process. You’ll hear the remix as it’s supposed to sound most clearly on January 23rd, when Mercury passes through the heart of the Sun.
You’ll also be pulling significant inspiration from your roots while you’re tending to your flowers. Your ruling planet, Venus, stations direct in your house of origins on January 29th. By then, Mercury is beside Venus, also pivoting forward. If your ancestors give you a song or a poem to sing, carry it forward so you can add your own verse.
Venus and Mars link up at the bottom of your chart on February 16th, the same day as the Leo full moon.

Don’t be shy — the world loves to see it.

It’s been quite the year for putting down roots or beginning a new chapter in your family history. Now, as the Aquarius Sun matter-of-factly showcases the progress you’ve made since last winter, kindling your hearth takes on new associations and meanings.
Remain open to the narrative threads that are still in the process of revising themselves. Mercury is wrapping up its retrograde, and it dips into your writing corner before resuming direct motion.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
The last couple years have seen you manifest more than one brilliant idea. Now, as the Aquarius Sun reveals the brilliance in your discourse, you’re beginning to see how far your ideas can travel.
As Mercury continues its retrograde in Aquarius, it snarls your commute, but aids you in an important revision process. Brilliant thoughts flood your mindmaps on January 23rd. When the right words find you, write them down.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
When you look back at the last 12 months, what critical foundations have you built that help you feel a sense of abundance and respect for your material well-being? What’s special about right now is that you might finally be ready to admit you’ve done something substantial.
It’s okay if the work isn’t yet finished. You, too, are a work in progress. As Mercury continues its retrograde through your financial corner, certain things you may have fudged come back up for review. A missing receipt turns up on January 23rd, clarifying a puzzle that had you spinning in circles.
This Aquarius Season, a bigger story might be found in the council of planets gathering in Capricorn. In some ways, this is about you launching your best self into the world.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
When the Sun is in Aquarius, it’s either your birthday or it feels like your birthday. This year, your annual signal to rise and shine supplies you with the right kind of lighting to really see the fruits of the personal growth you’ve done over the last year.
Don’t assume that you can’t be a work in progress, though. Mercury is still retrograde in Aquarius, aiding you on a recon mission to recover lost fragments of your story. Open yourself up to the bright realizations and soul retrievals that burst into your awareness on January 23rd.
There’s a New Moon in Aquarius on February 1st, too. What would it mean to emotionally integrate all the changing and refocusing you’ve done over the course of your personal revolution? Even if your foundation is still setting, can you center yourself in your current state of unfolding?
At least part of this process will have to occur in the dark. Mercury backtracks into Capricorn before stationing direct on February 3rd, and Venus also ends its retrograde around this time.
The soul-searching of the last few weeks, the resurrection of desires you’ve previously denied and disowned, gets a boost of forward momentum. Knowing what you want might mean you have to act on that intelligence. Understand that most of this amounts to shadow-boxing with yourself.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
If Aquarius Season empowers you to embrace your inner recluse, then at least you’re right on time for your cosmically scheduled nap. Being porous and sensitive doesn’t predispose you toward having strong energetic boundaries. It does mean you probably need them most of all.
Truthfully, you’ve been doing important work on this over the last year. Give yourself credit for the necessary alone time you’ve embraced, the shadow explorations you’ve given form to, the personal demons you’ve named, and the mental health protocols you’ve established. If it’s not obvious to you yet, a moment of insight pierces the veil on January 23rd.
To be clear, your social life is not exactly laying fallow at this time. There’s a great deal of momentum gathering in the broader movements, coalitions, and communities you belong to, and they might require your exquisite attention as a milestone is reached or a corner is turned near the beginning of February. Balancing the collective’s needs with your own is the theme of the month.
You might be too excited by all the ideas you’re buzzing with anyway. Jupiter is slowly approaching a sextile to Uranus, and this means you, especially, will feel pregnant with all kinds of shower epiphanies that might actually lead to something. Give your imagination plenty of breathing room to ping the live edges of your awareness.
