There’s a lot happening in your sign this year, Aquarius, let’s unpack it. First off, after such a long time churning through the Earth sign of Taurus (2018 – 2026), Uranus (your ruling planet) will make its move into Gemini after a brief taste test there last year. Here it will be until 2033 and this couldn’t be a more different vibe than its tenure in Taurus. As this electric satellite of new consciousness and innovations moves into a fellow air sign, the thinking pops off. Specifically, free thinking. Gemini is high in openness, curiosity and being able to take in all sides of a story or debate. This will be medicinal for the collective and it will also be medicinal for your sign as you do have the capacity to be fixed in your thinking. As in, once your mind is made up, it can feel immovable. But with this Gemini influence, you are more malleable and open. Your signs are elemental allies and it’s going to be incredibly interesting to see what new codes of life and living you are privy to in this time.

In July, the nodal axis will shift and the eclipses along with it, with the North Node in your sign and the South Node in your opposite sign of Leo, here until March 2028. The North Node equals the medicine. This axis is giving us many opportunities to see anywhere that we may be performing to the crowd (Leo) versus being in our own authenticity (Aquarius), where we are constricting ourselves to the ‘likeable’ parts (Leo) versus self-validating ourselves and finding our true community (Aquarius) as a result of being genuine. There are cosmic bonus points being handed out to everyone who is genuinely being themselves, not in a way that is elitist or cooler than thou (your shadow expressions), just real. Community is the medicine; we can all feel that. Not digital community, in-person community. That is always going to be medicinal for your sign, being amongst people who get you, having the freedom to add your piece to the collective puzzle, it’s Aquarian medicine and what you are here to show the rest of us, vibrant individuals making vibrant communities.

Pluto continues its very slow tenure in your sign (November 2024 – 2044), purging anything that needs to be brought up from your own underworlds. Particularly regarding power dynamics, hierarchy baloney, and all the ways you may unconsciously sabotage yourself. For example, feeling like you don’t belong but then wearing your individuality like it’s a ten-foot pole that keeps you remote and isolated from everyone else, thus confirming your own unconscious wound. You won’t have to go looking for the medicine here, whatever needs exorcising or integrating will make itself loud and clear and is a replenishing process, giving you back more of your own sunlight.
