So Aquarius season begins on January 20th, and it ends on February 18th and Aquarius season in a lot of ways feels a little bit like the first chapter of what's coming in 2020. I would say that Capricorn season was finishing up 2019 and maybe even finishing up the last decade right? We have the change of the decade and Aquarius season is Opening us up to what's new what we want to be moving towards and for you you want to be moving towards actually a total restructuring of your everyday life. You want to be thinking about how you're taking care of yourself and taking care of your responsibilities in a new and a different way and it feels to me like you're ready to lighten up in some ways and apply yourself differently and when I say lighten up, I mean that That you want to take a burden off of yourself that you've been carrying for. I think a long time that in its simplest form. I could call it insecurity I could call it self criticism. There's been a kind of drive that you've been working with for again the last 10 years plus that has you, you know needing to create in the world or needing to Know yourself as someone who has a particular kind of capacity and this drive has been probably for many of you very productive and it's also been grueling and it seems to me like there's been some way that you've been functioning for a while that is in a lot of ways motivated by perfectionism by critique, right? And this is classic for a Virgo tempered. Ying so that's not any new information but it does seem like you've kind of moved through a particular phase where these Tendencies of perfectionism and critique have been incredibly strong and when it comes to your authenticity to your expression like who you are, you know do other people like you this is one of the places where it's really going to gather and accumulate And when it comes to any way that you might think of yourself as creative as being a Creator and whether you're creating songs or Gardens or food or children, whatever it is that you are kind of responsible for giving birth into the world. This is a site for fixation. And for this feeling of you could do it better. You should do it again. You got to try harder, you know, this this Driving grueling force and something is starting to shift for you. And what it seems to me is that all of this work is leading you to a place where you really know your capacity and you know your preferences and you know, where you get when you beat yourself up and work really hard and you've understood that you can get somewhere that probably feels better when you don't do. But when you also stay disciplined and so it's this balancing Place between application, you know, you want to apply yourself you want to do things. Well, and you want to keep working on yourself, but there also needs to be release and I'm thinking right now about yogic philosophy and this kind of suggestion that a sustainable practice that a quote unquote good practice. Has both surrender and discipline. So we show up we continue to do it. We're there for our practice. And then we also we let go we let go of the outcome of the practice. You know, it may be that we never get to the place where we imagine that we could be so we accept what's present and it feels like this is kind of an energetic space that you're getting too and that you're recognizing that there might be or there definitely is more to life than whatever it is that you've been fixated on. And as you understand that there's more to life you want to start to change your life and this might mean that you want to change your schedule or you want to change the way that you're orienting towards your work towards your labor or you might want to change the way that self-care fits into your daily practice. And this month Aquarius season is a time to start to really roll out some of these changes to start to feel into them experiment with doing Things in different ways and this is a big theme and I really want to encourage you to think about sustainability as your priority and sustainability is something that you can come back to every day with some degree of energy. It doesn't always need to be joyful. But you want to come back and you can come back. So for example new year new me ideas if you are moving into a new phase in your life where you're prioritizing a reprioritizing self-care. Don't set yourself an impossible task, you know, I'm going to like whatever lose a million pounds of fat and gained a million pounds of muscle and I'm going to like do this really hard thing five days a week. That's probably not sustainable. You might be setting yourself up for frustration and then a feeling of disappointment. So choose nourishing activities for yourself and choose activities that you can come back to every single day. They're not going to hurt you. They're not going to blow you out. They were going to help you build systematically this kind of new idea for your life that you're thinking into. So whether this is a total revamping of the way that you're working or some new way of being in your body. I don't know but it definitely has to do with the concrete material structures of your everyday life and how you are changing them. So work systematically work objectively and work with the intention of Freeing yourself up a little bit kind of feeling like you can move into a new thing into a new idea. Now Aquarius season is a big season because there are a couple of things happening planet airily that are really significant. So the first is that mercury will begin one of its retrograde phases and we'll have three this year Mercury's retrograde extends between February 3rd and March 16th. That's the entire Mercury retrograde phase. So the beginning of Mercury retrograde and the end or what are called Shadow periods. This is when Mercury is moving direct over the terrain that it retrogrades back onto so the shadow period at the beginning is February 3rd through March 5th Mercury is retrograde, March 5th through 16 and then from March 16th through March 30th Mercury is finishing up its shadow phase. This retrograde will be spent mostly in the sign Pisces when Mercury is retrograde. Pisces we have classic Mercury retrograde cautions times 10. So the feelings of unclarity or confusion or missed facts, like missed information definitely comes up with Mercury retrograde and with Pisces. We've got an increased feeling of dispersed energy dispersed information. The mind isn't moving forward. It's not moving in a logical linear simple fashion. It is really permeable to environmental influences. It can be really spaced out. It can be really dreamy and it's it's very much at the whim or at The Whimsy of what is getting picked up from the subtle planes. So for you Mercury retrograde this particular cycle has a lot to do with relationships and with how you position yourself in relationships and what your Agreements are with other people and Your expectations for those agreements how you preface them etcetera in your relationships. I'm mostly talking about people who you're partnering with or people who you need to collaborate with in some kind of significant way, but I'm also talking about the you know, stranger that you meet when you're going out for coffee and you have a 10-minute conversation with them. These are people that you're meeting on an equal level and at the beginning inning of this horoscope. I talked about you've been kind of working through a self-confidence project and this piece around relationships is an important piece of this project in the sense that you're I think learning something in this retrograde about what happens for you in relationship that is kind of automatic that's invisible that seems to maybe come out of nowhere and you don't always have control and I think for Goes especially control is something that feels important and desired and of course with relationships, you can't ever control other people. So there's something that that really wants to get worked through and reflected on for you about these kind of subtle Realms with in relationships where you're picking up on vibes from people or there's information that gets passed but it's not particularly clear or there's misinformation that gets passed or you might might have fantasies about who someone is like this idea of oh, you know, this person is amazing and you blow them up in your mind and then you come to find out that there's someone totally different or you have relationships where you're you know, this person is amazing. They're awesome and your belief in their amazing awesome qualities actually allows those qualities to come out in them. Like you have a kind of exalted capacity in relationship that allows these, you know, really Beautiful qualities of people to come out. But either way we're working with a kind of subtle mystical and maybe sometimes very ungrounded or foggy sense that you could have in your dealings with other people and I want to encourage you from Mercury retrograde to be really curious about your interactions with other people and to try and be as objective as possible. So to take yourself kind of back out of the situation a little bit try and observe it or try and watch it. It and notice when you get really attached to ideas about how something should be or what it's going to look like the potential of this Transit is that you get much more in touch with your intuition, especially when it comes to your relationships and also that you might have a really profound collaboration kind of come through in this time and the ability to open to another person vibrationally that can increase your creativity that can increase your inspiration and that really kind. Expand your perspective of them and of yourself Venus will Transit Aires from February 7th through March 16th. When Venus is in Aries. We appreciate our ability to self Define to initiate from our own energy to challenge ourselves Aries is a very self-identified sign and Venus represents pleasure enjoyment connection and magnetism. This is kind of the sweet principal you This transit to enjoy yourself to enjoy the ways that you are a self starter the ways that you enjoy autonomy individualism your own freedom and also use this transit to help nurture and Foster Freedom within your relationships. You definitely want to focus on freedom for yourself as well as for others, and this has a lot to do with what I was just talking about with Mercury's retrograde appreciate people for who they are do your Ask to see them as individuals not as a projection or an extension of yourself, which can be really hard especially in long-term significant relationships. We tend to take each other for granted and project onto one another what we used to know or what we think we know and so you can definitely use this transit to exalt freedom to use it as grounding space for your own initiation and catalyzation of projects of ways that you want to be in the world and to support those who are important to you to experience and enjoy their own freedom from February 16th through March 31st. The planet Mars will Transit Capricorn the beginning of this horoscope when I was talking about this self improvement project that you've been on or this kind of fixation and intensity around your creative energy and what you're putting out into the world. I was talking about Capricorn now Mars coming into this part of your chart is bringing energy its meaning Heat Compassion and force and potentially you can really use this energy to cement in some of the motivation that you gained through this long process of self-determination and you know intensity and fixation. Let Mars is presence help you clear out what doesn't need to be in your field. What doesn't need to be part of your focus. Let Mars is Transit be a boost to your self-confidence. And not an internalised battle. So you definitely want to use this time to affirm your Creative Energy to practice confidence with yourself. Even if it's repeating a mantra and fake it till you make it kind of idea, but that energy is great for you to work on Creative projects for you to increase your energy for whatever it is that you're doing and how you're Desiring to express yourself in the world will have a new moon on January 24th at 4. Grades of Aquarius again Aquarius represents a new idea for you and the way that you want to be working in the world the way you want to be handling your jobs your duties your responsibilities. Let this new moon be a time to set intention for the next 12 months. Think about how you want to organize your life and how you want to attend to your responsibilities and your well-being your General Health in a new way on February 8th, and 9th will have a full moon at 20. Freeze of Leo that means the sun is at 20 degrees of Aquarius and this full moon is asking you to open up your heart and believe in your authentic expression. There's a lot of encouragement coming in for your creativity from a more intuitive and spiritual realm and it would be a great time for you to get quiet and spend some time alone really kind of feeling into your heart feeling into your truth. You know, when you think about what is it that you are here to do and how is it that you want to express in your Life connect to your higher self. That would be a good way to think about it. So make sure to check your natal chart if you have placements at 4 degrees of Aquarius or 20 Aquarius or 20 Leo these lunations will have extra meaning for you in terms of those planets and definitely check in with me at embodied astrology on Instagram or your inboxes for the lunar attunements that I send out.
