You know it was legal to kill people based on their religion and enslave people based on their skin colour, right? Yeah, laws are arbitrary. Time to bring the system down. For good.

Aquarius season brings clarity

In many ways, we have woken up. In others, we’re still asleep. This Aquarius season is bringing us a lot more clarity. The veil has lifted and it’s not coming back down again. We’re privileged to now be able to decide which side of history we want to be on.

As stubborn as fixed signs are – and Aquarius is one of them – once presented with new evidence, Aquarians do change their minds and their hearts, even though it is said we don’t have the latter. We fight for justice and are often declared weird and freaks because the world needs to catch up to us. Let this season bring on your wildest ideas and follow them into the depth of it all. The clarity you’ll gain from stepping into who you TRULY are is unmatched.

Eccentricity galore

What is also unmatched is the amount of planets in Aquarius this season. The Sun, of course, being first on the rota. By the time you read this, after 2.08 pm GMT on 20 January 2024, the Sun has moved into the best starcluster of the universe. Then, just over 10 hours later, Pluto will follow and bring us 20 years of revolution with a brief last stunt in Capricorn later this year.

Whilst Venus will first enter Capricorn on the 23rd, we will also see the planet of love and money move into Aquarius on 16 February 2024. So, we’ll go from creating structures within our one-to-one commitments to requiring more freedom and independence. Saying “no” more often will suit you well throughout the whole season.

Mercury enters the Aquarius chat on 5 February 2024 and brings us new ideas, a new courage to speak our mind and an urge to stand out just for the sake of it. Finally, Mars will bring some action to the table when it moves over on the 13th. Time to jump out of the box and destroy it, so nobody else will ever get into it again. You won’t fit into it anyway, so please stop trying.

Individuality, revolution and go time

On 25 January 2024 at 4.54 pm GMT, we will see the Full Moon in Leo illuminating our skies and hearts. Time to release absolutely everything that is not you. Those masks and shields? Yeah, they need to go. Look back at where you wanted to be when the Leo New Moon was around six months ago and evaluate how far you’ve come. Celebrate your wins, count your losses and move on. You can show the world who you are. Go on and do it.

Uranus stations direct two days later at 6.35 am GMT. Disruption has felt slow the past few months. The protests have lost momentum, people are tired. Well, time to step it back up because Uranus is on our side. In Taurus, it brings long-lasting change and gosh, are we here for it! This is also the last Retrograde ending until Mercury is doing the honours again in April. Use this time to run with it all!

The New Moon in Aquarius, on 9 February 2024 at 9.59 pm GMT, will bring a huge breath of fresh air. Think new ideas, new thoughts, new technology, a whole new way of reinventing yourself within the collective. Use this energy to set intentions for how you want to show up for what you believe in. Define what your role is in the revolution. And then make a plan to actually make it happen. Mars is ready to support you!

Feel constipated and on edge?

Aquarius is associated with our nervous system. So, this season you’d be well advised to do your best to regulate it. This is much easier said than done, especially for folks with trauma, so please take everything I say here with a pinch of salt. Sometimes, all you need is a dance in the kitchen or your bare feet on a patch of grass or in the sea to come back into your body and give your nervous system a path out of the dysregulated state. Other times, it’ll be a long-term project where you’ll have to work on routines and rituals and even – and I hate to say this as much as I hated doing it – working on your sleep cycle. In conclusion, we are very complicated plants with emotions. Take good care of yourself as best as you can. And don’t be afraid to ask for help or support.

Other body parts and meridians (points Chinese medicine assigns to certain parts of our bodies) associated with Aquarius are the achilles heel, the bladder and the large intestine. Particularly the latter two may cause you trouble this season. Our waste removal systems need loving attention. Always, but especially in Aquarius season. I won’t tell you what to eat, but I will tell you to make sure you’re hydrated. Drink, witch, drink! We need you strong for the next twenty years at least!

Honourable mention to all the Aquarians with headaches – all that thinking that we do causes a lot of them and I invite you to at least eliminate the ones caused by dehydration. Extra honourable mention for those of us who can tell our mental and emotional state by those headaches and migraines: Fucking listen. The more you get these, the more quickly you need to move away from that situation. It’s not doing you any good. Same for people who get their bowels in a twist. These things (the flare ups, not the chronic illnesses!) are all messengers. Please listen.

Right. I’m ready for this. Are you? Remember, if you’re not, you can always book a Soul Session for some seasonal guidance. Booking now for Aquarius season.

Stay magnificent. Stay witchy.
