Happy Aquarius Season Dear Ones,
Aquarius is symbolised by the Water Bearer yet Aquarius is an Air sign – the realm of Aquarius is the thinking and intellectual realm. The Water Bearer symbolises the pouring out of knowledge and information to others and Aquarius is known as a humanitarian sign concerned primarily with the collective evolution over the pursuit of individual accolades.
For the next nineteen years Pluto (planet of transformation) will be in Aquarius making every Aquarius season an opportunity for self-discovery and evolution.
The Sun and Venus meet in Aquarius
This Aquarius Season (20th Jan) starts with a meeting between Venus (beauty and love) and Pluto in Aquarius – this is a great day to embark on a community project that is focused on love as a vehicle for positive change.
Mercury (planet of communication) enters Aquarius on the same day and makes links with the Sun and Pluto. Again, an opportunity to use our voices to call-in change and to be in community. On 23rd Jan we have Mars (planet of drive and ambition) joining the Aquarius gang. Giving the confidence we need to create real meaningful change when we work as part of a group or collective.
On the 26th Jan we have one of the most important astrological happenings of the year – Neptune enters Aries where it will remain until 2038.
Followed shortly after by another era-defining transit – on 14th Feb Saturn (planet of structure boundaries and life lessons) enters Aries. Aries is about leadership, Neptune relates to themes around illusion and imagination. Saturn is about rules and learning lessons. Put this all together and we may find ourselves collectively challenged when we find ourselves in leadership roles or we may seek to challenge our leaders.
1st Feb Full Moon in Leo
The Full Moon in Leo is on 1st Feb and it asks us to shed any blocks that stand in the way of our confidence and joy. This Full Moon is also a catalyst for change because there is tension between the collection of planets in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo.
Mercury and Venus enter Pisces
On 6th Feb Mercury moves into Pisces and on 10th Feb Venus enters Pisces. This makes matters of the heart more emotional and communication a little more muted.
Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
Aquarius season culminates with a New Moon in Aquarius and an Annular Solar Eclipse on 17th Feb. This is not a day for rituals. This is a day for deep meditation and for practices that take us into a deeper state of self-awareness.
Yoga for Aquarius Season
Aquarius corresponds to the Heart Chakra when the Heart Chakras expresses itself as community, friendship and platonic love. The Heart Chakra also links to the element of Air. To work with the Heart Chakra on the mat try backbends such as Camel, Fish Pose and Bow Pose, light green candles, practice an Air Mandala flow, work with the Heart Meridian in Yin Yoga.
The specific flavour of this Aquarius season connects the Solar Plexus Chakra, The Heart Chakra and the Throat Chakra. The Solar Plexus is about change (Pluto), The Heart Chakra is about community (Venus and Aquarius) and the Throat Chakra is about using our voices to express our wishes (Mercury).
Practice in community, join a kirtan and practice Karma yoga.
The signature of this season is creating change through collective efforts. This is a time to be part of a community that is a force for good in the world.

Happy Aquarius Season!

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
With Mercury, Mars, Pluto and Venus all in your sign you will feel motivated and aligned but perhaps also a little restless. You want change and you want it now. You may be seized by an uncontrollable desire to extricate yourself from certain groups and to form new alliances. The Full Moon (1st Feb) in your opposite sign of Leo puts the spotlight on one to one relationships and it could be a moment to reassess things, to draw up a new set of rules or to reexamine your desires. Aquarius Season culminates with a New Moon and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius (17th Feb) this New Moon is ruled by Saturn who, on that day, will be with Neptune in Aries. Something that was previously hidden from you may suddenly be revealed and the revelation could push you into a leadership role or onto a new path of self-inquiry.
Yoga: Work with the element of Fire to help embrace change. Practice yoga with a partner who can spot you in poses, see if you can find something new in the pose by being observed by another person. Work on strength building and flexibility.
Herbal Astrology: Valerian – Acceptance = order, loosening, acceptance, embracing imperfection, persistence, flow.
“There is a certain amount of flow needed in order to enjoy creativity and growth. Don’t exhaust yourself in the details; embrace your imperfections”
Pisces
Over the last couple of years you may have felt like you had to censor or edit yourself in some way or you may have struggled to find clarity with regards to certain matters. As Saturn and Neptune both shift into Aries you may experience a sudden flash of clarity and renewed sense of freedom and joy. The Full Moon (1st Feb) asks you to attend to health matters and to make some much needed changes to your routine. The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius (17th Feb) invites you to pause and reflect – if you do so, you will receive some important insight on how to improve your financial status through small daily actions.
Yoga: Embrace a new found sense of freedom by practicing creative and expansive sequences. Dancer’s Pose is a great way to embody the sense of spaciousness you will hopefully enjoy with Saturn’s departure from your sign. By cultivating consistent habits and routines you will be able to navigate through the upcoming eclipse with clarity and grace.
Herbal Astrology: Hibiscus – Joy = nectar, grace, sensuality, beauty, divine feminine, nurturing, creativity, abundance.

Aries: March 21 – April 19
Aquarius season thrusts you into the spotlight – two new planetary cycles begin in your sign as Saturn and Neptune return to Aries for an extended and significant stay. Discipline, clarity and imagination are required of you and you are being called upon to step into your natural role of leader. You will be tested but you are up to the challenge. The Full Moon in Leo (1st Feb) asks you to tap into your creative powers whilst the New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Aquarius invite you to understand your role within an existing group dynamic and to decide whether you wish to continue to pour your efforts into it or you desire to break free.
Yoga: The importance of discipline can not be overstated, cultivate it on the mat and you will learn how to take it out into the world too. Regular practice is the key to navigating Saturn in Aries. Build strength and work with Drishti (gaze point) to help channel your efforts in the right direction. Tune into your Third Eye chakra through meditation and harness the power of Neptune in Aries.

When Saturn enters Aries (14th Feb) you enter a new two year cycle that puts the focus on developing good habits with regards to honing your intuition. When your ruler Venus moves into Pisces on 10th Feb you’ll be feeling more connected to your friends and community.
Yoga: As Taurus loves stability and this is a month of change, it’s important to work with the root chakra. Grounding poses such as yogi squat and seated forward fold can help weather the transitions. Enjoy the energy of Venus in Pisces by attending a Cacao ceremony or Soundbath. You are now entering a two year period where you will see immense benefits if you hone your meditation practice.

Yoga: It’s all about the interplay between stability vs growth. Your practice should help you to build firm foundations but from those foundations there must also be space for change – think planted but not stuck.

The shift of Saturn into Aries will bring a period of disciplined study and may restrict your travel options but this will help you to cultivate deeper connections closer to home.
Yoga: Partner yoga can be helpful at this time. How can you evolve your practice by working with another person? This is also a great time to work on the contrast between being supported in pose vs being unsupported. How do poses feel different with and without props? Try doing a pose with props and without. Notice what you notice. There is something to be gained from each experience. Are you comfortable with being supported or do you resist it?
Herbal Astrology: Cacao – Initiation = Initiation, spiritual test, revelation, access to the cosmic heart, divine love, light beings, channelling languages of light.

Yoga: With changes coming on the work and home front, it’s a good time to find the stability within. Opt for practices that ground and nourish.
