Aquarius Season 2025

The Sun in Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) illuminates the liminal space between what has been and what could be. Aquarius, traditionally ruled by Saturn and modernly ruled by Uranus, is the sign of the water-bearer: a conduit between the known and the unknown, the past and the future. This is the season to think big, dream wide, and build bridges that connect us to a better tomorrow.

Aquarius season highlights the importance of community, by revealing which friendships honor our individuality while connecting us to something greater. This is the season to get clear about who we stand with and what we stand for. As the fixed air sign, Aquarius asks us to commit to our vision and to align with the ideals that shape our communities and the future we’re building together.

With Mars Retrograde in Cancer throughout Aquarius Season, we are confronted with the ways we handle conflict and repair. Cancer, a sign rooted in emotions and home, softens Mars’s usual edge, turning its energy inward. This retrograde demands that we sit with the tension we’d rather avoid. It asks us to look at our emotional triggers, unpack the ways we approach conflict, and reflect on how we show up for the people who matter most.

Repair isn’t easy. It requires patience, vulnerability, and a willingness to face the mess. Mars Retrograde in Cancer reminds us that trust is rebuilt piece by piece. It calls us to strengthen the foundations of our relationships by showing up with tenderness, even when it’s hard.

On January 20th, Uranus stations at 23° Taurus, amplifying its electric charge. Taurus, the sign of stability and material security, is the ground Uranus has been disrupting, revealing where we cling to structures that no longer support our growth. Over these months of retrograde, we’ve been shown what holds us back. Now, as Uranus turns direct, we’re asked to act on those revelations, stepping into greater alignment with our freedom and truth.

Shortly after the Sun enters Aquarius, on January 21st, it conjuncts Pluto, which has just begun its 20-year transit through the sign — a meeting 246 years in the making. Pluto, the shadow-worker, dismantles the outdated and decayed, revealing what’s essential. In Aquarius, the focus shifts to collective power, technological evolution, and the ethics of progress. The Sun’s light burns away denial, forcing us to confront truths about the systems we live in and the communities we build.

Pluto in Aquarius magnifies the shadows of group dynamics, collective power, and progress itself. It asks us to confront the systems we’ve built, the communities we’ve joined, and the technologies we’ve embraced. The Sun’s transit through Aquarius is steeped in intensity, crossing Pluto’s transformative path as it begins its journey through this sign. Pluto in Aquarius unearths the shadows of collective systems, technology, and the human network: What power lies dormant in the masses? What truth has been buried beneath progress? What happens when we confront our reliance on the frameworks we’ve outgrown?

Uranus shakes, the Sun exposes, and Pluto transforms. Mars Retrograde asks us to repair what is broken, starting from within. Together, these energies provide the raw material to build the future. Handle them with intention.

First New Moon of 2025: Aquarius New Moon, Jan 29th at 7:36 am est

A New Moon is a collision of light and shadow, a moment when the Sun, our identity, merges with the Moon, our emotional core ... in the void. The Aquarius New Moon on January 29, at 7:36 AM EST, is a revolution. What will you create from the ashes of what’s no longer working?

On January 29, at 7:36 am EST, the Aquarius New Moon arrives with intensity (9°51' Aquarius). The Sun and the New Moon will form a conjunction with Pluto and Mercury. Pluto strips away illusions, exposing the truth underneath. In Aquarius, Pluto is working on a collective scale, revealing the cracks in systems, structures, and ideologies that no longer serve us. At the same time, it turns its transformative lens inward, asking you to confront your personal shadows. Transformation begins in the dark, and this New Moon is the fertile soil where your next chapter can take root.

It’s a crossroads where your inner truth collides with the pulse of the collective. It’s the call to revolution — within yourself first, and then out into the world. It’s the water-bearer’s task to hold the emotional weight of transformation while pouring out the healing waters of change. When Pluto and Mercury meet the Sun and Moon under this lunation, they amplify their power. Mercury also reminds us that words are powerful. How you frame your intentions — both to yourself and to the universe—matters. This New Moon wants you to listen, not just to the world around you but also to tune into the frequency of your inner voice and let it guide you forward.

What structures and systems in your life, whether emotional, intellectual, or physical—are no longer sustainable? Mercury’s role here is to guide us with clarity and intuition. Write it down. Speak it aloud. Share your vision with people who will keep you accountable for your growth.

This New Moon is also making a trine to Jupiter in Gemini, the planet of abundance and expansion. Jupiter’s influence brings a sense of optimism, opportunity, and growth, softening Pluto’s intensity. Where Pluto unearths and disrupts, Jupiter offers vision and possibility. Jupiter softens the blow of Pluto’s revelations, helping us see the possibility on the other side of the work. It reminds you that transformation, though uncomfortable, can open doors to abundance if you’re willing to walk through them.

This is a New Moon for visionaries and disruptors, for anyone ready to reimagine the world and its place within it. Aquarius reminds us that true innovation comes not from ego but from the collective good. Transformation begins here, in the dark, where the soil is richest. What will you plant? What will you grow?

Leo Full Moon, Feb 12th at 8:53 AM EST

On February 12, the Full Moon in Leo roars. Full Moons are culmination points, a moment when the seeds planted at the New Moon bear fruit. In Leo, this lunation invites us to stand in our light, unapologetically claiming our individuality and radiance. This Full Moon is locked in a tense square to Uranus in Taurus and opposes Mercury in Aquarius. The tension is palpable. Uranus, the planet of disruption and awakening, challenges the Moon’s desire for heartfelt expression and stability. This square may bring sudden changes, emotional breakthroughs, or disruptions in plans, urging us to embrace the unexpected and adapt.

Leo’s brilliance and self-expression collide with Uranus’s demand for disruption and Mercury’s insistence on logic and innovation. What happens when the heart (Leo) and the head (Aquarius) are at odds? When the urge to shine clashes with the need to break free from old patterns? When your authenticity confronts the frameworks you’ve outgrown?

Uranus shakes loose anything stagnant. It destabilizes the systems we’ve clung to for safety, pushing us toward growth. The discomfort is necessary, illuminating truths we may have avoided. What parts of yourself have been dimmed to fit into someone else’s narrative? Where have you traded authenticity for acceptance?

Let us embrace the fire of Leo and let it guide us towards our passions and desires. Let us be generous with ourselves and others, and remember that creativity, passion and play is a vital part of our being. Leo is the sign of creation, bringing loyalty, love, and generosity to all he touches. He brings with him the qualities of loyalty, love and generosity. He is the Sun, a magnanimous energy that radiates positivity and vitality. He is the light and fire that sustains life on this earth.

Aquarius / Leo Axis

The axis of Aquarius and Leo asks us to balance the personal with the collective. Aquarius teaches that no one is an island; our gifts are meant to serve the whole. Leo reminds us that the collective benefits most when individuals dare to shine.

The Leo-Aquarius axis asks us to find balance between self-expression and collective responsibility, between the wisdom of the heart and the brilliance of the mind. Leo rules the heart and spine, the center of our physical and spiritual being, reminding us to lead with love and generosity. Aquarius rules the nervous system, the intricate network that connects and communicates, showing us the power of perspective and collaboration.

Leo teaches us to embrace our light, our creativity, and our ability to love expansively. Aquarius pushes us to step outside of ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to use our unique gifts to serve the collective. Together, they ask us to align our heart’s fire with our mind’s clarity, to create with purpose, and to lead in ways that make a difference for those around us.

The Aquarius-Leo axis reminds us that innovation doesn’t mean sacrificing self-expression. How can you bring your unique gifts to the collective without losing yourself in the process? Together, they guide you to align personal authenticity with collective responsibility. Build the bridge between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Lead with heart and vision, and let the fire of Leo and the perspective of Aquarius inspire you to be the creator, healer, and innovator your world needs.
