Aquarius season 2023 invites you to connect to new ideas, cosmic consciousness and embrace more freedom in your life.
The transition away from the earthy and pragmatic structuring of Capricorn season 2022, into freedom loving Aquarius season, shifts the energy into zones of independence, innovation and enlightenment. Astrologically speaking, this weather is ideal for brainstorming, practicing non-attachment and connecting to the higher vision for your life. After an emotional Cancer Full Moon January 2023 - it's potential you may have experienced some – temporary – setbacks. Luckily, Aquarius season 2023 is here just in time for you to get right back on course!
If you had consciously approached Capricorn season by creating a solid framework for your goals moving forward into 2023, Aquarius season is here to revolutionize them. This is thinking outside of the box energy!
Aquarius, which is the Latin word for aquārius (water carrier) is the zodiacal archetype of radical individuality. Often mistaken for a water sign (‘aqua’ which is a Latin root word for water) our rebellious Aquarius is more of a wave-maker than a water-bearer and is very much at home in the realms of its ruling element of air.
A true eccentric and a fixed sign ruled by the planet Uranus, Aquarius embodies all things radical. Concerned with the plight of social change, networking, invention, innovation, humanitarianism, political activism, communication and technology: If the essence of Aquarius was distilled down into a Netflix series, it would be a riveting Sci-Fi epic adventure called ‘Paradigm Shift’.
Ruler of the eleventh house of community, Aquarians are inspired by the visionary future of a better world. So get futuristic and ride the cosmic wave of the Aquarian energy and bring more originality, reformation, freedom and weirdness into your life.
When does Aquarius season 2023 start?
