The Season of the Water Bearer (Aquarius Season)

The Sun is now in Aquarius; the archetype of the rebel, revolutionary, and truthsayer.

Ruled by Uranus (modern ruler), the planet of individuation, and Saturn (traditional ruler), the planet of solitude, this season calls us to connect with our authentic self, and sort out who we truly are from the societal and cultural expectations we have been conditioned by.

Aquarius’ evolutionary goal is develop one’s individuality. By thinking outside the box, questioning authority, and resisting the pressure to conform, Aquarius has the capacity to be true to themselves and follow their inner guidance regardless of how they may be judged or perceived by others even if it means standing alone. These are the characteristics that mark the greatest revolutionaries throughout history.

Aquarius is associated with the eleventh house (of dreams, goals, alliances/networks) and is a fixed sign which means that for the sign of the revolutionary, committing to goals or building a future that aligns with your heart (where your outer life reflects your inner life) is essential. It’s through being true to yourself that what you value and prioritize becomes clear. Once we get there, we can make our stand and connect with those who share a common purpose.

Aquarius (season) is here to teach us that in order to meet ourselves in our authenticity, it requires unraveling the layers that we have been conditioned by; Aquarius understands that being anything other than yourself isn’t sustainable.The sign of the rebel shows us that it takes bravery to against external (societal, familial, cultural) expectations and pressures.

Aquarius season is here to teach us that if our life doesn’t feel authentic to who we are, we can redefine our priorities and go in a new direction. You just have to be brave enough to follow what your heart knows to be true.
