This Aquarius Season, Pay It Forward

Welcome to the onset of Aquarius season. From 19th January to 18th February, the sun will be shining its light on the innovative and progressive water-bearer, the empathetic air sign whose duty is to help the people of the world attain success by not putting their egos and ambitions first. Well, isn’t that nice? 

A great way to spend the bulk of Aquarius season is to connect with friends, coworkers or family members to volunteer. You may find that these acts of service and kindness spark a newfound desire to help others and increase your love for life. Paying it forward will not only revolutionise the way you treat others but also give you a new sense of being. It will also allow you to meet new people who share common interests with you.

Since you'll be more socially aware than usual, ensure that you are contributing to cleaning up the environment. You might consider growing your own herbs or vegetables to have fresh produce. Most importantly, knowing that these are the fruits of your labours will make you feel special when you toss and plate a salad. It could be extremely beneficial to start a community garden or a similar project, allowing you to unite with others who want to change the neighbourhood for the better. With all the warm vibes in the air, it’s easy to forget that it is winter outside. 

On a personal note, the month ahead asks us to speak our truth. That's right, the good, the bad and the ugly feelings are coming out, whether we like it or not. We’re getting all of our emotions out in the open but we’ll do so in a loving and gentle way. Some words might be hard to hear or listen to but it'll be beneficial to repair relationships. Now we can work towards resolving matters and starting fresh.

Being upfront and direct during Aquarius season is okay because our emotions are not running very high. They're at a moderate level, making our temperament even. Plus, no one wants to fight. We all want to get along and look for ways to do so, which means addressing the hard stuff to get to a good place. Will there be tense and awkward moments? Probably, but not anything out of the norm. Mars’ current retrograde in Cancer (yes, it’s still going on) is making us tired and exhausted but you can resolve this through rest and self-care. 

Valentine's Day occurs during Aquarius season but it's vital for us to not only spend time with our boo or crush but to make time for our besties. Galentine’s Day is a fantastic moment to honour your pals and ensure they know how much they mean to you. Go for a spa day or brunch and give them the best present of all: your everlasting friendship. Now that is a holiday the water-bearer can get behind.
