Welcome to Aquarius Season! Here's Your Horoscope for the Week of January 18

Aquarius season begins today! This is a time when we embrace our relationships, hopes, and dreams, welcome change (even when it’s least welcomed), and give freely to others without expecting anything in return. After a busy Capricorn season when we went into overdrive to get things done, Aquarius provides us solace to rest and relax — so what better way to celebrate it than take a loooong break?

Here’s how the Aquarius season will affect you this week:

Aries (March 20 to April 19)

Tons of dramatic changes or events are happening all around you. Remember to keep your emotions in check and to make decisions in a calm and collected manner. Though things may seem too chaotic and muddled right now, strive to stay true to yourself, be clear with what you want, and speak for what’s right in whatever situation. Remember too to let go of the past which keeps holding you back in order to welcome positive and transformative change.

Taurus (April 19 – May 20)

It’s time you acknowledge the potential you have. You have all that it takes to make that leap of faith in making your dreams come true. You just have to be brave and prepared for whatever may come your way! Live your life the way you’re meant to, and don’t be afraid to be yourself. Learn from the mistakes of your past and let your heart guide you to where you should go.

Gemini (May 20 – June 21)

Whatever challenge that comes your way this week will be a breeze for you to overcome as long as you give yourself a moment to breathe and reconnect with your inner self. Go ahead and meditate or write in your journal! In doing so, you are recharging your energies so that you can tackle your creative projects with much more passion and determination!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You must let go of your fear of uncertainty in order to achieve a stable foundation for your plans. If you are allowing yourself to be constantly overwhelmed by the obstacles, you’ll never get anywhere near your goals. Have faith in yourself and your talents, and take small, concrete steps to fulfill your grand vision.

Leo (July 22 – August 23)

You have suddenly found yourself in the middle of a series of unexpected events that are leaving you feeling lost and confused. Don’t be discouraged; these changes are good! We all need a jolt every once in a while. Look onward with positivity and excitement because things are only going to get better from here!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

This is a great time to express your appreciation and love for your friends, family, and teammates. Now is also a good opportunity to reconnect and reconcile with those you’re not on good terms with, as long as you’re willing, that is. Open and honest communication is the key to solving any issue.

Libra (September 22 – October 23)

Be careful about feeling overly obsessed with control and recognition. You might fall into the trap of being motivated to do things out of fear of failure rather than passion. You don’t need material wealth and praise from others to have a sense of self-worth! Remind yourself what’s truly important.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

Opportunities abound all around you but you’re scared or unwilling to go after them because you feel like no one is noticing your efforts anyway. Shake off these unhelpful thoughts! You don’t need anyone else’s validation but your own. Allow yourself to grow and learn and welcome the endless possibilities, no matter what others may say! Live your own life on your accord.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

You may be carrying too much load on your shoulders and it’s getting too overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure if the toil is even worth it. Let go of the need to maintain so many expectations from yourself and the people around you and just go back to doing the few things you enjoy! Remember that there must always be a balance between giving and receiving.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

You may be burdening yourself with the need to be perfect, leading you to feel frustrated when things aren’t going as planned. Learn from your mistakes, grow from them, and accept yourself—flaws and all. Believe in your capabilities and trust in the process! There’s no need to rush.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 18)

This is the sign you’ve probably been waiting for: there’s no better time than now to turn your dreams into reality! Take action and bring your ideas to life. But be warned: not all dreams should be pursued, especially when they’re just spur-of-the-moment wants that won’t positively transform your life. Live inspired and free, but always stay grounded.

Pisces (February 18 – March 20)

In whatever situation you may face right now, strive to make decisions with a clear and unbiased mind. Detach yourself from your emotions and focus only on the problem. Consider all the options first and choose what is best for the situation, whether you like it or not.
