The Zodiac Signs of Winter

Aquarius Season

January 20th - February 18th

Stir crazy much? All that grounded Capricorn energy can’t last forever and that’s where Aquarius comes in. Boundless energy, edgy, bold and futuristic. Capricorn was the leader. Aquarius is the rebel. Aquarius sits in the dead of Winter and knows there must be something more out there than this boring home and these boring tasks. She is wild and free and see’s a future that seems unimaginable to everyone else around her.

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign. All Fixed signs sit in the middle of the season and they are stubborn in their ways. And for Aquarian's, the Air in them can’t stop using their mind. It spins and spins about what could be possible and how the world could change instead of always doing the same old thing. They are true visionaries. What else could be better to do in the middle of Winter than to be a visionary.

Aquarians are also known as inventors. Tinkering with ideas for how they can help their communities. They love people and get off by trying to understand what makes others tick and then imagining all the creations they can make to help them. And yet at the same time, they are aloof and detached, trying not to get too close to anyone. So they bound about meeting all kinds of new people along the way, and then at the end of the day, retreat back to their home, where surprisingly, they genuinely love to be.

They are unique and wouldn’t have it any other way. Often choosing the route no one else would simply so that they can be different.

Aquarius Season is the time when you want to check in with yourself and ask yourself if you’re living true to who you are. It can be very easy to get caught up in social norms, other people’s ideas of happiness or routines that no longer feel good. This season provides us all an opportunity to get a little rebellious and get closer to who we are as individuals.
