245The Aquarius Personality
Strengths, Talents, and the Creative Spark
One of the most intriguing signs of the zodiac is yours, Aquarius, and you enjoy keeping others guessing about who you are and what you’re willing to share. You have so many interests that others wonder how you have the time to pursue them, since your conversations about them suggest you have considerable experience in multiple fields—and you often do. No wonder so many of your acquaintances enjoy talking with you and picking your brain to hear your take on politics, social interests, and world events. Yours is the sign of the Water Bearer, an air sign. Aquarius is the last of the four fixed signs of the zodiac and the natural occupant of the solar eleventh house of your employer’s resources and your goals, hopes, wishes, motivations, groups, mutual organizations, friendships, new trends, unorthodox methods, humanitarian projects, and sudden revelations or change. Uranus rules your sign and attracts you to a variety of social settings and futuristic insights in your sphere of influence. As one of the most analytical signs, you’re a natural problem-solver whose inventive style offers the universe effective discourses and tips for improving environmental, public, and social relationships.
In the work you choose and the talent you wish to display, you live up to the themes connected to the eleventh house, including joining forces with others for mutual gain, spearheading collaborative ventures, and working on shared causes that are multilayered and take time to implement for the greatest good of affected supporters. Expertise you demonstrate in the field of electronic technology improves through your innovative ideas and your problem-solving aptitude, resulting in outstanding operational practices. You represent the prototype of optimism, Aquarius, and excel at social networking. Most of you know an astrologer or two. Your many affiliations give you a feeling of pride and self-worth as you work to perfect conditions for humanity.
Intimacy and Personal Relationships
It’s not unusual for you to become so involved in impersonal relations that you devote considerable time to group causes, long campaigns to bring about medical, political, and social change, or support enterprises where others need a helping hand. Personal relationships take a back seat to these urgent demands for your time. Your many interests influence 246your dating life and lead you to eligible prospects via your well-connected communication networks. Since you are known for being a member of the universal sign for friendship, it takes a very special person to capture your heart. With your independent spirit, you thrive with a partner who likes to talk with you and engage in mind play. You have been known to fall in love with a partner’s mind. You’ll find the best matches with Leos, your opposite sign, who can be quirky and match your love of the dramatic; the other two fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, who enjoy gadgets, vehicles, and travel; and air signs Gemini and Libra, who usually match your love of communicating, partying, and intellectual pursuits. Less spontaneous signs like Taurus and Scorpio prefer fixed routines and can be more possessive, disliking having to share your time with members of groups you’re assisting. Spend time with a loving partner who loves your creative mind and brings out your deepest romantic emotions.
Values and Resources
A fascination with unique people, organizations, and career choices leads you to experience an eclectic variety of adventures. You deeply enjoy the company of collaborators with inventive minds, ready to forge a new path and leave the stamp of originality on the intellectual properties you so skillfully develop. You like knowing where your next paycheck is coming from and seldom quit a job without obtaining a commitment from a reliable employer. If the work is monotonous and the conditions of career growth are not met, you will bail and move on to greener pastures. You are loyal to your employing organization and are protective of the assets and expenditures of the firm. You’re usually willing to relocate for a choice position that makes use of your analytical and project management skills. Assignments in foreign countries appeal to you for the unusual work experiences they provide. Those who know you say you are all business, since you prefer not to divulge details about your personal life. Some of your friends disclose that they have never visited your home. When you do entertain, you leave others talking about the unusual menu and accommodations. Children in your life receive the most creative gifts from you.
Blind Spots and Blockages
Releasing conditions that no longer work in your life does not come easy for you, since you always hope for the best and fail to see the red light that pops up in front of you. At times circumstances you encounter 247call for a break and a change of scenery, whether it involves work or your personal life. You will leave a job a lot faster than you will a relationship. As independent as you may appear to others, you often stay rooted in difficult working and living arrangements out of fear of failure. When you accept a supposedly plum job that is a poor fit, your ego gets in the way and argues with your rational mind that this is a career coup. The bloom may be off the rose in the love department, but you hang in there until outside interference or a blowup occurs. Even then you may talk yourself out of leaving and have great difficulty saying goodbye permanently. Sometimes you just want to be friends but avoid telling your partner how you really feel. Internalize the meaning of closure.
Goals and Success
After the last few years of disruptions, you’re ready to travel a more settled path that offers an innovative work environment, autonomy in managing your daily routine, and options that include exchanging information and technology with experts in other parts of the world. You could be especially effective in businesses that have seen the greatest loss of employees, leaving customers underserved. Exceptionally high numbers of employees sought new jobs in 2022, and that has left entire industries—travel, entertainment, food services including grocers and restaurants, hospitality, manufacturing, medical, retail, teaching, and transportation—devoid of qualified candidates. If you have experience in one of these areas, you’ll be able to don your change-agent cap and figure out ways to build confidence in employees, develop and deliver training programs that respond to current industry needs, reorganize or pare down physical work space, and focus on analyzing skill sets to get the best mix of talent into the workforce. Some of you may desire to work in the family business and use your brilliant mind to channel energy into making it highly productive by revamping policies and procedures. Certain Aquarians lean toward starting a new business.

The Year Ahead for Aquarius
You’ll experience the last visit from Saturn in your sign when the planet of restriction wraps up its two-and-a-half-year visit in your solar first 248house in March and moves into mystical Pisces. Your bag of tools includes extraordinary coping mechanisms and ideas for staying productive and upbeat. Jupiter starts off the year in Aries, occupying your solar third house of communication, contracts, education, neighborhood events, cousins and siblings, electronics, and transportation. Local travel may increase in this house, which is also the site of the first Solar Eclipse of 2023 that is sure to energize your mind with innovative ideas and the desire to take credential-building courses. Mercury has been retrograde in Capricorn since December 2022 in your solar twelfth house of healing, intuition, introspection, and sabbaticals. The communicator planet turns direct on January 18, opening the door to greater understanding of complex issues and implementation of projects you’ve had on hold since December.
Uranus stirs the pot in your solar fourth house of home with sudden revelations, shifts in behavior, movement into or out of your home, and a look at your home’s physical foundation. The planet of chaos moves direct on January 22, restoring the stability you are seeking in employment arrangements and family relationships. Neptune in Pisces continues to move through your solar second house of assets, income, money you spend, and raises, giving you ideas about how to fulfill goals for self-improvement while simultaneously keeping an eye on managing expenses. Transiting Pluto in Capricorn occupies your solar twelfth house in the remaining years of this long transit, giving you a chance to recover from any health issues, care for others who are ill, deal with private matters, and nurture your dreams for the future. Think about which burdensome, critical issues you look forward to letting go of this year.
Jupiter
Jupiter starts out in Aries and your solar third house in 2023, renewing your passion for straightforward communication, outreach, increased local travel, contract terms, mental acuity, systems equipment, and cousins, neighbors, and siblings. This transit has a calming effect on complex detailed work and gives you a chance to find workable solutions to any post-pandemic issues that remain. Aquarius enjoys fixing problems and cutting the mental cobwebs loose. Change is in the wind, so look for future opportunities because Jupiter leaves Aries on May 16 and begins a rapid trip through Taurus and your solar fourth house, where it highlights your home and family dynamics. You’ll have opportunities to demonstrate your excellent analytical skills as you continue to work 249from home, start a consulting business, or work on a remote assignment. While traveling through Taurus, Jupiter is going to pause for a few months by turning retrograde on September 4 and turning direct on December 30. Innovative accomplishments lead to greater visibility in your field and a raise in salary. Agreeable relationships with family members develop, leaving you content and inspired to continue the quest for meaningful causes. Those of you born between January 20 and February 6 see the most action while Jupiter is in Taurus.
Saturn
This is the final year that Saturn in Aquarius takes up residence in your solar first house of action, appearance, assertiveness, health, individuality, and self-promotion. The taskmaster planet has been creating tension and conflict on both inner and outer levels since the end of December 2020 and won’t let up until you understand the source of the constant frustration over the pace of activity in your life. Saturn is one demanding orb and holds you to high standards of conduct when you are tasked with setting and meeting goals. In just a few months you’ll be out from under the weight of delays and will be able to smoothly implement plans. Look for ways to strengthen relationships and build your brand if you run a business. Those of you born between February 11 and 18 see the most action while Saturn remains in Aquarius. Weigh personal priorities carefully. Are they in line with your goals and philosophy? Have you assessed the reasons that you feel stuck and how will you disengage from problem areas you’ve identified? Are you taking care of your health? On March 7, Saturn will move into Pisces for the next two and a half years in your solar second house of assets, income, salary, savings, and self-development plans. These matters affect your career and job status, your desire to move ahead in the work world, and professional relationships that influence long-term employment and retirement plans, including the innovation that gives you the most satisfaction. What is your current priority? While Saturn is in Pisces, Aquarians born between January 21 and 29 will experience the strongest impact from this transit related to earning power. Use the time to review your holdings, monitor your budget, and pay down debt.
Uranus
The year begins with Uranus in Taurus in retrograde motion and going direct on January 22, when it shakes up the energy in your solar fourth 250house of home, family, parents, base of operations, emotional temperature of residents, household activity, interior and exterior features of your home, and garden or landscaping features. With Uranus in a contentious angle to your Sun sign, you have seen how the disruptive planet affected family relationships, pushed you toward changing design themes for decorating your home, and instigated stricter rules for living in your home. Uranus arrived in Taurus in May 2018 and seemed to spare no one in the home from chaotic behavior, blowups, spontaneous arguments, and one surprise after another that affected stable employment. If you survived a layoff, reduced hours, or site relocation, you got off easy. Secure your home, replace old windows, and fix leaks. Uranus leaves its mark on buildings and grounds. Amid the disruption, you may have received an unexpected job offer or award for the exceptional solutions you suggested that affected the operation of the organization and kept it relevant. This year those of you born between February 4 and 14 feel the most activity from this shock-generating planet.
Neptune
Way back in April 2011, this mystical planet started putting moves on your solar second house, which has been the long-term home for transiting Neptune in Pisces ever since. Your solar second house represents assets, income, money you earn and how you spend it, and developmental opportunities that are qualifications builders. At times during this transit you have experienced unfavorable money deals, and the value of goods you purchased may not have met your expectations. Neptune is associated with compassion, healing, secrets, and psychological health and has the reputation for confusing issues by tossing a few curveballs and doubt your way when you’re in the middle of solving decisions related to purchasing power. Anyone who’s been there knows that wily vendors use false advertising and unsubstantiated claims about quality and durability of products, and limit the time you have to purchase goods and services. In 2023 review spending and resolve not to spend impulsively. Now Saturn in Pisces is moving into this solar second house, too, and this stern watchdog may help you guard against costly mistakes. Get out of the Neptune fog and see through the glitz. Dream realistic dreams and put an end to constant battles to pay off debt by adhering to your budget. Aquarians born between February 11 and 17 see the most activity from Neptune this year.
251Pluto
No doubt you recall when Pluto in Capricorn first came calling in your solar twelfth house in January 2008. That’s the year when you started hiding out from the baggage you were amassing in your private, secluded space, figuring no one needed to know about all this angst. In 2023 you’ll see that this old pattern is going to be challenged. Pluto, the planet affiliated with psychological depth, arrived in your solar twelfth house of charity, dreams and nightmares, healing, psychic feelings, sabbaticals, secrets, and work done in seclusion years ago. Have you discovered issues associated with these themes that have imposed blocks on you? Eliminate a buildup of stress that affects performance, productivity, the quality of relationships, and how you take care of your health. The position of transiting Pluto in Capricorn creates stress for those of you born between February 15 and 18. Take an inventory of your unsettled worries and issues you procrastinate about to confront your real fear: failure. Ask for help if you’re ready to let go of your fears but feel trapped. You hold the cards to engage in a more fulfilling life. Pluto is getting ready to make a brief entry into your sign, Aquarius, starting on March 23. It goes retrograde on May 1 in the first degree of Aquarius and returns to Capricorn on June 11 to complete the remaining months of its cycle, which officially ends in November 2024. Aquarians born on January 20 or 21 will feel a bit of a poke when Pluto moves into your sign on March 24 and occupies your solar first house of action, health, independence, personality, and self-image. You’ll have a front seat to see how the transformational planet operates in the most personal arena of your chart. Be proactive about dealing with destructive habits, stubbornness, and excessive secrecy. Share the truth with partners, take the time to shed negative thinking patterns, and use your higher mind to attract a happy, inspirational life.
How Will This Year’s Eclipses Affect You?
In 2023 a total of four eclipses occur: two Solar (New Moon) Eclipses and two Lunar (Full Moon) Eclipses, which create intense periods that start to manifest a few months before their actual occurrence. Two of the eclipse signs are changing this year. The first eclipse occurs in your solar third house, the second in your solar tenth house, the third in your solar ninth house, and the final eclipse in your solar fourth house. Eclipses unfold in cycles involving all twelve signs of the zodiac, and usually occur in 252pairs about two weeks apart. Don’t fear eclipses—think of them as growth opportunities that allow you to release old and outworn patterns. They often stimulate unexpected surprises and windfalls. The closer an eclipse is to a planet or point in your birth chart, the greater the importance of the eclipse in your life. Those of you born with a planet at the same degree as an eclipse are likely to see a high level of activity in the house where the eclipse occurs.
The first Solar Eclipse of 2023 takes place on April 20 in Aries and your solar third house of communication, education, your mind, local travel, neighborhood, siblings, and transportation. Expect significant increases in calls and visits from neighbors, siblings, and cousins. Community matters may take on greater importance. Plans may revolve around purchasing a vehicle or educational pursuits. Set priorities related to work schedules and purchasing electronic equipment.
Two weeks later, on May 5, the first Lunar Eclipse of the year takes place in Scorpio and your solar tenth house of authority figures, career, ambition, recognition for achievement, and organizational conditions. If your birthday falls between February 3 and 5, the pressure is on to achieve performance goals and meet timelines while monitoring the quality of work in your area of responsibility. Celebrate success with your work group. Balance delivery of products and reports while maintaining healthy work habits to avoid burnout. Take a periodic day off to recharge, and schedule medical and dental checkups.
On October 14 the second Solar Eclipse of 2023 takes place in Libra and your solar ninth house of the higher mind, advanced education, foreign countries and cultures, in-laws, philosophy, publishing and writing, and long-distance travel. You could experience yet another postponement or cancellation of a cruise, vacation, or pleasure trip. Ride this one out until travel conditions stabilize. Focus instead on exploring a foreign assignment, a relocation offer for a different job, or temporary duty at a distant company location to experience job growth and a shift in responsibilities. Touch base with established networks.
The year’s final eclipse is a Lunar Eclipse on October 28 in Taurus and your solar fourth house of home, foundation, family, parents, and your home’s physical structure. Adapt an air of confidence and feel energized as you move in new directions, eagerly taking on stimulating projects. Show gratitude for the desirable changes that occurred in family relationships, and encourage loving rapport among family members.

You’ll get a boost from compatible Mars in Sagittarius in your solar eleventh house all month that increases the number of invitations you receive from friends and professional groups to attend cocktail, dinner, and lunch buffets that put you in a festive holiday mood. Be sure to mail gifts and holiday cards early and look for free delivery offers from online vendors.
Relationships
Ask close relatives to join your family for pre-holiday festivities to embrace the spirit of togetherness starting December 9. Guests from a distance start arriving on the 22nd, warming your heart and sharing the awe-inspiring miracles of the season. Savor the love while you enjoy these holiday treasures.
Success and Money
Neptune in Pisces goes direct on December 6 in your solar second house, highlighting practical and spiritual insight while accelerating plans to allocate earned raises and bonus money to cover holiday and household expenses. Saturn in Pisces is on board, too, and keeps you watchful of impulse spending. Make the season bright for a favorite charity by mailing a contribution on the 18th.
Pitfalls and Potential Problems
Two other planets shift direction this month. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn on December 13 in your solar twelfth house and could delay the execution of plans you’ve had on the drawing board until next February. Jupiter in Taurus neutralizes an edgy rapport at home base when it goes direct in your solar fourth house on December 30.
