AQUARIUS HOROSCOPE

You have always been a big believer in reshuffling. Whether it’s people, places, or things, you delight in fresh perspectives. You’ve never been a fan of the status quo and try to live as far outside the box as possible. You can look forward to a dramatic development on April 25th when Mercury comes out of retrograde. This could result in a surprise twist, an unexpected reprieve appearing from out of nowhere, or a situation turning out in a way you never anticipated. This will shake free all the options and alternatives that have gotten stuck and blanket the ground in a carpet of possibilities.

If someone told you back in 2021 that everything would work out in the end, you would never have believed them. You have been through so many crazy twists and turns that it’s still hard to tell up from down; yet turning expectations on their head is intrinsic to your Ruling Planet Uranus. Sometimes it felt like Uranus was liberating you from ideas that had gotten in the way and sometimes it felt like the planet of revolution and change was pulling the rug out from under you, but on April 20th it looks like you’ll arrive at the place where you’ve longed to be.

As an Aquarius, you possess the unique ability to step outside the moment and review a situation remotely. This comes in handy this week when all the Chicken Littles will be racing about declaring that the sky is falling. It’s not, but you’ll need to keep your cool while everyone else is losing theirs. It looks like you may be facing a financial predicament stemming from the fact that someone who promised to deliver decided to renege. The Stars show you remedying matters, but there will need to be some fundamental changes moving forward – and your success gives you the clout to make them.

You’re not one to ask for favors. If anything, it’s other people who come to you with their requests. And given the way you’ll drop everything to help out, you probably don’t realize how much goodwill you’ve earned over the years. On April 6th, you learn that someone you assisted in the past is in the unique position of helping you to achieve a long-sought goal. Don’t be shy. Think of this as redeeming mileage points in a frequent flyer rewards program. Not only is this person happy to repay the favor, but they have some great ideas about how to capitalize on your efforts.

Pay close attention to what takes place on March 25th. This is when you hear news of someone’s fall from grace or spectacular bungled move. It’s sensational to be sure, but of passing interest because it’s so far removed from the workings of your day-to-day life; however, in the weeks to come you’ll come to recognize its relevance and grow to appreciate the wide reach of its ripple effect. Thankfully, this gives you more than enough time to absorb and work with the energies at play. Whether this proves to be the dramatic change in life direction it offers will be entirely up to you.

In the past, a loss of revenue or end of an association as presaged by a Venus/Saturn conjunction on March 21st would have stopped you cold, but an auspicious Sun/Pluto sextile shows you don’t need it. Not only have you outgrown your dependence on such things, but they’re getting in the way of your personal growth. Pluto in Aquarius is forward-thinking. It’s not interested in making old things great again but rather in exploring a future full of unscripted possibilities. Now this doesn’t mean that everything will be to your liking; but even if it isn’t, it’s your future you’re pursuing and not somebody else’s.

You’re dealing with someone who knows that they’re in the wrong but doesn’t know how to make things right. Thankfully, the Sun is traveling through peace-loving Pisces which makes it the perfect time to extend the olive branch because you’ll find a taker. However, things do need to change in this association which means that you’ll need to raise some thorny topics. Begin by sharing three things about yourself that you feel you can improve upon. This will do a lot to put the other person at ease so they can do the same. Show them your faults and foibles and they’ll show you theirs.

Mars square Uranus on March 9th shows you taking yet another wild spin on the Wheel of Fortune. What was up is down, and what was down is now up, and it’s anyone’s guess as to how the whole thing will play out. Yet there is a greater design at work behind all of this if you’re willing to buy a vowel and gain some insight. What looked radical and too “out there” months ago now seems infinitely doable. Things aren’t as impossible as they once were; if anything, their time has come. This requires you to revisit some of those decisions you made recently.

You often wonder if the bus you’re on is taking you to where you want to go. Is it making all these stops and turns because it’s a local and not an express, or is it really headed in the wrong direction? The impulse to find another ride will become heightened on March 3rd when Venus squares Uranus. This is when you’ll feel like you’ve given a situation all you can, and to continue with it is sheer masochism. However, the Stars counsel staying the course – even if it feels counterintuitive. You don’t want to disembark right when you’re on the verge of getting somewhere.

There’s often an undeniable attraction when Venus conjoins Mars in the sky (February 22nd). Yet what should be a romantic encounter can easily turn into a game of one-upmanship when they come together in Aquarius. That’s because each planet is trying to impress the other with their intellect and worldly experience. Since neither is willing to play the appreciative audience, it can turn into a standoff. Be the first to praise the other person – even if it feels like you’re fanning their ego – and you’ll soon see that the reason they wanted to impress you was in order to get you to like them.
