This Week’s Horoscope for Aquarius by Eric Francis Coppolino

This week, there’s a Full Moon eclipse in your opposite sign Leo. Think of this as a tune-up of your relationships, particularly on the emotional level. It might feel like a pressure release, as if two spaces with different atmospheric pressures are being equalized. This will help you catch your breath and ease some of the stress that’s been silently building, much of which is described by the eclipse. Two weeks later, the Moon comes back around and forms a conjunction to the Sun, in your sign — that’s an eclipse in your sign. At that point, you’ll have an opportunity for a personal reckoning of some kind: an assessment of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Let this inner discussion encompass every aspect of your life. However, there’s no rush at the moment; when eclipses are in the vicinity, the thing to do is to steer your craft gently downstream, flowing with the current.

You may read all 12 signs here.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 30
(The Day of Take Charge) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Borrowing from author Erica Jong, you’re a whole person, not half of a relationship. When you declare that, though, you will have some catch-up to do, involving building out that “other half.” Take all the steps you need to be a complete person. Your life will improve and your relationships will be stronger. You are your own person: no compromises there.

Written in the Planets
The Moon enters Leo today, heading for its opposition with the Sun on Wednesday: the Leo Full Moon and total lunar eclipse. This is the first in a pair of eclipses, the second being a partial solar eclipse on Feb. 15 (the Aquarius New Moon). Don’t be shy about doing something you love today. Yes, there are still various adult responsibilities you’ll need to take care of. But if you can bring the childlike joy of Leo to some facet of your life today (and for the next couple), it may help you to set the tone for the months to come. The potential for eclipse phases to aid us in changing the patterns in our life can be intimidating or overwhelming. If that sounds like you, remember that every new phase of a journey begins with one modest step.

Stepping Up to the Blue Supermoon Eclipse

This week opens the first ‘eclipse season’ of 2018. On Wednesday, Jan. 31, we’ll experience the Leo Full Moon, which is also total lunar eclipse — meaning that we’re entering a phase of a couple weeks when you might be able to advance your life in unexpected ways. (The corresponding partial solar eclipse will occur with a New Moon in Aquarius on Feb. 15.)

jan28-2018

At 8:27 am EST (13:27 UTC) on Wednesday the Moon in Leo will align exactly with the Sun in Aquarius, with the Earth tucked precisely in between (the peak of the eclipse is a couple minutes later).

If you live in the right parts of the world and have clear skies at the right time, you’ll be able to see Earth’s shadow gradually cover the Moon, making it look a reddish-brownish color. But wait: isn’t Wednesday’s Full Moon a blue Moon? Yes, but that name does not actually refer to the Moon’s color; it’s simply the fanciful term given to the second Full Moon in one calendar month (if you recall, the Cancer Full Moon occurred on Jan. 1).

They’re rare, but not as rare as the colloquial saying would seem to suggest. The Jan. 31 Full Moon is also the third in a series of three straight ‘supermoons’; that is, Full Moons that occur while the Moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, and therefore looks slightly larger than usual.

You must initiate the changes you want, in all facets of your life. While you’re doing that, make sure your employment environment matches your true nature.

Written in the Planets
When is a rebellion not a rebellion? When the result of victory is a continuation of the status quo. Much like the women who campaign against abortion rights, it’s possible for us to trick ourselves into thinking we’re standing up for our rights and choices, when in fact sometimes the end product is the opposite, and the enemies we thought we were facing turn out to be projections of the mind. Today Venus conjoins Okyrhoe (and Astraea) on the South Node. If you feel like going into battle today, first take some time to really think about what you want to accomplish, and the best way to meet that goal. You might be surprised by what you discover.

Amanda Painter | Mars in Sagittarius, and a Few Other Adjustments

Less than a week after Pholus left Sagittarius (where it had been for about a dozen years), Mars brought its fiery energy to this fiery sign.

Don’t be surprised if things go your way. As David Byrne once said, “Watch out, you might get what you’re after.” If it turns out you don’t, first ask if you really wanted that thing; if yes, then refine your approach. If no, promptly make a new goal and devote yourself to that. Be happy to remove an old goal from your list and replace it with a new one.

Written in the Planets
With Mercury’s square to Uranus today, you might get a sudden boost to your synapses, or perhaps even a eureka moment. Pay attention to your surroundings today and be on the watch for ideas; where possible, it might also be wise to keep a notepad handy. Don’t automatically dismiss anything that comes through. There’s a lunar eclipse approaching; around that point, any missing pieces of information should make themselves known. What you might consider ridiculous or impossible now could make much more sense in a few days’ time.

February Monthly Horoscope for Aquarius by Eric Francis Coppolino

You don’t need a conspiracy theory to understand your life. It’s a fact that the elements of your existence have come together by design, most of which was based on your own intentions, choices and actions. All you need to do is understand that plan, and if you want a different kind of life, you need to make a different plan, followed by different choices. With eclipses now happening along your axis of the zodiac (lunar eclipse in Leo on Jan. 31, solar eclipse in Aquarius on Feb. 15), you have opportunities to make a number of significant changes. First, review what you’ve been saying you want to do for a long time. What have you resolved to begin, accomplish or change at least five times? That’s probably an inventory of two or three goals, which are the ones to prioritize. You may have been involved in a similar process six months ago — check back to this past August for additional details, and remember what you were striving to do. Notice how much progress you’ve made (probably more than you think). Spot a few things you no longer want to do, and consciously take those off your agenda, to save energy. One especially bold factor in your astrology is spending more time with other people, in person. That will make you happy.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 27
(The Day of Precocity) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It’s time to think differently: consider different factors, goals and approaches to what you want to do. Take every opportunity to break or step out of an existing pattern, expectation or routine and put yourself in unfamiliar territory, without a script and without a plan. Then you will be more inventive, and have experiences you could not have predicted.

Written in the Planets
With Ceres and Venus hanging out near the Moon’s nodes (which are the indicators of next week’s eclipse on Jan. 31), there appears to be something foundational about their opposition today. That is, foundational in the sense of choosing between one way of being that opens up into uncharted potential, and another way of being that is familiar but ultimately holds you back. One way to think of this is with a question: what would it take to make your online socializing (which is, by the very nature of digital media, a little chilly and detached) something truly nurturing, warm and heart-feeding? Meanwhile, a square today between Vesta in Sagittarius and Nessus in Pisces brings up a question of passionate devotion versus abusive self-sacrifice. Remember: if you’re getting hurt in the process, that’s a neon sign flashing the answer and urging you to make some changes.

Communion by Lucinda Abra.

Dear Friend and Reader:

It’s taken me a while to figure out what’s really going on with the #MeToo movement, at least so far as I can tell. I don’t accept as valid what I don’t understand, or what I see serious problems with. I might, when I gain an understanding, and see past the problems.

The #MeToo movement has been chaotic, and there are some issues, which I’ll get into in a moment. Finally, about five drafts into this article and after consulting many women in my life, I spoke with an old friend named Megan O’Connor, who was well on her way to being a midwife when I knew her as a journalism colleague 20 years ago.

Jan. 20, Santa Cruz, CA. Photo by Elizabeth Good.

Sometimes I need things put into language a kid can understand. She heard my frustration sorting out the issues, and said in her calm and nonjudgmental style: Think of it this way. The #MeToo movement has one purpose: to reveal the extent of sexual harassment in the workplace. If I didn’t expect much more than that, I would have it in context. That was all I needed to hear.

Workplace sexual harassment and sexual assault are real problems — so real that we’re discovering they’re apparently the norm.

#MeToo is intended as a pushback against that, calling attention to the issue and demanding change. As Ruth Bader Ginsberg said, it’s about time.

Yet this is no guarantee of solving the problem. But it may be a start. Real activism is always messy. And sometimes it’s necessary to break some rules and smash things to get the attention of people in power.

Let’s see how events proceed from here — for example, if we can do anything about an admitted sexual abuser that a majority of white women helped elect president. We might be witnessing a correction, not just of abusive conduct, but also to complicity with that conduct.

There’s been one other important effect, which is a realtime experiment with what happens when society bursts into a discussion about shadow sexual issues. We can study ourselves, our friends, the public and the press for information.

(The Day of Striking Deeds) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must find your own direction, guided by one thing only: what you want. Write down all your excuses for not aspiring to your true desires, then burn it. Decide what is right for you, then set about doing it. While you’re at it, launch a public relations campaign to inform the world of this fact, and be sure to check your voicemail.

Current Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

The Sun and Venus are in your sign, and you’re probably feeling a lot better than you have in weeks or even months. You know that positive changes are on the horizon; there’s excitement in the air.

The concept of an inner life is elusive to most people. By inner life, I mean the world that you contain, your conscious growth process, and your relationship to your past.

It’s possible you may be feeling on edge more than a little as Mars changes sign today. Remember that you are not compelled to obey any impulse, however strong. You have the power to slow things down and wait for more information. Err on the side of caution where you can, and be open to the wisdom of those around you. With Mercury making some challenging aspects in addition, it may help to keep in mind that what is sent or published cannot be taken back.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 25
(The Day of Destiny) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
While Aquarius is famously “not jealous,” you would be well served to set aside your competitive nature and offer yourself in a spirit of love and kindness. This will help you get the results you want, and make the world a better place. You can also advance an agenda that is supportive of those who are so often cast aside and neglected. They need your help.

Written in the Planets
Today’s sextile between Mercury in Capricorn and Jupiter in Scorpio suggests you devote part of today to some shrewd, detail-oriented thinking about what you want from life and how you might get it. With Pluto still close by, any plan you set in motion could open up some much-needed changes to your environment. (And if the word ‘change’ scares you, think of it more like a process of regeneration or ‘becoming’.) If you have any kind of negotiation on your plate (especially business — although Jupiter in Scorpio could point to sex), remember: helping others get what they need does not necessarily mean shorting yourself. Few things in life are a zero-sum game; think mutual benefit.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 24
(The Day of the Aloof Icon) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may become obsessed with an idea, a need or a person, though if you do, try to relax and see the wider landscape of your existence. If you make a strategy to get that one thing, you’ll miss many others. Let your sincerity lead the way, and strive to understand the difference between a desire and a need. That will help you prioritize.

Written in the Planets
As the Sun and Moon form a square today (lunar first quarter), the Sun makes a couple of interesting aspects to Vesta and 1992 QB1. It would seem there’s potential to turn a corner or cross a threshold in some matter that’s intellectual, physical and emotional. And the thing giving you traction to do so looks like some kind of sexual-spiritual fire, along with your devotion to keeping that fire burning brightly. If that feels a little too esoteric for your everyday purposes, tap into Mercury’s conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn: use your mind to penetrate whatever captures your attention today. Just remember to look up once in a while so you don’t get obsessed, and so you can take in how others are feeling.

This Week’s Horoscope for Aquarius by Eric Francis Coppolino

The Sun and Venus are in your sign, and you’re probably feeling a lot better than you have in weeks or even months. You know that positive changes are on the horizon; there’s excitement in the air. A forthcoming total eclipse of the Moon in your opposite sign Leo occurs on Jan. 31, and that’s an invitation to look at a relationship situation. In fact, it’s an opportunity to consider the total environment of your relationships, and see what they have in common. Questions to ask yourself might involve whether any given relationship is good for you, and if not, what about that relationship reflects your total environment. For the next week or two, you have the ability to make changes that might otherwise seem impossible. Use this time well, to choose what you want, and to un-choose what you do not want.

You may read all 12 signs here.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 23
(The Day of Character) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may feel a strong urge to keep your mental focus and build discipline at all costs, though there’s only so far that will go. Your most creative ideas are inspired by a dash of chaos. Therefore, use your tools of organization (for example, schedules and regimented game plans) only as much as necessary, and let your spontaneous brilliance emerge. You share a birthday with Jeanne Moreau, Anita Pointer, and Richard Dean Anderson.

Written in the Planets
As Mercury approaches its conjunction tomorrow to Pluto in Capricorn, it makes a conjunction to a Pluto-like planet called Arawn today. Arawn is named after the Welsh king of the “otherworld,” which was apparently more like Paradise than Hell. However, astrologers have only known about Arawn since 2017; and while Zane Stein offers some world events and celebrity charts that may offer clues, there’s no solid delineation yet. Even so, a quick look at those events and the primary existing myth about Arawn suggest there’s something here about ‘integrity’. It might be wise to stay especially aware of yours this week, especially in any business or professional matters.
