AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18): Uranus remains retrograde until January. That can be frustrating for the always wired-up Aquarians. You can only run a short distance forward until you are pulled back by an invisible elastic band around your waist. Your spirit wants to soar, but you are bound to reality by a basic need to survive. Another basic need is our physical contact with others. That becomes a choice of direction on the 3rd. The 17th puts you in the mood to bite someone’s head off. However, with Uranus retrograde, you may tend to absorb any verbal abuse or conflict from others without showing any harm. You may need an outlet for that, like screaming into a pillow. In some cases, the 17th can be good for you to listen to a partner or associate. You feel stuck, but they provide a tow. Venus opens a pathway to a magnetic attraction to someone. It can be mutual, but you must shed your shackles to meet halfway. This begins on the 25th and peaks on the 27th. This can be surprising as you realize how it has altered your life, like a mid-course correction of a Mars probe. Anything to pull you away from being bogged down, could be very therapeudic, as the month closes. Stay tuned for other possible great fantasies in the future. My sympathies go out to all Aquarians who feel like a tethered hot air balloon. You want to be free to rise to greater heights, but for a few more years you must adapt to working at ground level. While Uranus dwells in Taurus, you can become more aware of having a physical body. You tend to ignore that part of your being, but now you are forced to deal with that fact. It’s a good thing. People may begin to see you as a well-grounded individual. Who’d a’ thought?
