Aquarius Monthly Horoscope

Should you give the team some steam—or give yourself some space? You could be of two minds this month, Aquarius. The month opens with the Sun in Sagittarius streaming into your communal, collaborative eleventh house. Add in a new moon on the 1st, and you’ll feel every bit the people magnet you were born to be. 

Now for the plot twist: Mercury is retrograde, also in Sagittarius, until the 15th, which could complexify group dynamics. While you love a rousing collective effort, you’re allergic to political shenanigans. Even some of your ride-or-dies could be out of sync with you, thanks to firebrand Mars flipping retrograde also on the 6th. 

Once Mercury corrects course on the 15th, you’ll find an easy flow with most people again. Dive into the celebrations, but don’t get carried away corralling extra “reindeer” onto your celebratory sleigh. With “more is more” Jupiter squaring “less is best” Saturn on Christmas Eve, a curated guest list won’t simply be preferable. It also leaves you with a meatier budget to spend on gourmet desserts and luxury presents to place under the tree. 

New Year’s Eve also comes with a cautionary note about who to rope into the revelry. Retrograde Mars in Leo and your seventh house of relationships will be opposite private Pluto, who’s spending the first NYE (of twenty consecutive ones) in Aquarius. You won’t take kindly to possessive people, but you won’t be able to stomach anyone’s disloyal or self-serving antics. Plan to celebrate in a way that makes you feel free, even if that means keeping it to a party of two or three instead of twenty.
