One of the features of February's astrology is that, at one point, we have six planets in Aquarius. That's a lot of Aquarius. With Venus's arrival in Aquarius on February 1, we're getting a bit of a crowd in the sky as Venus joins the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury. In Aquarius, Venus finds not only a need for freedom, but a need to connect to others on an intellectual level as well. Aquarius is element Air. It needs to move and socialize. It values big ideas. It wants friendship and is attracted to humanitarian causes. But when Venus meets up with Saturn and Uranus on February 6, it taps into a story that will be with us throughout 2021, this growing tension between two corners of our life. We may have to make some serious decisions this week or at least start to — Mercury is retrograde after all. How do we make sure our values line up with our ideals? How do we break out of old patterns and beliefs? How are we finding new freedom and independence?
