Aquarius Monthly Horoscope

Your Former or Current Partner

The story with your ex-husband (for example) and current girlfriend (let’s say) is about to run backwards until 2025. Partners can be professional as well as personal, of course, so this stop-start process may be about your other half in business. Duets, in general, are the focus for this long period of backwards action, so the two of you may share a house (but not a bedroom) and be identified as a pair even though you are separate creatures.

Do you also have factors in Leo in your natal chart? The world of babies, infants, schoolchildren, teenagers or adult children (Generation Z) will be held up, restarted and even cancelled at times, Aquarius, because of this unusual Mars Retrograde. These are the dates below. If you have Leo factors at these degrees, allow for delays, retractions or re-runs. There may be more impatience, heat or even outright beating of war drums. Pace yourself and pick your battles, Aquarius, if you do have Leo factors.

* November 2024: Mars 0 to 5 Leo
* December 2024: Mars 6 to 2 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* January 2025: Mars 1 to 0 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* February 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* March 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* April 2025: Mars 0-5 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* May 2025: Mars 5 to 20 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* June 2025: Mars 21 to 29 Leo (Finishing the cycle)

Are you single? This cycle is about courtship and the bedroom and there will be a faster pace, less tolerance, less patience, a more competitive edge and, yes, the potential for conflict. Mars was the Roman God of War. He is the red planet. Remember a red light stops what a green light can rush through, too quickly. A lot of astrologers will caution you against unwanted pregnancy on this cycle and that’s quite right. Mars is about impulse and leaping in without thinking.

Battles and Wars

Mars Retrograde in Leo is in your Seventh House of battles, wars and conflict. This only happens if a situation is deeply unfair or perhaps illegal. The scales are unbalanced. Aquarius, what you begin in November will linger for months following the Mars Retrograde pattern. So, there will be an odd and protracted period of attack and defence her, with the complete absence of heat at certain times – at others, a replay or re-run of what happened before. This is why November is so important. Be sharply aware of what you are starting or engaging with. Rivals in love triangles are a common outcome of this transit. So is heated professional rivalry.

Your Inner Life and Private World

Aquarius, we also have some end-game Capricorn weather in November, so you are really overdue for a soul inspection. In the Middle Ages, this zone of your chart, ruled by Capricorn (the Twelfth House), was about God. Today, it is about psychics, psychologists, astrologers, Tarot – as well as religion. It is about being alone and soul-searching. Contacting the psyche, soul or spirit through dream analysis, perhaps, or by prayer. To say this is a long process is an understatement. It has been going on since 2008, when I first launched my book, 2020 Vision (Penguin) which I quote from here. What was there, so obviously, some 16 years ago, is still relevant now.

The world of the psychic reading, the confession with the priest or the recollections on the psychologist’s couch are all here. However this transit has manifested for you – you end this, once and for all, in November. There is a second bump in December when you agree to differ with others or even with yourself. This ends some years of relentless pressure from ‘this’ or him/her/them. All of it has affected how life is, by yourself, but also your understanding of your inner life and interior world. 2025 will be very different. For that, read ‘easier.’
