Aquarius season is a special time of individuality and creativity, and we’re going to tell you all about it today. If you’ve ever wondered what Aquarius season is all about, keep reading!
What Does Aquarius Season Mean?
While the symbol of this zodiac sign – the Water-bearer – often causes confusion, it is actually an Air sign, which means that intellect, thought, and consciousness are some of the main focus points of this sign’s being. Aquarian energy is known for being transformative and progressive, shifting our consciousness into the future – as is often referenced when astrologers speak of the Age of Aquarius.
Aquarius is very idea-oriented, and it’s a sign that feels an intense urge to think outside the box. If you have a problem or a challenge that needs a forward-thinking, progressive solution, you need to find an Aquarius and ask for their advice.
Aquarius is also very futuristic, always thinking about what’s just around the corner. This gives them an edge regarding technology, and when the Sun travels through this constellation, we’re all more likely to feel the urge to play around with new apps and devices.
Our awareness is heightened during Aquarius season, thanks to the nature of this sign combined with its ruling element, Air, and the planet Uranus.
Uranus is the planet of change and originality, leading to the eccentric personality of Aquarius. If you’ve been lucky enough to have an Aquarius in your life, you’ll immediately recognize their one-of-a-kind energy and unique style.
Uranus is also a spontaneous planet that brings surprises and excitement – and these elements are more prevalent in our lives as the Sun promenades through the sign of Aquarius.

7 Ways to Make the Most of Aquarius Season 2023
Let’s explore a few ways that you can (nearly effortlessly) make the most of this Aquarius season.
1. Connect to Your Spiritual Side
With this heightened awareness and awakening energy, this is the perfect time to explore your spirituality and connect to the energies of the Universe – furthering any transformation you may be going through. There are myriad methods that will bring you close to celestial, Universal energy; the only thing that matters is that you choose a method that speaks to you.
You might try learning about new forms of spirituality that you haven’t yet studied or try a new healing practice – like reiki or meditation – that you haven’t yet spent time on. Perhaps journaling is an activity that lights up your spirit, or maybe you prefer to work with astrology or Tarot cards. It doesn’t matter how you choose to connect to your spirituality, only that you make an effort.
Bringing your spiritual essence into focus will help you make sense of any signs or messages you receive during this time, and it will also help you determine whether or not you’re on the right path.
2. Make a Vision Board
The time to manifest is now, especially with Uranus and Jupiter on your side. And one of the easiest, most engaging ways to begin attracting things into your life is creating a vision board.
Head to your local art supply store, or even the dollar store, to pick out a few supplies. You’ll need a poster board, glue, a few old magazines, and anything else you like to create with, like glitter, stickers, or markers.
To make a vision board, all you need to do is cut out images and words representing things you want to manifest, like a new home, a new relationship, or a new job. You make the connections in your mind, and you can use any images or phrases that speak to you.
After you’ve created your vision board, place it somewhere in your home where you’ll see it each and every day. Make sure to take a moment each day to look at the images you’ve chosen and imagine the gratitude you’ll feel once your dreams come true.
3. Embrace Travel
Aquarius is one of the zodiac signs that love to travel most. In fact, this may be the most jet-setting sign of them all. It might be time to book a much-needed trip.
Craving a new adventure? Missing a favorite town? It’s time to pack your bags and venture into something new and exciting.
Energy is on your side!
4. Connect to Your Tarot Cards
The Tarot is a fantastic way to pick up on subtle energies and signs from the Universe – which is ever so prevalent right now. If you have an experience that you don’t quite understand or can’t seem to make heads or tails of, it’s time to bust out the cards and perform a reading for yourself.
Light a candle, burn some incense, play some music – whatever it takes to get you feeling relaxed and aligned with the Universe.
Perform your reading and pay special attention to the cards’ meaning and their position within the spread you choose. You may end up discovering things or have new ideas that would never have occurred to you otherwise.
5. Write It Out
Aquarius is an Air sign, and what are Air signs known to be good at? Words! Aquarius season opens your mind and lets the thoughts flow more than they ever have before. This is one of the best times of the year to invest in a journal, which is essentially a notebook for sharing feelings.
You may discover a hidden talent, such as poetry or songwriting, just by giving this new medium a chance.
6. Balance the Chakras
Balanced chakras are always a good thing, and yet we rarely give our fingernails the kind of attention they deserve – or most body parts, for that matter. This transit gives you the opportunity to let certain feelings out to those you love and care for, and a healthy chakra also works to point you in the right direction.
7. Harness Your Individuality
Aquarius is a sign of individuality. These people march to the beat of their own drum, embracing individuality and innovation.
Aquarius is also a sign of progression, always looking to the future. And it’s a sign of humanitarianism. An Aquarius is someone who ultimately seeks to make the world a better place.
What individual qualities of yours can you harness to help yourself and those around you? During Aquarius season, the chance to embrace the power of your own unique soul is at its peak.
During this season, you may find yourself compelled toward an entirely new look, project, or even a new way of thinking. Let your intuition guide you, and let the power of Aquarius energy lead you to your strengths!
