It’s Aquarius season, besties, so prepare to have your hard-won independence shaken. Aquarians love to protect their peace, which is all well and good until they’ve protected their peace so hard that they don’t realize they haven’t seen anyone in weeks.

Or it could mean realizing they’re ready for a switch-up in their career. 

Aquarians are quick to rebel (as is their natural state), and the world better be ready for when they do. Did you know that the French and American revolutions happened during Aquarius season?
