What the season is about
Aquarius season is a fixed air sign, ruled by Uranus in modern astrology and by Saturn in the older tradition. It runs from late January to mid February.
It is a month for community and independence at once. Groups, friendships and causes come forward, along with ideas that break from habit.
The risk is keeping people at arm’s length. Let your friends in.

Questions, answered
When does Aquarius season start?
The Sun enters Aquarius on January 20, 2027, 07:30 UTC and leaves on February 18, 2027, 21:33 UTC, about 30 days later. The page shows both moments in your own time zone.
Why do the Aquarius dates change from year to year?
The usual Aquarius dates are an average. The calendar year is not a whole number of days long, so the moment the Sun crosses into Aquarius drifts by some hours each year and can land on a neighbouring date, depending on your time zone as well.
What if I was born on the first or last day of Aquarius season?
Your Sun sign depends on the exact moment of your birth, not on the average dates. A birth chart with your birth time settles it.
What does “Reading confidence 40%” mean?
It says how specific a reading is. A line written for a Sun sign alone, with no date or birth time, carries 40%. It is not the chance that something happens.
