Aquarius

Aquarius (Ruling Planet: Uranus; Element: Air) The most loyal of the air signs, Aquarians are known for their ability to make a lot of friends and their wide range of interests. The Water Carrier is the weird but charming, creative, independent type. But your independence can easily read aloof and detached. And like any air sign, you can be particularly inconsistent and unpredictable. Though, of all the air signs, you’re the most set in your ways, partially because of your strong moral compass and humanitarian instincts.

Caring Capricorn will influence the way you communicate throughout December, as chatty Mercury and the Sun transit the earth sign. If you take the beginning of the month to catch up on sleep and your intuition, you’ll feel more prepared for all attention that’s gonna come your way when Venus enters your sign on the 7th. The planet of love provides charming, flirty vibes, so you should have no trouble meeting new cuties around this time. Explosive energy is coming your way in the form of a full moon in Gemini (surprise, surprise), so keep that cool and compromising Aquarian thing up and things should work themselves out around the 15th. Focus on your finances on the 19th as Mars enters Pisces and attempts to replenish your bank account, or maybe your social life. The 19th also marks the start of Mercury in retrograde, and of miscommunications and delays a-plenty, not to mention surfacing subconscious issues–possibly involving an ex. Lastly, a recharging new moon in Capricorn will encourage you to let go of something from your past, disclose a secret or two, or maybe take a second chance at an old opportunity. Take the leap, and 2017 could start off very right for you.

Your Trax: With Venus in your sign, you eclectic personality shines, and something like A Man Alive, the latest album from Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, seems like an appropriate rec. IAN SWEET also offers their latest album, Shapeshifter, a garage rock/bedroom pop that’s just weird and cool enough to suit a true Aquarian this month.
