True happiness may elude you at present. You may feel separated or restrained in some way. This feeling is only temporary, as new beginnings are on their way. In the meantime, make the most of this time of seclusion to be introspective. Look to elders, dreams and spirituality for guidance. Relationships and business affairs are vital now. Those around you, and your opinion of them, will affect your state of mind. Real connections are possible. You may want the advice of your significant other. Everything you do today will have a larger impact than you intend for it to have.

Bad news for the idealistic Aquarius: Your greatest efforts can’t fix a disturbing situation today. The Sun is parked in your sensate twelfth house AND is on the receiving end of a difficult opposition with erratic Mars retrograde. The best thing to do: TRY to surrender to it. That doesn’t mean you have to like what’s going on. It just means being smart enough to accept the things you cannot change and shift into “observer” mode. Watch and see who steps up and how well they handle it. You might be pleasantly surprised by their abilities.
