The horoscope for Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) for the current month. It is built from real events in the sky — planets changing signs, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and aspects — and breaks the month down by area of life and by day.
The month in brief
The Sun in the 10th house: a career month. By tradition, a time of goals, results and public appraisal.

Fri, November 13, 10:57 AM — Mercury stations and turns direct again (in Scorpio, 10th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — career and reputation — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.

Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your 9th house: a holiday romance, a long-distance love, attraction to someone from another culture. By tradition trips together go well.

How this horoscope is put together
The monthly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from the first day of the month to the last: the Sun and planets entering new signs, the stations of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and every exact aspect of the month. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
Events are translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Aquarius is the 1st house, the next sign is the 2nd, and so on. Each area is read separately: love from Venus and Mars, work from Mars, Saturn and Mercury, money from Jupiter and Venus, energy from Mars, Saturn and the Moon.
The lucky days for each area are the days with the highest total score: the Moon's house, planetary positions and retrogrades, exact aspects, the New Moon, the Full Moon and eclipses. The "By day" table shows the score for each day of the month and the events that made it up.
Ruler of Aquarius
The ruler of the sign is Saturn. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Aquarius than for other signs: favorable aspects of the ruler strengthen the whole period, while tense ones make it harder.
