The week kicks off with the sun (representing your ego, energy, and physical identity) squaring change-maker Uranus, the planet of chaos, innovation, and unexpected change. Note that the sun is already transiting through Aquarius, and this zodiac archetype already epitomizes that of its planetary ruler, Uranus. Whether you look at it in terms of your individual freedom or your sense of belonging in the world, Aquarius season encourages us to tap into higher realms of consciousness and surround ourselves with like-minded individuals who share similar hopes, wishes, and dreams.

With all that said, it's important to remain flexible and keep an open mind this week, regardless of the direction your narrative takes.

You might come across some unexpected developments at this time, too, especially now that Venus (Taurus's planetary ruler) is stationing direct in Capricorn on Jan. 29, closely followed by Mercury retrograde ending and the planet stationing direct in Aquarius on Feb. 3.

Whether it's the emotions you've chosen to keep to yourself or an important decision you're still contemplating, there's no escaping the friction we're about to experience, personally and collectively.
