Aquarius
Health & healing for Aquarius season and placements
As we move through the heart of winter, the cold driving us indoors, the electric energy of Aquarius gifts us with the sparks of creativity and invention. This burst of inspiration can take us in all sorts of unexpected directions. Learning to follow this unusual flow, instead of restraining it with preconceived notions, will allow for revolutionary ideas to penetrate the collective in unique ways. This eccentric and sometimes erratic enthusiasm can keep our minds buzzing, making us feel detached from our bodies and emotions. Recognizing and respecting the importance of our physical needs not only benefits us individually but also raises the vibrations of the world around us.

Skeletal System
Just as Aquarius is responsible for communicating new and innovative ideas for the well being of our collective society, the electrical body uses positive and negative charges between cells to quickly communicate vital information for the protection and health of the body as a whole. We receive information from all over the body with each of our five senses. These receptors lay dormant until they receive an unpredictable shockwave of energy. Suggesting that it is quite normal for Aquarians to go through waves when their energy is in a low or depressive state, only to be jolted by a seemingly random burst of super charged inspiration. It is important and healthy to honor both parts of this flow, refraining from enforcing any boundaries or expectations on how and how often our creativity should be expressed. Without the proper channel of expression, this pressurized force of electricity can burst out in unhealthy and dangerous ways. Maybe even manifesting as unusual muscle spasms, cardiovascular or circulatory conditions, or an unstable mental state.The rebellious Aquarian spirit rejects authority and control, so when we place expectations of productivity or consistency onto the parts of Aquarius in our charts, we are blocked from accessing our authentic nature. Learning to embrace the strange places our curiosity leads us or the quirky ways we need to express our urges, will guide us to unlocking the genius that is uniquely ours.
Aquarius Posture
Downward Dog
Not only is Aquarius ruler of electrical circulation in the body but also blood circulation. As an air sign that requires free flowing energy, when these vital pathways of communication become narrowed or restricted it can lead to serious consequences. It is essential for Aquarians to prioritize clearing any unhealthy blockages or build-ups. Downward dog facilitates blood flow by using gravity to guide blood from the hips towards the heart and from the heart towards the head. This pose encourages the mind to calm, allowing us to focus on the connection of our breath to the body. These nourishing breathes oxygenate our blood, promoting healthy cell function. (it's also a great pose to roll out those aquarian ruled ankles). These build-ups and blockages in the blood and electrical pathways can come from many different sources. Too much technology, poor diet, lack of movement or even misaligned relationships.

Aquarius Ritual
At - home ritual to reconnect to the Aquarius energy within you
Energetic work such as acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, chakra balancing or sound healing can be quite beneficial for those with Aquarian placements but here are some ways to get similar results on your own at home:
Dance
To begin, put on your favorite album or even the Aquarius playlist linked below. Dance as weird and free as you can. freestyle dance is one of the best ways to release blocked energy and create mobility in the body. Through your movement, try to find any stuck areas and focus on them through rhythmic motions.
Dry Brushing
After your dance party, prep for a shower with some dry brushing to get your circulation flowing back to the heart for cleansing.
Consider adding oils such as rosemary, chamomile or lemon to your shower.
Salt Scrub
End your shower with an exfoliating salt scrub, salt can be grounding for airy Aquarians as well as an electrical conductor to help clear any static.
Crystal Meditation
After you are dressed and moisturized, find a comfortable place to lay down for a visual meditation.
Using cleansing crystals like selenite, amethyst or clear quartz could enhance the benefits for the vibrations of Aquarius.
As your breathing begins to settle, first imagine your electrical/energetic body. what colors do you see, how is it flowing, do your see energetic centers like chakras or pathways of electrical currents?
Now imagine that there is a large mesh or sieve underneath you and moving slowly upward through your energetic body.
Imagine this sieve is collecting any extra build up throughout your body and it is collecting it in the mesh. some see it as a grey dust.
When you have worked it through, the mesh above you now holding all the leftover material, imagine shaking out the excess, as the excess is released it becomes golden energy given back to the universe.
Repeat this process as many times as you'd like, focusing on areas that feel more stuck than others, consider what those stuck areas may represent in your life.
Hopefully you come out feeling much lighter than you did to begin with.
Aquarius Journal/Tarot Prompts
As you attune to the innovative nature of Aquarius through embodied practices such as movement and self-care, consider integrating the wisdom of the season through reflective activities like journaling and tarot. Engaging in these thought-provoking practices can aid in navigating spiritual barriers, both mentally and physically, integrating the lessons of the season and encouraging healing for personal growth.
Consider these prompts as you integrate the healing of the season:
Where do I have room for more freedom in my life?
How can I embrace my strange and unique perspectives?
What is blocking me from my personal genius?
How can empathy guide me?
