What to Watch During Aquarius Season
It’s Aquarius season, which is the season that reminds us to march to the beat of our own drum, be a pioneer, go against the grain, take a stand against societal norms, and fight for a cause! We have the strong Aquarians to thank for overturning outdated laws, beliefs, and structures that marginalized people and took away their humanness. Aquarius is an air sign that rules freedom, the collective, innovation, rebellion, and invention.
Aquarius has one ruling planet: Uranus - the planet of eccentricity, independence, and revolutionary ideas. Aquarius season is the best backdrop for being quirky, staying on top of social issues, rooting for the underdog, joining a movement, and unapologetically being yourself! My list of Aquarius season movie and show recommendations push the envelope and will inspire your rebellious side!
