Love is in the air—but does it belong in Aquarius season? Most astrologers would argue no, claiming that a sign known for detachment, logic, and grand humanitarian visions isn’t exactly the ideal host for Valentine’s Day. Wouldn’t romance be better suited to the Venusian warmth of Taurus, Libra, or Pisces?
In this episode of The Power of Ideas, I challenge that perspective. Drawing from astrology, sociology, and the wisdom of bell hooks, I explore love not just as an emotional experience but as a choice—an Aquarian ideal of love that extends beyond the individual to something far greater.
Is love about fate, or is it about action? Is Valentine’s Day really misplaced in Aquarius season, or is it the perfect time to reflect on love as a revolutionary force—one that seeks to uplift not just one person, but all of humanity?
If that piques your curiosity, dive into this episode and let’s explore the power of love, logic, and collective care. Welcome to The Power of Ideas.
