You have more influence than you give yourself credit for, dearest Aquarius. Test this theory by using your voice while the Aries Moon and Saturn join forces. You'll quickly realize that if you pull from experience and speak directly, peers are more willing to listen. As Pluto activates in your sign, a desire to evolve and empower yourself grows. Now is a good time to take responsibility for any educational journeys you've been meaning to embark on but haven't yet. Just be mindful of the expectations you place on yourself when Luna squares Jupiter tonight, or you could soon feel burdened by what you've taken on.
