The Tao of Astrology
Sun in Aquarius You walk the path of the friendly genius as the urge to shine and harness creative vision is expressed through the archetype of the humanitarian, freedom fighter, and inventor. The shape of your bizarre charisma and cosmic influence is defined by your ability to harness the power of awareness, utilize unconventional ideas, sustain powerful winds of independent thought, empower enlightening concepts, and nurture visionary fields of knowledge. It is through the archetype of the electrifying scientist on the brink of discovery that you realize your creative potential and core identity, freeing others through innovative reforms. The element of air is your spiritual fuel, motivating you to live through the vibrant life of the mind. The Sun is in its fall state in the sign of Aquarius, opposing the archetype of Leo and its grand royal monarchy. Aquarians are born to stand up for humanitarian causes, to scream, “Give me liberty or give me death!” You can recharge your life force through visualization, mental stimulation, perceptual expression, and diving into the current paradigm shift that will accelerate consciousness on the planet. Your non-conformist, shocking way of belonging in the world reminds others that innovation and invention spring from originality and being true to your own path. You would rather fail at living your own dharma than succeed at living out someone else’s dry, prefabricated existence. You are the Promethean fire-stealer who is destined to bring vision and ingenuity to the world despite the personal cost. Your mind craves the sacred sciences, glowing with the radiation of lightning bolt-charged ideas. After the disciplined effort and caution of Capricorn, Aquarius emerges to break up the routine drudgery and take the road less traveled. Robert Frost wrote, “Two roads diverged in the wood, and I took the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference.”
Wholeness emerges in your
life when you integrate the opposite sign of Leo into your revolutionary
nature. The communal sage must become the royal, charismatic performer
in order to guide others to enlightenment. When you're an Aquarian it's
very hard for others to understand your allegiance to humanity as your
family and no one in particular. People infused with the Prometheus
archetype are here to think in ways that are not taught to think. We're
here to revolutionize, innovate, and invent new ways of doing
community. This doesn't help in our personal relationships, especially
when people have concerns and you just stare off into space listening
for the next cosmic download through the music of the spheres! It's a
blessing and a curse. Us Aquarians (or people with strong Uranus) don't mean to be indifferent and radical. We simply have to. It's the way we're wired. We see things from the point of view of the future. That's why we're often referred to as space cases! But to be complete we need the wonderful royal and radiant energy of Leo in our lives. Only in Leo's creative fire can our hearts be warmed. Then we can come down from the thunderous mountaintop of visions to merge with humanity at last. Then we can live and love deeply. The spiritual principle of Aquarius is individuation, a Jungian term for being true to the original face you had before you were born. Aquarians must be allowed to walk to the step of a different drummer, to embrace celestial intuition. They are experimental by nature, experts at putting things together that aren’t supposed to be together and coming up with new discoveries in the process. Both Saturn and Uranus take on extra significance in your chart as they disposit (govern) all planets occupying Aquarius. Therefore, the chart positions of Saturn and Uranus will have marked influences on your creative flow, spiritual recharge, and path of self-realization. They will also add qualities to the field of your charisma depending on their signs, houses, and aspects. Your highest purpose involves nurturing the unconventional and zany in your life, to truly be a source of radical, multidimensional insight. To open up that kind of intuition you must cultivate faith in the images that reside in your heart. When you become aware of your shadow you can transmute it into light, turning weaknesses into strengths. The shadow of Aquarius includes aloofness, unreliability, mental stubbornness, insensitivity, disruptive unpredictability, and the perversity of the mad scientist. With the cosmic vision of Uranus and the mature wisdom of Saturn as your guides you are invited to express your unorthodox ideas and harness the power of revolutionary genius that oscillates through your core.
