Don’t be shocked, but the Sun
entered Aquarius today. You know, that electrified sign that likes to astonish,
stun and shock us?
A Fixed (Triplicity) Air (Quadriplicity) sign, Aquarius, is
considered intellectual and a bit nerdy due to its absentmindedness. Often,
those born with Sun in Aquarius are unusually good looking, which is ironic
because they also tend to be rather asexual.
Still, Aquarians have a way
of surprising us because of their contradictory nature. Like their ruling
planet, Uranus, Aquarians never move in a linear, or predictable manner.
Rather, they seem to thrive on being unconventional, rebellious and embracing that which is not of the status quo.

| back to hippie? |
Remember that little thing
called the 1960’s? Remember the hippie movement back then? What was one of its
national anthems? Perhaps that song sung by The Fifth Dimension…something
about…this is the dawning of The Age of Aquarius.
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Okay, so the lyrics are
referring to an entire Age, which it's still not clear exactly when that will begin. Each sign of the Zodiac rules about 2,000 years and there’s no consensus about when
the Age of Pisces ends and Aquarius begins. But doesn’t that just reflect
Pisces confusion and Aquarian unpredictability?
Read about it here. And,
please watch the video for some great music:

But back to that 'peace and
love' thing. See, Aquarius is supposed to be insightful with an intuitive sense for humanity. As much as these folks are individualists, they also tend to
prefer relationships involving groups of people as opposed to those that are
one-on-one. Like its symbol, the Water Bearer--a man pouring water to the
masses from a large jug slung across his shoulders, Aquarians are inspired to
assist large, anonymous crowds rather than a single familiar face. After all,
Aquarians are sometimes commitment phobic in their quest for personal
freedom—which also contradicts their need to be of service to others.
By default, Aquarius rules
the 11th House of Friendship, Social Groups, Wishes, Hopes and
Dreams. Whatever sign and planets fall there determines the way you deal
with those areas of your life.

And, where is Aquarius in your chart? That’s where you are the most independent. Is it on the
Cusp of your Fifth House? Then, you could be more of a friend than parent to
your child. Or, maybe you like to have unusual love affairs. Aquarians can be
kinky, too, as they love to experiment with the unusual. Anyone for a threesome?
The planet Uranus has an
84-year cycle through the 12 signs. Therefore, when you reach the age of 42,
it’s exactly opposite of where it was in your Natal chart when you were born.
That's what we in the West refer to as the “midlife crisis”. In an effort to
recapture our youth, many of us behave suddenly and unexpectedly in our 42nd
year--especially males with money who often purchase red sports cars and begin
dating 20 year-olds. When Transiting Uranus opposes your Natal Uranus, it triggers planets that form aspects to that House. Just check it out if
you’ve already passed that age to see how you behaved during your Uranian
opposition.
Meanwhile, welcome to the Sun
in Aquarius until February 18.
