Sun in Aquarius

The Sun enters Aquarius today from Capricorn.  Now that we have learned the lessons in stability and deep commitment to complete that which we can chisel to masterful refinement, it is time to throw off the chains that bind.  To cut away all that is consistent, predictable and honorable and walk towards the unknown and the unconventional.  We have completed the great race, followed the breadcrumbs to completion and now we move away from solidity into that which can be burned into ether.  Like the passing wind that shifts from moment to moment, we surrender to the whims of spontaneous uncertainty.  What if we left all that we have known and turned the dial to reveal a new way to see, perhaps leading to some new invention or perspective not considered?  If donkeys could fly, well maybe they can?!?!? How do we evolve beyond that which we contain ourselves within?  What expectations of ourselves are old and moldy?  The Aquarian energy is affiliated with the Genius, the Madman and the Revolutionary.  For the spark of something truly ingenious requires a departure from normative expectations.  Aquarius is here to rock that boat, to color outside the lines, and march to their own beat.  We all have this energy to some extent or we would just be clones of each other.  To risk our own individuality and celebrate that we are “unique” is the essence of this sign.  The sign also has an uncanny sense of looking at the whole enchilada and taking a step back to view it from above or below to infer what parts have come together to concoct the creation.  Aquarian perception is quite adept as a mental sign that can be detached just enough to know what may really be going on when all balls are in the air.  As the Aquarian needs to unleash the need for others approval, it can find the freedom necessary to be the “oddball”.   Now that does not mean oddball for oddball’s sake, but rather letting go of the tendency to behave in ways that are based on acceptance.  If the Aquarian reaches too far, it may fall into a treacherous area where the line between sanity and madness begin to blur.  It is a fine line, one that needs to be walked to find the nuggets of brilliance and improvisation, but not get lost in the chaotic and dysphoric.  As we find the Moon in Gemini today, we may feel our hearts take on a spontaneity and curious inquiry into matters of the heart.  Also an air sign like Aquarius, we may feel a swiftness and willingness to shift with changing directions.  It is a time to be mentally inspired, giving in to what mental chatter may keep the inquiry alive.  While we have this flexibility in our emotions, we may be open to the diversity of life, inspired by the unpredictable, the potential of it all.  With Jupiter and Venus in mutable signs tensely prodding each other and the Moon, we may find we want to be social and in search of the greater meaning but we can rest assured that holding anything too tightly is futile as the energetic remains malleable.  Take the next 30 days to break down any hardened walls that are no longer serving the individual YOU.
