The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Starting February 14 at 6:22 pm EST, the Sun enters Aquarius. This may have a big effect on the world scene. Right now we are poised between revolution surges. From one uprising to another, the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in sidereal Pisces is like a flood, with waves of water filling in the deepest holes first, and moving inexorably to change.

THE ONE AND ONLY AQUARIAN
Feb. 14 - March 16

"Aquarius" by Hiroko Sakai

Far, far ahead of its time, Aquarius offers knowledge as the key transformative factor in the universe.

Aquarian thirsts for knowledge in order to share with the world. That is why science, higher education and the search for truth is ruled by Aquarius.

When they fail, when they are wrong (never admitted) they can always disappear. We can’t pin them down or change them.

Aquarius can think whatever they want. If you don't like Aquarians the way they come, then don't come knocking on the door.

Who are the enemies of Aquarius? Anyone who would impede or obstruct the aquarian agenda. Aquarians' idea of competition isn't to vanquish, but to achieve the Aquarian objective:

Peace on Earth,
Goodwill to All

The Aquarian Alternative

Uranus: the Razor of Truth
Johann Bode named Uranus soon after its discovery in 1781 by William Herschel, but it took over a hundred years for freedom-loving Aquarians to break away from their previous ruler, Saturn and its restricting rings, and gain the eclectic and erratic genius of Uranus, the strangest planet in the solar system. With its sideways rotation and unusual orbit, Uranus is a planet that doesn't belong. With its own faint rings and mysterious moons, Uranus swings in and out of our lives like a scythe of truth; cutting in all directions, emotionlessly, almost complaisantly, as it wreaks havoc on the studied, systemic existence we humans need to create. With Uranus providing the excitement and surprise, who else but Sidereal Aquarians made young and reckless again can cope with the twists of fate? Like a rebellious teen living with a wacky uncle, Aquarians find the perfect planetary match in Uranus to their lonely path, and take full advantage of the situation by uprooting itself, breaking attachments, and freeing their feet from the the earth.

Aquarius factoid: They like to debate

Aquarians: Air and Stagnation
The quality of Aquarian air is fixed and wet. Like a downpour, Aquarians bring the rain. Like the atmosphere itself, these cloud dwellers hold the sky together, and then let the pressure drop. The water-bearer slakes our thirst, cools off the heat, brings relief.

Aquarians need a fresh breeze to sweep away decay. What we regard as chaos they see as a house cleaning, having complete faith that change brings improvement. Not that they won't be nostalgic about the past and grieve their losses. Aquarians endlessly pontificate on former perfection and grace. It keeps Aquarians running, and on the run. Since stagnation is death, Aquarians have to keep moving, like the shark, even in sleep, to remain vital.

Nice ankles for a quick takeoff
Aquarians often have beautiful ankles, strong and supple, because that is their strength and the source of their balance. The ankles telegraph Aquarian health, and they are also an early warning system for excess and disease. When these ankles swell with water, beware, the toxins are running rampage on the organs, and sickness isn't far behind. Aquarians must protect the Ph balance in the cellular fluids to keep their ankles healthy. Also, they should massage these sensitive areas, and use yoga to stretch the hamstrings.

How do otherwise mild-mannered Aquarians cope with chaos and anxiety? They rebel! They speak out! They spread sedition! What happens to Aquarians who cannot? They fall into deep depression and blow their minds. Aquarians can trip on alcohol like the magical mystery tour. In fact ANY drug can have a revelatory effect on them, anything to induce their memories to spring forth. Aquarians keep everything—even their own lives—in reserve to find their muse and relax their mind whenever they need to flee frustration.

No sense trying to intervene with Aquarius; you will BOTH just turn into stone. Give Aquarians their high; whiskey or curds and whey, whatever, their own chemistry will adapt and acclimate—there's nothing you can do, anyway. Only a change of venue often gives Aquarians the change of viewpoint they need to continue on their quest. Sometimes it is just geographical. Wherever they pause is just a rest stop on route to a personal Hajj in which all Aquarians are called to the ephemeral temple of knowledge, a virtual library of Alexandria that resides in every Aquarian head.

Bad Blood, Bad Brain
The Aquarian formula for destruction revolves around too much water. Water retention actually is too much of either uric acid or, more rarely, unabsorbed calcium in the body fluids. The result is dirty blood. This is the Japanese concept of bad digestion, poor health and the condition, very common in the West, called Sanpaku. Slow death; slow appetite, slow circulation, slow bowels. Can depression, lack of sleep, then infection be far behind? Once the blood is fouled, it causes a mental lethargy as it courses through the brain. Without the mental power to think, Aquarians are sitting ducks.

When the kidneys get clogged with fat, the body fluids are full of toxins which accumulate in the body extremities or the body cavities. Once the body can't process its own swill, the veins and the brain are filled with blood containing the equivalent of raw sewage. What causes this accumulation? It could be a sodium-potassium imbalance; too much or too little of either one. Salt itself isn’t the problem, it's our life spring and is required to bathe cells. Swollen ankles could be a calcium-magnesium deficiency. It also indicates a B-vitamin anemia , all required for mineral absorption.

Much more likely, water retention is the sign of infection, and even a low-grade fever. Long term infections go almost unnoticed, until the body's defenses get worn down and the infection starts to migrate and take hold. Macrobiotics are always amazed at how many "incurable" infections and unwanted bacterial yeasts Americans entertain on a daily basis. Only the increased use of antibiotics and drug store remedies can make us think we are healthy.

At a certain point the aquarian diet, at worst resembling birds picking on road kill, leads them to disease so closely linked with their lifestyle that they become enmeshed with their own symptoms, mistakenly concluding that these quirks are a manifestation of their individuality.

The Humanitarian and Fair Witness
The harbingers of change, Aquarians always play a devil’s advocate. While utterly confusing and annoying others, Aquarian seek to achieve a Zen state of complete detachment. Aquarians will gladly sympathize with the masses, but join them?—in your dreams. Always willing to pull the plug on hypocrisy (except their own) they want to be the final arbiters of the truth. If the truth be told, Aquarians will try to be impartial and tolerant, good witnesses and journalists, but in the effect, they will only stay true to themselves.

Aquarian’s perspective is removed—elevated—from hurtful emotion. This way they can stay calm during times of disruption, attack, and a sudden change of wind direction. Laser beams from Uranus shine a crazy light on the Aquarian brain, they are halfway in the stars, already. Our connection with the Universe will finally come clear—in 650 years when the age of Aquarius begins in earnest. Life’s an endless journey, and Aquarians are the guides.

The Michael Jordan Dead Zone
Aquarians often create a state of turmoil that is the opposite of their intentions. This reveals the older symbol of their sign: the crossed swords. Aquarians love the contest of contrary opinions. They hone in on a state of concentration to the exclusion of everything else. Once the gauntlet is down, Aquarians compete with as much intensity as their other cerebral cousins, Sagittarius. Both signs fight furiously in the game, but Aquarius can reach a cognitive dissonance that rejects all opinions but their own. Once in the dead zone, Aquarians can slam dunk with a great, incredible Michael Jordan leap forward. If Aquarians listened to the crowd, or cared about the expectations of others, they could never win.

Aquarians see the world as a no fault, no malice, no blame free for all, like a mosh pit of ideas. People will oppose their daring, and build resistance to the Aquarian grab for freedom. How dare Aquarius? To cope, Aquarians distance and elevate themselves in order to defeat the naysayers. If they meet a brick wall, they merely float over it. Is it any wonder that Aquarians solve many of their relationship problems the same way? Like a Rolling Stone, the downside to freedom and casual friendship is isolation and limited, truncated partnerships. Aquarian’s perspective is free of hate, a hurtful emotion, but their style of love is rootless and intellectual.

Love and the Friend Zone
The cumulative strain of detachment can cause Aquarians to fall into a reverie that can be catatonic, as if they are in a state of shock. Ennui can become paranoia, due to stress and poor nutrition. Stress turns Aquarians into “comfort” addicts. They procrastinate when it comes to action. They’ll adopt bizarre eating and sleeping habits in avoidance. And, they will fade out of their love relationships, either mentally, or, if possible, physically as well.

To the Aquarian, the entire world is in the friend zone. This includes their closest friends, relatives, children and their lovers. Lovers never really leave the friend zone, they just inhabit a larger part of it. The lover or mate of the Aquarius must realize that if they demand more than friendship, Aquarius will bolt, or evaporate. Life long friendships are easy for Aquarius if they never leave the zone. Only complexity, passion and the demands of others drive them away.

Fingers in the Soil
Despite Aquarian love of change and excitement, what the body wants and requires is rest and regulation. Aquarians should cultivate meditation and simple grace, their own natural propensity. Aquarians could develop hobbies that would keep them connected to the Earth, like gardening, running or biking. Or they might enjoy the ones that separate them from it, like sky diving or scuba diving. With Aquarians, we have to expect the unexpected and go with it, in order to maintain their internal peace. If they turn their lives over to destiny, they will not suffer the uncertainty of their own decisions.

Facing the music
It's foolish to pity the water-boy, or wonder how Aquarius got the way they are. As the most stubborn sign in the zodiac, even when directly opposed, Aquarians will never give up their dreams. If their lives are filled with drudgery, or too hard and suffocated with authoritarianism, they will disconnect rather than submit. Aquarians faced with this kind of repression become so detached that they are just capable of drifting with the winds, drifting further into memories and melancholia.
