Sun Enters Aquarius
Sun Enters Aquarius
19th 5:45 PM PST / 20th 12:45PM AEDT
Following the past few weeks’ bottleneck of planets in Capricorn, the sun follows Venus into Aquarius, encouraging us to put a new spin on an old idea. Capricorn and Aquarius are both classically ruled by Saturn, the planet of law and order, structure, and discipline. Subsequently, the Sun spends two months of the year highlighting Saturnian themes, vitalizing the Capricorn and Aquarius houses in our natal charts.
While the Sun in Capricorn is more 'old hat', reverent of tradition, mindful of legacy, practiced in tapping ancestral magic and earthbound intelligence, the Sun’s entrance to Aquarius heralds the winds of change; a shift in the zeitgeist. The wisdom we feel in our bones (Capricorn) can be harnessed for the sake of progress (Aquarius). Knowledge is only as good as its real-world applicability. When it ceases to be relevant, it falls into disuse. It becomes lore.
As the Sun enters Aquarius, the most important question is: how can I become more free? So first, we must identify what is keeping us captive. Is it our dependance on convention? Our assumption that the established way is the best way? Our assertion that we are past the point of personal improvement, content to be set in our ways?
The Aquarius Sun arrives to awaken you, to release you from stagnancy. This is a month to experiment, chase personal and professional progress, and make new community connections. Apply the knowledge you’ve cultivated in fresh settings. Be the water bearer; pour your energy into breaking barriers and defying self or societally-imposed limitations. Change is inevitable. Let your contribution to this burgeoning reality be in the spirit of change that you can be proud of.
