Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, the great awakener (Buddha and Christ consciousness). Eons ago Uranus was brushed by the dark body Nemesis, counterpart of our Sun and was tipped on its axis. This event reflected the aspect of self-consciousness that was sacrificed to the unconscious as an effect of focus (Saturn) and hence the direct line to the creator was severed, as one pole of this planet faces toward the sun and one away.
The symbol of Uranus is the circle of consciousness submerged under the cross of matter and so reflects unconscious forgotten knowledge and its awakening through creative interaction (Leo is the Polarity of Aquarius and is ruled by the Sun). Discovery that leads to heaven. The recognition of choice in the creation of reality. The falling asleep of the higher self. Rebellion against materiality (next orbit out from Saturn). This is why in mythology Saturn castrates (renders impotent) Uranus. This power then rises up again in reflection (Venus), the mirror of mind in matter.

As we see with the end of Uranus’ transit through Pisces (29 degrees), and urgent wake-up call is being created by oil spills, Orca killing trainers, the seas being polluted, overfished, and currents being altered by climate change and the inundation of CO2. These negative effects are our signal that the last 28 degrees have remained unconscious and not brought to light. Saturn opposing Uranus renders it impotent because the collective consciousness sleeps.
The concepts of birth and beginning are always associated with both the first house (the east point) and the sign Aries. Aries represents the birth of the identity, ego, self and singularity of definition. The symbol is reflective of the Ram's horns, a seed springing up from the ground, a power scepter and the incarnation of any idea; the thrust of a geyser. The beginning. It is the masculine component of identity definition. It articulates the beliefs that define the artificial personality construct self presentation and approach. The concerns are for self insertion, not reception (Mars).
The positive aspects of Uranus in Aries are pioneering events, research, effort, action and the application of the one to serve the whole.
The negative will be terror, war, identity confusion which leads to catastrophe, and lone wolves who undermine the efforts of the many.
Because Jupiter conjoins it shortly after its entrance, revelation will come with regard to our place in the universe, and Genetic discoveries that demand re-evaluation of our beliefs regarding our origin.
Because Uranus squares Pluto during it, there may indeed be major destruction and/or drastic change in consciousness as well as world direction.
Awakening unconscious knowledge leads to the merging and blending with the other dimensional or spiritual awareness at Neptune. Let us have the foresight to wake up before we reach the 29th degree.

Nice Blog, I should resurrect mine for sure. No worries, we are waking up, since we have imagined it, so it is. Thanks to people like you and me and many more - 51 percent positive and climbing! Its so exciting I tingle when I think about it!
ReplyDeleteWell, not everyone is waking up, some will some won't. Each person lives on a different Earth and so experience it differently.
ReplyDeleteBut as a whole we will be going through the major paradigm shift many cultures have foreseen. For those who welcome change it will be exciting, for those who do not participate in their own psychological awareness expansion, perhaps not so much.
Thanks for commenting!
