Future Lovers - it's Aquarius Season ♒️
If Capricorn is the past, tradition and preserving the status quo, Aquarius is the future, innovation and doing things differently.
It’s symbol is the water bearer. In Roman times the month of February was when they purified their homes and outbuildings - symbolically washing away the past to make way for the future - a bit like how we perceive New Year nowadays.
Deeply egalitarian with a strong social conscience Aquarius represents the ordinary man, society and humanity as a whole. However, the most unorthodox, tolerant, free-spirited and free-thinking sign of the Zodiac hates nothing more than being thought of as ordinary themselves.
Even their modern ruler, Uranus spins on its side with ice rings, similar to that of ancient ruler Saturn, moving vertically around the planet rather than horizontally. Known as a disruptive, unpredictable planet Uranus the awakener, magician and the wild-card of the firmament.
The ultimate rebels with or without a cause (James Dean was Aquarian!), water bearers often hold radical, revolutionary and non-conformist ideals, and as a fixed air sign they hold onto them with great tenacity. Which is a polite way of saying they can be opinionated, dogmatic and intolerant of anyone whose world view doesn’t align with their own!
Living their life through the lens of curiosity, impartiality and logic they can appear detached, controversial and even outspoken, despite their fervently altruistic desire for equality and the betterment of humanity.
It’s also the sign that rules technology and in particular technological advancements, inventions, discoveries, science, space, aliens and AI with Thomas Edison, Buzz Aldrin, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, Charles Lindbergh and Ferdinand Magellan all born during Aquarius season.
In the Tarot, 17 The Star shown here from the #maryeltarot is the card of Aquarius, symbolising hope, inspiration, our aspirations for the future and a period of healing and cleansing after the stormy days of The Tower.
