28 Aquarius 37′

Aquarius, speak to us of our dreams, hopes and wishes.  What are these things to you with Sagittarius on your 11th house*?

And Aquarius says, I am as the Man of La Mancha, chasing the “Impossible Dream,” tilting at windmills, deeply loving Dulcinea, a symbol of love mistaken as worthless. And with Pluto in Sagittarius on the cusp of the 11th house, I am what is becoming known as “The Secret”.  I am the”meta” physical, beyond physical, way of living in the world of name and form, which is and always has been a spiritual world.  I am your chance to collectively save yourselves and the world.

But my rewards do not go to the dabblers and the insincere.  I am not a quick fix, though I am faster than the speed of light, and my time has come.

I am about banding together in the interests of higher ideals.  I like fiery rhetoric when it is singing a better world into existence, beating that different drummer beat, catching hip and feet, marching, marching into a new set of circumstances.  I like it when people tell other people, with confidence and enthusiasm, “We can make it if we try.”

I may seem impossible, but the reward is in the pursuit.

Libra on Aquarius’ 9th square Capricorn on the 12th

I Believe in love, moderation, equalization, peace. The scales seek give-and-take and balance.  You set in order that which you are moved by.  Aquarius is thrilled to the teeth by peace and tranquility—every thing and every one in its place.  Nothing dominates the scene.  Beauty is blended into a whole that evokes calm.  Justice reigns, what’s true is true and what’s fair is fair.  The 9th house represents your goals as determined by what inspires you.  The 12th house is a tally of your ideas in motion.  The mastery of relationships from this month’s Aquarian angle is the goal.  We want to get it right. (mastery = Capricorn, relationships = Libra)

You believe in peace, but you are afraid of the devil.  You believe in love, but you have doubts and fears, wounds and tears.”  (Libra square Capricorn)

The need to blend one on one (Libra) has to square with a need to bar others from your sanctuary space.  The question is bond or block?  Bond or bar?  Bond or freeze?  If we can bond and balance, we can also build.  We can also produce or parent.

“It’s about me.”

We all have a story about what is going on out there.  What goes on between you and me and the world is the direct dealing of God with my soul, although it seems to be coming at me from you, for good or ill.  Or it’s coming at me from the world and the “they.”

Even though it looks like that, I repeat to myself.  “This is about me.”  It looks like change needs to happen.  I must change or it must change, so that I can sail through and live in peace.

But it is I who need to change.

Even though emotionally, I might be rabid that someone or something is choking me, blocking me, cheating me, this is about me.  The truth is, I am free, so why soever do I not feel that way?  Why the heck am I under the illusion that I am chained and choked by someone or something that is not me?

If you feel oppressed by someone or something, even some aspect of your own personality that you can’t seem to make obey your conscious desires, go to that place.  Feel that “oppression”.  And tell yourself, that right there is a lie.  Right there where you feel blocked and afraid and needing to, but just can’t, can’t start out.  What if?  Tell yourself.  I am free right here.  Right here where I feel so unfree, I am free.  Right here where I feel frustrated and afraid and I don’t know what to do.  Right here is growth. 

Breathe.

Watch what happens.  Watch things change for the better - without you wring your hands.

*An astrological “house” is an area of subject matter and experience.  It is an arena or stage.  Each house is assigned a sign or planet which is said to rule the house.  Aquarius is assigned to the 11th house and closely linked in meaning.  The 11th house is known to be a place where we dream dreams that we may think can’t come true.  It is also the area of shared ideals and so represents groups of friends and groups which have a common cause.  This Sun and Moon at New Moon falls somewhere on your personal astrological map, and it is most likely not the 11th house.  However, wherever it falls, the issues overlap.  So a person who has Aquarius on the 4th house, for example, might say that their home is a gathering place for friends with shared ideals or that societal issues shaped their family life.
