o here we are in the meat and potatoes, the rice and veggies, the yogurt and
quinoa; The elemental-elev- enth sign of the Zodiac- Aquar- ius. The eleventh house is the house of community, connec- tions and friend- ship. And there for the question of the hour (the eleventh hour) becomes “what is the source of nourishment and sustenance of these group- ings”. Whether this is sustaining the community of self, other- child, friend, partner
or
grouping. It is the tie that binds, the nourishment that pours on to the sometimes-parched areas of our lives, growing the collec- tive root system. Woo hoo! Aquarians are the most un- assuming and (mostly) gentle souls. They are most adept at solving even the most com- plexing of issues. When it’s out of their range they’ll say so- no issue/ no judge/ no problem “let’s find someone who can”. Being great think- ers, largely intuitive, border- ing on genius, their unconven- tional is cool and fluid. They could easily work for the CIA, be court judges or corporate heads. As with most things astrological this assignment can and often is metaphorical – on the outside - a produce manager at Safeway, on the inside - attentive of all the go- ings on in her neighborhood- resourceful, fair and compas- sionate.
These mild-mannered
Aquarian creatures are usually very attractive without need- ing to be pretty and their cha- risma is often best understood on a molecular level. They can change the polarity of a gath- ering by entering and perme- ating the cell wall. Powerful.
They are also the high-pres- sure system that blows in and clears the air and you can feel that warmth of the sun. When one is the object of
their attention it can feel like you are everything and want
of them. But no gravity here so it can feel a bit disorient- ing until you acclimate. Oh cod… Being the 12 sign, al- pha/ omega of the zodiac this makes none and total sense at the same time. Here’s a real gem for all of you Piscean detectives and secret writers, pick up a copy of” write your own horoscope by” joseph Goodav- age. It’s an excel- lent overview of astrology, from a different point of view, adding a little Old Spice here and a little dab’l do ya there. Trust me you of all signs will gra- ciously surf the
for nothing. Magnetic. And-
you guessed it, when the light turns – away, up/down/over- it can feel like the dark side of the moon- cold, no communi- cation. This then is the chal- lenge game for the magical Aquarius by sign and for all of us traveling through. The perceived extremes of things are “easy”. It’s the 3s-4s and 5s of it all that require a little finesse, nuance – grace. One of the “established”
conditions of our universe is that it is of a binary nature- on/off, +/- etc. Without getting too heady- we, as a species seem to be pushing for a third category an “or” if you will. This seems to be the perfect territory for the revolutionary Aquarius. The symbol is of a maiden (voyage) being, gath- ering “water”/ mana in one vessel and pouring it out from another. Being a fixed sign, their “core” needs constant ex- ercise to keep them balanced. Now for a totally different
kind of balancing act. We have the fabulous dual fish act of Pisces. You can almost feel like they carry the whole Wikipedia between the both
ironies. So Chinese astrology gives
us the Brown earth pig. Happy Chinese New Year. This year it would be advisable to spend some more time in a relaxed frame of mind and avoid pushing yourself. Yes, there is always tomorrow to fin- ish that project. Right Zak? Home and all things home and personal environment. Pigs are very tidy, sensual beings. Funny huh. Pisces, queen of ambigu-
ity is a feminine sign. Female energy is so highly in focus right now and its pummeling hard on male domination. This seems to show the fissures in each dichotomous camp. Pos- sibly taking a soothing dose of powerful Piscean medicine right about now can let take down the public shade; blur- ring us collectively to a more heart centered place. Now that’s fishy advice for you. All right friends that’s it for now A happy birthday to all you geniuses out there both Aquarian AND Piscean. Blessing all!
