Thoughts on Aquarius

January 20 - February 18, 2002

Compiled by Ann Cahoy

This constellation (Aquarius) is of supreme importance for it is the sign into which our Sun is rapidly moving.  It is largely responsible for the changes now being effected in our planetary life in all the kingdoms of nature and, because it is an air sign, its influence is all pervasive and inter-penetrating.  (Pg. 134)                                                                                            

Aquarius is pre-eminently a sign of constant movement, of changing activity and recurrent mutations, and the symbol for the sign is expressive of this state of activity.  It is, therefore, a sign in which the significance of cycles is mastered and understood by the initiate.(Page 141)

In Aquarius, the man awakens to the beauty of group life, group interest and his individual responsibility towards the group and begins to live his life and to spend himself in the service of humanity. (Pg. 145)                                                                                                   

The sign Aquarius has three ruling planets. 

The Exoteric Ruler is Uranus:   Uranus is the planet of occultism for it veils "that which is essential;  it hides that which must be discovered and, at the right moment, it transmits knowledge of the hidden mystery."  Today, for the mass of men, occultism is non-existent;  for the aspirant and the disciple occultism is rapidly becoming a source and system of revelation as they penetrate into the wisdom of the Hierarchy. (Pg. 438)              

 The Esoteric Ruler is Jupiter:     Jupiter in its lowest aspect gives the fulfillment of desire and satisfied demand, whilst in its highest Jupiter is the outgoing expression of love, which attracts magnetically to itself that which is desired--this time the good of the whole.  (Pg. 171)

The Hierarchical Ruler is the Moon: This type of force...indicates that which is past.  It, therefore, summarises limitation and the present handicaps.  It governs the physical body and shows where the prison of the soul is to be found. (Pg. 19)
