Aquarius, Uranus & the Shift into the Aquarian Age
I see the “Aquarian Age” as a shifting of awareness away from the notion of a “top-down” hierarchical order, into a co-creative, co-operative, co-laborative leadership process, where the “cells” are recognized for their imput into the decision making process. As contemporary biology is showing us, the heart is not a mere pump but part of a circulatory system where the veins and arteries are participants and not mere conduits. We learn that blood spirals through these bodily rivers just as solar systems spiral through space.
Whereas there is a place for hierachy: I wouldn’t want to fly in a plane with an untrained, unskilled pilot…when it is the primary modality; it doesn’t serve to meet all the needs. Healing is very different in its preventative approach than it is in its emergency model. It is not a question of totally replacing or discarding what is, but seeing its limitations and expanding the options to create greater variety and balance.

We are moving into an awakening that all of us are holographic/fractal representations of the “whole, wholly, w-hole” — the “U-ni-verse, Divine or Great Spirit, or whatever you prefer calling the Source. Accompanying this is the release of the idea that we need “bosses”: A Leo archetype of leadership, that assumes that there is a royal, more capable and divinely qualified, or a more powerful, dominating faction of folk, that needs to hold the reins and that we are merely along for the ride rather than participating in guiding the destination.
Our identity shifts from being insignificant, disempowered members of the cosmological and social order into realizing that each one of us is an active determiner of our collective experience. Whether this is on a conscious or unconscious level, that is whether we all realize it or not. We, as cells of the whole, are waking up and taking back the power we denied, and forgot that we had, as Cosmic Beings.
Awakening to this more authentic identity we take back the authority and power we “projected” on to a few. Those that haven’t awakened can experience this as a threat and do what they can thwart change and new ways of being. This friction takes place between the formed/ Saturn/Capricorn archetypre and the impulse to “re and in-form”.
The Uranus/Aquarian archetype is the energy that calls us to awaken and to reform the forms that no longer are true or effective based on our expanded awareness. We can see this within ourselves: There is the part that wants to maintain what is, as it is, since there is a belief that this will insure safety and because there is the fear of entering into the unknown. Then there is the part of us that desires to move into the realm of new possibilities because the status quo isn’t fulfilling our needs or our souls and is in fact threatening the entire planet and eco-system.
A fractal is a repeating pattern that shows up in every scale. For example, the leaf of an evergreen tree looks like a miniature of the entire tree.

A w-holographic image differs from a photographic image in this way: When you cut off the trunk in a photo you have two pieces, one of the trunk and one of the elephant. In a w-holographic image, instead of the part of the image that was the trunk continuing to appear as a trunk, it appears as the entire elephant although on a smaller scale. Nassim Haramein coined the phrase, “Holofractographic” to describe the holographic and nonlinear structure of the Universe.
What if Earthly communities, or tribes, are fractal “corelations” of the galactic dimension as it shows up in our planetary configuration. What if the twelve astrological archetypes are the “T–RIB–ES” of the planetary consciousness?
Just as a galaxy is comprised of individual stars or suns, likewise communities/tribes are made of individuals. As individuals wake up to who they are as divine consciousness, they simultaneously shake (Uranus archetype) up and slough off the old structure that is already collapsing from the unsustainable notions and behaviors that are outgrown and obsolete.
On the level of the body we see the galactic fractal reflected in the trillions of cells that make up each physical form. As we realize that we are not the one personality or entity illusion and education have suggested, we let go of and forge a new identity that embraces multiplicity and multi-dimensionality.
The old adage, “The ONE is in the many and the many is in the ONE,” is revealed to us, through the eyes of the telescope and microscope, to be astoundingly true! The gift we can give each other is to realize that, since there are no duplications in perspective, each one of us has a valuable contribution to make, based on our own unique experiences. Since we all have our primary identity in SOURCE or the Divine, all these expressions have some validity although some may be more comprehensive and valuable than others.
ARIES: As the pioneers of the zodiac you are called to move into the unmapped, unchartered territories of new possibilities. Uranus is urging you to gather your courage and dare to share the visionary turf that you have discovered as you’ve explored the territory ahead of the pack. Individuality is cherished, not as an end in its self, but for the greater contribution it makes to relationships, creativity and community.
TAURUS: It’s a great time for you to loosen up on your pragmatism and realize that nothing is more practical than feeling a conscious connection with the Divine. Being in Nature is one of the greatest ways to re-connect. Whether gardening or walking in the snow, take the time to feel as well as see the beauty and let yourself be infused with the Divine. Diligence is great but sometimes we need to stop and just let it be.
GEMINI: Mercury is your planet and I’m so sorry for all the bad press it gets in its retrograde phase. While it is true that some of our communication can be challenged, it is also prime time to reconnect with friends and relatives. Reframe, reflect, refine, rennovate and renew. Nature is wise. We are wise when we align with Her rather than try to force or coerce Her to fit into the little boxes and straight lines humans have devised. Where are you being called to take some deep breaths and re-align so that you are going with the flow?
CANCER: Cancer is adaptable. Every child has taught every Mother all about adaptability! The moon journeys through all the signs every month, each time creating new possibilities. Heraclitus said “We can never put our foot in the same river twice.” Like wise the Moon governs the waters and invites us to learn from what we are reflecting on. We can consider reflection a kind of digestion for the Soul. What reflections are you contemplating?
LEO: The late, great Joseph Campbell urged us to follow our bliss. Bliss can’t be faked. It comes from the heart and Soul and is our internal guidance system. Please make sure to tune in and give yourself permission to enjoy what you love with the knowledge that in doing so you are lightening the load not only for yourself but for us all. Why? Because vibration is communal. We are influenced by and we influence the shared reality we inhabit. Know that celebration is not a selfish act but a way to bless the whole. On the Leo full moon, on the 3rd, tune into and give expression to something that lights you up like the star that you are!
VIRGO: Mercury goes direct on February 11th giving you a green light to go forward with your plans and projects. I love the way Virgos apply intelligence in the most practical, efficient ways. You have a capacity to notice what others overlook. Thus, your connection with the plants and flowers and their healing properties. Your wisdom is found when you realize perfection is not something to be achieved or obtained. Instead it is the recognition that perfection can include that which appears to be imperfect!
LIBRA: The North Node is in your sign with Venus in Pisces conjunct Neptune. So what does that have to do with you? Plenty! Relationship, particularly the learning of the arts of cooperation and collaboration are the needed antidote the excess emphasis on competition and individualism. The Neptunian/Pisces nightlight advises you to open to inspiration, imagination and spiritual love while making sure not to be lured by illusion and escapism.
SCORPIO: What if I were to tell you that nothing will be as powerful for you as your ability to forgive? I’m not talking about making abuse, abandonment or betrayal ok, but to realize that you are the benefactor of forgiveness for you no longer carry the weight of the past around you neck. It is for your freedom, peace of mind and well-being as well as your spiritual growth. When compassion takes the place of resentment, a whole new world of possibility opens up for you.
SAGITTARIUS: Whatever plans you have in the making now is a great time to put them on paper. Remember, you can always modify, change and revise your intentions. Organization adds to your freedom and we know that is one of your priorities! You are invited to place greater focus on the forms that will gift you with increased ability to go where you want to go, whether in mind, body or spirit!
CAPRICORN: Ceres, the archetype of practical nurturing is in your sign now. What is it that you can provide, to yourself and to others, that will contribute to the well being of all involved? Capricorn needs to overcome the fear of being replaced by the new. One of the ways to do this is to focus on what you have to give and give it as your legacy, no matter how old you are. There is no need to fear the new when you realize Life lives through change and when you are willing to change, more Life can flow through you.
AQUARIUS: This is your time of the year! With the Sun and Mercury in your sign there is a lot going on for you. Let the Leo full Moon bring some celebration into your heart. I invite you to feel gratitude for your friends and the groups or Sanghas that enhance your life. Take the time to tell them how much you appreciate them, especially anything that you’ve been wanting to say but have hesitated! Happy Birthday!!!!!
PISCES: Healing and Inspiration are keynotes for you this month. It’s a great time to take an action that supports your health and wellbeing, be it a walk, a massage, or a dare with the dentist. Take care of your health. Let your connection to Source, God, The Divine, however you refer to that great BEingness that we come from and return to, have center stage in your life this month. Let yourself dance in the energies you love. Kick off your shoes and let yourself be free to flow joyfully, like a dolphin in the sea.
