Sun in Aquarius

The Sun joined Mercury-Neptune in Aquarius today, opening up the channels that allow the unexpected to drop in. It's a time when intuition and intellect harmonize, leading to big leaps of logic. This stellium in Aquarius gives us the antennae to pick up what's swirling around in the collective. Being tuned in and having the clear-sight to see the possibilities, Aquarian atmospheres create this spontaneous linking up among people. That's what gives this sign a reputation for being revolutionary, this ability to provoke collective surges based on what's going on below (and above) the radar.

The Star card in the Crowley Tarot deck is associated with Aquarius, and its image shows an aspect of the Waterbearer, drawing down otherworldly energies, for use on the earthly plane. It's always been a favorite image of mine, an encouraging card about divine inspiration being made real. With Mercury in Aquarius, the mind soars past the usual limiting beliefs, and even transcends time and space. We can draw on the wisdom of the ages, and cast ahead into the future for ideas ahead of their time. A retrograde starting on the 28th keeps Mercury in Aquarius through mid-March. Something deep and magical can take place with Neptune involved like sudden mass epiphanies, and the conception of innovative solutions to our collective problems. One way to make the most of all this Aquarian energy is to keep your antennae clear by avoiding static (like bad TV or aimless net surfing). This makes it possible for those divine inspirations to come through.
