Aquarius in Evolutionary Astrology: Here to Know Its Genius

Aquarius is here to know its genius.

I made this one for all of you carrying Aquarius, which is everyone, since it lives somewhere in every chart. What most are taught is cold and detached. What I love about Aquarius is that it's the peak of the ego's development, knowing your individuality and living it, and getting to create something no one else has created. Its remedy is Leo, the sign across the wheel, with the lion-hearted courage to be in the game.

Aquarius, in words

What it feels like: The light bulb.

Aquarius is a very fast energy. The higher mind is highly activated, and the third eye with it: I am paying attention.

It's the aha moment, the lightning bolt, that sudden shock of insight. Once the light bulb goes off, you can never go back.

It can feel detached from the body, way out there like ether, and standing as one in the world asks a lot of the nervous system.

What most are taught: Cold and detached.

What most people say about Aquarius is that it's cold, detached, blunt, the one who leaves the party without telling anyone. It is the most mental sign.

Go deeper and Aquarius is the peak of the ego's development. Houses 1 through 11 build the self, and in Aquarius we're self-realized, knowing our individuality and living it.

Then Pisces, the diving board, dissolves it back into oneness.

The joy of carrying it: Something no one else has created.

Aquarius gets to tap the genius from the infinite potential: I get to create something no one else has created.

It's the fruits of our labor. You've done the work of the 10th house, and now you get to receive, play in the field, and be your most creative self.

It's the quantum leap, like the video game that pops you up three more levels.

The good work: Decondition.

The 11th house starts to remove the layers of conditioning. Don't take anything with you that you don't need to take. Shed the skins of the past and go forth.

Then comes being witnessed in your shoes, saying what you stand for and showing what your talent is.

Someone goes first. Stand as a party of one, so others can follow you.

The shadow: Up in the tower.

Dissociation, distancing from feeling and emotion until your own personal needs get lost. Or arrogance, looking down on the little people.

Aquarius is the sports announcer up in the tower, noticing every move every player makes, and not in the game.

The remedy is Leo, its opposite: the one player bleeding and sweating and feeling every move, with the lion-hearted courage to be in it.

The highest intention

In Aquarius we reach a place of: I know my unique self, and I can stand and be witnessed in my uniqueness.

We're all different, we're all genius, we all have a thing. Everybody's doing this too, and we all get to contribute.

With Leo it's the axis of the creator: I'm in touch with my creativity, and I express it publicly.
