The sign of The Water Bearer and Freedom Seeker
Aquarius is the celestial sign that bestows the universal cosmic waters onto humankind and our planet. Although Aquarius is an air sign, it is known as “The Water Bearer” and this connection through the healing element of water symbolizes an ability to spread its cosmic gifts of giving and restoring life to humanity.
Among many things, Aquarius is the sign associated with futuristic thinking. Aquarians are humanitarian and philanthropic by nature with an intention to make the world a better place. Because this February New Moon is closely aligned to Mars, the god of action, it is a wonderful time for each of us to set new intentions to actively help make our planet habitable for all sentient beings now and in the future.
Aquarius is ruled by the planets Saturn and Uranus. Saturn is interested in maintaining the status quo, whereas Uranus wants unprecedented and sometimes radical change. Although these two are seemingly at odds with one another, they are the cosmic energies that ensure change, and therefore evolution. Their message reveals the need for embracing change, because if we resist, we may very likely find ourselves in the midst of a crisis.
This New Moon is an important time to evaluate your own desires and need for change. Set intentions for the winds of Aquarius to blow, and for its healing waters to flow into your life.
