The Aquarian Age

Humanity is in a transition, a fade between two eras. 

It is true that there is a difference of opinion as to when humanity will re-enter the Aquarian Age. 

Rather than getting confused with more complicated and uncertain calculations, would it not be better to observe the changes in analogy with the sign of Aquarius from the 1950s until now? We can see the transformative work of the Aquarian Era with the emergence of the hippie movement and their peace and love philosophies, to name but a few examples. Veganism built on an ethic in favour of the rights of the living. With permaculture, the village echoes. With a spirituality that originates in the individual rather than in dogmas imposed externally or/and by religions. With the decompartmentalisation of scientific values and quantum science. The instantaneousness of information from social networks, the disinterest of young people in possessing isolated and personal structures. With the emergence of multiple realizations of awakenings of consciousness... etc 

Conversely, the fear of transition with influences from the previous era that clings to habits, power, control and division. 

The shadow aspect of Aquarius (Prometheus) must also be taken into account, not that the Promethean myth is negative, every part of existence has truth and its opposite, a bright part and a dark part (Prometheus is the one who stole fire from the sky and gave it to men. For this, Jupiter had him chained to the Caucasus, where a vulture gnawed his liver). On a symbolic level, we could attribute to Prometheus this superior spirit willing to bring the light of knowledge in order to allow men to approach the Zenith. But in a way that can also be rigid in the sense of a distancing from the inspirations of the heart and a confinement in the labyrinth of intellectual knowledge and technological (transhumanist) progress in the name of a perfect humanity. To this end, if man fails in his evolution towards knowledge to touch the heart of the Aquarian age, he risks being chained to the Rock of his intellectual representations and destroyed by his own creations. This is likely to extend further when Pluto re-enters Aquarius in 2024 as the Promethean (Aquarius) desire for progress will clash with the will of the Faustian (Pluto) myth which states, ever more knowledge gives ever more power.

When the fundamental sense of service becomes a means to serve oneself rather than humanity, there comes a time when the risk of collapse is initiated from where we have "sinned".

Yet, in this period of interregnum that we are undergoing, where nothing seems real, or our inner uncertainties nevertheless let us glimpse the vital need for humanity to accept to live a profound metamorphosis.

Whether we accept it or not, nothing can prevent life from following the course of its cycle and bringing humanity the evolution towards a higher consciousness and greater brotherhood.

Rather than living in fear of what is coming to an end, it would be better to spread, here and now, the seeds of meaning of the new cycle that is coming. 

Whether they are social-cultural, 

Physiological,

Philosophical,

Biological,

Spiritual,

Natural.

Existence wants us well and the above-mentioned trends of the modern era are only a transition period. Let us sincerely try, in a gradual way, to accept the path that destiny has carefully mapped out for us, deconstructing the false meanings that we have constructed for ourselves out of a need for security. Luc Bigé tells us on; https://reenchanterlemonde.com/ in his vast work of re-enchanting the world. If we do this, the whole universe will contribute to the good development of our metamorphosis.

Let's step out of the Aquarian age and describe a very selfish side of Aquarius.

It's often said that as the opposite sign to Leo, Aquarius is the complementary humility that Leo needs, and in a way it's true. However, we would be surprised to find that ego hides in the more subtle parts of the personality and becomes more powerful because of its comfortable anonymity.

The Dark Side of Aquarius and Uranus

We put a lot of emphasis on the sign of Aquarius through our blog and yet we are not necessarily all from this sign and/or having a dominance of its ruler, Uranus. On the other hand, as you may have sensed, we are in the energy of the Aquarian Age and that is why we often emphasize this sign. 

It has an impact on the collective unconscious on a global level and that is why we are talking about the rather dark aspect of Aquarius.

When we talk about the sign of Aquarius, we often think of its need for independence and freedom, its ingenuity, its quick wit and its humor. It is also said to represent the higher mind or the higher octave of Mercury. Mercury and Gemini have a more academic intelligence while Aquarius goes beyond the structures established by Saturn. In fact, he will destroy Saturn's too much rigidity by becoming rebellious, avant-garde, revolutionary while keeping deep inside him a hidden rigidity coming from the fixed side of Aquarius. Aquarius has two masters, Uranus and Saturn. We have the overflowing side of ideas coming from a quick understanding, flashes of innovative perceptions. And the Saturn side of Aquarius, more centered, cold and individualistic, more detached from the bonds of the heart, but also more efficient because it devotes its ingenuity to the service of the community.

Before talking about the shadow side of Aquarius, it is important to understand that the 12 signs all have bright and dark spots.

The shadow side of Aquarius that I would like to share here is their extreme need to say no. That is to say that Aquarius has an egotistical need to be different from others, for this reason he uses the antithesis (the truth and its opposite) in all discussions, because he likes to discuss and have ideas about everything, he will always start by saying no and often agree in the end, it is this side of him that makes him contradictory.

Let's take up Luc Bigé's sentence about the sign of Aquarius and thé Prometheus myth on https://reenchanterlemonde-com.translate.goog/produit/promethee-la-sublime-irreverence/?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr It is also individualism, the thought that takes precedence over the heart, it is a form of intellectual hardness that can lead to an intense speculation disconnected from the living world.

Let's dive into the heart of the matter, by digging into Luc Bigé's sentence

The speculative nature of Aquarius is, in my opinion, the most difficult part of his expression. He has such a need to feel excited in his communication with others, with lots of bright new ideas in relation to the world and in all its dimensions, be they political, social, economic, individual, spiritual, etc., that he will constantly go against the grain of others and put forth a speculative idea, i.e., without any apparent evidence, simply to be in a contrary trend in order to feel like he exists. To be more tolerant of Aquarian, I would say that he is fascinated by inspirations and information that come to him from the higher mind. It's often unconscious, but there is a seduction and excitement in connecting to that flash of thought and ideas that seem to come from the highest sphere of understanding. But even though Aquarius perceives the magic of his higher mind with often fascinating flashes of perception... Aquarians have a strong ego hidden behind the veil of humor and their capacity for detachment.

In what sense can speculation disconnect us from the living world?

By dint of listening to his need for mental excitement and his desire to be different, the Aquarian and/or the Uranian will really lose the connection with the bonds of the heart And will maintain an emotional distance and coldness.  Thus he disconnects himself from the living and does not perceive the integrity of the other, his singularity, his sensitivity, where, the nature which is under his eyes, a sunset, a warm listening with his neighbors. Instead of living the present moment with what surrounds him, he connects to thousands of miles away and speculates on the state of the world through social networks....

For this, Aquarius will have much to learn from the sign of the lion.

With this conclusion, we would like to denounce this tendency that is taking shape everywhere in the world where speculation and the desire to exist take precedence over the bonds of the heart. It seems essential to us to find a space of resource beyond speculations and often sterile claims and to turn to values of love, whether it be with our neighbors, our friends, our children and our family. Rediscovering our place in the community that surrounds us through simple and warm exchanges, perceiving the nature that is at our door, the trees, the sun, the flowers and the smile of a child. And if the need to assert ourselves arises, let's take back our power by putting aside our need to convince and find our own assurance.

And let us act deeply from our being, because only this dimension belongs to us totally. Our enemy is above all fear, and this fear can only be tamed if we accept to look at ourselves in the mirror that we project in the world.
