Aquarius, “A living sign and emotional sign”.

“In this sign the waters of the Piscean age will, symbolically speaking, be absorbed into the water-pot carried on the
shoulder of Aquarius in the symbol which is distinctive of this sign, for Aquarius is the water-carrier, bringing the water
of life to the people — life more abundantly.”1

Aquarius is an unique sign – having a dual expression of mind and emotion, similar to polar opposite Leo. Aquarius is an
“intellectual air sign”, the mental component deriving from its rulership by Uranus, the “planet of science”, plus the
Venus-ruled 5th ray of Science/Knowledge – the only ray to pass through this sign.

Yet Aquarius is the Water-Bearer – water being a symbol of the emotional or


astral nature. Here the Leo polarity of Aquarius is invoked, for although Leo is a
“fiery mental sign” – its passion is well-known, revealing the fact that Leo rules
the astral permanent atom – the sum total of emotional experiences in a soul’s
incarnations.

“Astral energies emanating from the new sign of the zodiac into which we are
now entering, the sign Aquarius. This sign, that of the water-carrier, is a living
sign and an emotional sign.

It will (through the effect of its potent force) stimulate the astral bodies of men
into a new coherency, into a brotherhood of humanity which will ignore all racial
and national differences and will carry the life of men forward into synthesis and
unity.

This means a tide of unifying life of such power that one cannot now vision it,
but which—in a thousand years—will have welded all mankind into a perfect brotherhood. Its emotional effect will be
to “purify” the astral bodies of men so that the material world ceases to hold such potent allure, and may in its later
stages bring about a state of exaggeration as potent in the line of sentiency as that which we have undergone in the
line of materiality!

The final stages of all signs produce over-development of the factor on which they most potently work. At present
the effect of this sign is constructive among the pioneers of the race, and destructive among the rank and file of
humanity.”2

Additionally, there is no hard and fast delineation between the signs in their sequential progression around the zodiac.
Aquarius is followed by water sign Pisces the Fishes, ruled over by Neptune – Lord of the Oceans:

“As one studies these twelve signs, it is interesting to trace the relation of consciousness to the preceding sign and to
the succeeding sign. It is peculiarly so in connection with the sign Aquarius. The material, earthly quality of Capricorn
becomes “dissolved into the air” in Aquarius. The individual “fish” of
the other sign [Pisces] becomes eventually the soul, and soul quality
emerges, and on the reversed wheel it demonstrates as the
pervasiveness of wisdom (Pisces) and the universal love of the truly
developed Aquarian.

… Esoterically, the developed Aquarian puts all he has into his water
pot, storing it there for service and giving it freely on demand to meet
a need. The sign Aquarius is also a dual sign and signifies two
vibrations.

It is here that its relation to Pisces emerges, for just as Pisces on the
wheel of illusion, the Mutable Cross, stands for substance and bondage, in Aquarius, substance and the anima mundi or
imprisoned soul begin to work in mutual tolerance, and in the higher Aquarian individual, soul and spirit are expressing
themselves through substance.

There is consequently an astrological relation between the band of stars in the constellation Pisces, which unites the
two fishes, and the quality and nature of Aquarius which relates and binds together into one working and synthetic
whole. The Aquarian recognises the bond which holds all together subjectively and in truth, whilst in Pisces the energy
of relationship constitutes an imprisoning band which confines and holds captive. Think this out. It is an error to
consider the margin of contact between two signs in the passage of the Sun to be in the nature of hard and fast
frontiers or set boundary lines. Such is not the case.

There are no rigid lines of demarcation separating two entirely different


areas of experience and consciousness upon the solar path. It only
appears to be so and this itself is part of the Great Illusion.”3

Further upon the theme of water – its emotional symbolism is a “lower


manifestation of love-desire”. The solar plexus centre is the “doorway” to
the astral body and its immediate evolutionary journey is to be lifted to
the heart centre. The heart centre is ruled over by Jupiter and the Sun –
the former the esoteric ruler of Aquarius, whilst the latter is the ruler of
polar opposite Leo the Lionheart. Both signs are connected to the Pole
Star:

“The influence which emanates from the Pole Star and which is such a
potent factor in our solar system reaches our planet via the sign Aquarius. The reasons will be noted if the student
bears in mind the significance of water as a symbol of the emotions, which are but a lower manifestation of love-
desire.

Aquarius is a force centre from which the adept draws the “water of life” and carries it to the multitude. This force
from the Pole Star, via Aquarius, is of special power at this time and the day of opportunity is therefore great. It is one
of the agencies which make the coming of the Great Lord a possibility.”4

The polar opposite signs of the zodiac are important for all human evolution, they can be seen as six pairs of signs
through which duality or the pairs of opposites are resolved upon the astral and mental planes. Hence the importance
of Leo-Aquarius, the sign Leo being invoked powerfully as the Aquarian Age begins – particularly as a large proportion
of Humanity are emerging from the mass consciousness of Cancer into the more individualised and self-aware
consciousness of Leo:

“Leo is the sign wherein the consciousness of individuality is developed, utilised


and finally consecrated to divine purpose. It is related to Polaris, the Pole Star
(found in the Little Bear) and it is also peculiarly susceptible to the influence of
that Pointer in the Great Bear which is the nearest to the Pole Star [Dubhe].
Esoterically speaking, the Pole Star is regarded as the “star of re-orientation”
whereby the art of “refacing and recovering that which is lost” is developed.
This eventually brings a man back to his originating source.

It might, therefore, be correctly inferred that this Pointer and the energy
emanating from it guides humanity upon the involutionary path, and is
constantly active in its influence upon the man who is still upon the Mutable
Cross. Then the energy of the Pointer furthest from the Pole Star [Merak]
begins to make its presence felt and a sense of right direction or guidance is
registered by the disciple upon the Path, and such guidance (when followed)
leads man nearer to the Hierarchy.

It is here that the divine necessity of achieving alignment is portrayed for us in


the symbolism of the sky and when it has been achieved then there is a direct
inflow of divine energy and man is linked up in a new and creative manner to
sources of divine supply. Astrologers will do well (in connection with the horoscopes of disciples and particularly of
initiates) to consider the two Pointers and the Pole Star. They are mysteriously connected with the three aspects of
incarnated man—Spirit, soul and body.”5

For those who might want to find where these points are in the horoscope: In the tropical Western zodiac, Polaris is at
28° Gemini 54’. The Pointer furthest from the Pole Star is Merak at 19° Leo 26’.. The pointer closest to Polaris is
Dubhe at 15° Leo 32’.
