Aquarius 14: A train entering a tunnel

"A train entering a tunnel" 14 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 6:03 AM EST Feb 2 (11: 03 AM GMT, Feb 2)

 

 

Theme: Labour begins

 

Inspiration: "Call the midwife, Mama! This baby is on his way".

 

Today: Good day for announcements, declarations of something new being introduced to the world, and for voicing firm decisions regarding that which "I will not do any further".

 

The train entering a tunnel is associated with the start of the birthing process. It is analogous to the force of nature that begins to wiggle its way free of a tight confined space. Before breaking into a world of open liberating space, however, there is a period of passing through the tunnel.

 

The yogic motion is wiggle waggle. The mindful regard suggested is that of keeping the eye on the ball… a kind of tunnel vision… powered by deep resolve for the long journey.

 

It is said that in the experience of leaving the physical body of this world, a tunnel of light guides the way. It is also said that the beauty, love and joy experienced in that light transcends all understanding of earthly woes and cares. And while this seems to be a futural consideration, it is now.

 

Aquarius 13: A barometer

"A barometer" 13 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 6:24 AM EST Feb 1 (11: 24 AM GMT, Feb 1)

 

 

Theme: Gauge

 

Inspiration: A barometer is actually a predictive instrument that measures air pressure changes and mimics Grandpa's weather-predicting trick knee.

 

Today: Gauging the atmosphere characterizes the day.

 

Good day for creative, and/or steamy systems of intimacy that move into your region.

 

In all affairs, your instrument for gauging the right course lies in the jaw and neck area of the body. If tense, not likely the right way to go. If relaxed and loose, fair sailing.

 

Tension is so often nature's way of saying, "Stay home", "Don't do it", "Wrong turn".  We could well appreciate tension as being as reliable as a barometer. 

 

Therefore, if you find yourself uptight about some decision… especially tension in the jaw, consider shaking off your plans and woes.

 

Aquarius 12: People on stairs graduated upwards

"People on stairs graduated upwards" 12 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 6:45 AM EST Jan 31 (11: 45 AM GMT, Jan 31)

 

 

Theme: Spiral ascent

 

Inspiration: Although not everyone is on the same stage of growth and development, everyone is in growth and development.

 

Today: Behind the scenes of everyday conscious experience, a major organization energy has been at work for at least a month. Call it a time period of super alignment available for all… experienced with awareness by some.

 

It is as if, higher powers or light energies have been soothing, combing and aligning human consciousness on a collective scale. Of course, we do not recognize in immediate awareness that this is so, but some are somehow aware. 

 

Imagine a spiral staircase. See yourself gradually, smoothly being escalated higher. It is the spiral motion that plies the waves today.

 

Watch for people who nod their heads thoughtfully. Listen for ideas or communications that seem to be born out of nowhere. 

 

And if a breeze is blowing, tilt your head slightly and imagine spiral swirling energy of wind opening the way to what you desire.

 

Aquarius 11: Man tête-à-tête with his inspiration

"Man tete-a-tete with his inspiration" 11 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 7:07 AM EST Jan 30 (12:07 PM GMT, Jan 30)

 

 

Theme: Insight

 

Inspiration: The meeting of the minds: when two individuals get their heads creatively together; when an individual has his own meeting of the minds… consciousness and super-consciousness.

 

Today: Somedays, one flows beautifully, naturally, as if the right thing to say and do is immediately there without reflection, doubt or engineered effort.

 

Imagine a column of light rising from you to a higher source of knowing. When such a connection is there, it seems so natural, so easy and familiar, it does not seem extraordinary at all. 

 

Everyone has intuitive capabilities. Some are adept with sixth sense inspiration, others are hit and miss. Today, the flow is open and pure. 

 

Great day for family dinners, for psychic impressions, for recalling ancestors and feeling deeply aligned with super-conscious matters.

 

Today, spirit is a lightness of mind experience. Be alert and enjoy. 

 

AQuarius 10: A popularity that proves ephemeral

 "A popularity that proves ephemeral" 10 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 7:30 AM EST Jan 29 (12:30 PM GMT, Jan 29)

 

Theme: Transience

 

Inspiration: For as you walk through this world, your higher self walks with you. Cast a point far ahead and go meet yourself there.

 

Today:Visualize a point representing where you are. Imagine at this point, something triggers inspiration and excitement. Immediately expectations shoot like a peak of fireworks in expectations.

 

Then a valley of disillusionment brings you down near to where you started from, followed by the slow ascent of integrating and working on what has been seen. 

 

With perseverance, a plateau of constructive, natural, well-integrated ways of being in the world levels off somewhere between the initial trigger and the peak of expectation.

 

Popularity works like this: You get an idea for a song; it hits the top of the charts; then it disappears from the public's mind; gradually, if it is a good song, it climbs to a natural place of continuation.

 

The process of proving in human growth and development also unfolds in this way. Insight fires rockets of enlightenment projection, then everydayness pops the bubble. The keys to the garden lie in working on what has been seen.

 

Aquarius 9: A flag turned into an eagle

"A flag turned into an eagle" 9 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 7:53 AM EST Jan 28 (12:53 PM GMT, Jan 28)

 

 

Theme: Vivify

 

Inspiration: It was such a good song, even the tables and chairs began to dance around.

 

Today: Imagine an infusion of life, excitement and expressiveness.

 

Perhaps something has been lying dormant, inanimate or left in pale half-tones of representation. Now, vivifying life breath infuses these… things… and a flag turns into an eagle.

 

Listen for dramatic pronouncements today. "I've had enough! Been waiting to do this months, for years. Today is the day"

 

Today, the eagle may sink its talons into you. Remember, the more you struggle, the more tension and pain results. However, most will find new meaning in something, even within something known for many years. It can all come to life, in mind, body and spirit.

 

Practitioners of yoga, meditation, visualization and miracle intention may delight in their animated experience.

 

Aquarius 8: Beautifully gowned wax figures

 "Beautifully gowned wax figures" 8 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 8:16 AM EST Jan 27 (1:16 PM GMT, Jan 27)

 

 

Theme: Shapely

 

Inspiration: Fashion models strike a pose, strut their stuff, invoking notice and goodness knows.

 

Today: Nicknamed the 'mannequin' degree, beautifully gowned wax figures manifest oodles of style, shapely presentation, and draping, flowing charms.

 

Use today's energies to shape matters in pleasing and attractive ways. There are deep sensitivities about renewal, re-shaping, rejuvenating natural beauty and style.

 

Some may shop for a new outfit; some may accessorize for a new look; some may have their hair cut and styled: there does not have to be anything merely cosmetic about this, nor must it be profound. 

 

If you are going out tonight, do it up right. Pull out that daring little number that you have left in closet until the right time arises. If you are restarting your workout regime, the day is suitable to loosen up in supple elegant ways.

 

Style is the motion and poise of spirit expressed lithely along the promenade.

 

Aquarius 7: A child born of an eggshell

"A child born of an eggshell" 7 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 8:40 AM EST Jan 26 (1:40 PM GMT, Jan 26)

 

 

Theme: Self-made

 

Inspiration: The Sun rises like a golden orb within, promising something new to be hatched.

 

Today: Watch for moments when disappointed, even slight disappoint, regarding the failure for something or someone to deliver.

 

It is like a story that fails to satisfy, an awareness that the cup is no where near full. If this moment arises for you, look within. 

 

Deeply sensitive emotional energy today is self-generating. That means, if you are looking outwardly, looking to someone else, you may miss the sun rising within you, which today is the true source of creativity and fulfillment.

 

Excellent day to incubate new ideas, plans and dreams. Excellent day for lovers to embrace so tenderly as to defy description. Great day to renew your love… with tenderness again.

 

Even those alone can enjoy the flow of tender love and affection. You might say, loving kindness towards oneself is the birth of love expressed, given and received.

 

Aquarius 6: A performance of a mystery play

"A performance of a mystery play" 6 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 9:04 AM EST Jan 24 (2:04 PM GMT, Jan 24)

 

 

Theme: Re-telling

 

Inspiration: You might become tired of hearing the same old story, but then, its such damn good story!

 

Today: The mystery plays are old stories told and performed over and over again throughout the ages. They endure because we all resonate somehow, and at sometime, with their theme.

 

If an old story echoes within today, take some time to still your mind and ponder. It could be a memory. It could be tales of Orpheus or Psyche, Guinevere and Arthur, or two white elephants on the slopes of Sikkim.

 

Feeling sensitivities guide the day. Isolde's love song enchants ten thousand Tristans now and before. The trick is to hear your song and story resonating with a cast of thousands who have gone before. 

 

If you cannot find the beauty in your story, you will feel all alone. But if, within the amphitheatre of time and life, you hear the echoed voices of a good story re-told… therein lies the gold.

 

Aquarius 5: A council of ancestors

"A council of ancestors" 5 Aquarius

 

This symbol is illuminated 9:53 AM EST Jan 23 (2:53 PM GMT, Jan 23)

 

 

Theme: Guidance

 

Inspiration: Consider 'caring' to be invisible arms of loving energy that hold you safe even after jumping from a high cliff.

 

Today: The council of ancestors alerts the mind to those who have gone before us, setting experience, tradition and precedence as one would set markers on a trail for those who follow.

 

The world quivers and reverberates as if a distant tribe from beyonds the hills are beating their drums in a tribal ceremony. Pause for a moment. Feel the pulsing deeply within, deeply, sensitively without.

 

Orientation may not be easy or logical, but the felt rhythm and vibration is strangely familiar. The compass points north. Your GPS says to turn right in 300 meters. But somehow these useful reference guides seem inadequate today.

 

Through the ocean waters, a whale's song can be heard from a hundred miles. Today, treat your world like that… a liquid conductor of information and news from an ancestral song.
