Astrology: Aquarius-Leo - Why Your Ego Matters Inside New Age (II)

By Graham Flynn


In component 1 we discussed Nietzches' three stages of consciousness: the Camel, the Lion and also the Child.

If we seem close to at our world today there's a important variety of individuals who are indeed waking up and walking their own individualized spiritual path, but you will discover an even greater variety of "Camels," who still follow the herd, follow the group, desire to belong, be in a gang, go and also the family, "toe the Corporate line," desire to "fit in," not "make waves," follow the newest fashion, drop out and use drugs, alcohol, TV and numerous forms of Piscean-type escapism.

The polarity of Aquarius' opposite sign, Leo, is needed, for Leo brings with it the path of Self-Realization. It takes a Lion's heart and courage to begin our inner journey to Self-realization. If we polarize too far on the Aquarian extreme, we run the risk of generating "humanity" - a utopian ideal on the collective - a lot more important than the individuals within it. This is after ecological idealism becomes imposed on persons rather than structures which help persons in developing their self-awareness. Indeed this is where communism went wrong.

Our present-day experience of Communism is an illustration of as soon as the ideal Aquarian group utopia is implemented before persons are ready. Camels can't do it, and the result is often a faceless collective where individualism is suppressed. Individuality is squashed and folks are not allowed to generate waves. This is exactly where our lovely Leo will stand up and roar: What about ME? There is a genuine Self and also a false Self, and it's Leo's work to figure out that's which, by exploring the Self.

The Aquarian Age may be the "new age" that we are entering. We are on the cusp of that age now as we leave the Piscean age that began in AD 1. Each age lasts approximately 2,160 years*. Esoteric Astrology tells us that during this new age we will every experience our very own Soul. This is going to be a gradual method and not a sudden, blinding revelation. It is essential to note that we are not inside Aquarian Age yet; we are still from the Piscean Age, but over a cusp. So our minds are still fogged by the illusion, fear, and confusion of lower Piscean consciousness.

Every person matters. Every Lion who has the courage to stand up and pick an individualized path, who breaks free inside old patterns of "tribal thinking," will make a difference - particularly once those folks have begun to walk the path of their very own inner truth. Take into account some of the most "radical" individuals of our age: Nelson Mandela, and most recently Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi. Individuals who stood alone and stood out had been persecuted for it, and yet on the very own level radiate such warmth, love and peace. It is via this sort of heart-centred and courageous folks how the Aquarian dream of equality and humanitarianism will be realized from the Aquarian Age.

Our collective spiritual awakening is going to be a gradual technique that will eat place over the next 2,200 years. The Age of Aquarius will bring "mystic revelations and the mind's real liberation" (just as the song said!). But we aren't there yet. We require a bridge, and Soul Astrology is also just such a bridge for people who resonate with it.

Soul Astrology will be the Astrology of our inner journey. It supports men and women in waking up and embarking upon their personal unique spiritual path. It's a bridge among the old world and also the new age. It allows us to read a natal chart from a conventional perspective and from a spiritual perspective. It's a vehicle which can ferry us across the river on our journey to higher consciousness.
