I am a western tropical astrologer, I use the whole house sign system, meaning your rising sign rules the entirety of your first house and every person has all 12 zodiac energies within them. I use the archetypal energies of the planets, the zodiacs, and history to create something similar to a weather forecast so that you can make plans and validate your emotions based on the kind of energy you are swimming in at this time.
Of course, I can only give generic forecasts without looking at your unique individual chart.
If you want a more personalized energy forecast or reading, I offer various readings here.
On August 19, 2024, we have a Full Moon in Aquarius at 11:25 AM Pacific Time. The Moon will be at 27 degrees, 14 minutes of Aquarius.
Aquarius is the Rebel of the zodiac.
Rebels, like Aquarians, are often misunderstood.
Think of it this way: Aquarian energy tends to ruffle some feathers because Aquarians are hype focused on the future and what is going to be best for the good of all compared to a singular person or entity.
When you’re thinking about the future or suggesting changes that are light years ahead of where the world is socially, you can sometimes rub people the wrong way. Luckily Aquarians often have thick enough skin to keep pushing their visions forward and bringing them to fruition.
Aquarius is an air sign, not a water sign, which tricks some people because Aquarius is represented by the symbol of the water bearer, and even the zodiac symbol for Aquarius looks like waves, but alas it’s an air sign.
Air signs represent masculine energy, yang energy.
Those who are dominant in air sign energy may leave an impression as if you’re not necessarily being emotionally aware or sensitive. Perhaps they feel you rub them the wrong way because the energy of Aquarius can sometimes appear demanding, critical, much more logically based than emotionally intuitive, but again, it’s usually because they are working to bring some sort of social and humanitarian ideal into their reality.
Aquarius being an air sign really just speaks to Aquarians living in their heads, being curious about what’s around them, dreaming their world into reality, and really being more likely to try and solve disputes rather than taking sides.
This is an energy that is really about supporting social contracts and bonds, and although they may appear more logical than emotional, it’s often because they are holding this utopian dream world vision in their minds.
And if Aquarians were constantly changing their dream world based on their emotions, adjusting who is good, who is bad, you can see why it would be difficult to bring any sort of community to fruition.
The harshness of Aquarian energy is sometimes confusing even for Aquarians themselves because the water bearer energy is an energy that absorbs and collects the energy, the desires, the limiting beliefs of those around them.
Almost like an empath, there’s this innate ability to read the energy of the social community and determine what needs to be done, what needs to change, what needs to be released in order to bring more harmony, love, and peace to the planet.
Aquarians tend to be eccentric, spontaneous, and original.
And this is not just in how an Aquarian thinks, they tend to dress more eccentrically, wear brighter colors, perhaps pair together patterns or materials that you wouldn’t normally think go together, so sometimes Aquarian energy appears more confident than they really are.
Aquarius is a fixed, air sign, and the natural ruler of the 11th house of community and networking, so many Aquarians can sometimes come off as if they are very logical, scientific in thought, much more logical than they are emotional, but remember that’s just how they appear.
Under the surface, Aquarians are really not that conservative because they are so involved and constantly thinking about others and how to build more communities that work for everyone. So in that sense they are very social justice minded they’re just a little quieter, more reserved sometimes than other signs, including fellow air sign Gemini.
Part of the quiet nature of an Aquarian comes from having such an intuitive, imaginative, innovative world in their minds. These are people who tend to believe that everything will work out if they believe it will, if they get the right social groups together, so they are more inclined to take risks than other signs sometimes – but there has to be an end goal that serves more than just them usually.
