While Aquarius is already a few days old, (January 20-February 18) today is the Chinese New Year, the year of the Water Dragon.
Aquarius is called the “Water Bearer” even though it is an air sign. But the reason for this is that Aquarius’s water is actually the sparking water of knowledge that refreshes, Or the froth of ideology.
There is also an old metaphysical term called “chemicalization”. This means that things often get very agitated as the end of the old nears. In other words, outdated things need a “last stand” before they go away. That’s also Aquarius’s job, creating that very chemicalization so that the past can truly go away.
Aquarius virtues are inclusiveness, innovation, independence and a love for technology.
Aquarius vices are: ideological rigidness, cult mentality. Ideas over people, or inspite of what happens to them. Eugenics. Communism are two examples of ideas that were pursued despite all of the harm in a cause of an ideal.

And speaking of Aquarius, have we entered the Age of Aquarius yet? Ages are more like seasons: while there may be a point where it officially so, the transition on both sides is considerable. Leaves begin to change in late August, and blooms sprout in early March, and so it is with Ages and their manifestation. I say we will get there in a century, as the old racial-sexual-social barriers erode and the world is finally massively literate and connected. But there’s a lot of work ahead-wiring the world and then entering places not now in the conversation and communication in. It hasn’t and won’t be an easy path to get there. It means a massive rise in living standards in a lot of places that haven’t had it. It means massive investments in infrastructure, in running water, in teachers and arable land and far less in the toys of conquest. So things will get better. But it will be a bumpy ride to get there. And in this month, we get to see some of the future.
Xin Nian Kuai Le..Happy New Year. Happy Aquarius.
