Aquarius' two key
planets are rule-bound Saturn and rebellious
Uranus. This year, as fast as Saturn can place
obstacles in your path, Uranus comes to the
rescue with sudden breakthroughs that allow you
to move your life in a successful direction.
When Saturn was in your sign from 1991 through
1993, you undertook the task of putting your
life on track. Now, half a Saturn cycle later,
Aquarius can look back at the choices you
made in the early 1990s to reevaluate your
current accomplishments and defeats. The
garden you planted has grown, but you must work
hard during the harvest just to keep up with all
the chores.
Chiron the
Wounded Healer continues to move through
Aquarius this year. Although Chiron can remind
you of your physical mortality, raise a variety
of health issues, and stir up memories of an
emotional trauma, it also provides a tremendous
potential for healing the body, mind and
spirit.When fortunate Jupiter sextiles Chiron on
May 30 and September 7, you have the wisdom
to make changes in your life that can bring you
closer to happiness. You can also be an
important mentor to someone who needs your
guidance.
Perhaps the most important astrological event
this year is the long-lasting opposition between
serious Saturn, now moving through your 7th
House of Partnerships, and dreamy Neptune,
halfway through its fourteen-year journey
through Aquarius. This sometimes enlightening
and sometimes discouraging opposition began last
summer as tensions surfaced between your
fantasies and the realities of your everyday
life. And although Jupiter's trine to Saturn
throughout the year can add stability to your
individual relationships and your interactions
with the community, Neptune's dissipating action
thwarts Saturn's attempt to crystallize your
dreams, especially around February 28 and June
25. You struggle to understand what is
important versus what is not, while Neptune puts
a confusing soft focus on your lens of life.
Your most concrete goals remain just out of
reach until July, when this aspect begins to
wane. Instead of setting yourself up for
disappointment by building your foundation on
shaky ground, perhaps wait until later in the
year to make the most significant decisions.
Meanwhile,
unpredictable Uranus in your 2nd House of Self-Worth
forms three squares -- on Jan. 22, May 10, and
Oct. 9 -- with optimistic Jupiter, now in your
11th House of Friends, Hopes and Wishes.
These squares can surprise you with good news as
well as bad, with respect to your bank account
and also relative to your own core values.
The socially oriented 11th House is the home
base of Aquarius' chart; Jupiter's presence here
throughout 2007 expands your connection to your
community while increasing the benefits you
receive from being part of a larger group.
Hopeful Jupiter's squares with brilliant Uranus
elevate your spirit, increase your self-confidence,
and show you ways to overcome the sometimes
repressive heaviness of Saturn.
