Title: Aquarius Full Moon
1Aquarius Full Moon
2All is Energy!
For those of you who are not familiar with
esoteric philosophy or do not know it well I
will remind you that all is energy. Thus you
should simply relax and try to feel the energy
rather then concern yourself with understanding
everything.
During the lecture you can ask questions or make
comments. After the meditation you may also ask
questions.

4The Sign of Aquarius
5Which sign is the Sun in?
And which sign is the Moon in?
The Moon is in Leo.
6Why else?
Presently Neptune is in Aquarius, having moved in
on January 28, 1998. The last period of Neptune
in Aquarius was 1834-1848so its actually
unlikely you have Neptune in Aquarius.
Can anyone remember what was happening in Europe
during this period?
7Romanticism!
This period witnessed the rise of Romanticism, a
reaction against the conventions and restraints
of classicism. It was the dominant note in the
artistic and intellectual life of Europe.
Aquarius promotes the concept of society in
general, but with Neptunes influence, this
concept was dissolved and completely reversed as
Romanticism emphasized the glorification of the
individual against society as a whole.
Yes, its Aquarius.
And does anyone know the Ascendant of President
Obama?
8What mode isAquarius associated with?
9stability or firm and dependable
Fixed
10What do we know about theFixed mode?
fixed signs are concerned with maintaining
something, changing things so they are the same
as before
Aquarius wants to keep their beliefs, etc
concerning humanity fixed.
11What element isAquarius associated with?
12Air
13What do we know about Air?
language, logic, communication and transport
linking
14 logic links ideas, language links words,
transport links places, and words link to
ideas.
linking
In order to link ideas together, we need to use
abstraction or generalization to some degree. So
like fire, air can be abstract, although because
it is closer to the earth, it is less "up in the
sky" than fire (although it is "up in the air",
and abstract sometimes)
15Air people are concerned with -
thought, ideas and intellect.
- They are detached and objective. They can be
versatile and agile in communications. But they
might not accomplish their promises or goals
unless they are grounded in earth. They are the
theory people in the theory versus practice
debate.
16So what happens when we put the mode of fixed
together with the element of air?
17What do we know about Aquarius?
- Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac.
- As the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius
represents the eleventh stage in the evolution of
man and his place in the universe. - In Aquarius, the individuality of man so
carefully nurtured in Leo, now becomes part of
the greater spectrum of society as a whole.
18What else about Aquarius?
- Aquarians are stubborn and resist changing their
opinions or accepting new ideas that they do not
like or with which they do not agree. Big changes
in life are accepted as a challenge, but small
changes that throw off their plans are not
tolerated very well.
19Aquarians react
- to everything they experience in life with an
intellectual orientation. Before they take
physical action, before they assess the practical
worth of something, and before they sort out
their true emotions, they try to visualize it
objectively as a kind of mental exercise. In
relationships, their intellectual approach makes
them appear interested but not particularly
passionate or possessive. It does not necessarily
mean they really lack passion. When they do focus
their feelings, their passion can be as intense
as it is inspirational.
20Aquarius Astrological Symbol
- The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer,
symbolically and eternally giving life and
spiritual food to the world. The water from the
vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a
fresh, new start.
21Aquarius Constellation
22Aquarius Constellation
23Aquarius Astrological Glyph
?
- The glyph for Aquarius depicts the water from the
water bearers vessel, as a symbol of open-ended
spiritual energy. Two wavy lines - waves, of
water, or the vibrationary waves of electricity
parallel lines of force.
24The Aquarius Myth
25This myth contains many themes which are
profoundly important to the deepest meaning of
Aquarius.
- The noble impulse
- His payment
- To Aquarius, knowledge is always superior to
blind faith. Aquarius has no room for
superstitious devotion and he also has no
patience for unexplained authority. To him, all
individuals at the end should be their own
ultimate judges. And he will, if necessary, defy
the gods to obtain their secrets.
26A second myth
Pandora, who opens the forbidden box and releases
the entire array of human ills and sufferings,
along with Hope.
with Aquarius there is always hope, for he has
a deep and ingrained faith in human potential and
human nature.
27Well now mention some of the challenges of
Aquarius. Remember though we are talking about
the energy of Aquarius and there are many types
of energy.

31The Exoteric Ruler is Saturnwith Uranus as
sub-ruler
Both will provide the know how to bring an
abstract vision into reality.
Uranus gives innate spontaneous activity and this
produces evolutionary developmentboth natural
and spiritual. It is the urge to better
conditions.
Saturn is the planet which conditions primarily
the point in evolution where choice definitely
becomes possible, where rejection of opportunity
or its acceptance can consciously be undertaken,
and the shouldering of personal responsibility
becomes a recognized fact in a planned and
ordered life.
32Uranus as sub-ruler
The need of the personality for freedom without
responsibility has to be refused rejected,
ones goal is freedom with responsibility.
It is this planet which symbolizes the strong
drive in Aquarius to find freedom, to pierce the
veil of the mysteries, to shatter hidebound
structures.
We have to bypass old thinking, to step out of
mass thinking.
33The Esoteric Ruler is Jupiter
Jupiters primary purpose is one of fusion.
Jupiter works to create the ultimate synthesis in
order to exteriorize universal harmony and
abundance.
34Aquarius - Ray 5
To serve humanity is to love humanity, to be part
of society, whether it is political, religious or
the cultural sphere or field.
- Aquarius transmits ray 5, which stimulate science
both exoterically and esoterically. Ray 5 will
also develop the ability to understand the
esoteric, the spiritual in this age.
Aquarius is a symbol of world service, world
service is a word for service for humanity the
goal for spiritual beings, to carry the water of
life to humanity.
35The Labours of Hercules
36The Labour in Aquarius
- In Aquarius the task it is a dreadfully
unpleasant one! Hercules is asked to clean out
the stables of King Augeasstables filled with
the horrid stench of cattle dung accumulated
over a great many years. The unsanitary
conditions are making the people of the kingdom
ill.
37The Labour in Aquarius
- The King cannot believe that Hercules is offering
to do this work without reward and thinks it is a
plot to take his throne but Hercules is
motivated by selfless service. For this is what
we learn in the sign of Aquarius, how to truly
serve. The gift of Aquarius is the discovery that
true service is the spontaneous outflow of the
loving heart.
38Hercules completes his task
- Hercules thinks long and hard about how to
perform this feat
39Hercules completes his task
- before coming to a rather innovative solution
He sees that there are two rivers running nearby,
so he breaks a hole through one of the walls of
the stables and diverts both rivers through it.
The water cleans everything out.
40Cleaning of Stables
- The cleaning of the stables. Interestingly it was
in a stable that the Christ child was born and
Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) is known as the
Christ, the Savior of the Piscean Age. However we
are on the cusp of the new Age of Aquarius, so it
would benefit us to update our archetype of the
world Savior.
41Spiritual Adulthood
- In our spiritual adulthood are we still looking
around for someone to save us? Or can we
recognize our brotherhood with all humanity and
learn to serve each other? We must beware too
that all too often our concept of ourselves as a
server of others degenerates into a kind of
martyrdom. Have you ever (metaphorically) cleaned
the stables for nothing just so that you can
feel appropriately unappreciated?

45Why are we here tonight?
The time of the full moon there is a direct
alignment between the energy of the sign the sun
is in and the affairs of the sign the moon is in.
Sun Aquarius sense of universality
Moon Leo expands selfhood into grouphood
In our meditation this evening, let us visualize
a common goal for humanity. Groups of men and
women of goodwill bonding together to support
right-human values. Let us use our magical powers
of manifestation, and see this happen. Leaders
and ordinary people alike, afire with goodwill
and humanitarian vision, acting in concert for
the good of mankind as a whole.
46Seed Thought for Aquarius
- Water of life I am, poured forth for thirsty men.
