by Overcoming oneself
The astrological sign of Aquarius, spanning from 20 January to 19 February, designates the second phase of winter in seasonal symbolism. During this time, the land continues to display its frigid nature, while the appearance of nature becomes increasingly barren. However, despite this, the seed beneath the snow begins to open up, allowing the assimilation of the surrounding nutrients and starting the process of biochemical osmosis with the fertile humus.
The individual born under the zodiac sign of Aquarius exhibits a universalistic nature akin to the seasonal phase. This trait starkly contrasts the selfish values of the opposing sign, Leo. The Aquarius-born person seeks to transcend individuality and embrace inter-human communication through collective experiences. This inclination towards group participation is comparable to the seed, which relies on communion with the earth’s nourishment to ensure its survival. In essence, the Aquarian personality prioritises community engagement over self-centred endeavours.
Classification
Physical type
Aquarian logic, in its physical manifestation, embodies a spirit of adventure and a universal pursuit of all things unconventional, eccentric, and revolutionary. It is characterised by a Promethean drive towards absolute freedom through existential improvisation.
Astral type
The astral personality type is characterised by a cerebral disposition that appears to be detached from earthly occurrences. Such individuals tend to rely heavily on inventive and ingenious imagination, mainly applied to contemporary technical concepts.
Spiritual type
The individual who embodies a spiritual inclination has achieved the ultimate objective of the Aquarius sign – the gift of one’s individuality in the joy of spiritual fulfilment. This state of being facilitates a communion that transcends the personal and extends to encompass humanity’s cosmic and universal requirements. This is achieved through selflessness, culminating in a sense of brotherhood that unites all human beings.
