Leaky Vessel - (Uranus, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius 2009)

The symbol we know for Aquarius is that of a male pouring what appears to be water out of a large vessel. This is also the symbol we see in the Tarot on the Major Arcana card, The Star.

The traits we commonly associate with Aquarius are general friendliness and humanitarian disposition, honesty and loyalty, originality and inventiveness, independence and a strong intellectual, intractability and contrariness, perversity and stubbornness, an unpredictable nature, and  strong ability to be outwardly unemotional/aloof and detached.


Aquarius people are folks we normally experience as rather consistent in their behaviors (despite the unpredictability at time...which is usually evident when they are trying to shock or impress you). 


But that will all change in 2009 with the gang pile of Uranus, Neptune and Chiron in this sign. Uranus, taking 7 years to transit the sign, is bringing unusual circumstances and people into the lives of Aquarians. Neptune, taking 14 years to transit the sign, is dissolving the world as Aquarian know it and the choice will be to see through to a higher spiritual plane or live in delusion and lies. Chiron, taking about seven years in Aquarius, is showing these people all the "old tapes" they have in their lives about individual vs group and how they want to be unique in this world, without letting ego run rampant.


The years 2009 and 2010 will not be easy for Aquarius folks who are not accustomed to doing hard work on themselves. Those who have previously gotten through on magnetic charm and superficial relationships with people will find it all coming to a crashing halt. Family, friend and work relationships simply will not move forward and there will be dramatic explosions until true, authentic, full openness, the openness promised by the flow from the vessel, will be required.


If it is not forthcoming, the vessel will leak. Lies, inauthentic connections, disingenuous behavior, selfishness -- it will leak out of that vessel in cracks that cannot be sealed. In plain language, they will be exposed.


This all also applies to with world in general. Humanitarian actions had better be true or they will get exposed as lies at a rate faster than anyone has seen in previous times. People who count on beautiful appearances to turn heads away from the ugliness of their behavior will find themselves in the spotlight with all their flaw exposed. It won't be pretty.


Let's see what happens, and if you want to make any personal notes about your experiences as an Aquarius person, or in being close to someone with a Sun, Moon, Saturn, Chiron or Ascendant in Aquarius, please do post!
