Esoteric Interpretation of the Signs

Scorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces

Aquarius

Aquarius is the sign of universalism, group-work and service. This service can extend
all the way from service to humanity to the service of the desires of the little self,
the selfish aspect in us. In addition, Aquarius often signifies a longing for group-work
that expresses itself as an interest in political and social issues. Since it is an air
sign Aquarius is more inclined towards intellectual than emotional pursuits and thus
its influence is often manifest as an interest in science.

Aquarius is a sign in which you learn to think in terms of lofty ideas and universalism.
Aquarius has to learn to work in a group, and to understand what it means to be a true
servant. The mature Aquarius is both an universalist and an individualist. It creates a
longing for freedom, a freedom that seeks to eliminate all borders between people.
Freedom, group-work, service, altruism and universalism can be said to be the keywords of Aquarius.

The lower aspect of group-work is egoism. This can be both individual egoism and group-egoism. Group-egoism is the result of living within a small circle and not allowing your love reach out to those who work in any community other than your own. It reveals an attitude that divides the world into we and them.

The mature Aquarius takes all she has and puts it in her waterspout. When she comes upon someone in need she takes from her store and gives freely. Aquarius is often depicted as a man pouring water from a pot. This water is a symbol for the universal love that he gives freely on demand, in response to the needs of others. In it’s higher aspect Aquarius signifies brotherhood, the disposition to regard every human being one meets as a brother or sister in need of help and love.
