Aquarius
_AM: Are you ready for the Hero's first task?
_I: I guess... But... Why do we start with Aquarius and not Aries?
_AM: Get out of the box. Nothing is straight as it seems, nothing is structured, and even though there is a Human Path to follow this Path, it is not limiting.
_I: What is the way?
_AM: In the Terrestrial Sky, 88 Constellations have been called, that is, “Set of Stars” (“with-“= group, together / “stela”= star). They are grouped into the Circumpolar (both southern and northern), the Stationary, that is, those contemplated depending on the season of the year (spring, summer, autumn or winter), and the Tropical, visible between the two tropics. where the 12 constellations of the Zodiac are contemplated. The ancients saw that they were positioned at the top of Heaven at certain times of the year, marking the periods of terrestrial life. They knew the weather, the plants that would bloom, the rivers' flooding, the fruits to be harvested, the planting, the hunting, the best moments of construction, all thanks to interpreting the position of the tropical stars. The Moon marked the biorhythm of the world, and they ordered time based on lunar cycles, that is, 13 full moons in a complete year, which made 13 months of 28 days each in a Lunar calendar based on daily life. This calendar was incorporated into another one based on the cycles of the Earth around the Sun, which took 365 days, aligned with zodiacal processes, in 12 months of 30 days each plus 5 days outside of Time, used to adjust the time lag that Today you usually correct with leap years.
_I: The Zodiac helped divide the year, well…
_AM: Since the Sun was positioned in front of each zodiacal constellation for at least 30 days, completing the full cycle at 365 days. To identify these constellations, they used to imagine that they were animals that followed each other, which is why they called it the “Animal Path” (“Zoós” = animal, and “Diakós” = path).
_I: Although some were not animals...
_AM: Because the term Zoon does not refer to the animal as a creature separate from the human, but rather the animal as a being with an anima, that is, animated, with a soul, that moves, that has life. Zodiac would mean “That which is related to the images of Living Beings”.
_I: I understand.
_AM: This path is an annual journey, which speaks of a constant cycle that each living being must travel through time, which describes the processes of life, conflicts, tools and overcomings thereof, which allow us to recognize the past. and the future telling us how to navigate the present. The stars are not a guide to understand Heaven, but rather a map to know how to live on Earth, since they do not speak about what they impose on us, but about what happens to us when they are present.
_I: That is, it would be like, for example, if I go out for a walk every day, and I trip in exactly the same place in front of a bakery, I will relate the Bakery as the reason for my trip... And therefore I will give it to the Bakery the quality of conflicts on the road, and in its positive aspect being careful when walking...
_AM: That's right. The Constellation is the Bakery in front of which you have fallen, and which you relate to your carelessness.
_I: This would explain why each person experiences the same constellation very differently... Obviously there are many more agents fulfilling their roles, such as planets, houses, asteroids, and the astrological position of our birth that determines the gravity of our existence... But Why do they affect us equally, that is, why do Leonines, like any other sign, generally tend to be all similar in essence?
_AM: Because even though you think you are unique, in reality we are all one, we are all part of the same organism, and the stars are not outside of this. The gravitational pressure of millions of years is not intermittent, it is constant, and its movement is incessant, so the stars do not affect us because they move in the sky, but rather they affect us because we move through them, from their pressure, of the particles of light that have been reaching us constantly for millions of years. The Universe is a Continuum. The Universe is unity, and the only way to understand this is from the Void.
_I: Empty the mind of separating thoughts.
_AM: Cleanse the Augean Stables.
_I: The task of Hercules, to clean the excrement of the Cattle, for which he used the two rivers, displacing them from their channels, cleaning everything in his path...
_AM: A great feat, but very unhumble. The task represents the cleansing of all acquired ideas and beliefs, the cattle represent what has been gained in life, what has been acquired, what has become the individual's baggage. And everything that is known to be possessed becomes a belief. Cattle excrement represents the subconscious and all the impure layers of the mind. And Aquarius, although it represents the highest aspect of Air, is made up of the water bearer, the one who carries the vessel of water, pouring it into the fields to water the seeds. The Trinity of Air begins with Gemini in communication, continues through Libra in balance, and ends with Aquarius in expansion. Thus, Aquarius is the Ocean of the Mind, of the Void that contains all things in its thoughts. And in his beliefs, the mind stagnates, becomes dirty, because Aquarius is innovation, transformation, expansion, freedom, letting go, transcending. Therefore, it is its waters of dreams and new, free ideas that purify ideas stagnant in the corners of space.
_I: Aquarius hurts me.
_AM: It's clear, because it's your challenge.
_I: Whenever I met Aquarius people I felt abandoned, I felt distant, unloved, as if I didn't belong... Clearly it is my mirror, as a leonine, it is my perfect reflection that reminds me of my learning... Being free from all mission and law, of every kingdom, get out of the structures of the Box, flow, and in turn, learn that things can transform quickly, and nothing happens...
_AM: But he broke your heart...
_I: Again... Aquarius is this new time, and I have come to work for it, however, it represents that whole feeling of abandonment that terrifies me in my subconscious. Even though my soul or mind does not take it into account, my body feels that it has been abandoned many times, and just this week I have experienced that abandonment again by someone from Aquarius, something that has made me especially depressed. The Aquarian vision was very frivolous, as if even observing that my leonine posture only wanted to attract attention and control the situation, and yet, what I felt was abandonment.
_AM: And what is abandonment if not the need to be cared for, to have control of the emotion?
_I: Yes… I understand… But it hurts.
_AM: Transformation hurts, because in metamorphosis, your body changes. Can you accept that Aquarius has come to show you what you can't let go of about Leo?
_I: If I do it, what will my personality become? What is the purpose of having one if I must test myself almost in the form of punishment to learn to be like another? What is the point of being born as a Leo to rule myself as the center, if I am now required to learn to let go like Aquarius...?
_AM: When you are a son you must act like one. But one day you will become a father, and you will be a father. Have you stopped being Matías by going from being a son to a father?
_I: No…
_AM: Nor will you stop being you by accepting new attributes that you did not know how to manage before. If you decide to study Engineering, life will bring you engineers. If you decide to learn painting, life will bring you artists. And the fact of wanting to study or learn a technique, a career, does not imply that you stop being who you are, it implies that you will add tools to what you are, to better develop your potential. A Leonine without tools is a controlling and dictatorial despot. A Leonine with Aquarian tools knows that he is not the center, and although he recognizes that he occupies an important place, he will consider letting go of the weight and sharing responsibility with others.
_I: I understand... It's adding...
_AM: Moving on a path, traveling through countries, does not make you leave behind the place where you come from. Being now in Egypt does not make you Egyptian, but rather an Argentinian who adds the experience of living in Egypt. When you walk the zodiac path, you recognize that you must add experiences, not become them. Each step is an experience that amplifies your abilities to perceive the world. Aquarius has its good and bad things, like everything. Aquarian detachment and freedom can often be seen as abandonment and disinterest, apathy. Thus, the capacity for expansion also becomes dissipation and dispersion. The ease of connecting to the world of ideas makes the Aquarian prone to living by beliefs rather than feelings and actions. The Aquarian ability for innovation and resurrection can translate into an inability to sustain something over time and translate what you think into reality. Philosophers and Inventors by essence, in many cases they fail to manifest results of what they express. The lack of emotional connection and empathy makes them move easily towards the future, but not facing the past where they come from only makes them drag the unrecognizable traumas of their soul with them. Now, from Consciousness, what you have to achieve is to obtain the tools of Aquarius.
_I: Freedom, Detachment, Renewal…
_AM: Access the Law of Mentalism. You are in the Crown, in the irradiation of your divine mind, towards the Universal Void, where everything is possible. This is what your Leo must learn from Aquarius, he must open himself to the infinite possibilities and not cling to the expectations that he considers under his control.
_I: Let go of control of things…
_AM: Open the dams of cosmic water, release the rivers that purge your consciousness of all mental garbage, beliefs, ideas, preconceptions, prejudices... But you must do it with Humility.
_I: How do I do it?
_AM: Recognize why you have chosen them, that is, why you have held on to certain beliefs, to certain ideas of how things should be in your life. What are you hiding in your mind that is reflected in your outside world?
_I: The belief of abandonment lives in me, that the only way I learn quickly is when they leave me or I am left, family, friends, relationships, I feel that falling in love is part of a pattern that I need to move forward, and that is why I can never live love as a company but as a purpose.
_AM: Your great challenge in this life is to fall in love, but not with someone, but with yourself, with what you are and what you do, and only then will you be able to love, and that is why life brings you loves, falling in love that only reflect your lack of love for yourself and for what you are looking for…
_I: Ugh…
_AM: Leaving the purpose for love is the expression of letting go of the idea of falling in love to be able to truly love, since the greatest of purposes is the unity that humans conceive as falling in love. And you search for it, incessantly, like an ideology, and that is why the universe leads you to live experiences of this type, until you can find in love Aquarian freedom and not leonine control.
_I: That's why I attract the image of Aquarius again and again... That's why I work for an Era called Aquarius, the greatest of my challenges...
_AM: And it is found in the crown, because Aquarius is your new King, he is the King of the World, who has inherited the crown of the kingdom of his opposite, Leo, who is now found below at the feet.
_I: The Lion subjected to the Will of Aquarius…
_AM: Who does not subdue, but expands. You decide whether to see yourself involved in the Aquarian networks of thoughts, or connected to the expansive network of ideas.
_I: I feel that if I do not integrate, we integrate, the Aquarian visions of the cosmos, it will be difficult for us to shape a Conscious Network.
_AM: That is why it is your great challenge, to detach yourself from ideas, to cleanse preconceptions, to make the ocean of the mind cleanse your psychological impurities.
_I: How do I do the task?
_AM: Take a piece of paper, and write names of people to whom you are emotionally attached, with whom you have unhealed ties, prejudices and preconceptions. Dependency links, and you can see that they do not allow you to move forward. As if it were a labyrinth, connect them with colored lines, like a fabric, uniting those you relate to the same emotions. You can choose three colors and give each one a role: physical, emotional and mental, and match the people they represent at these levels.
_I: And once it's done, what do I do?
_AM: Take a deep breath, and cut it into pieces.
_I: Shall I break it?
_AM: The only thing you will do by doing this is giving your body the experience of recognizing that you have realized where the ties are, and that you are willing to transcend them. And when you have cut them into small pieces, you put them in water, watching how the water is responsible for discoloring the ink, taking away what you don't need. And when it has discolored enough, let the water go, and bury the scraps of paper.
_I: Clean the stables…
_AM: The task will be a beginning of putting this idea into action. Psychologically free yourself from the ties that keep you trapped in a network. Aquarius is your spiritual food, and the spirit is free, it has no ties, ties, ties. By doing this exercise, you will be feeding your spirit of freedom from your subconscious.
_I: To be someone new I must act like someone new.
_AM: Going from being a son to being a father, from being a daughter to being a mother... And recognizing that sons and daughters are free, that we have chosen the roles we have ourselves. Be free, you know well that you are...
_I: I know…
_AM: Free yourself and free others, so you will turn a network that traps into a network that connects.
_I: I am freedom, I am the vast universe of the cosmic mind.
_AM: Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.
