Aquarius rising, astrologer Jeanne Avery tells us, can be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries. He is the forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way.
My story begins in 1975 with my being at a jumping off place and forced to leap into the unknown. It was predicted by astrologers and numerologists. I cut from the herd. The first thing I did was to discover who I really was. After that discovery, it was natural to move into my path of destiny. All of my dreams have come true. I’m 35 years ahead of the hounds.
I was less than 50 miles to the southeast of Mt. St. Helens when she erupted on May 18, 1980. I was on my first date with Karen, my soul mate. Crater Lake, one of most beautiful places on the planet, was once the scene of a volcanic eruption 40 times as great as Mt. St. Helens’. I woke up this morning thinking about my sanctuary, Crater Lake. I lived close to Crater Lake and often went there to meditate.
All being said and done at this crucial time in mankind’s history, out of the chaos of our solar system came the beautiful water-planet Earth, as far as we know, the only planet in the solar system capable of supporting life as we know it. Newton’s laws of motion and Einstein’s relativity, notwithstanding, there had to be a reason. The physical universe is governed by immutable laws. “But these law leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind. Behind this selection is the will,” says my mentor, quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker. Before the physical universe, there had to be conscious awareness.
For a time, we are physical beings with advanced consciousness, in fact, the most conscious beings on the planet, and surely not by chance. We would not be the only such life form if it was by accident. There is no real argument: we may be physically descended from apes, but consciously aware of far more than any other life form, and for a reason. We were created with increasing purpose. Linked with the ages, from the beginning of our lives to our end in eternity, said St. Augustine, “distinguish the ages and the scriptures harmonize.”
Jesus said in the Lord’s Prayer, “in earth as it is in heaven,” but, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” The kingdom of God is to be distinguished from “in earth as it is in heaven.” The kingdom of God is conscious awareness of nature’s God, and the beauty and harmony in nature. It’s the here and now.
I’m sorry to have to deprive the religious of their pie in the sky, but in religion’s notion of the kingdom of God, man’s doing, we witness in the Middle-East the Jew’s god, the Muslim’s god, and the Christian’s god, all derived from Abraham’s god, and, unfortunately, for 5,000 years the three religions fighting holy wars for the pie in the sky—not a pretty picture, but what would you expect when you let man invent God?
This brings me to my point for discussion: the Egyptian uprising and the fear of the consequences. We’ve a lesson as old as the hills to be learned. We fear that radical Islam will hijack the revolution, fear the closing of the Suez Canal, fear the voiding of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. We cry out in anguish! The prayer of Habakkuk: “O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Yes, and as a consequence of all of these woes, Mubarak, lying fraud that he is, is given the excuse to circle the wagons and fight the revolution—and the truth. His thugs are brutally beating reporters. Yes, to be sure, we are all for democracy and freedom of choice, but we live in fear of the unknown. Roosevelt was wrong about most of what he advocated, but he was right about this: “We have only fear itself to fear.”
To the Egyptian revolutionaries: “Yet I will rejoice unto the LORD. I will joy in the God of my salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18). Keep the faith! Long live your freedom from oppression.
Linked with the ages, we are now moving from the Age of Pisces, whose symbol is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, into the Age of Aquarius, whose symbol is the water-bearer to humanity, water the elixir of life.
H. G. Wells, who wrote about the future, was Vigo with Aquarius rising. I’m Virgo with Aquarius rising. Astrologer Avery says I’m “a chance taker.” I know “where the fruit grows.” I’m “not one to hide my light under a bushel.” I’m writing the story of my life. It fits this crucial time like a hand in a glove.
