This is Moon Day on the old Gregorian calendar and the 24th day in Grael lunar cycle ~ Days of the Earth Dragon. "Learn to make only promises you are able and willing to keep."
The Sun enters the zodiac sign of Aquarius today. Aquarius is one of the Air signs indicating thought, intellect and communication. It is also one of the Fixed signs bringing strong reactions to stimulus but also stability, reliability and a certain amount of stubborness.
Those born under this Sun sign are generally intense, self-expressive, progressive, spontaneous, communicative and energetic. The typical Aquarian has strong feelings and embraces humanitarian causes. They will put a lot of energy into a cause but may allow their opinions to blind them to the truth. They are generally intelligent, intuitive and full of ideas. They work well with technology and things science based. While usually faithful their detached manner and independent nature can lead to misunderstandings. On the negative side they can also be eccentric, contrary, tactless and erratic.
For Aquarians this period is one where both their strengths and weaknesses will be heightened, so they need to be careful to focus on putting their positive aspects to the fore. For them this is not the best of times to be working too closely with new people. They also need to be aware of the need to nurture their relationships and not to appear too distant or self-sufficient. Non-Aquarians will find this a good period for matters of the mind; thought, study and learning new things, and also for communication. It is a good time for project which involve helping others.
[From Kate West's "The Real Witches' Year"]
The Sun moves into the sign of Aquarius today! People born under the sign of the Water Bearer are fiercely proud of their idiosyncrasies. While they have a reputation for sometimes being unfeeling, hyper-intellectual, Mr. Spock types, they are highly sensitive souls who care deeply about the people around them.
As astrologer Jon Cainer notes, “It’s because they are so inwardly vulnerable, that they hide their feelings behind a mask of indifference. They fear that if they ever let it slip, they may never restore it.”
Aquarians are humanitarians that want to make the world a better place in which to live through their revolutionary thoughts and ideas. They are creative, innovative, original, progressive thinkers - in short, they are visionaries. They have a keen intellect and an ability to think “out of the box.” While broadminded, Aquarians can be stubborn in their opinions and can get impatient with those who disagree with them.
Aquarians are also very sociable and tend to have many friends and acquaintances. They relish their reputation as nonconformists and eccentrics. Aquarians usually have excellent judgment, but to be successful, their challenge is to follow through, and act on their insights.
