KosmicK & Kory Varlen: AQUARIUS

WHETHER YOU ARE a Celestial Water-Bearer by birth, have your Moon, Ascendant or ruling planet in this sign or have a ‘loaded’ Eleventh House in your chart, Aquarius is the sign of brotherhood and man’s humanity. It is the mythic marker of liberation and personal freedom. For all of us, somewhere, somehow a part of our life gets remodelled with the Sun’s passage here. Around January 19-20 until February 18-19 we all get a chance to experience the Aquarius force as it brings a chance to awaken to a better version of you. Somewhere in your daily life you will feel this because everybody has “Aquarius” somewhere in their astrological chart. When the Sun, our solar star, lights up this sector, you too light up and can partake in the dance of originality. Even if you are not a Heavenly Man by birth date, take a test drive on some of the qualities and suggestions below if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be an Aquarian.

BIRTHDAY WISDOM

JANUARY 2010–FEBRUARY 2011

20 January

I hope you’re ready for some fantastic new people, luck and general upbeat news around your financial life as the coming weeks and months are sparkled up and ready to deliver a new way of being in relationship to not only yourself but to the world. Sounds good to me and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re snuggled up to the one you love by year’s end.

21 January

Mystical and intellectual matters pull you out of yourself and show you the value of having an abundant imagination. A sympathetic and compassionate understanding of people will advance your entire life plan if you can align your ego to the cause of helping others to manifest their dreams. The down side is being taken advantage of so just look for clarity.

22 January

You’ve got the magic touch in the coming months as I see a successful execution of the use of an extraordinary physical or mental skill being put into action. Your karma will bring forth on the material plane what it is that you have been working towards and it revolves around your appreciation of beauty or an interest in the arts. Overall a very positive year.

23 January

A successful conclusion to years of building up a business, enterprise or completion of a scientific project. You have the gift of speech and somehow your voice will be instrumental in the mystical workings out of your life in the coming weeks and months. Perhaps a speech coach or singing lessons would be one way to up your game. Sound common sense prevails.

24 January

May passion be your muse as you confidently stride into the world, ready to take on whatever comes your way. Bravery, steadfastness and a commitment to ecological systems will stand you in very good company as you forge ahead through the coming storm of life’s many challenges. Develop a love of beauty in all its radiant and unfolding forms.

25 January

If you seek justice and especially justice in love, you will redefine your expression and idealization of isolation. You can afford to be generous and by the very act of generosity you will connect into a deep part of yourself that needs to be heard. There is nourishment all around you but the best lies within. This is the premiere year in which to establish your existence.

26 January

Birth in all its forms awaits as this year finds you in the flow and open to receive a sudden outpouring of happiness in love from the universal coffers. If art is a passion or an interest, prepare to be inspired as an artistic temperament is yours. For those of you in the field of writing, a wealth of ideas and a blossoming intellect guarantee success. Express yourself.

27 January

Sudden success and consolidation of power especially if your enterprise or business deals in art, beauty, the human form and how that plays out in the global marketplace. You’ll need to stay grounded, grateful and group oriented and value those who are helping you get ahead. Don’t even think of taking colleagues for granted or expect too much from others.

28 January

The coming months will find you expanding your capacity to grow in ways that will support your ability to generate more self-worth than you’ve ever experienced in your lifetime. It’s true that you’ve been on a path of exploration in the past decade but with that has come a lot of false starts and winding trails. All that is clearing up fast as the veils of illusion fall.

29 January

A robust year is ahead and it should be filled with family, friends, passion and a lively discourse with friends who will help you to realize just exactly what and where your heart’s desire lies. Partnerships and all one-on-one relationships and work are intertwined and together they make you powerful.

30 January

The year ahead will be one of the most important keys ever given to you so that you can finally discover what it is that you truly need or want. This fact finding mission will come with a price tag complete with resentment and hidden secrets but it will be worth the cost. Get ready to feel the feelings.

31 January

Good fellowship and a healthy sense of leadership drive you forward in the coming months. If you're a woman the stellar lineup favours you in finding a partner and it should be, by all accounts, a happy union. It's a year for reaping the harvest of past actions sown so what comes to you has a feel of destiny or karma in action.

1 February

Be careful in matters of love as there is a tendency to fall into love with an illusion rather than the real thing. If you find yourself moving too fast it's a sure sign it's moving into dangerous and false territory. And if it's true love it will be around in 2011. Just don't make anything 'official' for at least a year. Watch out for wastefulness.

2 February

I would err on the side of caution no matter how great is your talent or ability to outshine your competition. Hubris could be your downfall so just stick to basics and work within a closed system of stringent rules while entertaining your massive creativity to a select and discreet crowd of admirers. Inventiveness is the catchword.

3 February

You've been building a solid base for the last 8 years and now it's time to bring those dreams and plans into being. Creation in almost every form surrounds you and is in fact what you are meant to be doing in the coming months. Watch that you don't overstrain yourself but continue to hold your personal torch of independence high.

4 February

You're going to have to learn to ease up on all that managment and strategizing/control energy that you've grown accustomed to. It's time to relax, get into a zen state and learn to let go. Look at all the structure and need for control in your life and see how that's working for you. Relationships should be showing you this.

5 February

The year ahead will test your sense of balance in many ways as you seek out experiences with others to experience the revivifying elixir of change. You are prone to fall madly in and out of love as your realm of acquaintanceships expands exponentially. You're on the verge of jumping into your psychic self and that is going to be powerful.

6 February

By opening yourself up to being in partnership and working things out through more intense relationship dyads, you'll find yourself and many of your hidden strengths in the coming months. There's a lot of illusion, confusion and doubt that needs to get cleared up and if you can connect with your inner warrior you'll be just fine.

7 February

You're something of a wizard in the weeks and months ahead as you delve into your sources of power through an exploration of your creativity, intellectual capacity and ability to organize. Your nervous system benefits from homeopathic treatments. Sudden revelations in love are part of a new rhythm of enjoying the arts.

8 February

The year ahead looks very fluid but is in fact solid as a rock as you continue the process of deep internal integration that will revitalize you. You've seen the depth of the deceit and you know the nature of the illusion. Now it's time to draw the boundaries and declare yourself free of any abuse or patterns of neglect that have kept your power hidden.

9 February

The year ahead is best viewed from the middle, which means you're not at the beginning and you're not yet near the end. Take your time and live out your projects with craftsmanship. The best use of the year ahead is to take yourself in hand, as would Michaelangelo, and sculpt your body into a vision of art and beauty.

10 February

Your home and family need you and you need them. There is much to solve and much to forgive in the coming weeks and months and your intellect is now coming to terms with how you've backed yourself into a few corners in your time. But what you have learned from your losses and pain is that other options are now opening.

11 February

The rhythm of the dream time could be the most compelling and rewarding aspect of the entire year ahead, so strong is your inner vision becoming. Take on a political position and work on behalf of a greater humanitarian cause. If you do you'll find sudden and amazing connections and acquaintances popping up everywhere.

12 February

You've shed a lot of your false exteriors in the previous 7 years and now it's time to come forward with all the courage that you have to express your extraordinary power of love and attractionn. It's also an amazing year to have a child as your procreative power as at an all time high. Watch out for stressors in your love life as you can't solve everybody's issues.

13 February

Let what needs to leave your life leave because what stays is truly what you need to have. Don't second guess this process in terms of 'ANYTHING.' You've been building towards this year for almost a decade and it's time to claim your rewards. If you are a speaker or writer in any specialized field this year offers great success and attainment of public recognition.

14 February

This is the year to dream the biggest dream of your life and then some. Take every workshop, read every book, go to every seminar that you feel drawn to. Find your self and then claim your unique, precious, magical soul. Be the lover you pine for. Be the best friernd you ever had or wanted. This is a vision quest year that will never return again in this lifetime.

15 February

Take heart from yesteray's message as you too are on a mystical, magical path that, if followed, will spin your dreams into reality in the coming months, years and decades. This is such a moment in time that is truly remarkable and will not be repeated in this century. Your resources are fluid. Trust in your flexibility and flow.

16 February

It's a fascinating year ahead powered by your ever-expanding sense of social justice, spirituality and a new way of working with relationships and partnerships. Your baseline resources are also expanding as new and innovative ways of dealing with technology are going to assist you to find and define new streams of income.

17 February

Fire is your element all year as you put into form all the idealism and dreams that you've been nurturing for the past 3 years. Lots of short trips will help ignite your fire as will the magazines and media that will inspire you to build the life of your dreams. The best thing that you can do for all concerned is bring on your fire.

18 February

It's time to pull away from the known horizon of friends, established routines, family and your comfort zone to find what lies out beyond the realm of your vision. You'll want to take chances in the coming year as you don't seem to have anything to lose as you've been pulling up your fair share of stakes in the last few years. Life is about learning right now.

19 February

Some of you will be late Aquarians and some early Pisces so read both messages. The overarching message is one of stability. You can find peace through connecting into issues of personal moral responsibility and then move that energy out to family, then extended family, then your community and finally your nation's code of ethics, social policies and laws.
