2011 Aquarius Full Moon — Astrological Significance

This con­stel­la­tion is one of supreme impor­tance to our solar sys­tem at this time, for it is the sign into which our Sun is rapidly mov­ing and its influ­ence is gain­ing in momen­tum and added potency with each van­ish­ing decade.

It is, there­fore, largely respon­si­ble for the changes now being effected in our plan­e­tary life.

… For in the sign Aquar­ius the indi­vid­ual becomes the uni­ver­sal. ~ The Tibetan

Eso­teric Astrol­ogy, p. 134

When an indi­vid­ual, with sin­cer­ity, and with an act of the will reaches for the spirit, the Higher Worlds respond.

This is called the Law of Rec­i­p­ro­cal Action.

We see this law reflected in the sym­bol for the sign Aquarius.


For exam­ple, when you make an effort to calm your­self, you attract calm­ness from your Soul.

When you make an effort to under­stand an idea, you attract the essence of that idea.

Some of the def­i­n­i­tions of “rec­i­p­ro­cal” are

  • Some­thing given by each side or
  • Some­thing given or done in return for some­thing else.

In the sym­bol for Aquar­ius, the top wave is the vibra­tion of the higher spheres; it’s the uni­ver­sal energy, and it cre­ates the vision.

The bot­tom por­tion of the sym­bol is the wave of the indi­vid­ual who is mak­ing an effort to express that vision, who’s mak­ing an effort to ful­fill the vision and pur­pose of the Soul. This effort cre­ates a spir­i­tual ten­sion within you and cre­ates mag­net­ism. That’s what brings these two lines together in syn­chronic­ity and harmony.

In Aquar­ius, you can become magnetic.

At this time of the full moon of Aquar­ius, there is an align­ment that you can tune into that can help make you more mag­netic. It’s a close con­junc­tion of mul­ti­ple plan­ets, which is called a stel­lium.

The plan­ets Mer­cury, Mars, Nep­tune, the sun, and the comet, Chi­ron, are lined up, one after another, in the sky. Mer­cury brings the men­tal energy, the energy of the mind which builds the bridge to the higher idea, so that you can bring that idea into your con­scious awareness.

Mars gives you the energy and enthu­si­asm to see that idea car­ried forward.

Nep­tune is the vision itself that comes from your Soul.

The sun rep­re­sents the light of your Soul that gives you the self– con­fi­dence to carry for­ward that vision and bring it into actualization.

Chi­ron brings the com­pas­sion so that your vision could be an idea that helps oth­ers in need. Respond­ing to that vision gives you the oppor­tu­nity to become the waters of life. The cool clear waters of life. Per­haps in your rela­tion­ship, your fam­ily, a group, your com­mu­nity or beyond. All of it’s important.

For the waters of life clear out all that sep­a­rates us and brings us together in the light of the Soul, in the light of love and joy, clear­ing the way for a new world and a new humanity.
