The 12 Days of Aries: Day 11, Aquarius (KB)

Welcome to Day Eleven of the 12 Days of Aries, which begins at sundown on Monday, April 18 and ends at sundown on Tuesday, April 19. Aquarius is a fixed air sign. Fixed signs carry the energy of focus, stability, and direction, and air signs have the gift of seeing the big picture. Aquarians are true visionaries with an eye for global change, the revolutionaries of the Zodiac. As individuals, they resist conformity and identify themselves as truly unique; no two Aquarians will ever be the same. The Aquarian Inner Child Archetype is the contrarian child who disagrees for the sake of disagreeing. This child sabotages positive potential with constant objections. Feeling terminally unique, this archetype seeks a sense of belonging that is always out of reach. All of us have this Aquarian Inner Child Archetype within. Perhaps we find ourselves arguing for the sake of arguing, or needing to prove our point for the sake of proving. When we can recognize where and how we have isolated ourselves from others for no real reason other than needing to feel different, we can meet the voice of this contrarian child with acceptance and love. Consciousness for the Day: When you find yourself wanting to prove a point, let go. Find ways to be present with friends, colleagues, or loved ones. Practice kindness and extend human dignity wherever possible. Open your heart and do something fun with those who are closest to you. Embrace your uniqueness, while feeling your connectedness to the whole of the Life-force Energy that sustains this world. Most importantly, be gentle with yourself and your inner child. You are work in progress and a child of God who loves you. Healing comes from positively acknowledging what we need to change, not from beating ourselves up.
