Capricorns view from the mountain top begs the question:”Who resides in the celestial Heavens?” The world of archangels, folk souls and cultural anthropology are the realms of Aquarius. Currently the Aquarian is pictured as the water bearer carrying a yoke with two buckets of water hanging. He quenches our thirst, physical and metaphysical. The Greeks demoted him to a water boy for the Gods. Previously the Chaldeans pictured a celestial being pouring out the waters that brought forth life from a large urn. This constellation is also known as the future Angel Man, Higher Self or God Realized Self who rules the Breath of Spirit, the air or silence that weaves all life together. “Silence is the concentration of force.”1* The unmanifest potential lives here with Angel Man. He listens and has access to the voice of the Folk Soul, the spirit of a place as it bestows wisdom. Each Folk Soul is unique and is closely linked with the elemental creation of life and it’s diverse forms. The Folk Soul helps create the geography of the land forms, and or coastlines. This means the Folk Soul generates the living conditions climatically, the language of the folk, the spirit of the culture, and distinctions of one tribe or nationality to another. The Living Spirit of these regions develops specific sounds to their native tongue and looks to their physiognomy or bone structures and appearance. They are causal in the types of legends and spirituality a folk of humanity in a particular region will create and gravitate towards. Their natures are as different as the natural world is.

The tolerant Water Bearer is drawn to observing natural phenomena, Fen Shui, and the arrangement of objects in space. etc. The task is to allow silence to become discretion and meditative power. To have the capacity for discernment to pursue knowledge of the essential. The challenge is to develop the ability to cultivate inner silence for accessing our higher self, meditative prayer and inner guidance versus allowing mental and verbal chatter to dominate. Mental noise or meditation? The lower forms may appear as lust for knowledge and indiscriminate involvement. They can be the “know it alls” of the Zodiac. The urge of the Water Bearer is to nourish and warm the soul. When they fail to achieve this they may end up providing cold pontificating.

Fomalhault is one of the four fixed stars that forms the grand cross the heavens are mapped out upon. Fomalhault is know by astrosophers as St. John the Baptist’s future star. The ancient Chaldeans saw Fomalhault as the mouth of the Southern Fish located at the bottom in the middle of the gushing water poured by Aquarius, right where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers split. “Recent observations of Fomalhaut shows a hole in the middle.”*2

Unpredictable Uranus reigns over the Aquarian. He is like the lightening bolt, that suddenly illuminates a black sky; giving a momentary enlightened vision, that may change your perspective forever. Perhaps a home or mountain side is ignited by a strike and burns rapidly to the ground, changing the lives of it’s inhabitants forever. All without a word.
