Aquarius and the Eleventh House

From approximately the 22nd of January to the 22nd of February the Sun will be in the sign of the Water Bearer- Aquarius. In spite of it's association with water, Aquarius is an air sign. As the astrologer Steven Forrest says "more than any other element, air is aware that beyond itself lies the unknown". Air signs deal with mental processes whereas water signs are more concerned with  feelings and emotions. The Aquarian uses his prodigious mental capacity to find the meaning behind the numinous. It is a very Spiritual sign, which may seem to be at odds with it's clarity of thought and often "no nonsense" exterior. Aquarius is ruled by the planet of technology and revolution- Uranus.

The Eleventh House is traditionally known as "The House of Friends". In this we are not talking about personal relationships but about people who think as we do- large groups we associate with- our political party- our astrology association, etc. Our "friends" are working together for an ideology. They are the people who reflect our goals. In this house of our personal chart we can find out what kind of people and what kinds of associations will best serve us in our goals.
