The starring planet in the Aquarius New Moon planetary gestalt is Uranus, being the modern ruler of Aquarius and being sextiled by the Sun, Moon and Mercury. Here’s an evocation of this sky god of the planetary pantheon excerpted from my book The Planets Speak: Wisdom of the Gods
URANUS
I’m different, one of a kind
The only planet that spins on its side
Outsider, rebel, eccentric maybe
Inventive, bizarre, some say crazy
But ‘crazy’ by what standard or definition I must ask
And from whom do those who would label me derive their authority ?
I recognize and obey no authority other than my own
I cannot, will not, compromise on that
I’m an original
I never follow, I cannot follow
I create my path as I go, spontaneously, just so
If others follow, that is entirely their own affair
My role is to surprise, enlighten, challenge and provoke
To open windows into alternative realities
Induce altered states of consciousness
Incite rebellion, revolution and ultimately, spiritual liberation
Wake up! Wake up, now !
Arouse the kundalini
Open your third eye
Cleanse the doors of perception
‘See a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower’ [William Blake]
Now sing it out, loud and clear
‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity’ – [French Revolution]
‘Turn on, Tune in, Drop out’ – [Timothy Leary]
‘Think globally, Act locally’ – [Greenpeace?]
‘Be a light unto yourself’ – [Buddha]
My revelations are shattering
My methods unpredictable
My energy shocking
What to do ?
I am as I am, and I do what I must
