Aquarius Horoscope for May 2013

You are turning to the inside, Aquarius, at the same time as you continue to bask in outer world achievement. As you come to understand your own deeper motivation, an evolutionary pressure builds within that inspires you to learn a new language of the soul. Communication and learning are your favorite things, and this is where you are truly at, as information — amidst a series of profound changes — continues to pour forth from you and to you. The world of events and of outward presentation is one important key to who you are, and yet you are beginning to acknowledge that your performance also rests on another base; a reality orientation of a subtler kind. This one brings your hidden places to light and allows the dark and relatively unconscious parts of yourself to join in and to finally have their voice.

As the month begins, you are being almost gratefully pulled in two very different directions all at once. The outer world holds great power and promise for you now, as was perhaps even more clearly revealed in wake of the recent Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse from the middle of last week, which took place in your sector of career and professional life. It is true that the recognition that you deserve and also to some extent seek these days has been given a few incredible boosts recently, and it is equally true that another part of yourself remains deeply private also, as symbolized by the Sun and Mars in conjunction in your house of home, family and tribe.

Meanwhile, this is also the month of the next re-occurrence of the outer planet square alignment that characterizes this decade of revolutionary and evolutionary activity, namely that of transformative Pluto, in your house of dream work and inner process, in profound collision with Uranus, your ruler, located in your communications sector. It could be that your most important commutative efforts lately involve this deeper part of yourself that rarely sees the daylight of conscious awareness, and yet is currently coming out in a more and more definitive way. It could also be that hidden complexes and woundings are coming closer to the surface as a result or your conscious collaboration with this deeper portion of yourself.

You also have to consider the highlighted presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, currently residing in your sector of resources and values, and also a big part of your current picture, remaining in strong aspect both to your ruler and as well to a similarly placed Pluto. Over the course of an intense month, buried trauma could surface. With your unique perspective on life, you could also have issues — exacerbated now — with ever being positioned in such a way as to feel entirely comfortable in your own skin; at home in the world and fully secure. All this could come forward for acceptance and healing.

You win when you can put aside your fears and gaze unflinchingly at your hidden places, therefore being able to simply acknowledge the unseen depths within you; by giving them an equal voice along with your more obvious conscious part of yourself, you come a long way forward in your almost secret agenda of creating more interior integration within you. Then, you can take in your outer world accolades more gracefully, as one reflection on the wider possibilities that you have engendered — wholly characteristic of the real you.
