These insights really help me to understand the Leo/Aquarius axis on a deeper level. Leo, being the sign of the king, can be about the recognition and expression of the unique divinity within us. Aquarius reminds us of our mortal human existence and places us in service of that divinity, which is expressed in a more collective sense. We recognize our own divine nature, while also recognizing that everyone and everything around us are also expressions of that same divinity. You begin to understand that by embracing our individual uniqueness, and advocating for others to do the same, we are actually strengthening the collective. Trying to navigate this axis can bring up all of the challenges Adam mentioned like jealousy and isolation, but heavy is the head that wears the crown.
As an Aquarian, I found this oddly comforting! I feel like I've climbed up another rung by listening to your thoughts. I have probably just another 20 years in this body (at 70 years old now) and I can say I'm so encouraged by having the opportunity to dance with Pluto to take me to my end! Another BEAUTIFUL presentation! Thank you*
#grabbed Hi Adam. I couldn't stop crying listening. Mentally not understanding completely why, yet if felt like an acknowledgement, a release. My Moon & Mars in Aquarius. I am almost 55 years and just starting to unravel the difference between my strong Sag placements & the influence of Aquarius. No matter what I did in life, it always turned out I felt alienated. The outsider. Not understood. I probably was chasing/addicted to be understood while all this time Spirit already did. I didn't get that. Received a crazy amount of jealously. Now I start to understand I wasn't aware of power & weakness of the Water bearer within. Expressing truths I saw from people created strong reactions from family & partners. Not understanding yet most of it was just meant for me to acknowledge & accept. I decided to go hermit 5 yrs ago. Now finally in the process to accept the part which others experience as the eccentric in me. I am exploring the energy of Aquarius. Start getting the sense aloneness is transforming into freedom, all-oneness. Aparently being ordinary me is an eccentric and welcome in life as I am . I appreciate you and all that you share. You are giving me a lot. Thank you. Much love your way ❤️🙏
@@MetaPhysStore0770 Thank you, you just confirmed my point. You misunderstood. Noticed you posted the exact same words to Carrie's comment. After your remark she aparently deleted her openhearted response to this precious video. Really? This is what you want to contribute in a place where people dare to show their vulnerability? I'll be as blunt as you : you sound arrogant, shooting out a 'know it all' cheapshot without showing any vulnerability yourself. ?
This reminded me so so much of a quote from the movie Troy, “The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.” Aquarius Moon in 4 here and this resonated so much. Ironically, back in the 90s, I had a “lightbulb” moment and questioned if the ancients knew more than we gave credit. As well as questioning why we do not have a more direct, no middle man, relationship with the Gods. This began a 20 year on again off again cycle of researching and veneration of the Greek Gods, or any God, in the nature around me and a dive into Nature based faiths. Much to the horror of my Southern Baptist family and realizing I am that outcast.
I love the archetypal framework you’ve offered here-the immortal and mortal spectrum and dichotomy. It made me think about how in the Greco-Roman tradition, the gods weren’t exempt from avarice, envy, spite, or pride. Their divine abilities and immortality did not equate to perfection, which Ganymede had firsthand knowledge of but also access to unique knowledge, care, and intimacy with divinity. Also, when we compare Ganymede to the messiah, we can also see how our mortal lives are like a training ground or template for immortality, and so they hold divine potential/seeds. What we do in this life matters. What we sacrifice for greater good matters (also very Aquarian). How we implicate our mortal lives in the suffering and also the joy of others matters.
I have the sun in Aquarius in my chart and this is the first discussion of Aquarius I've heard that really makes sense to me. Thank you for this beautiful perspective. And a side note, as an Eastern Orthodox Christian I so much appreciate how you take the Christian tradition seriously as a source of beauty, mysiticism, and wisdom alongside other religious traditions. That doesn't always happen is astrology circles. It's so nice :)
This video outshines your most brilliant ones. Jesus as Ganymede and all the parallels you establish -- it is just baffling! And ever so poetic. Thank you. Thank you Adam.
I have not been moved to tears by astrological content in quite some time. I am going through my Saturn return in the 10th house, and to hear the water bearer explained in this way was beyond clarifying. This was so profound and beautiful, thank you 🙏🏻❤️
"the reverence towards the Divine is essential to Aquarius". I've wondered how to interpret my 5th house Aquarius, and this really clicked for me. I'm still early in my spiritual path, but it does fill me with joy and pleasure to be taking part in the process.
Adam you’re on fire with this Pluto into Aquarius series! And I think what makes your delivery so powerful is that it’s personal. Thank you for your courage and heart in sharing your insights and experiences - I’m understanding Aquarius in a beautiful new light!
I recently talked with my kids about the water bearer. My twins carry Aquarian moons & my firstborn...9h Aquarius stellium, including the Sun. The prospect & responsibility of what it means to "belong"... belonging to all worlds and none. Being honored and feeling ostracized. Multifaceted ways in what it means to be connected to others. The nuance of understanding where you are responsible and to whom. Personal sacrifices felt in carrying the water for others, the self care or grace necessary in doing so. 🌬🏺
I love this! My ascendant is 0' Aquarius, so I have felt Pluto's influence for awhile conjuncting my sense of what my clients are coming to me for. I have been a bearer of Hope while we all see the old Capricorn structures tearing down. I see this in my personal life as well, old structures in my life I have let go off. I have been building a foundation of collaborators both human and Divine. (Aquarius) I am enrolling people in a 9 mo program dedicating to Pluto's power to transmute the lower will and ego. So that we can fully taste the fruits of the Love and wisdom we truly are. I am following the suppressed Gospel of Mary, I have experienced Mary showing us the way to liberation. I am releasing the idea that I have to do this myself. I feel a block leave my shoulders as I feel this release. I am Opening to the other people in my classes and private clients as well as opening to the Archangels and the The Marys. And now here to today I opened to receive your amazing video that casts light on my journey. Both the journey I have just been through and the journey I am about to lead other on. Thank you!
Dear Adam, Your recent talks on the final opposition of Mercury to Jupiter, Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius and, Aquarius, the cup bearer, have been truly profound for me. At a moment of increasing darkness, your talks have shed light! Thank you so so much.
Adam, you have just been killing it the last week or two. I'm learning tons, gaining perspective and gaining the knowingness that we are all going to make it thru these astrological earthquakes. Thank you for all you do.
That opened up some special meaning for me. Pluto now just pass my ascendent has certainly brought me to big challenges and changes. Funny we’ve been talking about moving to Spain. Pluto in my 12th for years and now moving to my first house 12th from my second house sun your description of the Water Barrier has brought many things to light. Your insight brought some clarity for me. I watch many astrologers and love the life long of learning. Likely was instilled in me by the Franciscans in my early years. What you are saying in reference to Aquarius introduces a new understanding that translates for me into many experiences I’ve had already. From leaving the church to speaking out to police cruelties and getting my elbow dislocated by them. ( at age 59 ) I was fortunate not to go to jail and charges were dismissed, however justice was not served, ( for the injured ) but awareness on a global did begin to happen right about then. Obviously my court battle that I initiated against the city didn’t win, but I was heard by a lot of people in key legal positions. The amazing thing was hearing about how many have suffered and hearing how it’s kept it silent for fear of rejection, shame, or a sense of it being helpless to make a difference. Not to mention the cities pay to have any bad publicity removed. No wonder cities are going broke. A list of lawyers would testify to the fact they themselves feel helpless. The city will employ 10 attorneys to your one and cost is no object for them, not to mention some very unsavory practices that have been in place for years. I’ve done some cliff diving before ( started a non profit theatre when I was in my middle 50s ) but Going to Spain I’m felling little hesitant with a permanent move. With a stellium In Pisces in the second house Aquarius being my 12 house, I think the only way I have survived is to put what I love first, no matter what. That’s what has served me even in those extreme circumstances I mentioned here. In both cases I was putting what I loved ahead of what I was being told was right or wrong. I can clearly say if I had not stepped in and made a choice to decide for myself and act the outcome would have been devastating in both cases. Sometimes very ahead of my time. A very Aquarian theme. Acting on our instincts plays an important role. I would love to be there for your upcoming class. I’ve not registered as I would need tuition to be able to attend. I know you do a grabbed podcast, not sure I’m ready for that. I did want to pass it along to you as you reach many and there may be a few who will identify with these injustices. Saturn is soon entering Pisces, my Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, no node and port of fortune all will have Saturn join. I’m sure it gets interesting. Saturn my ruler in libra, if I can learn from others and teach what I’ve learned fulfill something important to me. Of all the transits coming I’m most excited for what now happen at 0 of Aires. Jupiter will again pass through after its revisits Pisces. Could you focus on this in future talks. I’ve heard other astrologers say this point was instrumental in the past during changing of the ages. It’s certainly already had big influences when things were “happening” in the past two years. Thanks for all you do reaching out to others. Yolanda
I’ve been secretly hoping for another one of your “Sermons from the Stars”, and wow did this one deliver. I’m in deep gratitude of the way that you’ve held your own humanity with such compassion and integrity during such a deeply personal experience and how you’ve done so with such a public audience all while maintaining such commitment to service. It is really inspiring so thank you.
This was deeply heart opening and as a triple Capricorn who has just been through the lessons of Pluto for a long time, I'm eager to see what it means in Aquarius. So much thought, research and wisdom in explaining our existence and purpose in this episode--and I am actually understanding all of it. Wow.
Dear Adam, it never dawn on me to find out about the water bearer.. being that I’m discovering my Aquarius ♒️ sign and so many other things.. It’s like everything is unfolding for me personally.. “It had to be you” I highly respect you and your way of speaking and explaining this beautiful world of astrology.. M.R.
Wow mind blown! Second time listening to this gorgeous meditation. There is so much to reflect upon, but my insight today is how nicely this talk maps onto Saturns significations with limits, bounds, and the edge of what is known and unknown. Aquarius seems to embody this awareness of the limits and bounds of humanity…of how humanity is “different” from the gods, but also the same. And only though knowing a bound, can we begin to know it’s beyond. The ultimate meditation on duality/non duality. A deep bow for sharing this wisdom Adam.
As someone with sun, mercury and north node in aquarius trine uranus - your take on Aquarius in this video offered me some very profound insights that actually moved me to tears. It really is making me look at this archetype differently within myself and my whole life experience. As I anticipate this future transit - I do have some fear... especially as this will go through my 6th house. BUT I will listen to this video over and over to keep me hopeful, inspired and grounded amongst all the changes and transformations Im sure I will undergo. Thank you so much for this
Bravo! 👏 I’m seeing the image of the water bearer with new eyes thanks to your brilliant videos…. Now, I see him as pouring his ego out in service of his divine calling... surrender of the ego… so much yes to that! Thanks for synthesising all your knowledge and instinct about this aspect so eloquently. Your work has obviously lit up the hearts of everyone in the comments! Thank you again!❤
This was awesome...! I appreciate my rising sign a whole lot more now. .. Well, maybe "appreciate" isn't quite right, but neither is "understanding". Perhaps it's best to say that I see myself in more dimensions?? Something like that... thanks!!!!!!
My older daughter has a 5-planet stellium in Aq in the 5th, including Sun, Merc, and Venus. She is an incredible musician. In high school she struggled a little with isolation but loved what she loved and kept going. She’s also an absolutely adorable weirdo😂. I’m in awe of her.
I got a lot out of this. I have a very Aquarius dad and this gave some insight to his objective nature. He always says he loves people but he hates people lol.
#grabbed So many epiphanies in just the first few minutes. I've tried for so long to understand my North Node in Aquarius in the 10th house because it seemed to go against my 8th house in Sagittarius stellium including the Sun, Moon and Saturn conjunct in Gemini, Venus in Capricorn, Pluto in the 6th in Libra. I could not relate to or get my head around what an aquarius North Node could help me understand with my other placements. Now I see, I've been taking the poison all of my life for those I loved, even those I barely knew..... and I have always endured incredible envy and jealousy of others and I could never understand what I did to cause it. Many times it seemed people loved me only to have an opportunity to try to destroy me. Everyone seemed to be mesmerized by me which confused me but yet they would just take and never give until I had nothing left. No relationships have remained in my life more than a few years not even family. I have always been overly kind and held my tongue and thought that people would learn their lessons eventually instead of saying the harsh things they needed to hear but, that did me no good they still treated me with some strange mixture of love and contempt. I was very gifted intellectually and musically but I never seem to be able to stay on the path of the things that really inspired me and that I truly loved, something or someone always interfered. No matter how hard I tried to create stability something would destroy it. I'm now about to be 51 years old and I feel like I have done nothing with all the gifts I was given when I came into this world , I'm still walking around trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up yet, I'm the stable, dependable adult that everyone runs to. I've always been alone even in crowds, in my family, always felt like I was outside looking in. I have been keeping everyone around me alive while sacrificing myself..... and it's created a lot of anger and frustration because I felt that I could never get done with everyone else so I could focus on what my life was to be. Things are starting to make sense now. My North Node being in the 10th house still has me a bit curious how it will materialize but I've spent the last 7 years digging very deep to understand. I've been studying astrology for a little over 30 years, just to educate myself not to use as a career path..... Both Vedic and western. 2020 brought me to a place where I left a job of 30 years that was completely fruitless. I left that job having nothing to show for all the years and being in worse financial shape than I was when I started lol. Odd relationships, and a very transformative although negative, marriage, have come to me in the last 10 years. Those interactions have given me an understanding of who I am and the people I came from that I never would have imagined possible. The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together with your help, thank you so much.
@@MetaPhysStore0770 actually, no going by the textbook definition of that. I've always formed very deep connections be it romantic or platonic and needed, desired, hoped for those types of connections with the people I cared about. Unfortunately, it was always the other person who would stay as long as I was beneficial in some way to them and then leave with me very deeply hurt and wondering why the other person acted as if the connection was just as deep and important for them and then suddenly shut it off. Had to work through some very deeply traumatic endings in both types of relationships and even with family but the endings were never my choice, strangely.
Thank you for this, Adam. I have been reflecting recently on what having the moon is Aquarius means in my chart. Have never really had a clear sense of what this means and how it is reflected in my life, on any level. This gives me a great deal to digest, on all levels.
Thank you, Adam. This was absolutely beautiful. I was listening to this on the way to the market, and when I went into the store I just started crying (in a good way) I have sun in Aquarius 💜
You have such passion! Love that about you! Pluto is in Capricorn by my Natal Moon 27degrees. Now will move into my first house at 1 degree on my Ascendant! I have been feeling so “out of bounds” I can’t explain it just how it truly is!
As a bissexual-aquarius-stellium-psychodelics-experienced-psychoanalyzed-person, I can say that the homoerotic sexual tension between The God and the man is that of the old and the new (as in the old can teach the new about things he didn’t even knew about, as well as the new can bring on some refreshing, long forgotten or maybe even new experiences for that which is old, and may not have experienced them/these sorts of experiences given the limitations of His/it’s lifetime/experiences.). Also, it’s a power-play. The strong that needs the weak, but also the weak that, because is subjugated to the strong, sees and knows about aspects of the strong one, that He does not know about. That’s got a lot to do with what you said about the poison in the cup, too. The Homo aspect of it all is because if it was/were female oriented roles, the meanings would be very different, in a symbolic way, as I imagine you can see. It’s also a lot to do with the sexual tension in the “you are just/exactly like me (but different 😜)” of it all. Anyway, here’s my contribution to this discussion. Very happy and pleased with this content and also - reminded me of Lana del Rey - Born To Die (aren’t we all?? 🤣🤣)
Brava!! I am so looking forward to Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius- to grow even more deeply accepting and appreciating my fellow human. This was an incredible read. I took in every morsel like it were a crumb cake given to me my the Gods. 😉
Thank you for sharing! This is such a profoundly beautiful insight into the magnificence of being human, and the gift that our mortality is. There is so much truth, and power in that, and yet most of us spend our whole lives trying to run, and hide from it. Some walk through life with a deep connection to this truth, and wear it like a beacon. it's a beacon that often inspires wariness, suspicion, and intimidation within society, but it's beautiful. Whether people realize it or not
Just watched this on my sons XBOX and had to come on my phone to comment haha. I never used to enjoy being an Aquarius until about 2 years ago. One thing I can say from your video is that we can see the beauty in humanity, but not everybody else can and really hard to watch. I mean, with the world being the way it is.... all the wars and poverty....etc...
Wow that was so breathtaking. I really feel I understand Aquarius at a much deeper level, and the message of God living thru us, and we as humans have this beauty of life, which we often don't appreciate. I can see where Aquarians equality comes into this, and the love for the collective. . I love the way you explain things much more deeper than a usual pluto in Aquarius take on things Really touched by this. Thankyou X
Adam, I am so grateful for the eloquence and depth you’ve delivered in this episode. I feel like to articulate how essential and powerfully this message landed for me, would diminish the potency of what you provided. So I’ll simply leave it at “thank you”. And share this on FB in hopefully reciprocity of my gratitude. In appreciation, Lillian 💚🌱💚
One of your best talks. Well done. Much appreciation for the depth and exploration you bring forth. Excited for Pluto's new journey, and its reflection in our lives.
Fantastic episode. Aquarius rising with a Leo moon :) It's interesting to think about the dual aspects of the cup bearer on the one hand and the cup pourer on the other. The kenotic cup pourer being related to an emptying out (saturn in aquarius = lockdown, pandemic), and the cup bearer being related to devotion, sanctity, and mortal beauty. Emptying itself has the feel of a uniquely mortality-related process. A 2 decade transit of Pluto in aquarius, through the cup pourer lens, gives me the vibes of immense destruction of current institutions due to at least climate change if not a world war/nuclear crisis. But through the cup bearer lens, it gives a glimpse of how we might rebuild egalitarian, individual-honoring structures in its wake - that honor humans by recognizing our collective mortality and the preciousness of life - and thereby carry ourselves through these crises. We shall see #grabbed
I absolutely agree! 🫶🏼 I have struggled to understand the archetype of Aquarius (I have Saturn in my 11th house and my NN in Aquarius) but this explanation resonates so deeply with me. I have come to appreciate the beauty in his word choices but this explanation far exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Adam. So honored to be showered by your beauty and your own humanity. Thank you!
Namaste ! Metaphors bypass the logical mind and straight into the human Heart . we can FEEL them deeply , they imprint the Soul ~`~ thank you Nightlight 🙏
You are so spot on with this, so eloquent. As I had mentioned I’ve been binging on NDEs (near death experiences) which I think is Mars/Neptune energy- and they all mention this privilege, great honor and opportunity and richness of having the experience of being a human, that is conveyed to them by the non physical (the ‘gods’) on the other side. It makes sense. We have such depth of experience here, and feeling, unattainable as a non physical being, before or beyond death.
My friend Nancy Strong wrote a devotional journal after an NDE. She always wanted to "see her angels". In a hospital bed, she survived a blood clot thru her lung. Saw people at the foot of her bed and they turned around and walked through the wall.
Aqua sun here, this so deeply resonated with me and put into words what I struggle and wrestle with (and I mean struggle like as in Jacob-with-the-angel-struggle…it was Jacob wasn’t it..?) and this has just given me such insight and peace in my spirit…thank you ! The question of what could a god want from me, what do you need from me…am I doing it right kind of questions… Big ass thanks Adam ! 🙏🏻♥️
Thank you for continually sharing your heart while teaching us about astrology. about life. about love. about God. I've personally missed this in your content, although I always learn something new no matter what the topic.
So interesting, I read years ago that Aquarius is represented by John the Baptist in the Bible. Yknow, the same themes apply, humility, the dichotomy/sameness of Divine vs Man. The isolation (JtB was often out in the wild alone); even the baptism scene where the Divine wants something from Man. So interesting...tbh I hadn't realized the magnitude of this transit, but it's on my radar now as a fixed angular houser lol.
I am less than 1 year into my education and broadened awareness of this Cosmic map. I am so anxious to understand it all because well..I’m also an Aquarius 4 degree 🌝, a Capricorn 25 degree 🌚..as well as my South Node Capricorn 22 degrees and Venus is Cap 29 degrees. That’s not mentioning the stellium of Mars, Saturn and Pluto at the mid to late degrees of Libra as well. Needless to say the tests have been ever-coming and I do not anticipate this next year nor 2026 will be anything less that loss of that which has not served my Being but what I’m hoping to capitalize on is the NEW GROWTH of what our God Energy has in-store 🍂🍃 Just from 2020 (like most) until today, I have encountered a move from Las Vegas, Nv to Biloxi, Ms. Was present for my father’s last year of his life by almost 1 exact year...his death was Oct. 8, 2021 (this was also my husband’s 41st birth year and the Sun was where my Mars degree is and my father’s Venus, I do not find this a coincidence). So I am ready for control and power release but am having infantile issues in practice. Adam, your videos allow me to place these thoughts in coherent files that allow the picture of the puzzle to come into clearer picture each time I view. Thank you for your connecting resources ✨💫 #grabbed
Christian pastor here with my sun at 14° Aquarius. I have a tattoo of what we call a “dressed chalice” (the cup used for communion) on my forearm. I have soooo much to say about this but this is not the format. Please accept my application for tuition assistance so I can write papers on this. 😂
Please please please please kindly write month and year on the title of every video so we can search easily . Hope you will consider our humble request . Thanks
Our world is in desperate need for a new Myth. For me, each Age has its ow Myth which I've taken as astrologically related and filled with the symbols of the predominant sign. Pisces - the Fish and the sacrifice, Aries the Fire in the Bush that is not consumed, etc. My sense, Adam is that you are articulating the emerging Myth of the Aquarian Age. A new/old relationship with the God(s) becoming conscious and alive for the survivors of the partisan dualities that have divided us. Thank you.
Wow! What a profound perspective on life to contemplate! It is touching me deeply, too, but I need to think about it for a while to organize the implications of it.
Interesting to have considered these themes then, by happenstance, rewatch the 1999 version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Kevin Kline's version of Bottom takes it in stride when he is beloved by Michelle Pfeiffer's Titania, only to be unspeakably touched, his egoism somewhat cracked, once returned to the mundane world.
These insights really help me to understand the Leo/Aquarius axis on a deeper level. Leo, being the sign of the king, can be about the recognition and expression of the unique divinity within us. Aquarius reminds us of our mortal human existence and places us in service of that divinity, which is expressed in a more collective sense. We recognize our own divine nature, while also recognizing that everyone and everything around us are also expressions of that same divinity. You begin to understand that by embracing our individual uniqueness, and advocating for others to do the same, we are actually strengthening the collective. Trying to navigate this axis can bring up all of the challenges Adam mentioned like jealousy and isolation, but heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Felt that. Aqua sun, Leo ascendant, Virgo moon
As an Aquarian, I found this oddly comforting! I feel like I've climbed up another rung by listening to your thoughts. I have probably just another 20 years in this body (at 70 years old now) and I can say I'm so encouraged by having the opportunity to dance with Pluto to take me to my end! Another BEAUTIFUL presentation! Thank you*
Continued joy and dancing for you!❤
I feel like I need to watch this twice.

This reminded me so so much of a quote from the movie Troy, “The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”

I love the archetypal framework you’ve offered here-the immortal and mortal spectrum and dichotomy.

Their divine abilities and immortality did not equate to perfection, which Ganymede had firsthand knowledge of but also access to unique knowledge, care, and intimacy with divinity. Also, when we compare Ganymede to the messiah, we can also see how our mortal lives are like a training ground or template for immortality, and so they hold divine potential/seeds. What we do in this life matters. What we sacrifice for greater good matters (also very Aquarian). How we implicate our mortal lives in the suffering and also the joy of others matters.

This was such an evocative take on the Aquarius ♒️ and cup bearer. Thank you
I recently talked with my kids about the water bearer. My twins carry Aquarian moons & my firstborn...9h Aquarius stellium, including the Sun.
The prospect & responsibility of what it means to "belong"... belonging to all worlds and none. Being honored and feeling ostracized. Multifaceted ways in what it means to be connected to others.

I have been a bearer of Hope while we all see the old Capricorn structures tearing down. I see this in my personal life as well, old structures in my life I have let go off. I have been building a foundation of collaborators both human and Divine. (Aquarius) I am enrolling people in a 9 mo program dedicating to Pluto's power to transmute the lower will and ego. So that we can fully taste the fruits of the Love and wisdom we truly are. I am following the suppressed Gospel of Mary, I have experienced Mary showing us the way to liberation. I am releasing the idea that I have to do this myself. I feel a block leave my shoulders as I feel this release. I am Opening to the other people in my classes and private clients as well as opening to the Archangels and the The Marys. And now here to today I opened to receive your amazing video that casts light on my journey. Both the journey I have just been through and the journey I am about to lead other on. Thank you!
Divine feminine on the world stage! Bring it on . . .
Dear Adam, Your recent talks on the final opposition of Mercury to Jupiter, Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius and, Aquarius, the cup bearer, have been truly profound for me. At a moment of increasing darkness, your talks have shed light! Thank you so so much.
Adam, you have just been killing it the last week or two. I'm learning tons, gaining perspective and gaining the knowingness that we are all going to make it thru these astrological earthquakes.
Thank you for all you do.
That opened up some special meaning for me. Pluto now just pass my ascendent has certainly brought me to big challenges and changes. Funny we’ve been talking about moving to Spain. Pluto in my 12th for years and now moving to my first house 12th from my second house sun your description of the Water Barrier has brought many things to light. Your insight brought some clarity for me. I watch many astrologers and love the life long of learning. Likely was instilled in me by the Franciscans in my early years. What you are saying in reference to Aquarius introduces a new understanding that translates for me into many experiences I’ve had already. From leaving the church to speaking out to police cruelties and getting my elbow dislocated by them. ( at age 59 )
I was fortunate not to go to jail and charges were dismissed, however justice was not served, ( for the injured ) but awareness on a global did begin to happen right about then. Obviously my court battle that I initiated against the city didn’t win, but I was heard by a lot of people in key legal positions. The amazing thing was hearing about how many have suffered and hearing how it’s kept it silent for fear of rejection, shame, or a sense of it being helpless to make a difference. Not to mention the cities pay to have any bad publicity removed. No wonder cities are going broke. A list of lawyers would testify to the fact they themselves feel helpless. The city will employ 10 attorneys to your one and cost is no object for them, not to mention some very unsavory practices that have been in place for years.
I’ve done some cliff diving before ( started a non profit theatre when I was in my middle 50s ) but Going to Spain I’m felling little hesitant with a permanent move. With a stellium In Pisces in the second house Aquarius being my 12 house, I think the only way I have survived is to put what I love first, no matter what. That’s what has served me even in those extreme circumstances I mentioned here. In both cases I was putting what I loved ahead of what I was being told was right or wrong. I can clearly say if I had not stepped in and made a choice to decide for myself and act the outcome would have been devastating in both cases.
Sometimes very ahead of my time. A very Aquarian theme. Acting on our instincts plays an important role.
I would love to be there for your upcoming class. I’ve not registered as I would need tuition to be able to attend. I know you do a grabbed podcast, not sure I’m ready for that. I did want to pass it along to you as you reach many and there may be a few who will identify with these injustices. Saturn is soon entering Pisces, my Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, no node and port of fortune all will have Saturn join. I’m sure it gets interesting. Saturn my ruler in libra, if I can learn from others and teach what I’ve learned fulfill something important to me.
Of all the transits coming I’m most excited for what now happen at 0 of Aires. Jupiter will again pass through after its revisits Pisces.
Could you focus on this in future talks. I’ve heard other astrologers say this point was instrumental in the past during changing of the ages. It’s certainly already had big influences when things were “happening” in the past two years.
Thanks for all you do reaching out to others. Yolanda
My sense this is some of your most profound work. Deeply enthused by the intonation of your words as sacred craft. Blessings 🙏🏽
"To love and be loved is the greatest joy on earth." TY Adam for your connection to the Divine!
My goodness Thank you Adam. Let’s love what we do and Do what we love
I’ve been secretly hoping for another one of your “Sermons from the Stars”, and wow did this one deliver. I’m in deep gratitude of the way that you’ve held your own humanity with such compassion and integrity during such a deeply personal experience and how you’ve done so with such a public audience all while maintaining such commitment to service. It is really inspiring so thank you.
This was deeply heart opening and as a triple Capricorn who has just been through the lessons of Pluto for a long time, I'm eager to see what it means in Aquarius. So much thought, research and wisdom in explaining our existence and purpose in this episode--and I am actually understanding all of it. Wow.
Dear Adam, it never dawn on me to find out about the water bearer..
being that I’m discovering my Aquarius ♒️ sign and so many other things..
It’s like everything is unfolding for me personally..
“It had to be you”
I highly respect you and your way of speaking and explaining this beautiful world of astrology..
M.R.
"Profound Reciprocity"..."Sacred Sameness " !!! Absolutely brilliant, mind blowing, and compelling..."Wild Geese"...so perfectly spoken, wrapped up, and Liberating...🙏👣💞🫂
Wow mind blown! Second time listening to this gorgeous meditation. There is so much to reflect upon, but my insight today is how nicely this talk maps onto Saturns significations with limits, bounds, and the edge of what is known and unknown. Aquarius seems to embody this awareness of the limits and bounds of humanity…of how humanity is “different” from the gods, but also the same. And only though knowing a bound, can we begin to know it’s beyond. The ultimate meditation on duality/non duality. A deep bow for sharing this wisdom Adam.
As someone with sun, mercury and north node in aquarius trine uranus - your take on Aquarius in this video offered me some very profound insights that actually moved me to tears. It really is making me look at this archetype differently within myself and my whole life experience. As I anticipate this future transit - I do have some fear... especially as this will go through my 6th house. BUT I will listen to this video over and over to keep me hopeful, inspired and grounded amongst all the changes and transformations Im sure I will undergo. Thank you so much for this
Bravo! 👏
I’m seeing the image of the water bearer with new eyes thanks to your brilliant videos….
Now, I see him as pouring his ego out in service of his divine calling... surrender of the ego… so much yes to that!
Thanks for synthesising all your knowledge and instinct about this aspect so eloquently.
Your work has obviously lit up the hearts of everyone in the comments!
Thank you again!❤
This was awesome...! I appreciate my rising sign a whole lot more now. .. Well, maybe "appreciate" isn't quite right, but neither is "understanding". Perhaps it's best to say that I see myself in more dimensions?? Something like that... thanks!!!!!!
I'm in tears. Thank you for the depth, love and devotion you serve in bringing these archetypes to life. 🙏
I've read this poem to a client in a reading (after you first recommended it) and it brought me to tears.
My older daughter has a 5-planet stellium in Aq in the 5th, including Sun, Merc, and Venus. She is an incredible musician. In high school she struggled a little with isolation but loved what she loved and kept going. She’s also an absolutely adorable weirdo😂. I’m in awe of her.
And she'd have beautiful hair and she doesn't have to work for it like a Leo might
Your love for her just sparkles! Thank you for spreading both of your lights!❤
You are beautiful Adam 🙏 thank you for sharing your thoughts ✨
I got a lot out of this. I have a very Aquarius dad and this gave some insight to his objective nature. He always says he loves people but he hates people lol.
I'm so impressed, how you delilver such insightful, inspiring and thought-provocing talks every day.
#grabbed So many epiphanies in just the first few minutes. I've tried for so long to understand my North Node in Aquarius in the 10th house because it seemed to go against my 8th house in Sagittarius stellium including the Sun, Moon and Saturn conjunct in Gemini, Venus in Capricorn, Pluto in the 6th in Libra. I could not relate to or get my head around what an aquarius North Node could help me understand with my other placements. Now I see, I've been taking the poison all of my life for those I loved, even those I barely knew..... and I have always endured incredible envy and jealousy of others and I could never understand what I did to cause it. Many times it seemed people loved me only to have an opportunity to try to destroy me. Everyone seemed to be mesmerized by me which confused me but yet they would just take and never give until I had nothing left. No relationships have remained in my life more than a few years not even family. I have always been overly kind and held my tongue and thought that people would learn their lessons eventually instead of saying the harsh things they needed to hear but, that did me no good they still treated me with some strange mixture of love and contempt.
I was very gifted intellectually and musically but I never seem to be able to stay on the path of the things that really inspired me and that I truly loved, something or someone always interfered. No matter how hard I tried to create stability something would destroy it. I'm now about to be 51 years old and I feel like I have done nothing with all the gifts I was given when I came into this world , I'm still walking around trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up yet, I'm the stable, dependable adult that everyone runs to. I've always been alone even in crowds, in my family, always felt like I was outside looking in. I have been keeping everyone around me alive while sacrificing myself..... and it's created a lot of anger and frustration because I felt that I could never get done with everyone else so I could focus on what my life was to be. Things are starting to make sense now. My North Node being in the 10th house still has me a bit curious how it will materialize but I've spent the last 7 years digging very deep to understand. I've been studying astrology for a little over 30 years, just to educate myself not to use as a career path..... Both Vedic and western.
2020 brought me to a place where I left a job of 30 years that was completely fruitless. I left that job having nothing to show for all the years and being in worse financial shape than I was when I started lol. Odd relationships, and a very transformative although negative, marriage, have come to me in the last 10 years. Those interactions have given me an understanding of who I am and the people I came from that I never would have imagined possible. The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together with your help, thank you so much.
@@MetaPhysStore0770 actually, no going by the textbook definition of that. I've always formed very deep connections be it romantic or platonic and needed, desired, hoped for those types of connections with the people I cared about. Unfortunately, it was always the other person who would stay as long as I was beneficial in some way to them and then leave with me very deeply hurt and wondering why the other person acted as if the connection was just as deep and important for them and then suddenly shut it off. Had to work through some very deeply traumatic endings in both types of relationships and even with family but the endings were never my choice, strangely.
@@MetaPhysStore0770 it seems more of it is me drawing in people of that personality type and not recognizing that in them before I get involved.
That has been the best video you have made, in my opinion. Thank you Adam
Amazing perspective!
Thank you for this, Adam. I have been reflecting recently on what having the moon is Aquarius means in my chart. Have never really had a clear sense of what this means and how it is reflected in my life, on any level. This gives me a great deal to digest, on all levels.
I’ve always struggled with the Aquarius archetype. This was such a valuable and important topic , your wisdom is so appreciated. Thank you ❤
Thank you, Adam. So wonderful to receive this seed in my Aquarian sou! Many blessings!
Thank you, Adam. This was absolutely beautiful. I was listening to this on the way to the market, and when I went into the store I just started crying (in a good way) I have sun in Aquarius 💜
You have such passion! Love that about you! Pluto is in Capricorn by my Natal Moon 27degrees. Now will move into my first house at 1 degree on my Ascendant! I have been feeling so “out of bounds” I can’t explain it just how it truly is!
As a bissexual-aquarius-stellium-psychodelics-experienced-psychoanalyzed-person, I can say that the homoerotic sexual tension between The God and the man is that of the old and the new (as in the old can teach the new about things he didn’t even knew about, as well as the new can bring on some refreshing, long forgotten or maybe even new experiences for that which is old, and may not have experienced them/these sorts of experiences given the limitations of His/it’s lifetime/experiences.).
Also, it’s a power-play. The strong that needs the weak, but also the weak that, because is subjugated to the strong, sees and knows about aspects of the strong one, that He does not know about. That’s got a lot to do with what you said about the poison in the cup, too.
The Homo aspect of it all is because if it was/were female oriented roles, the meanings would be very different, in a symbolic way, as I imagine you can see.
It’s also a lot to do with the sexual tension in the “you are just/exactly like me (but different 😜)” of it all.
Anyway, here’s my contribution to this discussion. Very happy and pleased with this content and also - reminded me of Lana del Rey - Born To Die (aren’t we all?? 🤣🤣)
Brava!!
I am so looking forward to Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius- to grow even more deeply accepting and appreciating my fellow human.
This was an incredible read. I took in every morsel like it were a crumb cake given to me my the Gods. 😉
Thank you for sharing! This is such a profoundly beautiful insight into the magnificence of being human, and the gift that our mortality is. There is so much truth, and power in that, and yet most of us spend our whole lives trying to run, and hide from it. Some walk through life with a deep connection to this truth, and wear it like a beacon. it's a beacon that often inspires wariness, suspicion, and intimidation within society, but it's beautiful. Whether people realize it or not
Beautiful translation of this deep content!
I’ve been watching this for many years. Pluto will cross my Ascendant 5 times between 2024 and 2026. 1° Aqua.
Oh my goddess what a wonderful talk! Thank you so much! ✨💕
You're a natural storyteller Adam 😊, and it gives such depth to the understanding of Aquarius. Thank you 🙏
Everytime an event happens in my life, I ask the planets "what do you want me to do"
Just watched this on my sons XBOX and had to come on my phone to comment haha.
I never used to enjoy being an Aquarius until about 2 years ago. One thing I can say from your video is that we can see the beauty in humanity, but not everybody else can and really hard to watch. I mean, with the world being the way it is.... all the wars and poverty....etc...
Wow that was so breathtaking. I really feel I understand Aquarius at a much deeper level, and the message of God living thru us, and we as humans have this beauty of life, which we often don't appreciate. I can see where Aquarians equality comes into this, and the love for the collective. . I love the way you explain things much more deeper than a usual pluto in Aquarius take on things Really touched by this. Thankyou X
This was such profound insight. Thank you for your deep understanding and devotion to your craft and your fellow astrology lovers.
Adam, I am so grateful for the eloquence and depth you’ve delivered in this episode.
I feel like to articulate how essential and powerfully this message landed for me, would diminish the potency of what you provided.
So I’ll simply leave it at “thank you”. And share this on FB in hopefully reciprocity of my gratitude.
In appreciation,
Lillian 💚🌱💚
As I listened, two eagles swooped through my yard on Jupiter’s day. 😊
Adam,I really felt close to you today. What amazing insights!
Very touching, really adds perspective on being a mortal being 🙏
I'm fearing this transition but I'm excited by what it might bring at a societal level
One of your best talks. Well done. Much appreciation for the depth and exploration you bring forth. Excited for Pluto's new journey, and its reflection in our lives.
Fantastic episode. Aquarius rising with a Leo moon :) It's interesting to think about the dual aspects of the cup bearer on the one hand and the cup pourer on the other. The kenotic cup pourer being related to an emptying out (saturn in aquarius = lockdown, pandemic), and the cup bearer being related to devotion, sanctity, and mortal beauty. Emptying itself has the feel of a uniquely mortality-related process. A 2 decade transit of Pluto in aquarius, through the cup pourer lens, gives me the vibes of immense destruction of current institutions due to at least climate change if not a world war/nuclear crisis. But through the cup bearer lens, it gives a glimpse of how we might rebuild egalitarian, individual-honoring structures in its wake - that honor humans by recognizing our collective mortality and the preciousness of life - and thereby carry ourselves through these crises. We shall see #grabbed
Amazing! I am grateful to have found your channel 🙏🏼
Good job - well done! Thank you Adam! Hopeful Reasons to embrace life.
What a beautiful explanation!! I felt this deeply. Thank you Adam. ❤🙏
I absolutely agree! 🫶🏼 I have struggled to understand the archetype of Aquarius (I have Saturn in my 11th house and my NN in Aquarius) but this explanation resonates so deeply with me. I have come to appreciate the beauty in his word choices but this explanation far exceeded my expectations.
Thank you, Adam. So honored to be showered by your beauty and your own humanity. Thank you!
Namaste ! Metaphors bypass the logical mind and straight into the human Heart . we can FEEL them deeply , they imprint the Soul ~`~ thank you Nightlight 🙏
Jai Adam! That was amazing. Thank you.
Pluto has been hitting my Cap Sun on and off for years oh my transformation to say the least xxx
You are so spot on with this, so eloquent. As I had mentioned I’ve been binging on NDEs (near death experiences) which I think is Mars/Neptune energy- and they all mention this privilege, great honor and opportunity and richness of having the experience of being a human, that is conveyed to them by the non physical (the ‘gods’) on the other side. It makes sense. We have such depth of experience here, and feeling, unattainable as a non physical being, before or beyond death.
My friend Nancy Strong wrote a devotional journal after an NDE. She always wanted to "see her angels". In a hospital bed, she survived a blood clot thru her lung. Saw people at the foot of her bed and they turned around and walked through the wall.
Aqua sun here, this so deeply resonated with me and put into words what I struggle and wrestle with (and I mean struggle like as in Jacob-with-the-angel-struggle…it was Jacob wasn’t it..?) and this has just given me such insight and peace in my spirit…thank you ! The question of what could a god want from me, what do you need from me…am I doing it right kind of questions…
Big ass thanks Adam ! 🙏🏻♥️
So wonderfull, so much insight thank you Adam
That was an absolututely beautiful, highly inpirational workshop! Thank you!
Thank you for continually sharing your heart while teaching us about astrology. about life. about love. about God. I've personally missed this in your content, although I always learn something new no matter what the topic.
I've had the same insights in meditation recently! Great talk, thanks for putting out the words xxx
Breathtaking. xo
So interesting, I read years ago that Aquarius is represented by John the Baptist in the Bible. Yknow, the same themes apply, humility, the dichotomy/sameness of Divine vs Man. The isolation (JtB was often out in the wild alone); even the baptism scene where the Divine wants something from Man. So interesting...tbh I hadn't realized the magnitude of this transit, but it's on my radar now as a fixed angular houser lol.
I am less than 1 year into my education and broadened awareness of this Cosmic map. I am so anxious to understand it all because well..I’m also an Aquarius 4 degree 🌝, a Capricorn 25 degree 🌚..as well as my South Node Capricorn 22 degrees and Venus is Cap 29 degrees. That’s not mentioning the stellium of Mars, Saturn and Pluto at the mid to late degrees of Libra as well. Needless to say the tests have been ever-coming and I do not anticipate this next year nor 2026 will be anything less that loss of that which has not served my Being but what I’m hoping to capitalize on is the NEW GROWTH of what our God Energy has in-store 🍂🍃 Just from 2020 (like most) until today, I have encountered a move from Las Vegas, Nv to Biloxi, Ms. Was present for my father’s last year of his life by almost 1 exact year...his death was Oct. 8, 2021 (this was also my husband’s 41st birth year and the Sun was where my Mars degree is and my father’s Venus, I do not find this a coincidence). So I am ready for control and power release but am having infantile issues in practice.
Adam, your videos allow me to place these thoughts in coherent files that allow the picture of the puzzle to come into clearer picture each time I view. Thank you for your connecting resources ✨💫 #grabbed
Christian pastor here with my sun at 14° Aquarius. I have a tattoo of what we call a “dressed chalice” (the cup used for communion) on my forearm. I have soooo much to say about this but this is not the format. Please accept my application for tuition assistance so I can write papers on this. 😂
Would love that!! Please join the class, your presence would be awesome! 🙏
Will I need to enroll as well to enjoy your written submissions? 😇
Please please please please kindly write month and year on the title of every video so we can search easily . Hope you will consider our humble request . Thanks
Excellent video.
Really insightful. Thankyou.
Our world is in desperate need for a new Myth. For me, each Age has its ow Myth which I've taken as astrologically related and filled with the symbols of the predominant sign. Pisces - the Fish and the sacrifice, Aries the Fire in the Bush that is not consumed, etc. My sense, Adam is that you are articulating the emerging Myth of the Aquarian Age. A new/old relationship with the God(s) becoming conscious and alive for the survivors of the partisan dualities that have divided us. Thank you.
Wow! What a profound perspective on life to contemplate! It is touching me deeply, too, but I need to think about it for a while to organize the implications of it.
This was excellent! Thanks
Powerful insight into the symbolism of the water bearer . Thank you.
Truly inspired and uplifting. I feel very blessed to receive your wisdom. Thank you 🙏
Beautiful ! Thank you!
This was amazing! I would love to hear about the other mythos surrounding the astrological signs, and your interpretation of them
Wow! Just amazing, thank you so much for these beautiful and profound insights!!!
Wowza! Love that poem❤
My North node is in Aquarius in the 10th so, I am quite curious to see how it will go👀.
Phew. You just blew my Aquarius rising mind.
I’ve been a bit apprehensive of Pluto entering my 1st house. You’ve given me lots to think about.
Such inspired work. Thank you, Adam. This was beautiful to listen to.
I think this talk that you gave is very special.
This is beautiful. Thanks for your insights.
Wonderful new perspective 🌟
Interesting to have considered these themes then, by happenstance, rewatch the 1999 version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Kevin Kline's version of Bottom takes it in stride when he is beloved by Michelle Pfeiffer's Titania, only to be unspeakably touched, his egoism somewhat cracked, once returned to the mundane world.
This is really good
Gorgeous talk.
Absolutely beautiful Adam!
Love love loved this talk!
