True! Let me add another saying: the revolution devours its own children. We have seen that manifold times in history. Some presumably well-minded people free humanity from the clutches of their suppressors and poverty which then has to follow the ideology of their so called liberators.
I'm an Aqua Sun, Mercury and Saturn and my brother says to me "As a citizen of the world (I'm known for my humanitarian views) you're not too fond of people" Hehehe
I so needed to hear this! The alienation I feel for my exploration of consciousness and self-development endeavors. Yes, it makes others feel like I think I'm superior. And it is lonely! The struggle of "helping" to keep from feeling lonely and disconnected, but also a type of guilt to compensate for the gap of being perceived as "elitist." Ah, the confusion! This year, my motto has been "embracing my humanness." While I continue to set goals to explore, learn, and grow I no longer do it to "fix" myself or others, but to improve my relationship to others, integrating head and heart! And helping us all to relate to each other the same. I appreciate Carl Jung's work, ironically. And I am a fan of Liz Greene....I have that book, but haven't really dug into it yet. It was a hard read starting out, but I'm inspired to go back to it. Thank you, Adam!!
Great analysis Adam! With aquarius as my ascendant, you just nailed the driving force of my being in your talk today. The purpose and the meaning of everything is to evolve the human heart and mind, somehow. Since early childhood it has mattered, and it's fairly solitary. Seems to threaten others too. Which has been heartbreaking, when you value 'only goodness for all'! There's the irony. Need for practical wisdom and mature, strategic navigation.
So good to hear someone talk so clearly about the ruthlessness of Aquarius. An Aquarian not wedded to honesty I stay away from. They can make the pride of Leo look kitten like
This is profound!! Thank you! My moon is at 5 degrees of Aquarius in my 1st house. So much of this resonated so deep! I definitely see and feel the potential of humanity, but I continue to feel burdened because we aren’t there yet. It’s almost like seeing everyone at the soul level and continually being broken-hearted over their humanity. And the loneliness hit deep. It’s very very difficult for people to relate to me. Plant diets have definitely helped me anchor into my Aquarius frequency, and as time goes on, I find people that can hold space for me, but they are few, and for that, I cherish them beyond measure. 💜
I'm an Aqua sun and Venus and I relate to this deeply. Yet I feel so divided... Maybe its Uranus conjunct Saturn in my chart.. but I can understand how the gods could be upset with prometheus. I just look around today and see there is information, practices and ancient secrets in the hands of the unworthy, because all they want is just "to know" and have power. They don't give credit to the gods or the Divine, they don't care about working in harmony within an ordered system of many different parts/aspects. Also the power is being misused. This disrupts a divine system and order. Plus the arrogance of man and how they take what was GIVEN them and act like it was theirs all along... Its like, you don't give certain powers to beasts and those who are destructive. The sacred (sacred fire) has been profaned I feel. Some say we aren't here to learn, maybe not animal man, but those who fell from their original state have much to learn. There is a lesson in Aquarius (the spiritual man/christ aka the prodigal son) ... through isolation we learn this lesson. Through alienation we learn this lesson. Through the increase in foreign like technology and robots, AWAY from nature and the natural, away from love, away from the Divine ... there is a lesson.
I understand what you are saying about alienation. It must be a hard idea to express because you’re not saying that you’re better than other people but it is true that one participates in extravivular topics like divination, spiritual life, or altered states of consciousness, to be a better person. It can be a hard line to draw sometimes between thinking you’re better than others and thinking you are better than you were but also that you were like others before you got better. It’s only offensive by the transitive property and not an insult I promise. But even the attempt to explain that is itself alienating. Alienation itself is alienating in its way because most normal people don’t know what it’s like not to be most normal people. For me this is super easy though with sun and ascendanct ruler in Aqua in the 4th I have no problem being weird on other people’s behalf. Can’t wait for Pluto to hit Aquarius I’m super excited!!
@8.36 Hey Adam - the "you" they are using is the "social you" - which translates as I (just like a lot you people out there) are not capable of going ON MY OWN but it's ok because I am part of the you that also is not capable of going there on their own. Hope this makes sense?? Not a backward compliment. A PURE compliment. So basically it's not always about you YOU 🥰
The comment about coming out of the cave and going back in resonated with me today, as I just returned from a full day of exploring Harriet Tubman sites on the Eastern Shore. And I am so in line with what you related about the shadow side of a drive for betterment being an intolerance for what is. I wrestle through it in myself constantly.
Another awesome and thought provoking video. Made me laugh when you spoke of receiving back handed 'compliments' because I think you consistently provide great videos with unique, fun and accessible info. I can honestly say that for me you do meet your potential (although I suppose I have no real idea of your potential). I always appreciate your humour and honesty and your own personal examples. Thank you
Thank you Adam. Your insights on this topic are just splendid and so enriching ! ❤❤ I am Aquarius by Sun with strong Saturn and Uranus. It’s as if you’ve been talking on my behalf… but much more brilliantly and eloquently 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh Adam! Spot on! You’re in my head 😂🙏❤️ My Aquarian Moon so connects with this unpacking!! I have often thought about the teaching of the prisoners in the cave within myself wanting to help but rolling in turmoil inside with caution. Add in my natal signature of a Mercury/Pluto 3rd house person and Pluto moving out of my 7H and relating to the other, left and right I feel constantly misunderstood or alienated. So comforting Adam! Somedays I just want to run away to astrology Island aka ISAR or the like where people get me 🦄 And then I know we are all here to integrate and learn and grow from each other in Earth School, Om Mani Padme Hum 🙏 Thank you!! Great episode as they all are ☺️🙏❤️ Happy Astrology Day yesterday and Happy Equinox! Also #grabbed Mars is about to go into my 1st house and I can’t get enough red, lipstick, nail polish, (not typically) hair, clothing and contemplating my first tattoo ❤💃🏻💄🚘🎸🍎😂 Thank you! 🙏
Very interesting exploration of archetypal factors. The information is presented so quickly that I would like to delve deeper so as to better understand the subtleties involved in the interaction of the archetypes, both pure mythologically as well as astrologically. Thank you.
Not quite a Pluto in Aquarius #grabbed but a last moments of Pluto in Capricorn - clearly illustrating Saturn’s tendency to say NO and how fundamentally frustrating that is when it comes to the power we have over our own life. Pluto. On every journey I have taken in the last few days I have been foiled getting to my destination with ease. I’ve comes across a number of road blocks which have meant I’ve had to return the way I came and find another route, I’ve been almost at the point of running out of petrol and unable to reach the petrol station because of one way roads and no right turns. The best was yesterday when after going the wrong way and having to turn around I finally found the lane I needed and saw there was a stop sign saying the road was closed. I retraced all my steps and found another route and found it was also blocked. My friend, who I was dropping off for an important meeting which he was now late for, got out and went and asked in a nearby house. It turned out he needed to be just the other side of the road block and the first route we took was the right one that would have got us to the door! So he got there in the end but had to drag his luggage the final 100 yards on foot. Pluto in my fourth house of Capricorn which houses my sun, Mercury and IC and opposes my natal Saturn has been a mountain to climb that was perfectly illustrated by the journeys of the last few days. I’m grateful to have reached the end of that journey (or at least a brief pause) and am looking forward to the next.
I have the sun & Mercury in my ascendant of Aquarius ♒️ that tension is always there within me as in being an individual & what's best for the group which can hamper progress but also very inspiring & rewarding on both sides of the coin, thank you Adam
So I want myself as well as humanity to evolve, transform and grow to become better in the future but at the same time I don’t want to get held up in judging an idea that we are not already evolving now while at the same time I don’t want to get stuck in judging any past experiences, while also realizing that the now present moment is perfect and innocent in the truth of who, what and where we currently are. It feels like a non-doing nature but at the same time it feels like a very fluid movement, a delicate, graceful and eloquent ballet dance that is happening in every now moment between spirit, humanity and earth. So the middle balanced half way point is where we want to be. Shout out to Libra 🙂
I have 3rd h. Sun in ♒ opposing Mars, Saturn and Pluto in 9th. I mention this to show why I really relate to your discussion about stealing fire (consciousness) from the gods and the feeling of alienation. (I have Uranus in the 7th trine Sun.) I have felt like an outsider my whole life. I've explored many 3rd/9th house activities such as astrology, religion (usually their mystical side), and depth psychology. I always appreciate it when I find a kindred soul. Thank you for discussing this issue, especially with Pluto ingressing ♒
Messie Jessie here with a PSA about being careful with the rejection of the mess. If your hair is a mess, you can clean it up, cut it, fix it, but the alternative is no hair. Just an example, but there is no margins or compartmentalization or organization or boundaries, so if it annoys the people who don't want their peas to touch the mashed potatoes, imagine how exhausting it is to live that constantly with the hate and countless hours spent trying to make it functional to then try to society, only to have made a bigger mess.
Saturn in Aquarius was in my 4 th- it was intense, my mom died, my pet died, I lost all the possessions in my house, I moved house 3 times- and I wasn’t just staying with people, it was full move, damage deposits, cleaning, leases etc- 3 TIMES, I’m utterly exhausted. The good news is that this final house is absolutely beautiful, reasonably priced, great landlords and I’ll likely stay here a long time. But I’m no longer getting any pets, it’s too painful to lose them, and I’m an extreme minimalist now - I barely have any possessions in my house, zero clutter
Adam, thank you for this video and all of your videos. I haven't watched them all, but you're insight has been very useful to me in trying to understand this thing we call life. Kudos and keep it up! I'd like to throw out an interesting thought on the topic of Aquarius and the endearment to the Ganymede archetype. Do you see correlation with the idea that Aquarius, represented as Uranus, and Aries, represented as Mars, are connected through transit at least, through Pisces, represented as Jupiter? Put another way, the ascended one is connected to the newborn through love?
I have Ic, Moon, NN, Mercury in Aqua, I look to my Saturn & Ceres in Taurus trine Venus & Vesta in Cap for grounding feminine energy. Thank you, spot on!
I am old, born in 1945, my generation is the first in a long time to live in a time when we may experience Pluto opposite Pluto. For me, if I live a bit longer, Pluto will conjunct my Sun and oppose his birth placement. To me, Uranus does rule my Son, in part because they are in trine aspects. Actually my Aquarius Son is trine both Uranus and Neptune and in opposition to Pluto. Being a Full Moon person, Pluto is conjunct my Leo Moon. These placements form a kite configuration. I have read Liz Greene book you read from many times. She is one of my favorite Astrologers.😊
Hi, Good Friend. The compliment joke was HILARIOUS 😢. What you have dropped on that particular individual was far above his understanding. P.S. His ark is not serving its purpose. Perhaps the construction 🚧 hasn't been initiated😮😢. SORRY TO THAT FELLOW. I will APOLOGIZE FOR him.
I dont think critics see it as a bad idea as much as an unrealistic and ungrounded one...not saying I feel that way...but as someone who grew up in a family of Aquarians...at times I did find the idealism sort of intolerant and ironically narrow! But all signs have shadow sides...and gifts!
I need to know how much of this is true because I have Uranus on the AC (one degree into my 12th house), and I say things about society that no one listens to, and then I hear them reappear like 6 months later coming from the mouth of someone else after they've been absorbed "into the ether". I never know if I should give them up as gifts to the universe or demand that I be given credit for them, especially because this is affecting my ability to move up at work.
My understanding of the myth behind Aquarius is basically the story of Zeus (Jupiter) & Ganymede, so through the entirety of this talk I was viewing it through that lens, and it seems to be incredibly important due to the fairly widespread taboo (PLUTO??) perspective with which we view that type of relationship in modern times. In particular there seems to be a mirroring of a similar issue today in regard to the Trans movement, but mostly having to do with the gender roles we may see in that story, as well as the realization that minors sometimes have more psychologically elaborate gender/sexual paradigms unfolding than some people are comfortable with today. So much of what you were discussing fits right into the Ganymede story - the progression through this narrative may begin with a perceived taboo relationship, a seemingly earthy, sensual 'tawdry', base occurrence that could be considered a rape. We may think to pity him, but we should be aware of what he, like many others of that era, gained from this kind of relationship. Like Prometheus, who served Mankind, Ganymede served the Gods and became a deity himself with their respect for his reportedly immense beauty, which they would have the pleasure of beholding daily. There is a sense of transcendent transformation here, as he ascends to divinity - through what we now consider a taboo act - and this may hold more meaning today than it did at the time, since we're faced with a narrative we now see as criminal - for some a crime worse than murder... As you mentioned, for progress to occur, some norms, traditions & taboos must be broken, and it will be interesting to see how this manifests during Pluto's transit through Aquarius. I think we can surmise that some taboos will be broken & left by the wayside in furtherance of freedom & honesty (2 very Aquarian qualities) & the advancement of mankind you spoke about. I think this story may have been inspiring to Greek & Roman youths, to think that 'one of them' could ascent to Olympus & become a god, and aside from how we see Ganymede's 'ravishment', it seems like it would be an adolescent boy's dream to be 'best buddies' with a king, let alone the King of the Gods - and be on the 'team' of the Gods. Who needs football? Ganymede did however give up having a family or any semblance of a 'normal life' (Uranus dissuades from normality), which in the sense described here seems to fit the Aquarius paradigm of a personal sacrifice to the community, but what he gave them - Ambrosia - MADE THEM IMMORTAL - he controlled that. This seems analogous to a scientist or community representative, or politician - who serves, but holds the key to, the further development of Humanity... And although this is my first time here, I'm sure that this is no better than any other episodes...& no worse, right?😛
Hey Adam, just wanted to say that maybe those people who said you “got to a place you’re usually not capable of getting” are using the universal You… saying you’re able to get to new places in a world in which tends to be difficult to find new ways of seeing…much like breaking new ground in music (ie Nirvana) or a truly original type of storytelling. Just saying…I think your approach is unique & you seem open to new ways of thinking about the material, which is truly refreshing. As a Sun in Gemini, Pluto& Uranus in Libra in the 3rd House native, I feel qualified to say that 🙂
And as you mention Athena, I recall that I have Pallas Athena conjunct my Descendant in Aquarius. You just gave me something new to consider in this respect…
Prometheus then was the original “mansplainer”. This comment will likely piss off some readers, but Liz Green’s retelling of the myth says it all; Prometheus first learned the arts of astronomy, architecture, metallurgy, navigation, medicine and mathematics from the fully-formed-at-birth Goddess Athena. SHE arrives from the head/brain of the Sky Father Zeus….she is literally the best bits of himself, fully manifested….as a Goddess. SHE does not steal them from Zeus, she already possesses these gifts. SHE is the originator of these skills and knowledge but does SHE get any credit in the myth and in Ancient Greek mythology? Nope. It takes a male intervener to “mansplain” these powerful tools of civilization to humans. And true to form, HE gets/takes the credit for imparting these gifts of illumination to humans, and neglects to respect and honor the original source, the Goddess Athena. So here we have it, (Greek) humans reinforce their raising up of the male and completely cover over the supposed Source of this knowledge, the powerful aspect of the Feminine as strategist and container of true, civilizing wisdom. This glossing over of the powerful Feminine gets repeated every time we tell this story the old way. Every time we uphold the Ancient Greek archetypes as somehow the be-all and end-all of how to see ourselves. This is but one of the many tales Ancient Greek civilization used to reinforce the subjugation of the power and wisdom that comes from the Feminine. It begins right here. Let’s not let this aspect of the story go unnoticed.
Except Athena isn't the source of it...Zeus is...and taking direct credit or being in competition for the credit isn't fitting for Athena or for anyone opposed to masculine dominance issues...why not ask the question why would she teach Prometheus instead of teaching people herself....rather than just assuming the story is rooted in human design flaws...reading myth in this way, imho, is a mistake...but I do understand and appreciate your pov. It's just not the way I read mythology...
@@Adam-Elenbaas Very aquarian discourse with a pinch of virgo. I always liked Jung's presentation about both male and female humans having a potential balance of "animus" and "anima" within our individual psyches. Despite Jung being denigrated for some patriarchal bent, I gathered from his teachings his encouragement for all of us, male, female or whatever selected gender, to strive to consciously balance these energies in order to more fully individuate. It is very sad how the unconscious "animus" appears to be manifesting in human culture. I see this as part of the Uranus Pluto cycle with the first Uranus Pluto square since the 60's surfacing with the "crisis in action" making an attempt to crush the seed of the Uranus Pluto conjunction of the 60s from further growth. Very hopeful for the Uranus Pluto full moon opposition circa 2046.
True. It’s well known the ancient Greeks were a very patriarchal people. Look at how Hera, likely a powerful original mother Goddess demoted to a bitchy house wife to a philanderer, Persephone raped/kidnapped by Hades on Zeus’ order, ect. it’s all over their myths (the collective dream as Joesph Campbell once wrote)
I’m appreciating the conversation here. Athene may have sprung from Zeus’ head but once she became embodied, so to speak, she became the container for all that wisdom and knowledge, not Zeus. SHE becomes the holder of those gifts which “civilize” humanity thru the action of first teaching Prometheus who then passes on the teachings. But he gets the credit and the elevation in status so far as the myth is told and retold. The emphasis is on Prometheus as the heroic figure of action whereas the container of the wisdom is not valued much at all in this version of the myth. When we tell this myth as an archetypal truth, we reinforce the stereotypes UNCONSCIOUSLY as a society (there’s that word again! ). My point is this; imagine how very different history would have been had Athene received equal recognition for the power and skills she contained along WITH the action figure of Prometheus…. what would it be like for us if BOTH were responsible for the ‘enlightenment’ of humanity? Little girls would grow up feeling very differently about themselves if we had centuries of telling the myth that way. So the challenge becomes this; can Astrology remake itself into a system that reflects in its core archetypes a system of balanced powers, skills, gifts and responsibilities for what we collectively agree are principals of the Yang/masculine and Yin/feminine? Is that even possible using any ancient framework which, let’s face it, are nearly all soaked in the warped values of misogyny? It’s radical, I get that! We need better myths and we need ways to stop repeating these stories to our children who take them on as a roadmap to the way things are here. These are old archetypes in desperate need of makeovers otherwise we keep the underlying unequal distribution of power and values continuing to be imprinted on the collective.
Thank you Adam 🙏✨ I get this feeling of alienation and the "you think you're better than me" comments from just speaking about my values and ethical choices around being Vegan. As well as my practices of Astrology, yoga and Qigong. This talk was/is very helpful.
As an Aquarius sun I was really attempted to follow along given its relevance especially at this time with Pluto entering the sign, yet I found myself lost and confused by the reading and the subsequent explanation?Perhaps this requires deeper study rather than hope for a distilled synopsis. Thanks tho.
I’m a south node rising Aquarius- I feel Aquarians love ppl and humanity. Most human individuals are very self serving and that’s what annoys an Aquarius about individuals.
Aquarius may be the most difficult sign for me to deal with, which was hard to understand. Wasn't the Age of Aquarius supposed to be a good thing?! Thank you for exploring this archetypally, and everything else too. Bring back archetypes!!! I feel it's a very Aquarian sense of shame which has buried their wisdom, trying to civilize us ASAP. A rush job!! And just look around at the results. p.s. Hope you don't waste any more time on commenters who try to "neg" you!
I thought us libras had it bad! Some have even theorized the whole group on The Good Place (tv show) must be libras. Oh, we're all so deep & misunderstood!
Adam often says he doesn't consider the modern outer planets in the context of sign rulership, is there a video where he goes into how he feels these planets fit into the zodiac, and what, if any, relationship they have with the signs? And if not, maybe he could make a video about that? It's certainly a topic I would like some clarity about, and hearing Adam's take specifically would be nice. 😊
Thanks for your foods of thoughts🙏 Prometheus might have foresight, but apparently he didnt have the foresight to see the clash with Zeus coming. As such for foresight I say Saturn-Shani dev or Kronos so you will Personally I mostly vibe with the vedic stories. Might be cuze i have Saturn at 1.11 degrees on the ascendant birthday as is today becoming 50 LOL With many greetings Namaste
Weird, i didn't steal fire, i didn't know it existed and was disconnected from my own source and when one of them tried tapping into my secret supply to steal it from me, all the previous stolen which was obviously the spirits of my ancestors instantly transfered through my spine and up out my head and changed everything.
THIS was breathtakingly epic 💥🔥💥🔥💥 Would my Aquarius n/node rubbed off this strong sense of resonance 🤔 WoW 😯 I have Pluto at 29% in Virgo 🤔 Sag rising, 8th/Cancer moon & 12th/Scorpio stellium 1st/Neptune 0 degrees 🤷🏼♀️ Curiosity is killing this cat 🥴
My experience was with like 10000 hrs of DXM. Some of my stories are the most beautiful things I've ever experienced and yet when I share with others they turn up their nose or laugh. Only a few have ever responded with the awe of understanding the depth of these experiences.
Wow! There's my thought! 😃 Actually I came across that years ago and I pondered it, it's like instead of one being in a classroom and going up the levels within the curriculum, the class and the class room would be constantly transforming like morphing around you? So say you were learning to drive a car but the car was a transformer? As a matter of interest does that make any sense to you? Obviously house and sign may help be more specific and perspective as well, have a fun day! ;D
I've had Pluto in my 1st house since 2008 ... All I can say is , don't fear pluto, there's going to be huges transformations within you. The old you will be gone ,the new you will be born. Pluto conjunct Saturn is an intense combination. In the first house it is part of your identity, and if it is within 10 degrees of the Ascendant, it is a very prominent part of your life story. Some would call it part of your life purpose. Regardless, if it is within 10 degrees of the Rising, it will be out there for everyone to see and feel, especially when they’re in the room with you. Historically, Saturn-Pluto alignments have coincided with profound social transformation often through contraction, crisis, war, cold war. Last year in 2020, Saturn and Pluto were conjunct along with Jupiter which amped it up to the max, making 2020 an era-changing time. In a personal chart, you have the work of transforming (Pluto) systems of power, control, judgment, and the social order (Saturn). People who rise to the challenge develop incredible fortitude, endurance in the face of insurmountable odds, moral discernment, and courage. Challenges include the need to face the collective shadows of nihilism, meaninglessness, cold-heartedness, and despair-the Dark Night of the Soul .
The ostracization of the aquarius archetype & the very little patience for humans and their bullshit is literally the biggest emphasis on my life story with the aquarius 4th house lol. Obviously doesn't have to be but still.....in this way of desiring improvement with every aspect of life, being alienated constantly for better ideas of ways things can be better. Whew Liz Greene is preaching to the choir 😩 Edit: I forgot "higher ways" of thinking, obviously using that hella loosely folks
Great way!!!!....to interpreted ....!!!!transits! In so interested !!..... pluto in entering! New sing! ♒♒acuarios!!..... in the 10the house ....!also enter conjucion sun& pluto acuario ♒♒....Seeding the house with a trine n same grade with a cressent moon🌛🌛🌛...... in taurus ♉♉ on the comining weekend 19to 21... January!!!🙏
So beautiful! I would love to better understand your thoughts on the difference between Imminence and Transcendence... I understand the definitions of both words but don't feel I understand the contrast.
Adam: "Do you know what I mean? Sun in Aquarius me: "Yuuuuuup! I know what you mean😊 It's interesting that you mentioned that "backhanded compliment." I actually did some light research about them awhile back, and although it is a little painful to admit that I have not only done it to others but also to myself! Being aware of it now and where it stems from has been helpful for me 😊. Thank you for this episode, Adam. I appreciate it
Adam, it's extremely disheartening to be left out because I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and into Astrology. I've always felt that I didn't belong and have heavy natal Chiron in the 11th along with Lilith, I am a Pisces Sun, Gemini Rising, Aquarius Venus and Libra Moon making me a Libra Signature = Air. The only thing that makes me happy is helping others.
I am just now discovering the beauty of reiki. It has nearly healed my friend in 8 weeks, of about 30 years of C-PTSD and bipolar 1. Keep up what you are doing, you have been laying the groundwork upon which the future will be built 💚💚💚
While Liz Greene can be insightful, I’ve always found it difficult to agree with her perspective. Her book on Saturn is groundbreaking. But the rest of her work has not been able to inform my practice of Astrology the way I imagined it would. I’m usually informed by the works of Rob Hand, Stephen Arroyo, and Steve Forrest. And, of course, Dane Rudyard.
Maybe those comments „….that you are normally not capable of…“ are from people wo speak ESL (like me) and it triggers your theme of „needing to live up to the expectations of others/or your own“ I find you to be brilliant and thank god not always the same but sometimes ecstatic. Thats when I see little flames coming out of your mouth😅🎉
I have 0° mercury in aquarius in the 10th house 😅 can anyone help me and tell me what this means? I'm a Taurus ♉🐂 ⬆️ thanks in advance if anyone can help 🙏

Woooow.....yes!!! So good. As an artist, this resonates deeply. Being a loner has been an an M.O. in life.
Yes...so true. You can't relate to those groups.
I'm an Aquarius south Node.
Here's a silly saying about aquarius: "Aquarians love humanity, yet can't stand individual humans" Yup, there is an element of truth here!
Definitely true!
True! Let me add another saying: the revolution devours its own children.
We have seen that manifold times in history. Some presumably well-minded people free humanity from the clutches of their suppressors and poverty which then has to follow the ideology of their so called liberators.
Rick Levine said aquarius loves humanity, it's the humans that suck
I'm an Aqua Sun, Mercury and Saturn and my brother says to me "As a citizen of the world (I'm known for my humanitarian views) you're not too fond of people"
Hehehe
Never truer words were spoken ! My experience of life as an Aquarius 🌞 ✨
I so needed to hear this! The alienation I feel for my exploration of consciousness and self-development endeavors. Yes, it makes others feel like I think I'm superior. And it is lonely! The struggle of "helping" to keep from feeling lonely and disconnected, but also a type of guilt to compensate for the gap of being perceived as "elitist." Ah, the confusion! This year, my motto has been "embracing my humanness." While I continue to set goals to explore, learn, and grow I no longer do it to "fix" myself or others, but to improve my relationship to others, integrating head and heart! And helping us all to relate to each other the same. I appreciate Carl Jung's work, ironically. And I am a fan of Liz Greene....I have that book, but haven't really dug into it yet. It was a hard read starting out, but I'm inspired to go back to it.
Thank you, Adam!!
Great analysis Adam! With aquarius as my ascendant, you just nailed the driving force of my being in your talk today. The purpose and the meaning of everything is to evolve the human heart and mind, somehow.
Since early childhood it has mattered, and it's fairly solitary. Seems to threaten others too. Which has been heartbreaking, when you value 'only goodness for all'! There's the irony. Need for practical wisdom and mature, strategic navigation.
The Caucusas Mountains- it’s a mountain range in Asia Minor. Prometheus was said to be chained to Mt. Erebus, the largest mountain of the chain.
So good to hear someone talk so clearly about the ruthlessness of Aquarius. An Aquarian not wedded to honesty I stay away from. They can make the pride of Leo look kitten like
"Just imagine your potential" such a double-edged sword thing to say...
Pluto in Aqua began on the day Chat gpt went public
I think AI tech is going to EXPLODE when Pluto starts to make the full transit. It will change EVERYTHING
This is profound!! Thank you! My moon is at 5 degrees of Aquarius in my 1st house. So much of this resonated so deep! I definitely see and feel the potential of humanity, but I continue to feel burdened because we aren’t there yet. It’s almost like seeing everyone at the soul level and continually being broken-hearted over their humanity. And the loneliness hit deep. It’s very very difficult for people to relate to me. Plant diets have definitely helped me anchor into my Aquarius frequency, and as time goes on, I find people that can hold space for me, but they are few, and for that, I cherish them beyond measure. 💜
I'm an Aqua sun and Venus and I relate to this deeply. Yet I feel so divided... Maybe its Uranus conjunct Saturn in my chart.. but I can understand how the gods could be upset with prometheus. I just look around today and see there is information, practices and ancient secrets in the hands of the unworthy, because all they want is just "to know" and have power. They don't give credit to the gods or the Divine, they don't care about working in harmony within an ordered system of many different parts/aspects. Also the power is being misused. This disrupts a divine system and order. Plus the arrogance of man and how they take what was GIVEN them and act like it was theirs all along...
Its like, you don't give certain powers to beasts and those who are destructive. The sacred (sacred fire) has been profaned I feel.
Some say we aren't here to learn, maybe not animal man, but those who fell from their original state have much to learn. There is a lesson in Aquarius (the spiritual man/christ aka the prodigal son) ... through isolation we learn this lesson. Through alienation we learn this lesson. Through the increase in foreign like technology and robots, AWAY from nature and the natural, away from love, away from the Divine ... there is a lesson.
I understand what you are saying about alienation. It must be a hard idea to express because you’re not saying that you’re better than other people but it is true that one participates in extravivular topics like divination, spiritual life, or altered states of consciousness, to be a better person.
It can be a hard line to draw sometimes between thinking you’re better than others and thinking you are better than you were but also that you were like others before you got better.
It’s only offensive by the transitive property and not an insult I promise.
But even the attempt to explain that is itself alienating. Alienation itself is alienating in its way because most normal people don’t know what it’s like not to be most normal people.
For me this is super easy though with sun and ascendanct ruler in Aqua in the 4th I have no problem being weird on other people’s behalf. Can’t wait for Pluto to hit Aquarius I’m super excited!!
@8.36 Hey Adam - the "you" they are using is the "social you" - which translates as I (just like a lot you people out there) are not capable of going ON MY OWN but it's ok because I am part of the you that also is not capable of going there on their own. Hope this makes sense?? Not a backward compliment. A PURE compliment. So basically it's not always about you YOU 🥰
The comment about coming out of the cave and going back in resonated with me today, as I just returned from a full day of exploring Harriet Tubman sites on the Eastern Shore. And I am so in line with what you related about the shadow side of a drive for betterment being an intolerance for what is. I wrestle through it in myself constantly.
Fascinating.❤❤❤maybe that’s why we are fringe dwellers.
Thank you!!! Loved when you talked about how and why we can feel alienated.
It is wonderful to hear you laughing.
Another awesome and thought provoking video. Made me laugh when you spoke of receiving back handed 'compliments' because I think you consistently provide great videos with unique, fun and accessible info. I can honestly say that for me you do meet your potential (although I suppose I have no real idea of your potential). I always appreciate your humour and honesty and your own personal examples. Thank you
Thank you Adam. Your insights on this topic are just splendid and so enriching ! ❤❤ I am Aquarius by Sun with strong Saturn and Uranus. It’s as if you’ve been talking on my behalf… but much more brilliantly and eloquently 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh Adam! Spot on! You’re in my head 😂🙏❤️ My Aquarian Moon so connects with this unpacking!! I have often thought about the teaching of the prisoners in the cave within myself wanting to help but rolling in turmoil inside with caution. Add in my natal signature of a Mercury/Pluto 3rd house person and Pluto moving out of my 7H and relating to the other, left and right I feel constantly misunderstood or alienated. So comforting Adam! Somedays I just want to run away to astrology Island aka ISAR or the like where people get me 🦄
And then I know we are all here to integrate and learn and grow from each other in Earth School, Om Mani Padme Hum 🙏
Thank you!!
Great episode as they all are ☺️🙏❤️ Happy Astrology Day yesterday and Happy Equinox! Also #grabbed Mars is about to go into my 1st house and I can’t get enough red, lipstick, nail polish, (not typically) hair, clothing and contemplating my first tattoo

I appreciate your references on Astrology books as well!
Very interesting exploration of archetypal factors. The information is presented so quickly that I would like to delve deeper so as to better understand the subtleties involved in the interaction of the archetypes, both pure mythologically as well as astrologically. Thank you.
Wow! beautiful, powerful meditation! i need to come back to this. thank you!
Not quite a Pluto in Aquarius #grabbed but a last moments of Pluto in Capricorn - clearly illustrating Saturn’s tendency to say NO and how fundamentally frustrating that is when it comes to the power we have over our own life. Pluto.
On every journey I have taken in the last few days I have been foiled getting to my destination with ease. I’ve comes across a number of road blocks which have meant I’ve had to return the way I came and find another route, I’ve been almost at the point of running out of petrol and unable to reach the petrol station because of one way roads and no right turns. The best was yesterday when after going the wrong way and having to turn around I finally found the lane I needed and saw there was a stop sign saying the road was closed. I retraced all my steps and found another route and found it was also blocked. My friend, who I was dropping off for an important meeting which he was now late for, got out and went and asked in a nearby house. It turned out he needed to be just the other side of the road block and the first route we took was the right one that would have got us to the door!
So he got there in the end but had to drag his luggage the final 100 yards on foot.
Pluto in my fourth house of Capricorn which houses my sun, Mercury and IC and opposes my natal Saturn has been a mountain to climb that was perfectly illustrated by the journeys of the last few days. I’m grateful to have reached the end of that journey (or at least a brief pause) and am looking forward to the next.
I have the sun & Mercury in my ascendant of Aquarius ♒️ that tension is always there within me as in being an individual & what's best for the group which can hamper progress but also very inspiring & rewarding on both sides of the coin, thank you Adam
Extremely interesting! Thank you for your time in sharing your profound insights….
Yah, Adam. Yah - i truly hear ya
So I want myself as well as humanity to evolve, transform and grow to become better in the future but at the same time I don’t want to get held up in judging an idea that we are not already evolving now while at the same time I don’t want to get stuck in judging any past experiences, while also realizing that the now present moment is perfect and innocent in the truth of who, what and where we currently are. It feels like a non-doing nature but at the same time it feels like a very fluid movement, a delicate, graceful and eloquent ballet dance that is happening in every now moment between spirit, humanity and earth. So the middle balanced half way point is where we want to be. Shout out to Libra 🙂
I have 3rd h. Sun in ♒ opposing Mars, Saturn and Pluto in 9th. I mention this to show why I really relate to your discussion about stealing fire (consciousness) from the gods and the feeling of alienation. (I have Uranus in the 7th trine Sun.) I have felt like an outsider my whole life. I've explored many 3rd/9th house activities such as astrology, religion (usually their mystical side), and depth psychology. I always appreciate it when I find a kindred soul. Thank you for discussing this issue, especially with Pluto ingressing ♒
Messie Jessie here with a PSA about being careful with the rejection of the mess. If your hair is a mess, you can clean it up, cut it, fix it, but the alternative is no hair. Just an example, but there is no margins or compartmentalization or organization or boundaries, so if it annoys the people who don't want their peas to touch the mashed potatoes, imagine how exhausting it is to live that constantly with the hate and countless hours spent trying to make it functional to then try to society, only to have made a bigger mess.
Great Video Adam!
Saturn in Aquarius was in my 4 th- it was intense, my mom died, my pet died, I lost all the possessions in my house, I moved house 3 times- and I wasn’t just staying with people, it was full move, damage deposits, cleaning, leases etc- 3 TIMES, I’m utterly exhausted.
The good news is that this final house is absolutely beautiful, reasonably priced, great landlords and I’ll likely stay here a long time.
But I’m no longer getting any pets, it’s too painful to lose them, and I’m an extreme minimalist now - I barely have any possessions in my house, zero clutter
Adam, thank you for this video and all of your videos. I haven't watched them all, but you're insight has been very useful to me in trying to understand this thing we call life. Kudos and keep it up!
I'd like to throw out an interesting thought on the topic of Aquarius and the endearment to the Ganymede archetype.
Do you see correlation with the idea that Aquarius, represented as Uranus, and Aries, represented as Mars, are connected through transit at least, through Pisces, represented as Jupiter? Put another way, the ascended one is connected to the newborn through love?
I have Ic, Moon, NN, Mercury in Aqua, I look to my Saturn & Ceres in Taurus trine Venus & Vesta in Cap for grounding feminine energy. Thank you, spot on!
Thank you!
I am enjoying this lecture so much , thank you
Thank you Adam❤
I am old, born in 1945, my generation is the first in a long time to live in a time when we may experience Pluto opposite Pluto. For me, if I live a bit longer, Pluto will conjunct my Sun and oppose his birth placement. To me, Uranus does rule my Son, in part because they are in trine aspects. Actually my Aquarius Son is trine both Uranus and Neptune and in opposition to Pluto. Being a Full Moon person, Pluto is conjunct my Leo Moon. These placements form a kite configuration. I have read Liz Greene book you read from many times. She is one of my favorite Astrologers.😊
Hi, Good Friend. The compliment joke was HILARIOUS 😢. What you have dropped on that particular individual was far above his understanding.
P.S. His ark is not serving its purpose.
Perhaps the construction 🚧 hasn't been initiated😮😢.
SORRY TO THAT FELLOW. I will APOLOGIZE FOR
him.
Thanks Adam, it was amazing, as always! 😎😎
As an Aquarius in this culture it is only alienating that ideas like no war and the love and care for all beings is considered radical.
I dont think critics see it as a bad idea as much as an unrealistic and ungrounded one...not saying I feel that way...but as someone who grew up in a family of Aquarians...at times I did find the idealism sort of intolerant and ironically narrow! But all signs have shadow sides...and gifts!
I need to know how much of this is true because I have Uranus on the AC (one degree into my 12th house), and I say things about society that no one listens to, and then I hear them reappear like 6 months later coming from the mouth of someone else after they've been absorbed "into the ether". I never know if I should give them up as gifts to the universe or demand that I be given credit for them, especially because this is affecting my ability to move up at work.
So, the energy of Aquarius represents a love/hate relationship with man... start over or help us evolve. This Leo wants to evolve! 😏
Heracles ends up freeing Prometheus as one of his Labors
Thank you
My understanding of the myth behind Aquarius is basically the story of Zeus (Jupiter) & Ganymede, so through the entirety of this talk I was viewing it through that lens, and it seems to be incredibly important due to the fairly widespread taboo (PLUTO??) perspective with which we view that type of relationship in modern times. In particular there seems to be a mirroring of a similar issue today in regard to the Trans movement, but mostly having to do with the gender roles we may see in that story, as well as the realization that minors sometimes have more psychologically elaborate gender/sexual paradigms unfolding than some people are comfortable with today.
So much of what you were discussing fits right into the Ganymede story - the progression through this narrative may begin with a perceived taboo relationship, a seemingly earthy, sensual 'tawdry', base occurrence that could be considered a rape. We may think to pity him, but we should be aware of what he, like many others of that era, gained from this kind of relationship.
Like Prometheus, who served Mankind, Ganymede served the Gods and became a deity himself with their respect for his reportedly immense beauty, which they would have the pleasure of beholding daily. There is a sense of transcendent transformation here, as he ascends to divinity - through what we now consider a taboo act - and this may hold more meaning today than it did at the time, since we're faced with a narrative we now see as criminal - for some a crime worse than murder...
As you mentioned, for progress to occur, some norms, traditions & taboos must be broken, and it will be interesting to see how this manifests during Pluto's transit through Aquarius. I think we can surmise that some taboos will be broken & left by the wayside in furtherance of freedom & honesty (2 very Aquarian qualities) & the advancement of mankind you spoke about.
I think this story may have been inspiring to Greek & Roman youths, to think that 'one of them' could ascent to Olympus & become a god, and aside from how we see Ganymede's 'ravishment', it seems like it would be an adolescent boy's dream to be 'best buddies' with a king, let alone the King of the Gods - and be on the 'team' of the Gods. Who needs football?
Ganymede did however give up having a family or any semblance of a 'normal life' (Uranus dissuades from normality), which in the sense described here seems to fit the Aquarius paradigm of a personal sacrifice to the community, but what he gave them - Ambrosia - MADE THEM IMMORTAL - he controlled that. This seems analogous to a scientist or community representative, or politician - who serves, but holds the key to, the further development of Humanity...
And although this is my first time here, I'm sure that this is no better than any other episodes...& no worse, right?😛
Ohhhh wow. This. Im going to have to listen to this one again. Hello. Me. Wow.
“Like daaaaaamn” 😂😂😂😂!!!
The gods need us for energy.
The reading was too fast for me and I couldnt grasp everything that was read. But still loved the episode. Very enriching. Thank you!
Hopefully it marks an age that's not so heavily emotional, the watery delusional qualities of Pisces is leaving us drenched in psychosis
Hey Adam, just wanted to say that maybe those people who said you “got to a place you’re usually not capable of getting” are using the universal You… saying you’re able to get to new places in a world in which tends to be difficult to find new ways of seeing…much like breaking new ground in music (ie Nirvana) or a truly original type of storytelling. Just saying…I think your approach is unique & you seem open to new ways of thinking about the material, which is truly refreshing. As a Sun in Gemini, Pluto& Uranus in Libra in the 3rd House native, I feel qualified to say that 🙂
And as you mention Athena, I recall that I have Pallas Athena conjunct my Descendant in Aquarius. You just gave me something new to consider in this respect…
So many dots connected from this. Thank you!
Sooo good! 👏
Prometheus then was the original “mansplainer”.
This comment will likely piss off some readers, but Liz Green’s retelling of the myth says it all; Prometheus first learned the arts of astronomy, architecture, metallurgy, navigation, medicine and mathematics from the fully-formed-at-birth Goddess Athena. SHE arrives from the head/brain of the Sky Father Zeus….she is literally the best bits of himself, fully manifested….as a Goddess. SHE does not steal them from Zeus, she already possesses these gifts. SHE is the originator of these skills and knowledge but does SHE get any credit in the myth and in Ancient Greek mythology? Nope. It takes a male intervener to “mansplain” these powerful tools of civilization to humans. And true to form, HE gets/takes the credit for imparting these gifts of illumination to humans, and neglects to respect and honor the original source, the Goddess Athena.
So here we have it, (Greek) humans reinforce their raising up of the male and completely cover over the supposed Source of this knowledge, the powerful aspect of the Feminine as strategist and container of true, civilizing wisdom. This glossing over of the powerful Feminine gets repeated every time we tell this story the old way. Every time we uphold the Ancient Greek archetypes as somehow the be-all and end-all of how to see ourselves.
This is but one of the many tales Ancient Greek civilization used to reinforce the subjugation of the power and wisdom that comes from the Feminine. It begins right here. Let’s not let this aspect of the story go unnoticed.
Except Athena isn't the source of it...Zeus is...and taking direct credit or being in competition for the credit isn't fitting for Athena or for anyone opposed to masculine dominance issues...why not ask the question why would she teach Prometheus instead of teaching people herself....rather than just assuming the story is rooted in human design flaws...reading myth in this way, imho, is a mistake...but I do understand and appreciate your pov. It's just not the way I read mythology...
@@Adam-Elenbaas Very aquarian discourse with a pinch of virgo. I always liked Jung's presentation about both male and female humans having a potential balance of "animus" and "anima" within our individual psyches. Despite Jung being denigrated for some patriarchal bent, I gathered from his teachings his encouragement for all of us, male, female or whatever selected gender, to strive to consciously balance these energies in order to more fully individuate. It is very sad how the unconscious "animus" appears to be manifesting in human culture. I see this as part of the Uranus Pluto cycle with the first Uranus Pluto square since the 60's surfacing with the "crisis in action" making an attempt to crush the seed of the Uranus Pluto conjunction of the 60s from further growth. Very hopeful for the Uranus Pluto full moon opposition circa 2046.
True. It’s well known the ancient Greeks were a very patriarchal people. Look at how Hera,
likely a powerful original mother Goddess demoted to a bitchy house wife to a philanderer, Persephone raped/kidnapped by Hades on Zeus’ order, ect. it’s all over their myths (the collective dream as Joesph Campbell once wrote)
Agree with all said from the various perspect and would like to note that it doesn’t “end happily” for Prometheus/Ganymede.
I’m appreciating the conversation here. Athene may have sprung from Zeus’ head but once she became embodied, so to speak, she became the container for all that wisdom and knowledge, not Zeus. SHE becomes the holder of those gifts which “civilize” humanity thru the action of first teaching Prometheus who then passes on the teachings. But he gets the credit and the elevation in status so far as the myth is told and retold. The emphasis is on Prometheus as the heroic figure of action whereas the container of the wisdom is not valued much at all in this version of the myth. When we tell this myth as an archetypal truth, we reinforce the stereotypes UNCONSCIOUSLY as a society (there’s that word again! ). My point is this; imagine how very different history would have been had Athene received equal recognition for the power and skills she contained along WITH the action figure of Prometheus…. what would it be like for us if BOTH were responsible for the ‘enlightenment’ of humanity? Little girls would grow up feeling very differently about themselves if we had centuries of telling the myth that way.
So the challenge becomes this; can Astrology remake itself into a system that reflects in its core archetypes a system of balanced powers, skills, gifts and responsibilities for what we collectively agree are principals of the Yang/masculine and Yin/feminine? Is that even possible using any ancient framework which, let’s face it, are nearly all soaked in the warped values of misogyny? It’s radical, I get that! We need better myths and we need ways to stop repeating these stories to our children who take them on as a roadmap to the way things are here. These are old archetypes in desperate need of makeovers otherwise we keep the underlying unequal distribution of power and values continuing to be imprinted on the collective.
Peace Be With You Adam😊
This Aquarius feels.. like I just had a therapy session.
Thank you Adam 🙏✨ I get this feeling of alienation and the "you think you're better than me" comments from just speaking about my values and ethical choices around being Vegan. As well as my practices of Astrology, yoga and Qigong. This talk was/is very helpful.
As an Aquarius sun I was really attempted to follow along given its relevance especially at this time with Pluto entering the sign, yet I found myself lost and confused by the reading and the subsequent explanation?Perhaps this requires deeper study rather than hope for a distilled synopsis. Thanks tho.
Do the people who did the early bird rate get a discount on future courses? I should have waited!
I’m a south node rising Aquarius-
I feel Aquarians love ppl and humanity. Most human individuals are very self serving and that’s what annoys an Aquarius about individuals.
Aquarius may be the most difficult sign for me to deal with, which was hard to understand. Wasn't the Age of Aquarius supposed to be a good thing?! Thank you for exploring this archetypally, and everything else too. Bring back archetypes!!! I feel it's a very Aquarian sense of shame which has buried their wisdom, trying to civilize us ASAP. A rush job!! And just look around at the results.
p.s. Hope you don't waste any more time on commenters who try to "neg" you!
Aquarius is so fixed..future focused..😂hard for me too, but saw post today the most misunderstood archetypes are Taurus, Scorpio, Sagittarius..😂
I thought us libras had it bad! Some have even theorized the whole group on The Good Place (tv show) must be libras. Oh, we're all so deep & misunderstood!
Adam often says he doesn't consider the modern outer planets in the context of sign rulership, is there a video where he goes into how he feels these planets fit into the zodiac, and what, if any, relationship they have with the signs? And if not, maybe he could make a video about that? It's certainly a topic I would like some clarity about, and hearing Adam's take specifically would be nice. 😊
Thanks for your foods of thoughts🙏
Prometheus might have foresight, but apparently he didnt have the foresight to see the clash with Zeus coming. As such for foresight I say Saturn-Shani dev or Kronos so you will
Personally I mostly vibe with the vedic stories. Might be cuze i have Saturn at 1.11 degrees on the ascendant birthday as is today becoming 50 LOL With many greetings Namaste
Weird, i didn't steal fire, i didn't know it existed and was disconnected from my own source and when one of them tried tapping into my secret supply to steal it from me, all the previous stolen which was obviously the spirits of my ancestors instantly transfered through my spine and up out my head and changed everything.
THIS was breathtakingly

Would my Aquarius n/node rubbed off this strong sense of resonance 🤔
WoW 😯

Curiosity is killing this cat 🥴
My experience was with like 10000 hrs of DXM. Some of my stories are the most beautiful things I've ever experienced and yet when I share with others they turn up their nose or laugh. Only a few have ever responded with the awe of understanding the depth of these experiences.
5:00- yes me neither!
I am just wondering any thoughts on Pluto and Saturn both being in the first house?
Wow! There's my thought! 😃 Actually I came across that years ago and I pondered it, it's like instead of one being in a classroom and going up the levels within the curriculum, the class and the class room would be constantly transforming like morphing around you? So say you were learning to drive a car but the car was a transformer? As a matter of interest does that make any sense to you? Obviously house and sign may help be more specific and perspective as well, have a fun day! ;D
I've had Pluto in my 1st house since 2008 ...
All I can say is , don't fear pluto, there's going to be huges transformations within you.
The old you will be gone ,the new you will be born.
Pluto conjunct Saturn is an intense combination. In the first house it is part of your identity, and if it is within 10 degrees of the Ascendant, it is a very prominent part of your life story. Some would call it part of your life purpose. Regardless, if it is within 10 degrees of the Rising, it will be out there for everyone to see and feel, especially when they’re in the room with you. Historically, Saturn-Pluto alignments have coincided with profound social transformation often through contraction, crisis, war, cold war. Last year in 2020, Saturn and Pluto were conjunct along with Jupiter which amped it up to the max, making 2020 an era-changing time. In a personal chart, you have the work of transforming (Pluto) systems of power, control, judgment, and the social order (Saturn). People who rise to the challenge develop incredible fortitude, endurance in the face of insurmountable odds, moral discernment, and courage. Challenges include the need to face the collective shadows of nihilism, meaninglessness, cold-heartedness, and despair-the Dark Night of the Soul .

The ostracization of the aquarius archetype & the very little patience for humans and their bullshit is literally the biggest emphasis on my life story with the aquarius 4th house lol.

It's interesting that you mentioned that "backhanded compliment." I actually did some light research about them awhile back, and although it is a little painful to admit that I have not only done it to others but also to myself! Being aware of it now and where it stems from has been helpful for me 😊.

Adam, it's extremely disheartening to be left out because I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and into Astrology.

Epimethuis was the husband of Pandora
While Liz Greene can be insightful, I’ve always found it difficult to agree with her perspective. Her book on Saturn is groundbreaking. But the rest of her work has not been able to inform my practice of Astrology the way I imagined it would. I’m usually informed by the works of Rob Hand, Stephen Arroyo, and Steve Forrest. And, of course, Dane Rudyard.
