Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Sagittarius from 7:34 am on January 27 to 9:09 am on January 29, 2022. This is a combination of radical dismantling of all absolute truths. What animates Aquarius and Sagittarius is the insatiable and incessant search for truth, which presupposes the open struggle against any ultimate “truth” that claims to put an end to this search.
“Never assume that you have attained truth” points out the Advaita spiritual master Mooji (born with Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Sagittarius), “Don’t make any claim to knowledge. Form no conclusion or evaluation concerning truth. The minute you do, your downfall is assured. Whenever you imagine you know something, you cease being open to the living exploration. You have closed a door and cut off the oxygen to the breathing truth”.
In the end, the most obvious truth is that “there is a part of the psychological mind that is reluctant to partake in any investigation that may expose its inevitable non-existence”. A well-known Mooji’s exercise is to recognize your existence through the feeling of “I am” or “I exist” and be with it for some minutes at a time. Another exercise involves the awareness that you are earlier than anything that is perceivable. It follows that anything that you perceive cannot be what you are. All thoughts and sensations, all phenomena, come and go. “Notice that you are primarily this perceiving. The computer (of the mind) is on but you don’t log in. Simply look. You will gradually come to experience an immensity of Being”.
Says the Duchess, in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (born with Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Sagittarius): “If you’d like it, put more simply – Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise”.
You do many things in life, you work, play, talk, walk, relate to other individuals, and so on. Everything you do is related to your identity, so it makes no sense if you don’t understand who you are. In order to find out whom you really are, at every level, you need to free yourself from what others believe, or want, you to be.
“We can’t do anything authentically until we find out who we really are and be that person, inside and out, instead of the person other people want us to be. Usually those other people, if they want us to be something we aren’t, are using us as a laboratory for working out their own identity problems” writes Thomas M. Disch (born with Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Sagittarius).
And this is where the key game of life is played, the recovery of our identity through the dissolution of any other identity assumed to please others as well as to compensate for the inability to understand one’s true identity.
