The Span of Defensiveness — The 1st Hemisphere of Aquarius
Phase 303
Air Element — Fixed
The formula is: manipulating-ideal-ingenious-specializing-physical-receptive.
Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:
Aquarius 3° A deserter from the navy
This is a symbol of human independence carried to a point of extreme rebellion against things as they are, here emphasized in a disregard of all consequences for the sake of an immediate liberation of the spirit. There is a demand for a more rewarding expression of individuality, and the reversed symbolism suggests that any late acceptance of full and personal responsibility for life is better than none at all. Except as man creates his own allegiances, his destiny holds no depth.
The keyword is DEFIANCE.
When positive, the degree is genuine psychological courage in a repudiation of all meaningless loyalties, and when negative, complete inability to follow the rules of any game.
Bridge Of Light — P!nk
Just when you think hope is lost
And giving up is all you got,
Blue turns black,
Your confidence is cracked,
There seems no turning back from here.
Sometimes there isn’t an obvious explanation
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
That’s when you can build a bridge of light…
With All My Heart
The holiest of hearts? Okay, folks, today’s not about a heart divided.
Today’s not about a cup half-full or half-empty.
Today’s not about talking out of two sides of our mouths at the same time.
Today the left hand knows what the right hand is doing.
Today is not bluffing.
Today you’ve decided —
Today there is no more duality.
Today you will defy something — something that isn’t you…
That something stops right here and right now.
That is, if you would be an undivided whole–a holy heart.
