I found these quotes on Sun in Aquarius from a book on sun signs
"Aquarius according to modern astrologer, is ruled by Uranus, the planet of initiative and orginality. The symbol of Aquarius is the Water bearer , why water, since aquarius is an air sign ? The reason is that water in ancient times symblized life and spiritual baptism. The true gift of Aquarius is to inspire the understanding that man's highest duty is to serve as a vessel, merely for higher truths.
If you sun is in Aquarius , you seek to impress your authority on others by impressing upon them your own vision of universal law. From this central trait spring the many subtle ramnifications of your own complex personality, one that can be simultaneously socialble, yet innerly a loner; given to chronic worry, yet innerly strong in faith; dogmatic , yet innerly fair and open minded; progressive , yet innerly closed to new ideas; humanitarian, yet innerly perhaps the most impersonal of the twelve signs.
You combine in your nature the broad vision of Sagittarius with the attentiveness to detail of Virgo. A perfect balance of these traits , liberally seasoned with the rarest of human qualities, wisdom, will place you among the greatest humankind- as a person of deep vision, with the capacity to transform high thoughts into practical action.
Few people realize a clearly as you do the necessity for compromise between a given ideal and its practical applications. Fewer people still are willing to see themselves as mere benefeciaries of that ideal- to be befriended for instance because you believe in freidnship , rather than because you believe in them. Your friendly nature leads some people to feel that you are more bound to them , personally than you really are.
Duty is your true God, your sense of duty to your own abstract vision of truth , your sense of duty to bring people and things into harmony with that vision. Since wisdom is a rare gift your field of vision may embrace very much less than the universe. Since tact is rare virtue, your efforts to harmonize people with your own ideals may amount only to meddling in their affairs. On the highest levels , Aquarius gifts of inner grace can manifest itself outwardly in the purest kinds of humanitarian love.
Aquarius , because of their wish to objectify their inner ideals are often gregarious. Their focus , however is less on the people they mix with than on the abstract sense of rightness that causes them to be socialble. Inside Aquarians tend to feel quite alone in the world. Because of their wish to bring people and things into line with their own values, Aquarians are often progressive, innovative and original. It would be a mistake , however to expect them to be as open to the ideas of others as their liberal attitude suggests.
If you are an Aquarian, it would be well for you always to try to see yourself in impersonal light as you see the rest of the world. For while abstraction comes easily to you, normal human egoism may prevent you from including the subject -you- in your view of objective reality. You can be impartial to everyone else, yet yourself be deeply hurt by every unintended or imagined slight.
Probably you have made many attempts in your lifetime to become more personal in your friendship with others, if only because you know they expect it of you. Just as probably your efforts have ended in failure. Just when you thought that you were getting really close to people, your strong sense of duty blurred your focus of intimacy. You may as well face it, your real key to happiness lies in becoming truly impersonal, in surrendering your own ego , too, into the Infinite Reality and opening yourself ot becoming a pure instrument for divine grace. In this way the Law will work through you perfectly, uplifting others even without any conscious effort on your own part.
It is necessary for you to work in some way for the wellfare of others, for otherwise your inner perceptions will lose touch with reality. But the more you develop spiritually, the more you will discover that to serve truly is not to see oneself as the server. Strive always to broaden your vision of truth. Don't stunt your spiritual growth with dogmatism. Above all see God acting through you. See him in all men , in all things. Realize that, pervading the universe, there is but One Reality. Live more and more in that blissful awareness.
You particularly as an air sign. and anyone else who finds this practice attractive, might sit calmly and vision yourself surrounded by infinite space. Gaze mentally millions of miles to the left of you, to the right, to the front, behind, beneath. Gaze within yourself and see there too, an infinity of space. Shunya the hindus call it, nothingness. Soar lightly in this infinite void, freer than any bird.
Then slowly , from your own inner center, exapnd outward in all directions to infinity a sense of universal love and joy. All beings are being bathed in your love and joy. This and only this in the Law, the Supreme Reality. "
