This post blew my mind. I will never look at Aquarius the same! The snake to water to rainbow symbolism inmediately made me think of Oxumarê, the Orisha of renewal, transformation, and divine messages, represented by a rainbow snake. Even though he is a male Orisha, he possesses dual nature, uniting male and female, water and earth, mortality and immortality. He is the son of Nanã, an ancient and revered goddess of the primordial mud, the waters of creation. The original Mother, Grandmother, the crone. Also, YES, a thousand times yes, it's up to us to embody the dynamis of the Great Goddess and bring her back to the forefront. It is not an easy task when most of the Earth has been enslaved by the worshippers of a jealous god, but it is the mission we agreed to. We'll succeed or die trying! This was a great read. ✊🏻❤️‍🔥

This is such a great article! I completely agree with the snake symbolism, and Steven Forrest includes it in his book The Inner Sky. Plus, if you haven’t read Geraldine Thorsten’s book “The Goddess in Your Stars” I highly recommend it. She says that the original Greek depiction of Aquarius was of the goddess Hebe, until they went down the patriarchal path.

I love how thoroughly you explore the symbolism in your work.
