I am not sure about all of you, but when reading on the signs, there are a few similarities between Aquarius and Sagittarius. One thing I came cross between the two is truth. Both are said to be seekers of truth. What does “truth” mean? I’ve seen people debate what truth really is; objective verses subjective truth. And we can also make the argument that honesty and the Truth are not the same.
In my personal opinion, I do not think honesty and the truth are not always equal. Yes, in some instances they are, but honesty is mostly a subjective thing. Like the word “fat” means differently to different people. One person might think of fat as an objective matter, as to how much body fat % you have in your body. Another person might think anyone above a size 4 is fat, because that is their personal values and what they were forced to believe.
At any rate, I do not think there is a Universal Truth that we know about now. IF there is a Universal Truth, we will not know in our lifetime. The Universal Truth is not religious, but related to SCIENCE! The Universal Truth is why we are here as life forms, how the universe was created, and how things came to be. We have theories on this ( and books that are thousands of years old do not count as evidence ) and that is what we have now.
There are many people who say they are seeking the truth, and seeking the truth is a pleasure to these people. Atheists and God fearing people alike. Skeptics and astrologers alike. Naturalists and spiritualists alike. Seeking the truth and what type of truth is typically different to two people.
Take astrology; the signs of Sagittarius and Aquarius, both associated with seeking the truth. Aquarius saying is “I know” and Sagittarius saying is “I seek.” We can go on about the Aquarius dogma, even though they are said to hate dogma, but they do create their own. I’m not going into that, because this post is not all about dogma.
Aquarius:
Aquarius truth is mostly based upon objective things, like science, evidence and facts. Honestly, I see many Aquarius influenced people as skeptics in astrology. ( Often they have Cap placements also ). Aquarius seeks the truth by what it can see; but also by abstract thinking. It takes a higher mind to think about our place in the world. Aquarius is also about humankind; therefore, an Aquarius wants to see his/her place in the universe and may see how we simply do not matter. Aquarius treats every human being the same ( where as Leo wants special privileges as an individual ). Human beings are often seen as insignificant when it comes to the entire universe.
Aquarius is the archetypical “Thinker.” The “Innovator.” The “Engineer.” The “Futurist.” Aquarius is also associated both with progressivism and conservatism when it comes to politics.
The truth is as it is, based upon findings of science and research. We know what our mind can figure out.
Aquarius is said to think past old dogmas and old thinking styles. Organized religion can be one of them. I often think of Aquarius as the sign of the Atheist/Agnostic, or even a Deist ( which is a Theist/person who believes in a god, but thinks the god does not care what people do. It is only interested in what is happening in the universe. ) Aquarius is about freedom of thought; free thinking.
Another complex idea about Aquarius I want to point out is groupthink. Groupthink is when a group of people come to the conclusion, usually a wrong one, when one person tells them it’s the right way to go. Since everyone in the group agrees, you must also. Aquarius is all about the individual and free thinking, but sometimes it also focuses on the group/organization and groupthink. Interesting thought.
One idea about Pluto in Aquarius ( 2024-to sometime 2040’s? ) is that there may be a lot of groupthink ( a bad thing about Aquarius ) instead of free thinking. But who knows? Maybe there will be more scientific pursuits, but these pursuits might hurt people or put the human race in danger ( Pluto ). Also, dont forget about corruption of organizations or even progressive groups. I’m going to write something on Pluto in Aquarius later on, so I’m keeping my thoughts to myself.
Sagittarius:
Sagittarius is the hallmark “Seeker of the Truth.” In fact when you look in the sky the Sag constellation is pointing to the center of the galaxy. ( Where there could be a black hole )
While Sagittarius can be objective and base their truth on evidence and facts, some are more subjective. These subjective ones base their truth on faith and philosophy. Sagittarius is associated with religion, while Pisces is associated with spirituality.
Sometimes Sagittarius can run their mouth without knowing the facts ( something Aquarius does not have a problem with ), but Sagittarius has an innate intuition and often hunches can be right. Sagittarius may think about possibilities, what if scenarios, and moral dilemmas. That is why Sagittarius is the Philosopher.
Sagittarius seeks the truth by educating himself/herself, philosophizing, learning from mentors, reading books, observing, intuition and sometimes religious books.
This is not to say the two can not overlap. Aquarius truth and Sag truth, in my opinion, should be equally valued. We need someone to do evidence based research and state what research shows, but we also need those people who just see what’s up and educate themselves on issues. We need both Philosophers and Thinkers, and you can be both, or you can be one or the other. You can be intuitive or logical, or both, or one or the other.
Summing it up:
Aquarius truth:
Logical
Evidence based
Thinkers
Skeptics
Open minded
Sagittarius truth:
Can be logical, but also can be intuitive
Observation based, but can be based upon perception of individual
Broad minded
Liking possibilities
Philosophy based
