If You Are an Aquarius

If you were born between January 21 and February 19, Aquarius is your sign. You have the qualities of a good student, a scientist, and a social reformer. You are progressive and at the same time prudent. Business conditions generally do not interest you as much as intellectual research does, and developing practical and theoretical knowledge is one of the best focal points for your activities.

It is your habit to thoroughly plan for important career, social, and family changes. Disappointments may arise because you trust mankind in general, even when that trust is not warranted. You have the unusual capacity to set aside projects and tasks and then to come back and finish them later. If you marry a person born under the same sign, happiness will result. Saturday is your best day.

The Aquarius People in Your Life

These people have excellent reasoning faculties and impress one as having more than ordinary intelligence. They readily adapt themselves to any emergency. They are agreeable, humanitarian, courteous, objective, and rarely if ever hot-tempered. Their minds are quick, their judgement good, and they have the natural ability and clairvoyant power to read human nature. They are always thinking out innovative new schemes and ideas, yet they often lay their plans so big that they are unable to carry them out. They are not always prompt in keeping their promises and appointments. They delight in asking questions and delving into all things mysterious.

Brigid, Maman Brigitte, Bride…by whatever name you know Her, she is the one who calls us back home to ourselves; the one that endures, the one that reminds us that no matter how difficult things become and no matter how broken our paths and promise might be there is a constancy running through our lives and testifying to our essential ability to be whole and intact. Imbolg and Candlesmass are the names given to her specific Feast Days on February 1 and 2.

Bride reflects us back to ourselves in the waters of her sacred well, and in the telling of her tale.

Her beginnings are in ancient Ireland where she did not easily fit into any single category:
 
Some would say that she only became associated with the Dead and with the Ancestors when her veneration was brought into Haiti by indentured servants from Scotland and Ireland, who shared their love of Bride with the African slaves as both groups were forced to work the sugar plantations.

It was in Haiti that she became Le Grande Brigitte and/or Maman Brigitte, a powerful lwa in the Voudou pantheon recognized in the Caribbean as well as New Orleans and the Deep South.

Her skin color, hair color, eye color, and accent changes from place to place, just as we change. Her refusal to fit neatly into any one box mirrors our own inability to do the same.

For there are many ways to love her and many offerings to make; so whether you know her as the sheep milk and cheese loving great Goddess of Eire; the butter loving Saint who blesses all of the candles that will be used throughout the year, or the raucous woman who knows the cemetery like the back of her hand and likes hot peppers in her rum, Bride’s request is the same:
 

Bring all of who you are to my table. Leave no part behind, hold no part back. Remember the touchstones you call upon day in and day out, remember the deep unity you carry within you at all times, wherever it is, there you will find me waiting.
