Kismet Code 30: The Deep Desirer

Code 30 is all about revelling in the intensity of feeling, desire and emotion without expectation.

Hungering for experience and variety.

Surrendered and sexy.

Code 30 knows that the full spectrum of emotion (deep longing, fire, curiosity, and desire for something new) are a gift of the human experience.

Code 30 inspires others to discover and engage in all that life has to offer and surrender to precisely what is and accept life’s limitations.

Aquarius energy is defined by a need for intellectual connection, independence, and unconventional love. As a fixed air sign, it values mental stimulation, loyalty, and collaboration, but often keeps emotion at a distance, preferring acts of service over traditional romantic gestures.

Its not the most romantic of archetypes and its always bugged me that Valentines is in Aquarius season when Leo is way more about big romantic gestures and putting on a show.

Valentine’s Day originates from the ancient Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia in mid-February (15th) which was replaced by the Christian feast day of St. Valentine on February 14th in the 5th century. It evolved from a martyr commemoration into a romantic celebration during the Middle Ages, associated with courtly love.

Aquarius and a Martyr commemoration I can get behind.

I am not picking on any individual as I say this, we are all WAY more than our Sun Sign and we all have each energy and archetype play out in our make up in some way.

Some players are centre stage and some bare less of an influence… and we all move through all of the archetypes and energies as the wheel of the year turns and their neutrinos impact us on an energetic level.

When I started daily contemplation of and a mindful embodiment of the Kismet Codes, I noticed something that made Valentines make sense…

The Cusp of Sensitivity: February 15 - 21

I am a cusp baby, born at 0º of Leo, and I am an Astrologer who recognises a 5º orb as a cusp. I love that each cusp has its own flavour and blends the element and mode of the merging archetypes.

The Aquarius-Pisces cusp, between February 15 to 21, is an energy full of compassion and creativity.

If you are born on the Cusp of Sensitivity you likely can feel the weight of the world -- which is both a blessing and a curse!

The Aquarius-Pisces cusp is where we feel the influence of both the planets of Uranus and Neptune. As we move through this turn of the wheel, we likely all feel its influence.
