adam, i just want to say how much i appreciate your videos. there aren't many astrologers who devote this much time and work this hard to providing such amazing free services to other astrologers. i have learned so much from you. some days, your videos are what i look forward to most! thank you adam

😂 A video with clips of your awesome laughter moments would be Stellar ~ I think❣️ … I mean … what could be more uplifting in this zoo of a world 🤪🌎🪐✨

These shoulders. 😂 I feel so distracted. Oh, it's Venus in Taurus season now. Of course. No worries, I'll rewatch it and LISTEN to later.

Falling in love with your raw emotional reveal ❤ “ I don’t know exactly what I need…” Thank you Adam for being real, and making the bridge between the mind in the heart once again 🙌🏻

Aquarius Rising here and I relate to everything you said. The remedies you have suggested are spot on. I’m almost 50 and I’m at the point where not only have I come into awareness of these tendencies but I’ve meditated on stepping back and loving myself and others anyway.

Adam Biceps Elenbaas, brilliant to see a great mind looking strong and healthy.

I can't wait for year two. Year one is phenomenal.

Hi Adam, thank you ❤️🙏❤️ ps. Sitting on a terrace by myself listening, laughing outloud. I love learning with fun.

Thank you

Thank you so much for your examples and analogies. I’m missing prominent Aquarius energy in my chart but have a Leo Sun and Mercury. These themes have come up a lot for me the past year or so and I feel like you’re giving me so much context to recognize and better work with my polarity 🙂

22:42 it's so close to the end I don't want people to miss it! What a great dream! Helps me reframe the Aquarian energy. I imagine Libra keeping the scales, but ceding the gavel to this Star-haired giant.

I’m an Aquarius and I haven’t ever identified my perfectionism as an Aquarius thing until hearing this. Fascinating!

Love this! Thank you. The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know anything.

The problem with perfection is that the definition of what is perfect is always changing, it's not only unsustainable but unachievable. And whose idea or model of perfection are we striving for? Humans are flawed and will mAke mistakes, it's taken me along time to come to terms with that.

I love peacocks. The boys have such beautiful colors!!! Girls too but he has more feathers to strut ☺️

@0:36....wow, I was blaming my perfectionist tendencies on my Virgo midheaven!😆 I never realized my Sun was the culprit!😂

your analogy about the zoo, as someone with Sag and Scorpio personal placements, was very powerful!

As an Age of Winter it will strengthen the shadows with Pluto presiding over its ingress. We've given those shadows a shape with the rise of machines to do the bidding those with the least appreciation for the spirit.

Zoo part made my day, thank you 😂

Definitely feeling that Venus in Taurus with your laughter.

Excellent! I found you thru Mountain Astrologer mag blog.. My funny story: I am a vegetarian. Not because I'm "higher-evolved ", but I found out that meat gives me migraines. Simple as that. But I've been with others who think that I am 'so high'. Nope, I just have allergies. I find humor can be a good antidote to perfectionism. :) Thanks Mark for what you do..

Thank you so much for your insight as always 😊 💙🙏💙

I cannot change another person ...if I share they come to me I am not looking for them.i don't feel better than anyone ..I am different and acceptance is my peace

I enjoyed the talk and agree with your points, but damn if I don't just want to go work on my delts, lol! Those arms, my guy.

This was great, I needed to hear this, especially #3!

Your number 4 mantra reminds me of Thomas Merton’s prayer. (Edited to add the prayer) “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”

As an Aquarius, I can totally identify with this!

Adam, I love how this discussion is a perfect follow-on to yesterday’s! As a person who was born when mars was in Aquarius and directly opposite Pluto in Leo both squared the sun, I could relate to and see in myself and life all 5 of your guideposts! All of these traits can be considered fairly manageable on their own but it’s the addition of the compulsive/ obsessive nature that plutonic energy brings that amps things up to potentially destabilizing/destructive levels. Excellent observations and reminders! As someone once told me; the problem with riding around on a high horse is you’ve a lot further to fall when you do…and you will! Loving how these last two talks fit together. Thank you for creating all this rich content!!! A feast indeed! ❤

I really needed this today. Thank you!

Thank you for a truly insightful... psychotherapy session!! I am certainly printing out this talk's transcript.

My progressed sun is in Aquarius, and I really resonated with so many of the things you brought up today. I don’t really have many natal placements in the sign, but then I remembered my progressed sun and I felt like it all clicked.

Excellent episode. Thank you ❤

Lol "I saw the monkeys" omg so funny love the examples. These insights are very well done! I am not an aquarius but my friend is and I have noticed what your saying in his behavior. Thank you SO MUCH Adam for all the work you do to make these videos. I know how much dedication and time it can take. I know i dont just speak for myself of when I say I really appreciate your work into doing what you do. Your amazing 🙏👏

Thank you, Adam....I guess I have gotten a headstart on these areas you mentioned. Through my relationships, I have become aware of these tendencies and have attempted to tweak--with self-compassion and kindness. Pluto is 4° orb from my Aqua NN. The awareness of these tendencies have become stronger and stronger past 6 months. I truly appreciate this confirmation and your sharing of new perspectives. I also have sun conjunct mercury in Aquarius, trine Uranus in h11.

I really resonate with this BIG time!!! Thank you!!! 🙏💚

I am reminded of one of my favorite little poems by Victorian poet, James Thomson: ONCE in a saintly passion I cried with desperate grief, "O Lord, my heart is black with guile, Of sinners I am chief." Then stooped my guardian angel And whispered from behind, "Vanity, my little man, You're nothing of the kind."

Thank-you Adam, this was great as always! 😎

Yes!

Im not perfect I just am as I am and thats all that eye am.

Great insight, great delts

"I saw the monkeys. Just sayin'" 😆🙈🙉🙊 There is a great song by the Scorpions, called "The Zoo"...awesome for Pluto in Aquarius, I think.

Thank you much for the wisdom as always!! ☺️ Definitely felt these as Saturn was making it's journey through Aquarius, I'm really intrigued by how Pluto will show us similar themes! A couple of my own reflections: •While we all have gifts and flaws, is it not a beautiful experience to open our hearts to other people's gifts and flaws just as much as our own? That's one question that's helped me on some level with the same struggle mentioned in #1 •There's much to be said about loving ourselves and each other in the here and now and still working towards something, believing in the people were becoming. But if we lose sight of the unshakeable value where we are and who we are now, we lose something beautiful indeed and are selling ourselves short. •Its kinda freeing to just be like, I don't know, I'm just here, I don't have all the answers for myself or others, but hey look isn't life beautiful? Just such a huge weight off the shoulders

Finding a community with shared experiences is a good thing for balancing, regulating any shadow poop. However if it is trauma this is incredibly difficult especially if you have made some sense of the experience. I would love to find a community who have moved with and deepened their understanding of that trauma but these seem hard to find?

Laughing at that whole analogy 🤣 but it's so spot on though. One of the reasons I love Terrence McKenna is that he's always expressing that too. You never hear the slightest sense of superiority in his voice despite the profound (and insane in the best way) revelations he doles out. But he's all "I'm seeing some freaky shit guys, are you seeing them too? It can't be just me??" It's all just sharing the experience with the whole and there's no place for superiority. Skill-related hierarchy, yes, but that's kind of essential. We need experts and it makes sense to give them higher authority over laymen in their own fields. But definitely not superiority.

Thank you Adam!

Srsly refreshing and psychologically sound perspective.

My job is micromanaging...two❤ pep hard on me is lots.. aquarius moon

Love the humor, I agree, it is a zoo. Thank you

I'm a sun Capp and my son is Aquarius. Pluto just keeps bouncing back n forth between the two.. Interesting dynamic 😮

Thank you, Adam! I really resonated with a lot of what you said. Hearing your balanced perspectives and mantras was like a weight being lifted from my shoulders😊 Reality like a zoo,lol. I like the lemurs;)

Reality is a zoo 😂

Roughly 10 days ago in a dream I was running a marathon, then this alligator appears and it focuses on me intensely. everyone else is able to run past as if it was not there and continue on their run but not me. It blocks my way, stares me in the eye and approaches me slowly as I start to back away. Not a runner in real life & there are no alligators where I live but alligators have visited me in dreams often during ♓️ season 😮

Adam- do you think you can do a video specifically about the Pluto square between this Aquarius Pluto and the Scorpio Pluto? A lot of us are from the Pluto in Scorpio generation and I only just realized it is the beginning of our Pluto Square. Maybe you could even go by the houses to give us an idea how it will manifest for all of us.

I was just thinking to myself yesterday: maybe it’s OK to just settle, for being average or even mediocre

I have pluto conj north node and I think opposed to south node.😮

💪🏼

You have Thor arm!!! 😁

We all have good and bad within us. We are all different in our expressions of the same thing. We’re all the same in how we express different things. Pray for spirit 🙏🙏🙏 02/15/94 00:29 Provo,UT

Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

I dont really see Aquarius as perfectionist. More Virgo.

"Do what thou wilt' is to bid Stars to shine, Vines to bear grapes, water to seek its level; man is the only being in Nature that has striven to set himself at odds with himself." -Aleister Crowley Part of the Thelemic Mass of the Phoenix says "Save me from evil and from good." The Thelemic path is meant to pull away the illusions striving for perfection and also the notion of self degradation. But instead to come in contact with the self beneath those waves and to there find the true daemonic will. Summoning angels and devils to peel back the world and find the individual beneath. To come to self not just as the inner point but as the outward boundless circle, Hadit and Nuit. This talk echoed a lot with that for me.

What is your big three signs? You're very appealing to me and I need to know to see if I'm picking up the signs I usually feel drawn to 😂❤

10:45 here we see Adam absolutely lose it 🤣

I think Pluto is in fall in Aquarius. I've read that Pluto is exalted in Leo, based on this statement: "Pluto is considered exalted or in a very strong position in Leo since both the planet and the sign are representative of great power and energy and ability to withstand challenge but to ultimately endure. This was the energy needed to withstand the horrors unleashed by a world war and the corresponding cold war period that followed." So, yeah. Since that is the case with Pluto in Leo, that means the opposite will be true with Pluto in Aquarius. Leo associates with leaders in power. Yet Aquarius on the contrary associates with the people. That means when Pluto transits Aquarius, it can be anticipated that leaders in power will have a very hard time controlling the masses. Think of the Revolutionaries vs Marie Antoinette, during the last time Pluto entered Aquarius? Generally Pluto in Air sign periods, tend to be times where a low trust in Authority is very high. But with Pluto being in fall in Aquarius, the lack of trust in authority will show like a sore thumb. Leaders (Leo) need the power (Pluto) to influence and inspire people, along with withstanding and enduring the horrors of conflict. Yet, if masses of humanity (Aquarius) were strongly against those in power (Pluto), then all hell breaks lose. Imagine masses of people having power over Authorities? Pluto in Aquarius will very likely show us just that. Also, when Pluto makes an opposition to Uranus in the 2040's, the masses of people will face the monarchies head on.

No 3 sounds about right for my age of 3 score and 10. The present moment and breathing are the most important times. Staying curious and not staying in fixed views, 😂even with fixed signs 5x ♌️ 😂 be a wise judge.

I adore you, you’ve been a fabulous teacher these past 3 yrs. And yet I recall a time when you talked about women of astrology and on video in general needing to be very modest and not “sexualize” their appearance. I let it go without comment back then, because you yourself were very modest. Perhaps it’s time for you to address those comments differently now that you are physically demonstrating your masculinity on video?

Sheesh … 💪 🔥 amazing … distracting 😂

More like Adam Slowelenbaas.

If reality is a zoo, and I'm a realist, then it follows that I'm a ... zoologist?! 🤔 😂 😊

Definitely not into perfectionism or thinking im better than anyone. But the experience and trauma is due to the path taken by being excluded from the community. They have never been open to my interpretation of experience or what they can't see. And have actively obstructed and overburdened and continue to do so. The path isn't cleared and it's against the flow. And heavy and confusing and the opportunities and liberties are snatched away. By the time there's something substantial to set me apart it'll be more like a hospital stay in a fortress with provisions for protection and prevention. It doesn't make sense for those who don't like or trust or agree with or want to help or hear about to also prevent progress and harvest, claim, colonize . Intolerance is inevitable and the end result. The hierarchy is trying to build on top of my sideways nature. I want very much a peaceful and loving reciprocal existence. I wish i knew what to say or what the difference between us was so i know where I stand or what im trying to reason with.

It IS a zoo. Wild beautiful animals!😂😂

Please, no more perfect new agers with a judgment to cast! 😆

Yes it is a zoo!

Humanity is no joke. Watch the horrible acts which recently happened and turnend the world upside down with a disaster coming ahead worldwide.

Is it a zoo, or is it 'society?' =.) Namaste!

Love and appreciate as always! Perfectionism in my 7th house?! Makes sense. Unrelated but @Adam-elenbaas if you want to cover-up that lasered tattoo, hola :) @divinatattoos

Thank you

❤❤❤
