The Astrology of Building Community in the Aquarian Age w/Andrea Michelle

Do you ever yearn for a true community? 🌟 A place overflowing with love and support, where raising children, co-creating dreams, and simply enjoying life become shared experiences? 🌈
With Pluto's recent move into Aquarius, the concept of community becomes a central theme for the next two decades. 🪐
In its ideal form, this astrological shift invites the demolition of outdated systems and the creation of inclusive, collaborative structures that value every individual's unique contribution. 🏗️
Of course, with Pluto involved, there will be other more shadow-driven possibilities when it comes to community… 👀
I sat with brilliant soul astrologer Andrea Michelle to discuss what makes a community tick! Not only is she a beloved returning guest to the Astrology Hub podcast, but she is also our Inner Circle: EXPAND guide for Sagittarius Season 2024. 🎙️
Are we destined for perpetual isolation, or can we build something new and lasting? 🤔
With Andrea Michelle's wisdom, let's navigate the potentials and pitfalls of building a thriving community in the Aquarian age! 🌍✨
Inside this episode, you'll learn about;
🔹 Deconstructing the Ideal: We are currently in a phase of "unlearning" old, rigid ideas about community, particularly those that prioritize conformity over individuality.
🔹 Shadow Side of Aquarius: The utopian vision of Aquarius can be misused to create communities led by charismatic figures who suppress dissent and prioritize control.
🔹 Honest Connections: The foundation for a strong community lies in open communication and vulnerability. People need to be willing to share their true selves, struggles, and imperfections with each other.
🔹 Inner Work as the Starting Point: True community building begins with individual growth and self-awareness. We need to understand ourselves better before effectively connecting with others.
🔹 Finding Your Path: There's no single path to community. Some may find guidance in workshops or groups led by trusted teachers, while others may build connections organically.
🔹 Bridging the Divide: The placement of the planets suggests a need to bridge the gap between the right brain (creativity) and the left brain (logic) in our approach to community building.
🔹 Inner Pilgrimage: The emphasis is on finding the "pilgrimage within" ourselves, focusing on personal growth before seeking connections with others.
🔹 "Alone Together" Concept: Andrea Michelle introduces her "Alone Together" concept, which highlights the importance of individual work while acknowledging the value of community for support.

❤❤ Andrea Michelle 😂 at what you said about strong Aquarius placements. I have Venus and Chiron in Aqua plus in Vedic /sidereal am 28° Aquarius. “Love the idea of community (?) but don’t like people” wow. I can identify with that. Not in a mean way. Just I like my solitude and my dogs. 😂

May this be so...I have been working on myself for this.

I always feel like Andrea Michelle is speaking right to the heart of what im feeling. Loved this so much and I am super excited that she is looking into this occultation season we are in right now!! I saw one of the lunar occultations of Antares last year and that was wild. Its been something I have been paying attention too and wanting to know more about.

[@andreamichelle13]

thank you Mindy! 🌻I love that you are tuning into occultations - they carry potent alchemical possibility...

"To go where no man has gone before". Each step forward is a step into an interesting direction. Feel the fear, and do it any way. Mindfully. It's like sewing, be careful of those needles.

i like that, Penny 😊

[@eighthhousealchemy3022]

I love when Andrea and Amanda come together. I have come to learn to arrive prepared with pen and paper, so as to integrate and hope to further ground into the flow of wisdom that comes thru these shining stars. A deep dive every time; sometimes I listen 2-3 times as it can be so deep. I am grateful! 💗 P.S. IMO too many ads tho and the ads are so long! Do you have to interrupt the podcast for yet another long ad? Grateful for Astrology Hubs offerings, but the frequency it is mentioned in this promotional time is too much.🙏🏻

Please don't let it bother you, they are entitled to do their thing, and the content more than makes up for it 👍

[@ayoshanti5659]

Thank you for the very thoughtful presentation. I have shared this with many who are not even interested in astrology. Everyone will get whatever they need from it, or decide it is not for them. But at least it is being made available to them to make their own choices. And yes, the tribal fear is here and out in the open. It is in the polarization. It is in the global hyper nationalism. It is in the "great cry for safety and security" that exists everywhere we go and in every aspect of our lives. Fear of the unknown, where is our economy headed, where are we headed? This is not easy for anyone. But for those who are aware of the process, we can try to do our best. With love and hope.

[@andreamichelle13]

Hello Andrea, a few days ago I wrote that it was difficult to digest what you were saying. But you were so open and gracious, and knowing the effort needed to prepare a speech like this I decided to go back and listen to you again and again...after my 3rd run I think I am slowly tapping on the surface of the beauty of what you were trying to communicate. BTW while this was happening a friend-out of the blue- told me that Pluto has a big heart tattooed on its surface..not sure what it means yet but Im hoping to get there. Thank you.❤

[@andreamichelle13]

what a gorgeous, vulnerable (a.k.a. empowered) response. seems to me, you are more available than you give yourself credit for. :) i do tend to go off the beaten track in my approach to astrology, admittedly. 😉 i send you my sincere, loving best ~am

[@bokky24]

Oh no you are very focused, even if one doesn't understand. I could feel the inner force of your speech trying to articulate the unseen vibrations,energy(?) To the common plane- very challenging. Sometimes I feel Astrologers are true priests who translate this language of the gods to us mortals. Its hard to be spiritual and receptive when you are worried about putting bread on the table. Thank you for your passion and work.❤

[@bodhisattvaFM]

I really liked the convo 23:55 to the break. You could've gone much longer. There are so many ways Utopian communities break down and teachers get exposed. That's also very Aquarian, iconoclasm and dystopia. I think the Aquarian concept of sovereignty is how communities navigate these issues. Seeking each community's own sovereignty as individuals and a group while respecting that of others; especially across cultures that may even have different definitions of what it is to be human is tough! But that's the process. Plus how can a leader take advantage of seekers who are fully empowered to break his wrist for the attempt? See? Sovereignty baby! New rules comin in.

[@monarchinthemirror]

I am resonating so much with this episode and with Andrea Michelle. Is she an EA (evolutionary astrology) astrologer? I hear bits of Jeffrey Wolf Green when she speaks ❤.

[@andreamichelle13]

hi Christen, i am, kinda - not through JWG's traditional EA school but through Adam Gainsburg's Soulsign Astrology, which is heavily influenced by (and pays homage to) JWG's EA model, though Adam added his own gifts/learnings around it. i'm glad you resonated with this episode, thanks for watching!🙏

I love the axis discussions thank you

[@nadinelockitchdejong8400]

This really helped sort out a personal conundrum about head and heart. And surely it will be helpful to do our composting before Nov 30!! But after the discussion about Ancestral, cultural and species trauma, my compost list is growing again. What Andrea Michelle said about how Aquarians love humanity but not humans certainly rang a few bells for me at the end. So much wisdom and heart here. Thank you!♊♍♒💓 I'm wondering if either of you follow the Heart Math Institute??

I've listened to the first 25 minutes and it sounds like a search for Utopia ~ groups of people will never all be on the same wavelength at the same time ~ we are individuals who grow and change at different rates. Can anyone ever get rid of their Shadows???? totally? I'm gonna finish listening but I had to mention this.

[@andreamichelle13]

hi Jessica, thanks for your comment; absolutely agree, and when you listen further you'll note I don't suggest we all get on the same wavelength - I suggest part of the Aquarian ideal is to develop the capacity to live side-by-side with others who differ from us - that we don't need to all get on the same page, but appreciate our uniquenesses and be drawn to engage in communities with others of similar uniquenesses.

There is a huge chunk of America that I have no intention of thinking of as a tribal source and I never will accept the my way or the highway folks that are predominant in the news these days. I am fully aware of what you are talking about but there are people who my heart tells me are not fit to let anywhere near me now or in the future. I already went through 20 years of Pluto in Capricorn, my sun natal , my sun has moved to Pisces and I am fine with that. I do not have to belong to a tribe at all to have wonderful human value. I do not identify as what some folks are doing at all right now and have no intention of letting that toxic force into my world ever. Not living in fear of anything. Maybe not having my dog is the biggest thing I see in my far future. Aquarius is not fond of people as they act INSIDE of those groups of weirdos out there. I totally get that and I think Saturn still rules Aquarius with Uranus as a side kick to get the towers to grow with. They work in tandem and always will. Separate them at your own detriment.

[@Feribrat99]

Chiron has been working overtime for a long time trucking all over the chart the last 38 years. It is mostly internal thankfully. Trust is not happening right now in the US and it is going to be hard earned if it is going to live at all here. Cancel culture at it's best moment is not worth living with at all we are a constitutional republic not a homogenous being. If that is being tribal to let that happen then I am not going to be a part of any tribe. W. E. F. is not gonna live long. Power over sucks at all times.

[@ellelbaker]

A shame someone decided to overlay the intro words with music. It detracts from her deep wisdom. Let her words be enough. It makes it sound too flakey.

[@hopeamaranthine1033]

Enjoyed this but it's too dense, too academic. It needs to be unpacked and made more accessible, more warmth, more humanity. I speak as someone with post graduate degrees.

[@bokky24]

Thank you I have speaking about this for a very long time. When I tuned in to Astrology Hub at its infancy it felt so accessible, Amanda was great being the translator. But as the years progressed I found that guest Astrologers were at different levels and as Amanda progressed in her understanding she lost sight of us and used the programs as her therapy sessions sometimes.😔

[@jessicalee7119]

I feel sort of that same way ~ Andrea is steeped in this study and more of an academic ~ which is great, but not always easy to understand if you aren't on that level. This reminds me of a book that is in need of editing in order to have it's best and biggest impact.

[@andreamichelle13]

interesting take, Hope, and i am curious about what makes it seem academic? i 'm pretty far from an academic (i completed my B.A and never went further). I speak from my personal observations and life experiences, and aspire to convey a very human approach (in terms of speaking of the reality of the human shadow and its influence on our thoughts and actions). there is idealism inherent in the Aquarian archetype, and perhaps what i speak to is not available for most, or in the next generation even for the better part of human culture, though it's worth doing my best to live my life as if it were so! :)

[@andreamichelle13]

@@jessicalee7119 hi Jessica! please see my reply to Hope here. it's intriguing, i am not an academic by any definition... my hope is that after the full listen, there is more that may resonate or pique your interest here. thanks for watching!~

@@jessicalee7119 I am so with you and it makes me wonder there must be a better way. With the Astrology Podcast with Chris Brennan you know what you are getting- Chris is generally focusing on the academic side of Astrology. I guess my disappointment has stemmed from the fact the Amanda was so wonderful being the conduit of taking Astrology into everday life- that can actually be applied. Lets face it a majority of us we don't really have the time to ponder on the subconscious level. We live on the earthly plane- we have bills to pay and life to tackle with.
