Ari, on this week's call you mentioned that Aquarian people can be distrustful and paranoid because of how much conditioning is here on the planet and how hard it is to be here. (I think that's what you said).

I was wondering how that is healed? (I'm guessing maybe it involves the Leo polarity?)

The paranoia can come about by way of believing one's individuality to be at odds with the status quo of one's social reality and projecting all kinds of stories about what's going on. Where the break from the status quo then triggers fear. This can happen for many kinds of reasons, generally unresolved trauma is at the core of it - the stories then serve to form a protection around the trauma to stay safe.

From the Leo polarity perspective, a lesson for Aquarius is to be involved in life, to share their humanity and participate, to contribute. In this way they recognize that they belong, their unique being is a part of the whole eco system. Otherwise the paranoia can result in separation/isolation from social reality.

Oh boy yeah. Thanks. It's so helpful seeing it framed like this. Irrational fear around relating in groups (e.g. on internet forums like this one) blocking progress, even to a "crippling" degree sometimes.

The individual, whether aristocrat or urchin, being subject to the violent whim of the masses. Or the other way around. These are,  I'm sure, some of the patterns of different prior lives at play here for this soul. My day-job, caring for elderly with varying health problem has been a perfect school here.
