Aquarius at the Personality Level

Aquarius is exoterically ruled by Saturn and Uranus.

Aquarius at the Soul Level

Aquarius is esoterically ruled by Jupiter. Aquarius's Labor of Hercules is Cleansing the Augean Stables -- clearing what has grown stale through long personal use so it can serve the group instead.

Jupiter itself carries Ray 2 -- see the Seven Rays explained for what each Ray means. Read the full myth behind this Labor: The Labors of Hercules.

Aquarius at the Hierarchical Level

Aquarius is hierarchically ruled by the Moon veiling Uranus. The service Aquarius offers personally, at this level, becomes structural -- the world-server's individual water poured out becomes, Hierarchically, a channel built to carry that same water to many.
