Why do people take positions of power/leadership if they are not, in fact, willing to lead?
Have you ever read a definition of “leadership?” Cause I just did, and it’s pretty vague.
Maybe that’s the problem. Nobody actually knows what it means. It’s too open to interpretation.
Maybe we need a new definition.

With six planets in Aquarius, this New Moon is reminiscent of the February 1962 Solar Eclipse which featured 7 planets in the Fixed Air sign and harkened in an explosion of social and political unrest, civil rights, antiwar, and independence movements, innovations in science, space and medicine, iconic music, literature and art. This was the inception of 1960s counterculture, the breakdown of old traditions, rules and established norms, and the backlash from those people and institutions who preferred the status quo.
