This is the Part II update for Aquarius decan 2, which just is me rambling about any observations of the decan period. The previous Part I posts give all the correspondences.

Aquarius decan 2 contains my spouse’s birthday, and is also the decan of my Moon sign. Yes, Sun/Moon conjunctions between partners are great synastry! I think especially in Aquarius 2, it can mean your partner is also your best friend.

Since we both have winter birthdays, it sometimes feels like kind of a bummer as the weather is often a limiting factor for fun things to do and getting out in nature. So we often decide to spend a day around birthday time visiting a local greenhouse and botanical garden. This one we go to is old, it was started in the 1800s. Which means it has a lot of really cool old plant specimens, that have attained massive size.

Like this cactus. The picture is deceiving as this thing is HUGE. They also have mature cacao trees, banana trees, the biggest pony tail palm I’ve ever seen. The cactus room is amazing, the water plant room is too, with some cute frogs hanging out in there as a bonus. They have tropical rooms, hot steamy rooms, cool temperature rooms, collections of everything from ferns to fruit trees to air plants, all in a very old greenhouse of many rooms. The orchid room is awesome!

We also went to a butterfly conservatory. Which sort of fits as butterflies are associated with the Air signs. You see them in the Star cards (Aquarius) and Fool cards (Air element).

The butterfly conservatory was very cool – the colors alone were stunning. A beautiful red and black and yellow one (I think maybe a “Mormon” butterfly?) landed on me and laid an egg! I deposited it onto a leaf in there, as I didn’t think it would fair so well otherwise! They also had birds and reptiles.

Anyway, I suppose these trips could definitely qualify as “Science” as both sites offered a lot of opportunities for learning (Mercury rules the decan Aquarius 2) about plants and and animals in the environments.
