Dragonflies around a stagnant pool
suggests a situation where one is aware of the stagnation or negativity around them but has the ability to remain detached and observe from a higher perspective. X Twitter -Moon
The phrases "vicarious experience," "living through others," "collecting data," and "knowing what everybody thinks" indicate a tendency to be highly attuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, possibly at the expense of one's own inner experience. The mention of "putting your attention rabidly outside yourself into the collective and its traps" suggests a risk of losing oneself in the collective consciousness, potentially leading to being influenced or trapped by external opinions and energies.
AQUARIUS 26
Dragonflies around a stagnant pool.
Vicarious experience. Living through others. Collecting data. Knowing what everybody thinks, you put your attention rabidly outside yourself into the collective and its traps and pitfalls. Circulating in the thick of collective karmas. You are cynically fascinated by what is wrong, what is miserable, what is rotten--gathering lessons from the worst. Somewhat taken over by the downward tug of wastage, decadence, the ends of things. Witty and stimulating, provocative and penetrating. But cut off from spirit, you wander in the maze of the cultural intellect, trying to find meaning where there is mostly nothingness.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:
Aquarius 26° A hydrometer
This is a symbol of the powers of immediate analysis which enable man to achieve his commonplace or practical goals. Here he has full assurance of an intelligence and order to be found throughout the world of everyday realities, and he comes to see that a very real co-operation of natural conditions and forces may be enlisted for any project of special concern. The individual learns that when he will take responsibility for events he may shape them to his own convenience, and thus find ways to capitalize on any difficulties that arise.
The keyword is EFFICIENCY.
When positive, the degree is exceptional ability in manipulating the fundamental complexities of living, and when negative, self-defeating worry over trifles.

A hydrometer" 26 Aquarius
Theme: Defying gravity
Inspiration: Good news travels vast.
Today: There is something in the air…
A hydrometer is an instrument of measurement for assessing relative density. For example, one substance, alcohol, may be suspended in another, your favourite bottle of plunk.
In personal experience, the assessing instrument is awareness. We all know when a heavy atmosphere has been entered, just as we know immediately when a bright positive mood room surrounds. Therefore, have a joyful time delicately weighing the air, the mood, the suspended lightness of magical energies.
Even more exciting is the very real likelihood of shifting vibrational quality of your experience. For example, imagine having been in a funk… not enough money, low energy, a sticky stream of disappointments. Today, one can quietly… sweetly… shift everything.
Imagine being under water and looking up to the illumining solar shafts energizing zillions of tiny bits of life material in the ocean. Each and everyone of those tiny bits carries enough power to explode the heaviest sludge into a motion of quick silver fireworks.
