The Age of Aquarius
Several years ago there was a great deal of discussion regarding the impending Age of Aquarius. Now from time to time I hear folksy references to the Age of Aquarius. If you are interested, but have not had the time to look into this subject, I am providing below a description of what this title means.
We know that annually the earth travels around the sun making a complete cycle that includes four seasons. Slowly over a period of about 2100 years the earth progresses every so slightly backwards through the zodiac. Currently the earth is crossing over from an alignment with Pisces to the beginning of Aquarius. In other words, on the first day of Spring each year the earth aligns a little less than it’s previous position with Pisces in the prior year, ever so slowly it is processing backwards in its annual cycle. If you were to draw an intersecting line from the sun, through the earth directly to the Pisces, you would note that the line is entering the space of Aquarius. It’s estimated by many Astrologers that the point of intersection will be well within Aquarius sometime between the years 2100 and 2160. You might be wondering why an exact date is not available. Perhaps some Astrologer/Astronomer has pinpointed the precise date, but for now I do know that the issue involves where exactly that dividing line should be, in that there is a vast amount of space between Pisces and Aquarius.
Each of the ages seems to have characteristics that reflect similar characteristics identified with it’s sign namesake. So many were/are excited about the idea of an Aquarian age. Because the sign Aquarius suggests a time that is dedicated to friendships, social welfare, science and hope. But what is often over looked is that Aquarius is also often referenced to major catastrophes. Each sign and it’s “age” has it’s own set of positive and negative characteristics. So, entering into the “age of Aquarius” may bring many new large scale trends in humanities history, but those trends are not all necessarily happy occasions.
Mundane Astrology can shed light on human history and artfully suggest future possibilities. For me however, my place in the future holds much more interest for me.
If you have an interest in your future and would like to consider your time line send me a note. K.Joseph@mac.com
