Aquarian astrology at the dawn of a new age…

Astrology involves visualizing the solar system, and beyond … It is an infinite series of cycles … cycles within cycles…

One of the most intriguing cycles which is charted in astrology is the ‘great movement’ of the ‘great age’: the precession of the equinox. Each full revolution thru all 12 signs takes 26,000 years — 2166 years for each sign … (That’s 72 years for each single degree of the precession — the length of our lifetime.)

Right now, we are on the cusp of two of the deepest signs — we are moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. Cusps are the deepest places of a chart: they are the places of transformation, where one sign transforms into the next.

No one to my knowledge knows the exact beginning of the Piscean Age, but everyone traces it at least to the time of Christ 2,000 years ago.

Pisces is the final, deepest sign … the sign of the end, of completion of a cycle … of total, deep understanding … absolute reality: absolute emptiness (Shunyata — shimmering emptiness) … ruled by the energies of both Neptune, the Visionary, and Pluto, the Beyond…

The Age of Pisces entered with the world crucifying its Christ, and it is coming to an end with the atom bomb and the possibility of global annihilation…

The Age of Aquarius is the age of the dawning light … the light of understanding. Aquarius is the Water-Bearer, nourishing and healing the earth with spiritual awareness … It is the Age influenced by the energy of the planet Uranus, which is the Enlightener, the inventor, the Awakener … It is erratic, spontaneous, unpredictable…

The Age of Aquarius is the time in which humankind once again clearly connects with higher intelligence, divine forces — the symbol of Aquarius is the Angel as well as the Water-Bearer…

New doors of perception are opened … new levels of consciousness are experienced … ancient truths re-emerge … intuitive sciences re-emerge … understanding beyond that of the rational mind is rediscovered … the head once more becomes united with the heart … humankind once more merges with its source, with its God, with its light — the deep truth of its deepest levels of being.
