Astrological Choices – Age Of Aquarius – When, Where, Why And How
“When the Moon is in the 7th household and Jupiter aligns with Mars…” the words during the song libra man aquarius woman on the coming on the Age of Aquarius performed by the singing group The Fifth Dimension grabbed our attention more than 20 years ago. Though I love the song and typically sing it at the top of my lungs, astrologically it doesn’t say much, it is just fun. There is so much controversy within the Age of Aquarius and once it need to start that I notion a discussion was in order. What is an age? How is it produced? How lengthy does it last? What’s there for the changing of an age that grabs our attention so thoroughly?
We need to go back to basics and begin on the truth that astrology is really a find out of cycles, long term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, globe orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all the debris left more than within the formation of our solar procedure such as dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and beneficial old space dust. We undoubtedly have a quantity from which to choose. A few of the cycles are so large and involve such enormous time concepts that it’s beyond our comprehension. I am going to dispose of those cycles simply so we can spend our time and idea on the more local and modern-day activations. Believe circle, big circle, using a whole bunch of slightly tiny circles contained within it and you will get my picture of the universe. Additionally there could be many universes, only a single of which is ours. Whether they’re in any way inter-related or on several wavelengths or dimensions is component of an ongoing discussion. Whatever the answer is, our universe is immense and it’s growing at a rapid pace.
The modern day astronomical idea is that what we call the universe started having a large bang 13+ billion many years ago and has been expanding ever since. What began as being a singularity exploded out into multiplicity and everything is contained inside this expanding bubble of activity. The matter is distributed irregularly so some parts of our universe are denser than others. As this bubble expands, the distances between the internal content also expands. Believe large circle getting bigger, for instance everything contained inside it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out into the original void (space), pockets of workout produced and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars - big ones, little ones, long-lived, short lived – with range and range beyond imagination. Each time our scientists believe they have a handle on it, it grows and reveals a lot more of itself. Think huge! These pockets of possibility over billions of years in the universe’s life produced into stars with globe entourages, galaxies, and all the amazing cosmic bodies. There is such variety that just cataloguing it is daunting to say absolutely nothing of identifying and explaining it all.
The galaxies are in constant motion and sometimes run into every other. One may perhaps cannibalize another, but constant motion and transform is the norm, with incredible differences spawned like a result. Individuality is universal and conformity is man-made.
Locally our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a hybrid of merging galaxies and will eventually be swallowed up by the a lot bigger Andromeda Galaxy (not anytime soon, don’t be nervous). We are part of the local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate around a popular center and I have no notion how long a cycle that would be, I only know that it is an really lengthy cycle. Of the current political debate about immigration, I laughed once I read that our Sun and its entourage of planets and space junk is an immigrant into what we call our individual galaxy absorbed from a prior galactic collision. Our galaxy spins close to a well-liked center that’s concept to become a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ in the way out in the center of the galaxy. The individual galactic spin takes more than 200 million many years to complete, a huge circle that exists inside bigger circle with the galactic cluster, again, circles inside circles.
For our discussion our much more very own and manageable circles occur from inside our solar system. Each planet has an orbit (circle) at a particular distance from the Sun and people planets also have modest bodies in orbit close to them. All of the matter within this solar system is bound by the gravitational attraction with the Sun. It is all in continual motion and that motion is basically circular. Little circles within bigger circles within…. you get the picture.
The specific circle that sets the “ages” of our discussion is measured from Earth’s north pole. As Earth orbits our Sun, our north/south poles are tilted compared to our orbit. We are physically irregularly shaped (the water nicely covers up the uneven contours in the Earth. We are also orbited by a satellite (our Moon) that is ¼ our size and exerts a magnetic pull of its own. As we rotate and orbit, we wobble slightly on our axis like a spinning top. That wobble is measurable and traces out a circle during the sky that takes just under 26,000 years to perform (different sources supply a variety of figures; the source I use was the first one I encountered many years ago, 25,858 years). The backdrop of that circle is the constellational zodiac of twelve signs. The rounded off version is 26,000 many years divided by 12 signs or approximately 2,160 years per sign and is what is normally recommended for the length of the single age. There is a trick towards the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards from your zodiac signs instead of the forward order we are employed to, so the age signs move backward as well. This astronomical measure is named the Precession of the Equinox (the measuring principle). For your last couple of thousand years we have been inside Age of Pisces and we now have already or are about to move into the Age of Aquarius.
There is really a particular measuring principle that implies that the changing with the age will occur within the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a problem with this dating because the event markers for ones Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that mainly because there are no written instructions, the assumption that all the ages are equal might or may possibly not be true. If each age is exactly 2160 years (or so) marker to marker then we are nonetheless from the Age of Pisces. If every age isn’t exactly equal as the constellations themselves aren’t equal, the beginning of this new age may already be upon us. I stand on a Age of Aquarius side of the debate. Why? As I stated earlier, evidence…
Uranus, which has been given main influence more than Aquarius, was known in 1781, 5 years after the start with the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the starting from the French Revolution. Uranus had been sighted prior to discovery but had not been particularly identified. Right after that amazing period for individualism and independence came the USA Civil War, the industrial revolution, the era of invention of the steam engine, the automobile, the plane, the bombs and rockets, space flight and more. All of these are based in revolution, independence and invention and flirted on the new era cleaving the way to the future.
It is said how the “2nd coming of the Avatar” (spiritual leader) will arrive when the “sign of man is inside the heavens.” Well we now have definitely done that. We have left space debris scattered from the following to out past the edges of our solar system. The space station recently had to decide whether to duck a piece of space junk.
The most amazing picture to me is that from the black sky of space in the white-suited astronaut hanging more than the semi-arc on the earth below. An additional profound image stands out as the familiar picture of Astronaut Ed White tethered to a Gemini spacecraft in 1965. The “tether” he was diagnostic tests is anchored like an umbilical chord as the very first American man floated and turned from the vast expanse of space like an child inside womb of the universe. The sign of man is already inside the heavens and it is inventive, innovative, revolutionary, independent and futuristic… all Uranus/Aquarius keywords. Preserve in mind that libra woman aquarius man itself is called “the sign of man” and that’s the symbolism that accompanies it astrologically.
Also, the changing of an age is not 1 issue in time. You will discover no fences between the signs in outer space. There is a falling off of one sign energy and also the initiation of another – a blending or merging that takes about 144 years to complete. Why? As it takes 72 many years for our north pole pointer to try and do 1 degree. Because the improve happens among the last degree of an existing age and the first degree on the new age, that equals a couple of degrees by my math, or 144 many years of time, to end one age and begin the next.
Death of an age would not be any easier than ordinary death. Birth has in no way been considered effortless and that would include the birth of an age. Birth and death are occurring simultaneously which occurs at the end of 1 age and also the beginning of its successor. This really is traumatic. Glimpse close to you at our modern-day experience. And you volunteered to become here at this time…brave you.
To my mind we have already left the Age of Pisces and have already entered the Age of Aquarius. We have moved inside the age of believing (emotion not necessarily based in fact) towards age of knowing (intellectual, knowledge as our friend). To me Pisces is our immediate history, our heritage that we had 2000 or so years to learn, It includes our habits, our knowledge, our beliefs, our existing environmental patterning – all that we have been during the age. To me Aquarius is our now and our future. We need to learn, know, explore, invent and move toward the future. The remnants of Pisces will kick and scream and try to maintain us locked inside past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is obtaining stronger and will preserve dominance more than human development for your following 2000+ years.
Perhaps you will be 1 who believes that we are nevertheless within the Age of Pisces with its history steeped inside Age of Aries (always backwards from your zodiac). What would that be like? We would be driven by emotion, mystery, tremendous involvement in art forms and religious beliefs, the savior/victim mentality with domination or war as our heritage. Perhaps we might be on that pivotal moment of 144 many years in which we adjust from a single age to an additional with all the mixed messages that arrive from change. What are the possibilities a time of simultaneous death/birth may offer? Where do you stand in this? Regardless of whether you “believe” (Pisces) or would prefer to “know” (Aquarius) it’s going to happen with or without our conscious participation. The ages unfold in a pattern, a predictable cycle of energy far more powerful than our understanding and it is not dependent on our individual beliefs. The development and the unfolding from the universe is right on schedule – the birth occurs with or without the need of our participation or belief. Where is your location in this unfolding cycle? The option is yours.
