Astrological Options - Age of Aquarius - When, Where, Why and How

"When the Moon is in the 7th property and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." the words from the aquarius woman scorpio man for the coming on the Age of Aquarius performed by the singing group The Fifth Dimension grabbed our attention over 20 years ago. Though I love the song and frequently sing it at the top of my lungs, astrologically it does not say much, it is just fun. There's so much controversy about the Age of Aquarius and when it ought to begin that I thought 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 of the simple fact that astrology is really a find out of cycles, extended term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, world orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all the debris left over inside the formation of our solar program including dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and great old space dust. We undoubtedly have a variety from which to choose. Some of the cycles are so huge and involve this kind of enormous time concepts that it's beyond our comprehension. I'll dispose of people cycles quickly so we can spend our time and idea over a far more local and modern activations. Think circle, large circle, having a whole bunch of slightly small circles contained inside it and you will get my picture from the universe. Additionally there could be many universes, only 1 of which is ours. Regardless of whether they are in any way inter-related or on several wavelengths or dimensions is part of an ongoing discussion. Whatever the answer is, our universe is immense and it is growing at a rapid pace.

The modern-day astronomical thought 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 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 big circle having bigger, just like everything contained within it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out to the original void (space), pockets of activity designed and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars ­- big ones, modest ones, long-lived, short lived - with quantity and number beyond imagination. Every time our scientists believe they've a handle on it, it grows and reveals a lot more of itself. Believe huge! These pockets of possibility over billions of many years with the universe's life produced into stars with world entourages, galaxies, and all the amazing cosmic bodies. There's this kind of 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. 1 might cannibalize another, but constant motion and adjust could be the norm, with amazing differences spawned being a result. Individuality is universal and conformity is man-made.

Locally our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is often a hybrid of merging galaxies and will eventually be swallowed up by the a lot bigger Andromeda Galaxy (not anytime soon, do not be nervous). We are part of the local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate around a common center and I have no notion how long a cycle that would be, I only know that it's an incredibly extended cycle. On the contemporary political debate about immigration, I laughed as soon as I read that our Sun and its entourage of planets and space junk is an immigrant into what we call our own galaxy absorbed from a prior galactic collision. Our galaxy spins close to a favorite center which is thought to be a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ on the way out from the center on the galaxy. The individual galactic spin takes more than 200 million many years to complete, a huge circle that exists inside bigger circle in the galactic cluster, again, circles within circles.

For our discussion our a lot more personal and manageable circles occur from inside our solar system. Each entire world has an orbit (circle) at a particular distance in the Sun and those people planets also have smaller bodies in orbit around them. All the matter within this solar procedure is bound by the gravitational attraction from the Sun. It's all in continual motion and that motion is basically circular. Little circles inside larger 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 with the Earth. We are also orbited by a satellite (our Moon) that may be 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 in the sky that takes just under 26,000 years to complete (different sources offer different figures; the source I use was the first a single I encountered years ago, 25,858 years). The backdrop of that circle will be the constellational zodiac of twelve signs. The rounded off version is 26,000 many years divided by 12 signs or approximately 2,160 many years per sign and is what is typically suggested for ones length of a single age. There's a trick for the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards through the zodiac signs instead of the forward order we are utilized to, so the age signs move backward as well. This astronomical measure is known as the Precession with the Equinox (the measuring principle). For ones last couple of thousand many years we have been within the Age of Pisces and we have already or are about to move into the Age of Aquarius.

There is often a particular measuring principle that indicates how the changing on the age will occur during the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a issue with this dating mainly because the event markers to your Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that simply because you can find no written instructions, the assumption that all the ages are equal may possibly or may possibly not be true. If each age is exactly 2160 years (or so) marker to marker then we are nonetheless inside Age of Pisces. If every age isn't exactly equal as the constellations themselves aren't equal, the beginning of this new age may well already be upon us. I stand on the pisces and aries on the debate. Why? As I stated earlier, evidence...

Uranus, which has been given main influence more than Aquarius, was known in 1781, five years after the begin in the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the beginning on the French Revolution. Uranus had been sighted ahead of discovery but had not been specifically identified. Right after that incredible period for individualism and independence came the USA Civil War, the industrial revolution, the era of invention in 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 with the new era cleaving the way to the future.

It is stated how the "2nd coming in the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will arrive when the "sign of man is inside the heavens." Well we now have surely done that. We now have left space debris scattered from here to out past the edges of our solar system. The space station recently had to decide whether or not to duck a piece of space junk.

The most amazing picture to me is that from the black sky of space of the white-suited astronaut hanging over the semi-arc in the earth below. An additional profound image could be 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 within the vast expanse of space like an child inside womb of the universe. The sign of man is already from the heavens and it is inventive, innovative, revolutionary, independent and futuristic... all Uranus/Aquarius keywords. Keep in mind that Aquarius itself is called "the sign of man" and that may be the symbolism that accompanies it astrologically.

Also, the changing of an age just isn't 1 factor in time. You will find no fences among the signs in outer space. There's a falling off of 1 sign energy and the initiation of another - a blending or merging that takes about 144 many years to complete. Why? Since it takes 72 many years for our north pole pointer to perform one degree. Mainly because the adjust occurs between the last degree of an existing age and also the first degree in the new age, that equals 2 degrees by my math, or 144 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 never been considered effortless and that would include the birth of an age. Birth and death are occurring simultaneously which occurs at the end of one age and the beginning of its successor. This can be traumatic. Seem around you at our contemporary experience. And you volunteered being right 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 from the age of believing (emotion not necessarily based in fact) for the 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 have to learn, know, explore, invent and move toward the future. The remnants of Pisces will kick and scream and try to retain us locked inside past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is owning stronger and will retain dominance over human development for your following 2000+ years.

Perhaps you will be 1 who believes that we are nonetheless within the Age of Pisces with its history steeped inside the 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. Possibly we might be on that pivotal moment of 144 years wherever we adjust from one age to an additional with all of the mixed messages that arrive from change. What are the possibilities a time of simultaneous death/birth might 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 having our conscious participation. The ages unfold inside a pattern, a predictable cycle of energy a lot more powerful than our understanding and it is not dependent on our person beliefs. The development and also the unfolding in the universe is proper on schedule - the birth happens with or without having our participation or belief. Wherever is your location in this unfolding cycle? The selection is yours.
