Astrological Alternatives - Age of Aquarius - When, Where, Why and How
"When the Moon is within the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." the words from the aquarius woman scorpio man for the coming of the Age of Aquarius performed by the singing group The Fifth Dimension grabbed our attention over 20 years ago. While I adore the song and frequently sing it at the top of my lungs, astrologically it doesn't say much, it is just fun. There is so a lot controversy around the Age of Aquarius and as soon as it ought to start that I thought a discussion was in order. What's 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 have to go back to basics and begin with the fact that astrology is often a study of cycles, extended term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, planet orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all the debris left over during the formation of our solar system for example dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and very good old space dust. We absolutely have a quantity from which to choose. Some of the cycles are so huge and involve this sort of enormous time concepts that it is beyond our comprehension. I will dispose of people cycles effortlessly so we can spend our time and notion on the a lot more local and modern activations. Believe circle, large circle, with a whole bunch of slightly modest circles contained within it and you will get my picture in the universe. Additionally there might be many universes, only a single of that is certainly ours. Regardless of whether they are in any way inter-related or on various wavelengths or dimensions is component of an ongoing discussion. Whatever the answer is, our universe is immense and it is growing at a rapid pace.
The current astronomical concept is that what we call the universe began having a big bang 13+ billion many years ago and has been expanding ever since. What started out 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 among the internal content also expands. Believe large circle obtaining bigger, for example everything contained inside it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out into the original void (space), pockets of workout designed and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars - big ones, tiny ones, long-lived, short lived - with variety and amount beyond imagination. Each time our scientists think they've a handle on it, it grows and reveals more of itself. Believe huge! These pockets of possibility over billions of many years with the universe's life produced into stars with globe entourages, galaxies, and all the amazing cosmic bodies. There's this kind of range that just cataloguing it is daunting to say practically nothing of identifying and explaining it all.
The galaxies are in constant motion and sometimes run into every other. One may cannibalize another, but constant motion and change will be the norm, with incredible differences spawned as being 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 larger Andromeda Galaxy (not anytime soon, do not be nervous). We are component of a local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate around a common center and I have no idea how long a cycle that would be, I only know that it's an incredibly lengthy cycle. From the current political debate about immigration, I laughed when 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 popular center that is certainly concept being a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ with the way out within the center from the galaxy. The person galactic spin takes over 200 million years to complete, a large circle that exists inside the bigger circle in the galactic cluster, again, circles inside circles.
For our discussion our more individual and manageable circles arrive from within our solar system. Each planet has an orbit (circle) at a specific distance within the Sun and people planets also have tiny bodies in orbit around them. All of the matter within this solar procedure is bound by the gravitational attraction of the Sun. It is all in continual motion and that motion is basically circular. Small 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 on 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 as a spinning top. That wobble is measurable and traces out a circle within the sky that takes just under 26,000 many years to complete (different sources provide several figures; the source I use was the very first 1 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 years per sign and is what is generally suggested for ones length of the single age. There is a trick on the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards through the zodiac signs instead of the forward order we are used to, so the age signs move backward as well. This astronomical measure is referred to as the Precession from the Equinox (the measuring principle). For the last couple of thousand years we now have been inside the Age of Pisces and we have already or are about to move to the Age of Aquarius.
There is a particular measuring principle that signifies that the changing from the age will occur inside the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a problem with this dating mainly because the event markers to your Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that mainly because you will discover no written instructions, the assumption that all of the ages are equal may or might not be true. If each age is exactly 2160 many years (or so) marker to marker then we are still from the Age of Pisces. If each age is not exactly equal as the constellations themselves are not equal, the commencing of this new age may perhaps already be upon us. I stand on the pisces and aries of the debate. Why? As I mentioned earlier, evidence...
Uranus, which has been given primary influence over Aquarius, was known in 1781, five years after the begin with the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the beginning of the French Revolution. Uranus were sighted previous to discovery but had not been specially identified. Following that incredible period for individualism and independence came the USA Civil War, the industrial revolution, the era of invention with the steam engine, the automobile, the plane, the bombs and rockets, space flight and more. All of they are based in revolution, independence and invention and flirted of the new era cleaving the way into the future.
It is said that the "2nd coming in the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will occur as soon as the "sign of man is from the heavens." Well we now have certainly done that. We now have left space debris scattered from the following to out past the edges of our solar system. The space station recently had to decide regardless of whether to duck a piece of space junk.
The most incredible picture to me is that on the black sky of space from the white-suited astronaut hanging over the semi-arc on the earth below. Another profound image could be the familiar picture of Astronaut Ed White tethered to a Gemini spacecraft in 1965. The "tether" he was screening is anchored like an umbilical chord as the first American man floated and turned inside vast expanse of space like an child inside womb on the universe. The sign of man is already within the heavens and it's inventive, innovative, revolutionary, independent and futuristic... all Uranus/Aquarius keywords. Maintain 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 is not 1 issue in time. You'll find no fences between the signs in outer space. There's a falling off of one sign energy and also the initiation of another - a blending or merging that takes about 144 many years to complete. Why? Because it takes 72 many years for our north pole pointer to try and do one degree. Mainly because the alter happens in between the last degree of an existing age and also the first degree on the new age, that equals a couple of degrees by my math, or 144 years of time, to end a single age and begin the next.
Death of an age would not be any simpler than ordinary death. Birth has by no means been regarded as easy 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. That is traumatic. Appear close to you at our modern day 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 in the age of believing (emotion not necessarily based in fact) on the age of knowing (intellectual, knowledge as our friend). To me Pisces is our immediate history, our heritage that we had 2000 or so many years to learn, It includes our habits, our knowledge, our beliefs, our existing environmental patterning - all that we now 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 retain us locked inside the past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is owning stronger and will retain dominance more than human development for your following 2000+ years.
Perhaps you will be 1 who believes that we are even now from 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 types and religious beliefs, the savior/victim mentality with domination or war as our heritage. Perhaps we could be on that pivotal moment of 144 years wherever we improve from a single age to another with all the mixed messages that occur from change. What are the possibilities a time of simultaneous death/birth may perhaps offer? Wherever do you stand in this? 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 in a pattern, a predictable cycle of energy much more strong than our understanding and it is not dependent on our individual beliefs. The development and also the unfolding of the universe is correct on schedule - the birth occurs with or with out our participation or belief. Wherever is your location in this unfolding cycle? The alternative is yours.
