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

"When the Moon is during the 7th residence and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." the words inside aquarius woman scorpio man about the coming on the Age of Aquarius performed by the singing group The Fifth Dimension grabbed our attention more than 20 years ago. Whilst I adore the song and often sing it at the top of my lungs, astrologically it does not say much, it is just fun. There is so much controversy around the Age of Aquarius and after it need to start that I thought a discussion was in order. What's an age? How is it produced? How long does it last? What is there on the changing of an age that grabs our attention so thoroughly?

We have to go back to basics and start with the reality that astrology is a learn of cycles, extended term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, entire world orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all the debris left over during the formation of our solar system such as dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and great old space dust. We certainly have a quantity from which to choose. A few of the cycles are so large and involve such enormous time concepts that it is beyond our comprehension. I am going to dispose of those cycles simply so we can spend our time and thought over a much more local and current activations. Believe circle, large circle, using a whole bunch of slightly modest circles contained within it and you'll get my picture from the universe. Additionally there could be quite a few universes, only one of that is ours. Whether they are in any way inter-related or on various 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 contemporary astronomical thought is that what we call the universe started having a large bang 13+ billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. What started like 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 having bigger, including everything contained inside it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out to the original void (space), pockets of workout created and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars ­- large ones, tiny ones, long-lived, short lived - with range and quantity beyond imagination. Every time our scientists believe 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 developed into stars with entire world entourages, galaxies, and all of the amazing cosmic bodies. There is such variety that just cataloguing it is daunting to say nothing of identifying and explaining it all.

The galaxies are in constant motion and sometimes run into every other. A single may cannibalize another, but constant motion and improve could be the norm, with incredible differences spawned as 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, don't be nervous). We are component of the local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate close to a common center and I have no notion how extended a cycle that would be, I only know that it is an incredibly lengthy cycle. Of the modern-day political debate about immigration, I laughed after 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 which is idea to be a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ on the way out in the center with the galaxy. The person galactic spin takes over 200 million years to complete, a huge circle that exists inside the larger circle on the galactic cluster, again, circles within circles.

For our discussion our additional own and manageable circles occur from inside our solar system. Every planet has an orbit (circle) at a particular distance during the Sun and individuals planets also have modest bodies in orbit around them. All the matter within this solar procedure is bound by the gravitational attraction in the Sun. It is all in continual motion and that motion is basically circular. Smaller circles inside 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 from the Earth. We are also orbited by a satellite (our Moon) that is certainly ¼ our size and exerts a magnetic pull of its own. As we rotate and orbit, we wobble slightly on our axis as being a spinning top. That wobble is measurable and traces out a circle in the sky that takes just under 26,000 years to accomplish (different sources provide different figures; the source I use was the very first one I encountered many 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 years divided by 12 signs or approximately 2,160 many years per sign and is what's usually suggested for the length of the single age. There's a trick for the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards from your zodiac signs rather than the forward order we are employed to, so the age signs move backward as well. This astronomical measure is referred to as the Precession with the Equinox (the measuring principle). For the last couple of thousand many years we now have been in the Age of Pisces and we now have already or are about to move into the Age of Aquarius.

There is a specific measuring principle that implies that the changing in the age will arrive inside the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a difficulty with this dating due to the fact the event markers for the Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that mainly because you can find no written instructions, the assumption that all the ages are equal may well or may well not be true. If each age is exactly 2160 years (or so) marker to marker then we are nevertheless from the Age of Pisces. If every age just isn't exactly equal as the constellations themselves aren't equal, the starting of this new age may possibly 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 principal influence more than Aquarius, was identified in 1781, five years right after the begin on the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the beginning in the French Revolution. Uranus had been sighted before discovery but had not been specially 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 they are based in revolution, independence and invention and flirted of the new era cleaving the way into the future.

It is mentioned that the "2nd coming in the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will come when the "sign of man is inside the heavens." Well we have definitely done that. We 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 in the black sky of space in the white-suited astronaut hanging over the semi-arc on the earth below. An additional profound image is 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 first American man floated and turned from the vast expanse of space like an child in the womb in the universe. The sign of man is already inside the heavens and it's 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 is not 1 thing in time. You can find no fences between the signs in outer space. There's a falling off of a single sign energy as well as the initiation of an additional - a blending or merging that takes about 144 years to complete. Why? Since it takes 72 years for our north pole pointer to complete one degree. Simply because the improve occurs among the last degree of an existing age and the first degree of the new age, that equals a couple of degrees by my math, or 144 many years of time, to end a single age and begin the next.

Death of an age would not be any easier than ordinary death. Birth has never been regarded as 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 starting of its successor. This really is traumatic. Look around 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 now have moved from 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 have to learn, know, explore, invent and move toward the future. The remnants of Pisces will kick and scream and try to keep us locked within the past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is acquiring stronger and will hold dominance more than human development for ones following 2000+ years.

Perhaps you might be a single who believes that we are nevertheless within the Age of Pisces with its history steeped from 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. Possibly we might be on that pivotal moment of 144 years in which we change from one age to one more with all the mixed messages that come from change. What are the possibilities a time of simultaneous death/birth may perhaps offer? Exactly where do you stand in this? Whether you "believe" (Pisces) or would prefer to "know" (Aquarius) it will happen with or without the need of our conscious participation. The ages unfold inside a pattern, a predictable cycle of energy much more powerful than our understanding and it's not dependent on our person beliefs. The development as well as the unfolding from the universe is appropriate on schedule - the birth happens with or with out our participation or belief. Where is your place in this unfolding cycle? The option is yours.
