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

"When the Moon is in the 7th household and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." the words in 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 many years ago. Even though I love the song and usually sing it at the top of my lungs, astrologically it does not say much, it is just fun. There is so a lot controversy on the Age of Aquarius and after it must begin that I idea a discussion was in order. What's an age? How is it produced? How extended does it last? What's there on the changing of an age that grabs our attention so thoroughly?

We must go back to basics and begin on the fact that astrology is often a study of cycles, long term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, planet orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all of the debris left over in 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 large and involve this sort of enormous time concepts that it's beyond our comprehension. I am going to dispose of people cycles quickly so we can spend our time and notion over a more local and contemporary activations. Think circle, large circle, having a whole bunch of slightly smaller circles contained within it and you will get my picture on the universe. Additionally there could be quite a few universes, only a single of that is ours. Regardless of whether they're 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's growing at a rapid pace.

The modern astronomical notion is that what we call the universe began with a big bang 13+ billion many years ago and has been expanding ever since. What started out 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 in between the internal content also expands. Believe large circle getting bigger, just like everything contained inside it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out into the original void (space), pockets of workout created and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars �- large ones, little ones, long-lived, short lived - with range and quantity beyond imagination. Every time our scientists believe they have a handle on it, it grows and reveals more of itself. Think huge! These pockets of possibility more than billions of years in the universe's life designed into stars with planet entourages, galaxies, and all of the amazing cosmic bodies. There's these kinds of amount that just cataloguing it's daunting to say practically nothing of identifying and explaining it all.

The galaxies are in constant motion and sometimes run into every other. A single may possibly cannibalize another, but constant motion and change stands out as the norm, with amazing differences spawned as being a result. Individuality is universal and conformity is man-made.

Locally our individual galaxy, the Milky Way, is often a hybrid of merging galaxies and will eventually be swallowed up by the significantly bigger Andromeda Galaxy (not anytime soon, do not be nervous). We are part of the local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate close to a well-liked center and I have no thought how long a cycle that would be, I only know that it is an really lengthy cycle. In the contemporary 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 individual galaxy absorbed from a prior galactic collision. Our galaxy spins close to a well-known center that's concept to be a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about � on the way out inside the center on the galaxy. The individual galactic spin takes more than 200 million many years to complete, a large circle that exists inside the bigger circle in the galactic cluster, again, circles within circles.

For our discussion our more individual and manageable circles occur from within our solar system. Every globe has an orbit (circle) at a specific distance in the Sun and those people planets also have small bodies in orbit close to them. All of the matter inside this solar system is bound by the gravitational attraction of the Sun. It's all in continual motion and that motion is essentially circular. Little circles within bigger circles within.... you get the picture.

The particular 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 is certainly � 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 inside 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 one I encountered many years ago, 25,858 years). The backdrop of that circle may 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's typically suggested for your length of a single age. There is a trick to the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards from your zodiac signs instead of the forward order we are used to, so the age signs move backward as well. This astronomical measure is named the Precession of the Equinox (the measuring principle). For ones last couple of thousand many years we now have been in 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 implies that the changing in the age will occur from the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a dilemma with this dating due to the fact the event markers for the Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that simply because you'll find no written instructions, the assumption that all the ages are equal may possibly or may well not be true. If every age is exactly 2160 years (or so) marker to marker then we are nevertheless in the Age of Pisces. If each age just isn't exactly equal as the constellations themselves are not equal, the starting of this new age may already be upon us. I stand over a pisces and aries in the debate. Why? As I stated earlier, evidence...

Uranus, which has been given principal influence more than Aquarius, was recognized in 1781, five years after the start of the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the beginning in the French Revolution. Uranus have been sighted just before discovery but had not been in particular identified. Following that incredible period for individualism and independence came the USA Civil War, the industrial revolution, the era of invention on 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 from the new era cleaving the way into the future.

It is stated that the "2nd coming from the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will come as soon as the "sign of man is inside the heavens." Well we have definitely 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 whether 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 of the earth below. Another profound image may 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 inside vast expanse of space like an baby within the 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. Hold 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 a single point in time. You'll find no fences in between the signs in outer space. There's a falling off of a single sign energy and also the initiation of an additional - a blending or merging that takes about 144 years to complete. Why? Because it takes 72 years for our north pole pointer to do a single degree. Simply because the adjust happens in between the last degree of an existing age and also the very first degree from the new age, that equals 2 degrees by my math, or 144 years of time, to end one age and start the next.

Death of an age would not be any simpler than ordinary death. Birth has by no means been considered easy and that would include the birth of an age. Birth and death are occurring simultaneously which happens at the end of one age and also the starting of its successor. This really is traumatic. Appear around 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 now 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 preserve us locked from the 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 ones next 2000+ years.

Perhaps you are one who believes that we are still within the Age of Pisces with its history steeped in the Age of Aries (always backwards in the 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 might be on that pivotal moment of 144 years in which we change from 1 age to another with all of the mixed messages that occur from change. What are the possibilities a time of simultaneous death/birth may offer? In which do you stand in this? Regardless of whether you "believe" (Pisces) or would prefer to "know" (Aquarius) it'll happen with or without having our conscious participation. The ages unfold in a pattern, a predictable cycle of energy additional strong than our understanding and it is not dependent on our individual beliefs. The development as well as the unfolding of the universe is right on schedule - the birth happens with or with no our participation or belief. Where is your place in this unfolding cycle? The option is yours.
