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

"When the Moon is inside 7th residence and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." the words during the This external link was removed for your protection about the coming in the Age of Aquarius performed by the singing group The Fifth Dimension grabbed our attention more than 20 many years ago. While I adore the song and typically sing it at the top of my lungs, astrologically it doesn't say much, it is just fun. There's so much controversy around the Age of Aquarius and once it must begin that I idea a discussion was in order. What is an age? How is it produced? How extended does it last? What's there about the changing of an age that grabs our attention so thoroughly?

We must go back to basics and start from the fact that astrology is often a discover of cycles, lengthy term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, world orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all the debris left more than from the formation of our solar technique for example dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and beneficial old space dust. We absolutely have a variety from which to choose. A few 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 those cycles quickly so we can spend our time and concept on the more local and modern activations. Believe circle, large circle, having a whole bunch of slightly smaller circles contained inside it and you'll get my picture from the universe. Additionally there could be numerous universes, only a single of that may be ours. Regardless of whether they're in any way inter-related or on numerous 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 current 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 started out being a singularity exploded out into multiplicity and everything is contained within 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 owning bigger, such as everything contained within it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out to the original void (space), pockets of activity created and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars ­- large ones, smaller 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 additional of itself. Think huge! These pockets of possibility over billions of years from the universe's life formulated into stars with planet entourages, galaxies, and all of the amazing cosmic bodies. There is such variety that just cataloguing it's daunting to say absolutely nothing of identifying and explaining it all.

The galaxies are in constant motion and sometimes run into every other. A single may perhaps cannibalize another, but constant motion and transform 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 often a hybrid of merging galaxies and will eventually be swallowed up by the much bigger Andromeda Galaxy (not anytime soon, don't be nervous). We are part of a local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate close to a common center and I have no notion how long a cycle that would be, I only know that it's an extremely lengthy cycle. In the modern day 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 unique galaxy absorbed from a prior galactic collision. Our galaxy spins around a well-known center that may be thought being a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ in the way out during the center in the galaxy. The individual galactic spin takes more than 200 million years to complete, a huge circle that exists during the larger circle from the galactic cluster, again, circles within circles.

For our discussion our far more individual and manageable circles come from within our solar system. Every entire world has an orbit (circle) at a specific distance in the Sun and people planets also have little bodies in orbit close to them. All the matter within this solar method is bound by the gravitational attraction on the Sun. It's all in continual motion and that motion is basically circular. Smaller circles within larger 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 with 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 being a spinning top. That wobble is measurable and traces out a circle during the sky that takes just under 26,000 many years to complete (different sources supply numerous figures; the source I use was the very 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 years divided by 12 signs or approximately 2,160 many years per sign and is what is generally recommended for the length of a single age. There's a trick for the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards through the zodiac signs rather than the forward order we are applied 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 your last couple of thousand many years we now have been from 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 means how the changing on the age will arrive inside 24 to 2600s AD. I have a issue with this dating due to the fact the event markers for ones Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that because you will find no written instructions, the assumption that all the ages are equal may or may not be true. If every age is exactly 2160 years (or so) marker to marker then we are even now within the Age of Pisces. If every age is not exactly equal as the constellations themselves are not equal, the commencing of this new age may well already be upon us. I stand on the This external link was removed for your protection from the debate. Why? As I said earlier, evidence...

Uranus, which has been given main influence over Aquarius, was identified in 1781, five many years after the begin of the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the starting with the French Revolution. Uranus had been sighted just before discovery but had not been specially identified. Right after that amazing 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 may be based in revolution, independence and invention and flirted in the new era cleaving the way into the future.

It is stated that the "2nd coming with the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will arrive as soon as the "sign of man is during the heavens." Well we have surely 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 amazing picture to me is that of the black sky of space from the white-suited astronaut hanging over the semi-arc from 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 testing is anchored like an umbilical chord as the first American man floated and turned within 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 referred to as "the sign of man" and that is certainly the symbolism that accompanies it astrologically.

Also, the changing of an age just isn't a single thing in time. You will discover no fences in between the signs in outer space. There's a falling off of 1 sign energy as well as the initiation of one more - a blending or merging that takes about 144 years to complete. Why? As it takes 72 many years for our north pole pointer to complete 1 degree. Simply because the improve happens in between the last degree of an existing age and the very first degree with the new age, that equals 2 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 simpler than ordinary death. Birth has in no way been considered simple and that would include the birth of an age. Birth and death are occurring simultaneously which happens at the end of a single age as well as the commencing of its successor. That is traumatic. Look around you at our contemporary experience. And you volunteered to become right here at this time...brave you.

To my mind we now 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) to 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 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 inside the past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is owning stronger and will keep dominance over human development for the following 2000+ years.

Perhaps you will be a single who believes that we are nonetheless from the Age of Pisces with its history steeped inside Age of Aries (always backwards from the 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 years in which we improve from one age to one more with all of 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 more powerful than our understanding and it's not dependent on our person beliefs. The development and the unfolding from the universe is appropriate on schedule - the birth happens with or without having our participation or belief. Wherever is your place in this unfolding cycle? The selection is yours.
