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

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

We need to go back to basics and begin on the simple fact that astrology is really a understand of cycles, long term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, globe orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all the debris left more than inside formation of our solar procedure for example dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and excellent old space dust. We undoubtedly have a quantity from which to choose. A few of the cycles are so large and involve this kind of enormous time concepts that it's beyond our comprehension. I am going to dispose of those cycles simply so we can spend our time and thought on the additional local and modern activations. Believe circle, large circle, having a whole bunch of slightly little circles contained inside it and you'll get my picture in the universe. Additionally there could possibly be quite a few universes, only one of that is 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 modern astronomical idea 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 being 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 big circle having bigger, such as everything contained within it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out into the original void (space), pockets of workout produced and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars ­- large ones, little ones, long-lived, short lived - with amount and number beyond imagination. Every time our scientists believe they have a handle on it, it grows and reveals much more of itself. Think huge! These pockets of possibility over billions of many years of the universe's life developed into stars with entire world entourages, galaxies, and all the amazing cosmic bodies. There's this kind of range 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 each other. One may cannibalize another, but constant motion and improve stands out as the norm, with amazing differences spawned as a result. Individuality is universal and conformity is man-made.

Locally our very own galaxy, the Milky Way, is really a hybrid of merging galaxies and will eventually be swallowed up by the much bigger Andromeda Galaxy (not anytime soon, do not be nervous). We are component of the local cluster of about 30 galaxies that rotate around a well-known center and I have no idea how lengthy a cycle that would be, I only know that it's an very long cycle. On the modern day 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 very own galaxy absorbed from a prior galactic collision. Our galaxy spins close to a well-known center that may be idea to become a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ on the way out during the center of the galaxy. The person galactic spin takes more than 200 million many years to complete, a huge circle that exists within the bigger circle in the galactic cluster, again, circles within circles.

For our discussion our additional personal and manageable circles come from inside our solar system. Every world has an orbit (circle) at a specific distance from the Sun and people planets also have tiny bodies in orbit close to them. All the matter within this solar procedure is bound by the gravitational attraction on 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 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 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 years to perform (different sources supply numerous figures; the source I use was the first 1 I encountered many years ago, 25,858 years). The backdrop of that circle stands out as 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 typically advised for ones length of the single age. There's a trick towards ages. The polar wobble moves backwards in the zodiac signs instead of the forward order we are applied to, so the age signs move backward as well. This astronomical measure is referred to as the Precession on the Equinox (the measuring principle). For the last couple of thousand many years we have been during the Age of Pisces and we now have already or are about to move to the Age of Aquarius.

There is a specific measuring principle that means that the changing on the age will occur within the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a issue with this dating simply because the event markers for the Age of Aquarius are already in evidence. My explanation is that mainly because you will discover 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 nevertheless 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 possibly already be upon us. I stand over a pisces and aries with the debate. Why? As I mentioned earlier, evidence...

Uranus, which has been given principal influence over Aquarius, was recognized in 1781, 5 years right after the start on the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the starting from the French Revolution. Uranus were sighted ahead of 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 from the steam engine, the automobile, the plane, the bombs and rockets, space flight and more. All of they're based in revolution, independence and invention and flirted on the new era cleaving the way into the future.

It is mentioned that the "2nd coming of the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will occur when the "sign of man is during the heavens." Well we have surely done that. We 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 or not to duck a piece of space junk.

The most incredible picture to me is that from the black sky of space from the white-suited astronaut hanging more than the semi-arc with the earth below. One more profound image will be the familiar picture of Astronaut Ed White tethered to a Gemini spacecraft in 1965. The "tether" he was tests is anchored like an umbilical chord as the very first American man floated and turned in the vast expanse of space like an baby from the womb with the universe. The sign of man is already in the heavens and it is inventive, innovative, revolutionary, independent and futuristic... all Uranus/Aquarius keywords. Preserve in mind that Aquarius itself is called "the sign of man" and that is certainly the symbolism that accompanies it astrologically.

Also, the changing of an age isn't 1 point in time. You'll find no fences among the signs in outer space. There's a falling off of one 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 accomplish 1 degree. Mainly because the change occurs among the last degree of an existing age and also the first degree from the new age, that equals a couple of degrees by my math, or 144 many years of time, to end 1 age and start the next.

Death of an age would not be any easier 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 occurs at the end of a single age and the starting of its successor. That is traumatic. Seem 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 have moved from 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 within the past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is owning stronger and will maintain dominance over human development for your next 2000+ years.

Perhaps you will be a single who believes that we are nonetheless inside the Age of Pisces with its history steeped inside 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 could be on that pivotal moment of 144 years in which we adjust from 1 age to another with all of the mixed messages that come from change. What are the possibilities a time of simultaneous death/birth may well offer? Wherever do you stand in this? Regardless of whether you "believe" (Pisces) or would prefer to "know" (Aquarius) it'll happen with or without 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 individual beliefs. The development as well as the unfolding with the universe is right on schedule - the birth happens with or with no our participation or belief. Exactly where is your place in this unfolding cycle? The option is yours.
