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

"When the Moon is inside the 7th home and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." the words during the aquarius woman scorpio man for the coming on the Age of Aquarius performed by the singing group The Fifth Dimension grabbed our attention over 20 years ago. Even though I adore 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 a lot controversy for the Age of Aquarius and once it must begin that I thought 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 begin from the reality that astrology is often a understand of cycles, extended term, short term, universal, multi-versal, cosmic, galactic, solar system, globe orbit, satellite or moon. Then add all of the debris left more than inside the formation of our solar system for instance dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and very good old space dust. We surely have a quantity from which to choose. A few of the cycles are so huge and involve such enormous time concepts that it's beyond our comprehension. I will dispose of those people cycles very easily so we can spend our time and thought over a much more local and modern day activations. Believe circle, big circle, having a whole bunch of slightly modest circles contained inside it and you'll get my picture on the universe. Additionally there could possibly be many universes, only a single of that is ours. Regardless of whether they are in any way inter-related or on a variety of 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 modern-day astronomical thought is that what we call the universe began with a large bang 13+ billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. What began 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. Think large circle owning bigger, including everything contained inside it on some level or in some manner. As the universe blasted out into the original void (space), pockets of exercise formulated and stellar nurseries spawned billions of stars ­- big ones, modest ones, long-lived, short lived - with range and range beyond imagination. Each time our scientists believe they've a handle on it, it grows and reveals far more of itself. Think huge! These pockets of possibility over billions of many years in the universe's life designed into stars with world entourages, galaxies, and all of the amazing cosmic bodies. There is such range that just cataloguing it's daunting to say nothing of identifying and explaining it all.

The galaxies are in constant motion and sometimes run into each other. One may possibly cannibalize another, but constant motion and improve may be 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 component of a 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 very lengthy cycle. From the modern day political debate about immigration, I laughed once 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 close to a well-known center which is thought to be a black hole. We exist on an outer spiral band about ¾ from the way out during the center on the galaxy. The individual galactic spin takes over 200 million many years to complete, a large circle that exists inside the larger circle in the galactic cluster, again, circles within circles.

For our discussion our far more individual and manageable circles come from inside our solar system. Every world has an orbit (circle) at a specific distance during the Sun and those planets also have smaller bodies in orbit around them. All of the matter within this solar program is bound by the gravitational attraction of the Sun. It's all in continual motion and that motion is basically circular. Smaller 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 with 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 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 perform (different sources offer numerous figures; the source I use was the first one I encountered many years ago, 25,858 years). The backdrop of that circle could be the constellational zodiac of twelve signs. The rounded off version is 26,000 many years divided by 12 signs or approximately 2,160 many years per sign and is what is generally recommended for the length of the single age. There's a trick on the ages. The polar wobble moves backwards in the 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 from the Equinox (the measuring principle). For the last couple of thousand years we now have been inside the Age of Pisces and we now have already or are about to move to the Age of Aquarius.

There is a particular measuring principle that signifies that the changing on the age will occur from the 24 to 2600s AD. I have a issue 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 the ages are equal may possibly or may possibly not be true. If each age is exactly 2160 many years (or so) marker to marker then we are even now in the Age of Pisces. If each age isn't exactly equal as the constellations themselves aren't equal, the beginning of this new age may already be upon us. I stand on the pisces and aries from the debate. Why? As I stated earlier, evidence...

Uranus, which has been given primary influence over Aquarius, was identified in 1781, 5 many years following the begin from the USA Revolutionary War. That year also marked the beginning with the French Revolution. Uranus were sighted just before discovery but had not been particularly 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 are based in revolution, independence and invention and flirted on the new era cleaving the way into the future.

It is stated that the "2nd coming on the Avatar" (spiritual leader) will occur when the "sign of man is within the heavens." Well we have certainly 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 on the black sky of space with the white-suited astronaut hanging more than the semi-arc of the earth below. One more profound image is 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 very first American man floated and turned inside the vast expanse of space like an child inside the womb of the universe. The sign of man is already during the heavens and it is 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 may be the symbolism that accompanies it astrologically.

Also, the changing of an age is not 1 point in time. You will find no fences among the signs in outer space. There is 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? Because it takes 72 many years for our north pole pointer to do one degree. Due to the fact the transform happens in between the last degree of an existing age as well as the first degree with the new age, that equals two degrees by my math, or 144 many years of time, to end 1 age and begin the next.

Death of an age would not be any easier than ordinary death. Birth has in no way been considered 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 commencing of its successor. That is traumatic. Appear around you at our contemporary experience. And you volunteered to be the following 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 inside the age of believing (emotion not necessarily based in fact) for 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 have to learn, know, explore, invent and move toward the future. The remnants of Pisces will kick and scream and try to maintain us locked within the past because-the dying age will try to cling to life. The coming age is getting stronger and will maintain dominance more than human development for ones next 2000+ years.

Perhaps you're one who believes that we are even now in the Age of Pisces with its history steeped inside 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. Maybe we might be on that pivotal moment of 144 years exactly where 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 well offer? Exactly where do you stand in this? Whether you "believe" (Pisces) or would prefer to "know" (Aquarius) it is going to happen with or without the need of our conscious participation. The ages unfold inside a pattern, a predictable cycle of energy more powerful than our understanding and it's not dependent on our person beliefs. The development as well as the unfolding on the universe is right on schedule - the birth occurs with or without having our participation or belief. Where is your place in this unfolding cycle? The option is yours.
