The Age of Aquarius

Several years ago there was a great deal of discussion regarding the impending
Age of Aquarius.  Now from time to time I hear folksy references to the Age of
Aquarius.  If you are interested, but have not had the time to study this phrase,  I
am providing below a description of what this title means.

We know that annually the earth travels around the sun making a complete cycle
that includes four seasons.  Slowly over a period of about 2100 years the earth
progresses every so slightly backwards through the zodiac. Currently the earth is
crossing over from an alignment with Pisces to the beginning of Aquarius.  In other
words, on the first day of Spring each year the earth aligns a little less than it’s
previous position with Pisces in the prior year, ever so slowly it is processing
backwards in its annual cycle.  If you were to draw an intersecting line from the
sun, through the earth directly to the Pisces, you would note that the line is
entering the space of Aquarius.   It’s estimated by many Astrologers that the point
of intersection will be well within Aquarius sometime between the years 2100 and
2160.  You might be wondering why an exact date is not available.  Perhaps some
Astrologer/Astronomer has pinpointed the precise date, but for now I do know that
the issue involves where exactly that dividing line should be, in that there is a vast
amount of space between Pisces and Aquarius.   

Each of the ages seems to have characteristics that reflect similar characteristics
identified with it’s sign namesake.   So many were/are excited about the idea of an
Aquarian age.  Because  the sign Aquarius suggests a time that is dedicated to
friendships, social welfare, science and hope.   But what is often over looked is
that Aquarius is also often referenced to major catastrophes.  Each sign and it’s
“age” has it’s own set of positive and negative characteristics.  So, entering into
the “age of Aquarius” may bring many new large scale trends in humanities
history, but those trends are not all necessarily happy occasions.
