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.
