The earth’s revolution around the sun means that the astrological signs run backwards from our vantage point. The Piscean Age is slipping away and it is crucial as we enter the Aquarian Age that the “old world” energy dissolve—be it through cleansing, purging, confusion or chaos. Each Age is about 26,000 years; so there is a cusp, or overlap, when we look at it from the perspective of linear time.

It is important to look at the differences in the times of the signs. In the Piscean Era we have all of human history, so far as we know, for 26,000 years. To name a few examples of the Piscean era’s major moments: Jesus, music, painting, art, poetry, wars—and mass self-deception. Illusions abounded and history is peppered with instances of OOPS! it seemed like a good idea at the time! instances. The thing about Pisces is, the energy is quite dramatic, fantastical and not always realistic. Its symbol is the two fish swimming in opposing directions going in endless circles. If we look at history the cyclical nature of dreams, dramas and destruction is apparent: there have been many “spiritual” yet self-satisfying power struggles.

The sign Aquarius is said to be the sign of astrology itself. The quantum paradigm shift that we have made in the last thirty years has been evidence of the influence. The fact is, the Planet Uranus means business in a crazy, magical, playful way. This is the big time—the Revolution of Evolution. It’s like Quantum to the Sciences; it’s the PSI research to the esoteric; it’s the myth to the mystical; it is metaphor to the inane. This Aquarian spirit will help to bring the love and intellectual balance Beauty, truth, empowerment, humanitarianism will rise again within us all. The genius, the magician, and the mad scientist are all part of the New Earth Energy.

The planet Uranus is thought of as a bit of an angry and unpredictable planet, and the changes can seem violent to some. Most of the world is aware of a transformation taking place in the whole matrix. In the age of Aquarius we will really prove that we should be allowed to stay and be safe, living in love and sharing in harmony with one another. We have the heart, and it’s thanks to all the drama of the Piscean era being so blatantly; well, dramatic and so fantastically creative, that we are now finally too smart to &*#@ it up again.

Getting into Astrology is a good idea if you wish to make the most of this magical powerful energy. For all its humanitarianism and benevolence, this energy has the power to rise above anything imaginable, but if the energy isn’t dealt with mindfully…. Well, I think we all know an Aquarian or two who can serve as examples of lost or long-dormant, huge potential, maybe some who just keep stubbornly working their power against themselves... Many Aquarians will get it together in a huge way; the culmination of many years will make sense as there are cusps in the ages just as with personal birth charts, .particularly the dates that fall near the ending and beginning dates of the signs.

The actual event of the date of the Age of Aquarius has now occurred for real; so there are a lot of surprises in store for us and it’s up to us to bring what we wish into our experience. The water bearer holds the urn that is in the constellation Aquarius. It is said to be the liquid intelligence pouring out of the Urn; it is said to be a distribution enough for all. The sky is not the limit; there is infinite supply and abundance with this intellectual, playful, friendly, generous energy, without question. Perfect timing, don’t you think?
