The Age of Aquarius is an astrological age associated with the idea of “the age of enlightenment” and the “New Age” movement.
There are numerous disagreements as to when the Age of Aquarius started and when it has or will end. Some astrologers agree it may have begun as early 1844. Some say that the Age of Aquarius will start in 2160, but others say that it already ended in 2011.
According to Rosemary Ellen Guiley in her Encyclopedia of the Strange, Mystical, & Unexplained:
“The disparities in dates are due to the backward drift of the vernal equinox through the zodiac.”
Regardless of the finer details of dates, the Age of Aquarius is a time of change and progress. It is a time when people will become more interested in their own spiritual development, and a time when the world will become more peaceful and harmonious.
The Astrological Ages
The astrological ages are a product of astrology, which is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial objects as they relate to human affairs. Astrologers believe that the positions of the planets and other celestial objects can be used to predict the future.
The astrological ages are based on the zodiac, which is a belt of 12 constellations that the sun appears to pass through over the course of a year.
The zodiac is divided into 12 astrological houses, each of which is associated with a different sign. Each sign is associated with a different astrological age.
The astrological ages are based on the premise that the sun passes through one of the 12 zodiacal signs every 2,160 years. However, this is not a precise measurement. The actual length of each astrological age can vary by a few years.
What to expect
The Age of Aquarius is a time of great change, where people will become more open-minded and accepting of others. This is a time of new beginnings, where people will break away from the norms and traditions of the past. The Age of Aquarius is a time of freedom and liberation, where people will be able to express themselves freely and without judgement.
During the Age of Aquarius, people will become more interested in personal growth and self-improvement. They will be more interested in exploring their spiritual side, and in learning about new and different religions. People will also become more environmentally conscious, and will start to take steps to protect our planet.
