The era of Aquarius is the spiritual development of man. What does the New Age of Aquarius bring?

Now we live in the most amazing times, when our planet and all of humanity are transitioning to a new evolutionary stage of development. This is due to the advent of the Age of Aquarius - the next astrological era that will last for the next 2160 years. This is the time when the Earth and all humanity will move into a new, more perfect material and spiritual state, corresponding to a higher level of Consciousness, allowing us to be the Creators of New Life.

What does the new Age of Aquarius bring us?

There is now a large amount of information on the Internet about the new era of Aquarius, but no one can say with certainty the exact date of its onset. The range of versions given by astrologers covers the period from the 1950s to the present. And this is not surprising, since the change of eras is characterized by a large number of events. Many of them are associated with the constellation Aquarius itself and its ruler Uranus, which will influence the development of humanity with its energy for the next 2160 years.

Here are just some versions of the beginning of the Age of Aquarius:
February 2, 1962 – location of all 7 planets in the sign of Aquarius;
October 29, 1969 - the birth of the global Internet;
December 30, 2003 – Uranus crosses the Aquarius-Pisces border;
December 21, 2012 – change of eras according to the Mayan calendar;
December 21, 2020 – conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the first degree of Aquarius.

Only one thing can be said with certainty now - the era of Aquarius is overcoming the remnants of the previous astrological era of Pisces and will finally come into force at the moment when most of humanity and social structures are rebuilt to the value guidelines of the sign of Aquarius.

The previous era of Pisces, which was influenced by such rulers as Neptune and Jupiter, is personified with the religious, mystical and philosophical period of human history. It is not for nothing that it coincided with the arrival and spread of such a powerful religion as Christianity, which was based on the ideas of non-violence, compassion and unconditional love. Each era raises a person to a new stage of development and, having reached its peak, gives the reins of power to its successor for the sake of development at a new level.

So what can we now expect from the Age of Aquarius, which has been waiting for its turn for 26 thousand years? And the answer to this question lies in the characteristics of the sign of Aquarius itself. This incomprehensible and mysterious sign is known for its eccentricity, love of freedom and rebellion, sociability and ability to make friends, sincerity and humanism, developed intuition and innovation, invention and focus on the future.

How is the Age of Aquarius different from the Age of Pisces?

In order to understand what changes await us, it is necessary to make a comparative description of the outgoing era of Pisces and the coming era of Aquarius.

Develop memory, attention and thinking with online trainers

— The idea of ​​Pisces was compassion in the name of cleansing from sins. The main idea of ​​the new era will be the spiritual growth of the individual and the fulfillment of each person’s destiny. Thus, the new era proclaims the cultivation of goodness and harmony in oneself in the name of individual happiness;

— In the era of Pisces, every person, one way or another, was dependent on the established moral norms of the social group. In the era of Aquarius, freedom and independence will be proclaimed, the opportunity to walk your own path in accordance with the Laws of the Cosmos;

— The Age of Pisces was characterized by a person’s belonging to a certain religion. The Age of Aquarius involves going beyond religious dogmas;

— In the era of Pisces, all responsibility for sins was shifted to the Higher Powers. The Age of Aquarius requires a person to be highly aware and responsible for all his thoughts, emotions, words and actions;

— The Age of Pisces was a time of disunity between peoples and states. The Age of Aquarius brings globalization;

— In the family of the Pisces era, patriarchy dominated. In the Age of Aquarius, equality will be formed;

The Age of Pisces told man to fight his “dark side” of nature. The Age of Aquarius will require the development of Subtle Bodies and the Higher Spirit in order to achieve harmony with oneself and the world around us.

— In the Age of Pisces, logical thinking prevailed. In the Age of Aquarius it will become more intuitive;

— In the Age of Pisces, individual activity prevailed. In the Age of Aquarius there will be a desire for collective creativity. Each team member will work to achieve the best overall result;

From the comparison it is already clear that it will be important for each person to quickly adapt to the vibrations of the new era in order to move into it more harmoniously. Therefore, it is worth discarding old stereotypes and starting to switch to a new value system. This means the following:

- first of all, you need to learn to love and respect yourself and every person in the world;

- respect the freedom and choice of another person;

- stop giving in to the manipulation of others;

- open up to real, sincere communication; - listen to the voice of your intuition;

— develop the basic qualities of the “new man”: humanity, altruism, friendliness, and cooperation.

Personality formation in the Age of Aquarius

So, the era of Aquarius is already coming into its own with its own laws, tasks and special energy. But it turns out that a new era has arrived, but not all people were ready for it. But because of this, no one will cancel the evolution of the Cosmos. Everything will go as planned, and only those who are ready to follow it will be taken on the road. The rest will simply be thrown to the sidelines and doomed to a miserable existence.

We are accustomed to the fact that in life we ​​can deceive human laws using various loopholes and techniques. But the laws of the Cosmos are fair and unyielding; they must be understood and obeyed without grumbling or doubt. Whether you like it or not, we did not create this world and we have no right to criticize all this.

In the Age of Aquarius, most of the ready-made population of the Earth will become not consumers, but co-creators with the Higher Powers. Progress in all spheres of human life will develop by leaps and bounds, and it will be necessary to keep up with it. A person in the Age of Aquarius must be prepared for this. That is why there is a growing need to understand the stages of human evolution, find our place on this path and take urgent measures to correspond to the era.

Unfortunately, today there are a huge number of people on Earth whose fate is unenviable, because they are hopelessly behind. But there are people just a little bit below the level. It is for them that the transition between eras was created in order to gain knowledge and take the right path of development. Now we can’t sit idly by. It would be a crime against yourself. No wonder Eastern wisdom says: “God forbid you to be born in an era of change.” But it is no coincidence that you and I were born into this significant and at the same time difficult period of development.

In general, all people living today can be divided into 3 categories:

Man of the Age of Aquarius. These are the people who are ready to live in a new era. They are the models and examples for other people and teachers of those who are behind, but strive for improvement and can manage to reach the desired level for the new era. There are few such people on Earth. Their purpose is to help people who are lagging behind through psychospiritual enlightenment.

Left behind the times. These are the people who have lagged behind the evolution of the Creator’s requirements, but can still eliminate their lag. In an era of change, there are always many difficulties and overcoming them helps to accelerate the development of a person who thinks and strives for improvement. And many souls deliberately chose to come to Earth in order to accelerate their development. The most important thing is that they do not forget about this, since while on Earth there are many traps that lead them astray from the proper path.

Completely retarded. For them, a strict exam has been prepared on Earth for the title of a person of the Aquarian era and the opportunity to come to Earth again. That is why strong temptations and distorted values ​​of life (drugs, sexual excesses, perversions, alcohol, embezzlement and others) are now created for such people. If this exam is not passed, then such souls will go to worlds where Dark forces dominate.

Problems of personality development in the Age of Aquarius

The political, economic and sociocultural transformations taking place in the era of Aquarius will every day exacerbate society’s need for a free, creatively developing, self-determining individual, capable of consciously building his inner spiritual world, making independent moral choices and fully realizing himself throughout his life.

You can already notice how many people are beginning to become interested in the internal mechanisms of personality development. In the near future, the problem of creating conditions under which personal development will be a purposeful, productive and effective process will become increasingly important. There will be an increased need to create as many centers as possible, based on new methods of education.

It is necessary to understand that, indeed, a strong turn towards individual and creative self-development of the individual is possible only with a shift in educational processes from the emphasis on the transfer of knowledge to the spiritual and personal growth of a person, i.e. creating conditions where everyone could self-know themselves, self-determinate and self-improvement. So far, these conditions have not been created, because there is a smooth transition from one era to another. But each individual can now begin his conscious self-development and gain experience in this area for further transmission to future generations.

Sacred time cycles are hidden not only behind the days of the week, lunar months, solar years, but also the life cycle of each person. Astrological models also affect more global time periods of cosmic development, which are reflected in the history of the development of our world. Each culture marks historical periods in its own way and gives them its own names. In Greek mythology, for example, the concept of a golden age appeared and, in general, time periods received their names from the names of metals in accordance with the levels of development. Followers of Aleister Crowley's ceremonial magic distinguish three historical eras: the eras of Isis, Osiris and Horus. Our modern anthropologists, historians and art historians measure and categorize time periods in different ways. Despite these differences, all systems agree that we are on the verge of an important time change. Personally, the calendar of astrological eras simply fascinated me. I think it plays an important role in the process of understanding what we call New Age today.

Before moving directly to the astrological eras, you need to understand that there are two completely different, although interconnected, zodiacs. Herein lies the most important cause of confusion and contradiction. Astrology, even mythical, is based entirely on our ideas, and not on the real movement of the Sun. From our point of view, the Sun circles our planet in the zodiacal circle. The point of view determines the principle of combination. One model is repeated in another. We live according to the model that corresponds to our point of view.

The zodiac appears to us as a “wheel of animals”; it refers us to the ring of constellations through which we pass.

The Sun, Moon and planets as seen from Earth. This zodiac is based on the constellations of the sidereal zodiac. Although it is used in Vedic or Indian astrology, most Western astrologers use the tropical zodiac, based on the orbit surrounding the Earth, clearly divided into thirty-degree segments. The first segment, starting from the vernal equinox, corresponds to the sign of Aries. It is followed by Taurus, and so on for all twelve signs. The tropical zodiac takes into account the earth's seasons more than the positions of the stars.

Once upon a time, the sidereal and tropical zodiacs coincided, but due to the displacement of the earth's axis, the constellation in which the Sun was located during the spring equinox gradually changed. Every seventy-two years the shift was approximately one degree. While astrologers debate the exact time, we can say with certainty that the process of changing from one sign to another takes 2166 years.

This shift, called the procession of the equinoxes, gave rise to the theory that each era, which is approximately 2,000 years long, is governed by the energy of the particular sidereal or sidereal sign in which the Sun is located at the time of the spring equinox. Many believe that we as a culture are making the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, a New Age that, according to ancient prophecies, could become a new golden age of enlightenment and peace. Astrologers argue about when and how this should happen, however, by looking at history through this astrological lens, placing the processes of change and development in a broader context, we begin to see many things much more clearly.

Age of Leo

From 10,966 BC e. to 8830 BC e.

This is the time of the birth of human civilization and the awakening of consciousness, because the planet1 that rules the sign of Leo is the Sun rising over the world, although everything depends on your personal interpretation. Despite the fact that homo sapiens developed much earlier, the decline of the last great ice age was marked by the triumph of a primitive communal civilization, which was characterized by the predominance of hunting and gathering, belief in fertility goddesses and their horned consort gods. In myth, the Age of Leo marks the end of the last great civilizations and their golden age. In Western magical traditions, representatives of these civilizations are called Atlanteans. Although debate continues to this day about the physical evidence of their existence, according to myth, the Atlanteans, a people of highly advanced culture, began to abuse their powers, scientific and magical, and thus destroyed themselves, returning back to the Stone Age, but those who survived planted the seed of mystical development in subsequent cultures of the Ancient World. The ability to manage one's ego and curb pride are the most important lessons of Leo energy, ultimately helping to gain self-respect through the development of internal qualities and spiritual strength, and not at all on the basis of material achievements.

Age of Cancer

From 8830 BC e. to 6664 BC e.

The sign of the great mother symbolizes the birth of matriarchy and the onset of the Neolithic period. People begin to domesticate animals, and agriculture develops. Nomadic life gives way to sedentary life, the division of territories, land and, ultimately, the construction of dwellings begins - the residence of Cancer. This time is characterized by images of fertility and phallic symbols. The civilization of Fr. dates back to this period. Crete and the founding of the city of Jericho.

Age of Gemini

From 6664 BC. e. to 4498 BC e.

During this period, real civilization arose, in the sense in which we understand this term. The Sumerian civilization appears. More “advanced” ideas emerge - Gemini’s hobby, which contribute to the rise of agriculture and the development of irrigation. Small towns and villages grow to the size of large cities, and urban life begins. The language is unified, the first real writing systems appear. Our ideas about trade and industry, the way we exchange thoughts, information and resources, originate from these civilizations. Traditional fertility cults depicted in Sumerian myths abound, with the image of the goddess becoming tripartite: she is depicted as a maiden, mother and crone, or symbolizing the upper, middle and lower worlds. Pantheons of gods become more complex, and forms of worship become more diverse.

Age of Taurus

From 4498 BC e. to 2332 BC e.

The Age of Taurus is known as the Age of the Builders because it was during this time that various cultures developed into the famous civilizations - Egyptian, Minoan, Mesopotamian, Indian. The leading symbol is the bull - the horned god, the sacred spouse and devoted lover of the goddess. Mythology and mysticism became more pronounced in these cultures, giving the pantheon of numerous gods and goddesses the form that is familiar to us today. The system of zodiac signs that has survived to this day, which is used by modern astrologers, was finally formed.

Age of Aries

From 2332 BC. e. to 166 BC e.

Being a fire sign, Aries also has solar characteristics, because the Sun is believed to rise in Aries, which means harmonization and combination of energies. In Egypt, solar religions flourished. The royal cult created by Akhenaten (a very controversial figure) was, in essence, the worship of the solar disk itself - the god Aten - to the exclusion of all other gods. This first "attack" of monotheism did not last long, for after the death of Akhenaten the old religions were revived. According to many Bible scholars, Abraham and Moses lived during this period. Abraham is famous for sacrificing a ram to his god. The eternal archetype of Aries is the warrior, fearlessly moving forward. The Age of Aries is marked by the migration of warring tribes across the European continent and the emergence of empires. The Trojan War and the creation of the Roman Empire date back to this time. The technological leap of this period was embodied in the creation of weapons, because iron is the metal of Aries and its ruling planet Mars. This era is also marked by the flowering of law and justice, the arts, literature and languages, although these areas are under the jurisdiction of the opposite sign of Aries, Libra. The zodiac sign itself and its shadow, the opposite sign, always complement each other and have a mutual influence.

Age of Pisces

From 166 BC e. to 2000 AD e.

The era of dominance of Pisces energy, which is currently in its decline, is marked by the emergence of Christianity as the leading world force. Christianity is most often seen as a monotheistic religion, but in many ways it is also a fertility cult, created around the sacred figure of God, who is both a redeemer and a healer. Although Jesus is one of the last incarnations of the idea of ​​a sacred god, this archetype can be found in the images of Dumuzi, Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus and Mithras. At the highest level, Pisces is a mystic who has connected with the divine and returned to the world, bringing great healing power, insight and inspiration to all people. We must hope that with this insight will come a feeling of spiritual, unconditional love, which is the real, highest Christian value. The other side of Pisces is associated with government institutions, restrictions on freedom and the search for a way out, romance, fanaticism, disappointment and addictions, all of which also characterize the period of the last 2000 years. At this time, there was a genuine flowering of philosophy, science and politics, true divine inspiration, however, the shadow side of Pisces made itself felt. It is noteworthy that the emblem of the sign of Pisces, in fact, the sacred geometric figure of the mandorla - an almond-shaped oval with an image of fish inside, the intersecting circles of which create an eye - has turned into a symbol of Jesus Christ and Christianity in general.

Mandorla - almond-shaped halo, mystical almond, symbolizes deity, holiness, sacred, virginity, vulva. It also means a hole or exit, and its two sides represent opposite poles and all duality.

Age of Aquarius

Since 2000 e. to 4166 AD e.

The Age of Aquarius is surrounded by a whole halo of prophecies and expectations. Some associate it with the end of the world, and in many ways it is the end of the world, the end of one world and the beginning of another, a transition to a new level of consciousness. There is no consensus on exactly when the new era will begin, because the time interval is too long compared to the length of human life. 1905, 1969, 1972, 1987, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2012, 2020 and 2080 were offered as alternatives. I think that, like any turn in history, this change will be powerful, although subtle at first, but the behavior of the unpredictable Aquarius can shock and stun everyone. The highest expression of Aquarius energy is universal equality, a sense of blood brother/sisterhood, replacing hierarchy with equal relationships, service to society, true friendship, celebration of diversity and individuality, revolution, innovation on the technological and spiritual levels leading to the creation of a utopian society, a new golden age of the world and prosperity in all areas of life.

Although capable of these higher forms of embodiment, the energy of Aquarius is contradictory: the particular in it fights against the general, it is eccentric and incapable of listening to the opinions of others, provokes unexpected changes, often cruel, be it natural natural changes or uprisings and military coups. As a result, there are many disappointing forecasts, claiming that the new era will bring terrible and destructive events. However, the basic mystical truth is that we ourselves create our own reality. If we raise our consciousness to a higher level, we can avoid these difficulties. If not, they will become a lesson for us that will teach us how to realize the energy of Aquarius. As in any era, joys and hardships go hand in hand, so pragmatic mystics advise always remembering this and not counting on the help of divine power or other supernatural beings. The tendency of the Age of Aquarius is to take responsibility for one's actions, while remaining a part of society that makes its own unique contribution to the whole. Utopia will come when we create it ourselves.

Western astrology is not the only system of sacred calendars and sacred timekeeping. Eastern astrology has also achieved considerable success in sacred chronology - from the Chinese zodiac to Vedic astrology. The latter identifies major epochs somewhat differently, calling them yugas. In the culture of many native tribes one can find the concept of great eras. The Hopi tribe has a legend about many worlds. Their folklore is very reminiscent of the myths of the Aztecs and Mayans, who operated a very complex chronology system that is gaining popularity in the modern world. The Mayan sacred calendar is considered one of the most accurate and complex systems; with its help it is possible to predict sunspot cycles with certainty - something that modern science has come to quite recently.

People are wondering when the Age of Aquarius will come and what changes it can bring with it.

The change of eras is associated with the shift of the vernal equinox, which completes a full circle in 25,786 years. For the point of the vernal equinox of the Earth to pass one sign of the Zodiac, it needs 2148 years (25,786:12 signs). This means that each era lasts 2148 years.

The change of eras affects the development of the psyche of each person, as well as the collective psyche.

Astrological eras are important as psychotherapy for human consciousness and his soul. Therefore, each zodiac era should teach the soul something. Moreover, the program becomes more complicated with each new era.

In the era of Pisces, the sign of Aries and the element of Fire were influenced by the element of Water. The ruler of Aries, Mars, was influenced by the rulers of Pisces, Jupiter and Neptune.

This influence brought its own difficulties, problems and blessings. At the same time, each sign experienced the pressure of the neighboring sign: Aries - Pisces, Taurus - Aries, Gemini - Taurus, Cancer - Gemini, Leo - Cancer, Virgo - Leo, Libra - Virgo, Scorpio - Libra, Sagittarius - Scorpio, Capricorn - Sagittarius, Aquarius - Capricorn, Pisces - Aquarius.

All signs of the Zodiac had to learn to accept the psychological stress of the neighboring sign and take from it what each of them lacked.

This positive process was supposed to teach a person new qualities and adapt him to the peculiarities of the era. And thus, bring every person to harmony with the world.

But when the neighboring sign exerted the wrong influence, it suppressed the features of the sign in front. And this was no longer progress, but regression.

In order to cope with this process, humanity had to learn to love. After all, only love can reconcile opposites.

Therefore, with the advent of the Age of Pisces, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, came into the world and began to teach people to love each other, and even their enemies.

If this teaching is considered from the point of view of the superposition of constellations with opposite properties, then the genius and timeliness of this teaching becomes obvious.

Let's consider the combination of constellations in the era of Pisces.

ARIES
If Pisces strongly influenced Aries, then Aries became less proactive and more dependent on feelings. Therefore, in order not to depend on feelings, Aries learned to hide their feelings and thoughts deep in their hearts, which made them withdrawn, not sociable, and lonely. It was difficult for them to realize themselves, which made them unhappy and caused mental disorders.
If Pisces influences Aries moderately, then Aries perceives the environment well, feels other people, notices their problems and joys. This helps to get rid of selfishness in a timely manner, fit into any team, set realistic goals, and be practical. They know how to bring the job they start to completion without infringing on other people's interests. They are less categorical and more merciful.

CALF
If Aries strongly influences Taurus, then they become aggressive and despotic. Often their actions are controlled by instincts. Under the influence of Mars, the physiological nature of a person takes precedence over his soul.
If the influence of Aries is exerted on Taurus in moderation, then it brings harmony. Taurus transforms from a tireless, silent worker into active, progressive people, engines of progress. Fire ignites the creative spirit in them, endows them with talents and flight of thought.

TWINS
If Taurus strongly influences Gemini, then they experience a lot of adversity and difficulties. They have to work hard, fight and defend justice. They are often visited by despair, they lose reason and faith in God. Because of this, they can turn into calculating and selfish people.
If the influence of Taurus is harmonious, then Gemini shows the ability to create, construct, create, and cooperate. They are visited by inspiration and great ideas. The results of their work exceed all expectations. By the end of their lives, they acquire a strong faith in God.

CANCER
If Gemini strongly influences Cancers, then they lose the ability to endure and wait for their finest hour. This makes them upstarts who do everything at random. The behavior of some is inappropriate and difficult to explain. Selfishness, prudence and superficiality in judgment appear in the character. Lack of spirituality pushes one to renounce parents and children.
If Gemini influences moderately, harmoniously, then Cancers are engaged in social activities, politics, and actively express themselves in society. It is easy for them to communicate, change their views and habits. The spirit of materialism does not have much influence on their soul. They have faith in God. They can create brilliant works of art.

A LION
If Cancer has a strong influence on Leo, then this disturbs their psyche, making them prone to hysterics and spiritual vices. Passions drive them to extremes. Therefore, they are capable of unpredictable actions. They may experience hatred and indifference towards their children.
If Cancer influences Leo moderately and harmoniously, then Leos perfectly demonstrate their parental feelings. These people are characterized by a sense of duty, mercy, compassion, tact, gentleness, as well as love for the Motherland.

VIRGO
If Leo strongly influences Virgos, then they become overly demanding and picky. They have a tendency towards despotism, flattery, and deception. For the sake of a goal, they can exploit parents, loved ones, children, and not notice the problems of other people.
If Leo influences Virgos moderately and harmoniously, then Virgos spend their entire lives learning and improving their intellect and spiritual qualities. By the end of life they acquire deep faith in God and love for people. They become fighters for justice, promoters of high human qualities. SCALES
If Virgo strongly influences Libra, then they become self-confident, quickly make decisions and often make mistakes. In order not to make mistakes, they use cunning, deceit, and the ability to seduce. They develop the ability to subtly understand the situation and other people, and use this for their own purposes. They become skilled blackmailers and are difficult to get rid of. At the same time, they lose their unique subtle charm and taste.
If Virgo influences in moderation, harmoniously, then Libra feels the need for spiritual growth. Injustice in the world causes them anxiety and creates a desire to bring the world to perfection. They become connoisseurs of beauty who have a great sense of color, sound and harmony in relationships and forms. They can also become fighters for justice, judges, and defenders of law and order.

SCORPION
If Libra strongly influences Scorpios, then they turn into self-confident materialists. Their cunning and cunning doubles, and their foresight runs so far that their plans are difficult to predict. Thanks to such abilities, these people easily manage both the team and events. They can lead criminal clans and manipulate other people.
If Libra influences in moderation, harmoniously, then Scorpios take care of their soul. They are drawn to the mystical, the secret. Therefore, their faith in God becomes so deep that they become true spiritual shepherds of humanity. Some become excellent doctors, healers, with a developed sense of duty.

SAGITTARIUS
If Scorpio strongly influences Sagittarius, then they are predisposed to vices, subject to passions and the accumulation of material values. Money and sex are in the foreground. Their soul is deteriorating. They can get hurt in a fight and become a bully. They often lack a sense of proportion, which makes them lose their minds.
If Scorpio influences moderately and harmoniously, then Sagittarius becomes far-sighted. They know how to work well with information and correctly set tasks and goals. Their actions are guided by a sense of duty. They are characterized by patriotism and nationalism. They accept faith in God and often become preachers of their chosen religion.

CAPRICORN
If Sagittarius strongly influences Capricorns, then they become self-confident, autocratic and demanding of others. They cannot correctly evaluate their behavior. They do not notice what is happening next to them, in society, in the state. Sometimes they can act under the influence of emotions and cause a storm of indignation. Their criticism can turn into caustic sarcasm. Although they themselves cannot tolerate criticism in their direction.
If Sagittarius influences moderately, harmoniously, then Capricorns acquire the ability to sense the passage of time, the needs of society and society. Therefore, they are able to lead a team. These are famous politicians, scientists and figures in other fields.

AQUARIUS
If Capricorn strongly influences Aquarius, then they become dry and callous. They carry their experiences within themselves and do not allow them to come out. Their statements and words become harsh, killing on the spot. They become fans of their work, who, in order to achieve the goal, do not notice the individual person.
If Capricorn influences in moderation, harmoniously, then Aquarius acquires wisdom. They are characterized by both leadership qualities and maternal care. You can rely on them in difficult moments of life. These are true friends, allies, partners.

FISH
If Aquarius strongly influences Pisces, then they become aggressive, intolerant of objections and obstacles. These are “predator fish”, solitary fish. In difficult situations, when they need to show patience, they lose their sense of proportion, try to “cut everything” with one “blow” and take risks. They are attracted to freedom, uncertainty and mystery. They are not careful and careless. Therefore, they may end up in a dangerous environment.
If Aquarius influences moderately, harmoniously, then Pisces becomes active in the team, environment, family. A sense of duty guides their actions. They are loyal to friends and ideals, strive for spiritual wealth, and improve themselves. They believe in God without fanaticism. Therefore they are tolerant of other religions.

AGE OF PISCES

At the beginning of the Pisces era, the sign of Aries did not give up its position. Therefore, the planet Mars, as the ruler of Aries, had a greater influence on the world. International territorial wars were fought very often. Mars even influenced religion, which was introduced by force.

States were formed and built on the basis of faith in God. Strong, talented individuals became rulers of countries. The entire life of mankind was guided by the properties of Aries. Therefore, human talent, willpower and courage were valued. Owning a weapon was a primary necessity and duty.

Over time, Jupiter (the ruler of Pisces) began to limit the influence of Mars, to bring all processes into a system and order. States began to be built on the basis of rules and laws. Politicians learned diplomacy and negotiation skills.

Neptune (the second ruler of Pisces) made this process unstable. Therefore, peace between states was replaced by periods of war.

Mars is still not giving up its positions. In the Age of Pisces, he sought to influence society, associations, states, parties, and families. Mars tried to break them, conquer, subdue them with the help of wars, intrigues, conspiracies, money, and at the same time destroy morality and faith in God in society. Only an association that is based on a system of universal human values ​​can resist it.

Thus, Mars in the Age of Pisces stimulated humanity to search for value systems that could unite and hold people in a certain society.

The task of Jupiter in the era of Pisces is to tame the belligerence of Mars and streamline its influence on humanity. This, in turn, will teach humanity to come to world agreements, take on obligations and fulfill them.

The task of Neptune is to awaken in a person an interest in knowing the truth, to awaken human souls so that in an unconscious state the darkness of unbelief does not cover them. It stimulates humanity to develop a system of education, healthcare, social protection, art, creativity, depth of thinking and perception.

At the turn of the millennium, we are overcome by apocalyptic sentiments. Moreover, we live in a transitional period from the era of Pisces to the era of Aquarius. At this time, ancient prophecies about the Second Coming of Christ, the End of the World, the Last Judgment and the predictions of Nostradamus are remembered... Will we really become witnesses of the Apocalypse?

Humanity, just like an individual, develops according to certain laws and will also one day cease to exist. But in nature, the end of one stage of evolution is always the beginning of another. Haeckel’s biogenetic law is known: “Ontogeny repeats phylogeny,” that is, the development of an organism copies the general development of the species. This means that both human development and human development must have common stages.
According to astrological views, each stage of a person’s life is governed by a certain luminary: childhood - by the Moon, adolescence - by Mercury, youth - Venus, adulthood - the Sun, maturity - Mars, etc. In the same way, humanity goes through stages in its development associated with the same luminaries.
The lunar stage of humanity is characterized by signs that in astrology are associated with the Moon, meaning the inextricable connection of the child with the mother. Therefore, the lunar stage is infancy in the history of mankind. During this period, a Neanderthal man appears, who creates primitive tools of production and has practically no home, but only shelter. He already speaks, but his speech resembles baby babble and has several hundred root words that will form the basis of the future languages ​​of mankind.
The language becomes more perfect at the next, Mercurian, stage. Mercury in astrology is associated with intelligence, dexterity, and cunning. At this stage of development, a person already has articulate speech. He already knows how to sew clothes, fish, hunt, draw, and tame fire. He has separated himself from nature, and it is not nature that rules over him, but clan, tribe, custom. At this stage, the Cro-Magnon appears, which in appearance is almost no different from modern humans.
When humanity enters adolescence, Venus, associated with love, art, housekeeping, and crafts, begins to dominate it. A person creates works of art, he is already able to enjoy beauty. At this time, love arises between a man and a woman in its modern understanding.
The next, Solar, period of humanity lifts man above nature. The sun is power from God. Kingdoms and kings appear, representatives of God on earth, solar cults spread, and man's power over fire reaches such a level that he can melt metal and make tools and jewelry from it. This is the Golden Era of humanity. Ancient Sumer and Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome are bright representatives of this stage of human development.
The Sun is replaced by Mars, which signifies the energy of action, conquest and war. It is not for nothing that the period of transition from the solar stage to the Martian stage is the time of the Great Migration of Peoples, caused by the invasion of barbarians on Rome. The type of power is changing. It now represents the dominance of a military aristocracy led by a king. The Martian period is a period of great military campaigns to the East and from East to West, this is a time of improvement of weapons and methods of war, the invention of gunpowder and firearms.
The sixth stage in human history is associated with Jupiter - wealth, expansion, navigation, discovery of new lands, science. At this stage, scientific discoveries and achievements begin to have a great impact on the life of mankind. There are changes in living standards. Kings lose power, it becomes the power of the rich and wealth. This type of civilization began in England and spread throughout the world and, in full accordance with the nature of Jupiter, reached its highest development in America.
The next planet in the solar system in terms of distance from Earth, Saturn, brings into the world phenomena that correspond to its characteristics. This planet means monolith, stone, crystal. At the seventh stage, a totalitarian type of society is born, where each person, like an atom in a crystal, is strictly in his place and is a “cog in a huge machine.” Saturn rules labor and poverty. Saturn means difficulties, and it is not without reason that creating difficulties and overcoming them was the lot of people in all totalitarian states. Saturn is a ruthless truth and a monstrous lie.
But Saturn in astrology is also Satan. Therefore, the Saturnian period brought to Earth two world wars, concentration camps, anti-God, and the destruction of the Faith and the Church. In a word, the embodiment of hell on Earth, which was predicted by Jesus 2000 years ago and allowed by the Heavenly Father to atone for the heaviest karma of humanity, the karma of Saturn.
Why did our country suffer the most from Saturn? This is a separate conversation. But we should not forget that it was here that the Christian idea received the greatest development. Russia is the country of the Holy Spirit, and the main blow was dealt to it. Saturn rules Capricorn. It is no coincidence that the USSR was formed on December 30, 1922 under this sign. Many will immediately remember that Christ was born on December 25, also under the sign of Capricorn. How is it that the Son of God is under the sign of Satan? This has a special meaning. The final victory over Satan is only possible in his own home, Capricorn, and this victory was won by Christ. And now our country went through the crucifixion on August 19, 1991 and was resurrected on the third day, having won a victory over Satan.
The Saturnian period is over. Power passed to Uranus, which means freedom and individual rights, the destruction of borders, bringing to the fore universal human values, and the destruction of dogmas. The action of Uranus is sudden and radical. The Berlin Wall, built by Saturn, which is characterized by division and demarcation, was destroyed. It was destroyed suddenly and unexpectedly for everyone in just 2 days, a wall that divided the world into two ideologies, West and East. Therefore, 1990 can be considered the beginning of the reign of Uranus. In addition, Uranus is associated with astrology, and it was this year that astrology came out of hiding in our country.
Uranus signifies truth and destroys lies, it gives renewal to the world. His sign is Aquarius, and it is no coincidence that in Russia, which was under the influence of this sign (not to be confused with the USSR), the first president was Aquarius - Yeltsin. And the main events that bring renewal to the whole world are happening and will continue to happen in our country.
But, unfortunately, along with the liberation of individuals and nations, the growth of national self-awareness, Uranus condones nationalism, anarchy, and extremism. God save us from these misfortunes.
What's next?
We see that the time of periods of human development is accelerating, each next stage proceeds several times faster than the previous one. Time has become unusually dense. To predict the future, it is necessary to know the timing of at least several stages. We now know such dates: 1917 - the beginning of the Saturnian period, 1649, the English bourgeois revolution - the beginning of the reign of Jupiter. The Saturnian period ended in 1989. This means that the era of Jupiter lasted 268 years, and the era of Saturn lasted 72 years. The evolution acceleration factor is 3.72. The resulting coefficient allows you to find out the duration of each stage of human history and its beginning.
The Martian period began in the 7th century and lasted 1000 years. The solar period began approximately 20 thousand years ago, the Mercury period - 70,000 years ago, and the Lunar period - 260 thousand years ago.
The obtained dates are consistent with archaeological data. But we are interested in looking into the future. Uranus will rule for 19 years, and in 2009 it will be replaced by Neptune, whose era will highlight spiritual values. A new spiritual teaching will come to earth, and, first of all, it will affect Russia. Neptune will rule for 5 years, and then cede power to Pluto. This will happen in 2015. Pluto signifies unification and new birth. There will be a truly great unification of all humanity, the end of the old world will come and a new one will be born. The 260 thousand year period of history will end, and in 2017 a new person will be born. Pluto, which controls mutations, contributes to the Great Transmutation of humanity, which will take place under the vigilant control of the Lords of Shambhala. A new era of humanity will begin, the Great Resurrection, which Jesus, the Old Testament prophets and saints spoke about. Heaven will come true on Earth. And before that, we should expect the Second Coming of the Savior, who will bring new spiritual teaching to Earth.

The essence of the astrological era

It is impossible to indicate the exact years of change of astrological eras, since it is not clear where exactly the boundaries of the influence of the constellations lie (although it is clear that at the moment of the equinox 11:44 UT on March 20, 2009 - the Sun is near the constellation Pisces, even if you do not look at the boundaries of the constellations ). These boundaries, accepted in modern astronomy (parallel to celestial markings), differ from the boundaries of the constellations drawn by ancient astrologers. It is not even certain that such boundaries existed; Perhaps ancient astrologers considered the entry of the sun into a constellation to be the moment the sun connected with one of the stars of this constellation. At the same time, in Indian astrology, which uses the sidereal zodiac, each zodiacal constellation has a length of 30°, like signs in the tropical zodiac, that is, in the sidereal zodiac, constellations have boundaries not necessarily related to the exact position of their stars.

Precession was discovered by the Greek astrologer Hipparchus in 139 BC. e., although there is a claim that Hipparchus “rediscovered” a previously known fact. However, this evidence is indirect, and therefore it cannot be confidently stated that the world before Hipparchus was familiar with the movement of the vernal equinox.

It is also impossible to say with confidence whether ancient astrologers attached serious importance to this phenomenon. Only a few vague remarks have survived to this day, for example from Macrobius (IV-V centuries AD). The significance of this phenomenon in astrology began in the 70s of the 19th century. The importance of the precessional year was first pointed out by Theosophists and Rosicrucians, although Madame Blavatsky did not consider it worthy of interest.

Until now, in mundane astrology the attitude towards the significance of astrological eras is ambiguous, since the interpretation of history through the prism of the zodiac is too general. For example, the inconsistency with the astrological interpretation of the era of Pisces is striking, since this sign, according to astrological views, is introverted, preferring peace and harmony to some kind of bloody shifts and materialism, which, as we know from history, dominated in the past. At the same time, some astrologers point out that as astrological eras change, changes occur in religion and cults. Thus, the dawn of Christianity corresponds approximately to the beginning of the era of Pisces, and the approximate beginning of the era of Aries accounts for the formation in Ancient Egypt of the cult of the god Amun, who has a ram's head. This series of astrologers argue, therefore, that the astrological era influences the subtle psychological plan of humanity, determining its spiritual and moral values ​​during the period of influence of the astrological era, and does not shape events such as wars or prosperity.

Age of Aquarius

Beginning of the Age of Aquarius

There are a number of named dates according to which the astrological era of Aquarius should begin. Michael Baigent, Nicholas Campion and Charles Harvey provide the following list.

• 1762 : Cheiro, "Book of World Predictions".
• 1811 : Jan.: cit. in Prediction Annual, 1983.
• 1844 : LCDR David Williams in "Aquarian Age", AA Journal vol. xx, no. 1, 1977/78.
• 1881 : Sepharial, op. at David Williams.
• 1881 : This year is also given by Elbert Benjamin (S.S. Zain) who, from the fact that there were 1881 pyramidal inches in the Great Gallery of the Great Pyramid, concluded that the Age of Aquarius began when the Sun entered tropical Aquarius "at 3:48 minutes 24 seconds after noon local time, Washington DC, January 19." (See his "Astrological Lore of All Ages"). This was the date and chart chosen by the English astrologer John Addey, who in 1952-53 carried out considerable work on charts plotted for various European capitals with results which he, in a letter dated 27 October 1981 to C.H., described as "absolutely stunning."
• 1930s: Alice Bailey, “The Externalization of Hierarchy.”
• 1962 : 5 February: John Sturgess, “The Piscean Age and Aquarian Age.” This date is popular among esoteric groups due to the placement of all seven traditional planets in Aquarius on this day. They say that the next World Teacher was born on this day. According to Jeanne Dixon, an American clairvoyant, the Master was born at 07.17 after midnight, “somewhere in the Middle East” (Sturgess). There is some confusion regarding the nature of this teacher in esoteric circles. It is also said that the teacher Dixon predicted is a child of Satan. All prophecies associated with this statement turned out to be false, as were other similar predictions at the turn of the millennium (see A.Wolden). The myth of the birth of the Antichrist in 1962 was invented in the 1890s by the French hoaxer Gabriel Jogand for the purpose of deliberate deception (see Christopher Me Intosh, “Eliphas Levi and the French Occult Revival”).
• 1975 : cit. in A. Woldben, "After Nostradamus".
• Circa 1980: Rabbi Joel Dobbin in "The Astrological Secrets of the Hebrew Sages", 1983. * 1980-1 : W. Baron, "Astrologers" Quarterly, Winter 1983.
• 1997-2200 : C. G. Jung. "The Sign of the Fishes", "Aion". As Hand points out, see 2813 below, Jung's thinking in this case was largely inspired by Nostradamus.
• 2000 : cit. in A. Woldben.
• 2012 : Vedas
• 2023 : ibid.
• 2059 : Dane Rudhyar, "The Lunation Cycle".
• 2130 : cit. in A. Woldben.
• 2156 : cit. from Prediction Annual, 1983.
• 2159 : August: Robert de Luce, “Constellational Astrology according to the Hindu System.”
• 2160 : Charles Carter, "Introduction to Political Astrology", "Towards Aquarius". Paul Councel "Your Stars of Destiny", op. David Williams.
• 2260 : Gavin Arthur, op. in James Webb, The Occult Establishment, 1981.
• 2320 : Zip Dobins, "The Zodiac as a Key to History."
• 2369 : Cyril Fagan, “Zodiacs Old and New.”
• 2375-76 : Powell and Treadgold, “The Sideral Zodiac,” Cyril Fagan, AFA Bulletin, March 1950, op. at David Williams.

• 2441 , Dec: Based on the ayanamsha of L. Narain Roa.
• 2449 : Sepharial, “Why the War Will End in 1917.” Sepharial actually refers to the advent of the “blessed millennium”, and not specifically the era of Aquarius, although the latter was the subject of his consideration.
• 2481 : Sepharial, "The World Horoscope".
• 2500 : David Davidson.
• 2521 : cit. B.V.Raman "A Manual of Hindu Astrology".
• 2544 , Feb.: Based on the Madras Ayanamsa Ephemeris.

• 2725 , July: Based on Reveti ayanamsa.
• 2740 , vernal equinox: “Prediction Annual”, 1983, cited by R.H. Naylor.
• 2813 : Robert Hand, “Essays on Astrology, Para Research,” 1982. “The Age and Constellation of Pisces.” This date, like C. G. Jung's 1997 date above, is based on the precession of the vernal equinox through the actual irregular morphal constellation Pisces, rather than the regular 30-degree sidereal zodiac. It determines the contact of the Aries point with the westernmost star of the constellation, Beta Pisces, the Mouth of the Western Pisces.
• 3000+ : Rupert Gleadow, "origins of Zodiac", based on data given by Fagan based on Langdon's work.

Character of the Age of Aquarius

In astrology, there is no clear opinion about what exactly the era of Aquarius should bring. The views of various authors on this problem largely depend on personal beliefs and worldview.

Thus, among modern esotericists there is a widespread opinion that in this era humanity will achieve harmony and mutual understanding, a high spiritual level. The Age of Aquarius will unite all nations and abolish borders. Material values ​​will play a lesser role compared to spiritual ones.

More restrained authors, who adhere to the point of view according to which the era determines the spiritual and moral ideals of the era, point to the possibility of achieving recognition of the presence of the divine principle in man himself, stopping the projection of these ideas outside, onto various gods or goddesses. Also, the era of Aquarius may point to the idea of ​​achieving inner freedom, when the determining influence on a person’s choice and life path will be his nature and purpose, and not social conditioning.

Perhaps one of the signals of change in the religious and cult sphere is the emergence of thelema, one of the concepts of which is also the idea of ​​​​the onset of a new spiritual eon (era). A possible strong connection between thelema and Aquarius and Uranus may be indicated, for example, by the fact that a surge of interest in it arose in the 60s of the 20th century, in the middle of which Pluto connected with Uranus, which determined the “Uranian” vector of development of culture and fashion .

Age of Aquarius and the Apocalypse

Since the succession of eons in history is characterized by various unrest and crises, such as the crisis of social culture and power during the VI-XI dynasties of the Egyptian pharaohs, various crisis situations are also associated with the advent of the Age of Aquarius, up to the onset of the Christian apocalypse.
