The Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius
Astrology's
studies basic principle is that cosmic bodies — the sun, moon, planets, and
constellations — have influence over or are correlated with earthly events. Astrology
unveils to us the influence celestial bodies have on our personal life as well
as the collective; as we have been transiting from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, the next few days will be of
extreme importance for a good transition. Let´s see why and how we as responsible
collective may help.
On the
cosmic level, we know there are twelve constellations across the zodiac. These
make up the natural zodiac; they do not move and always remain in the same
place around the zodiac. However, because of a particular movement of the
Earth's pole, the Sun crosses the Equator at a slightly different point every
year. With the passing years, this point shifts from one degree approximately
every 72 years and shifts signs approximately every 2,156 years. This movement
is called precession of the equinoxes.
A complete cycle lasts around 25,868 years. At the end of each cycle, there is
complete synchronization between each sign and each constellation.
Every 2,156
years, a new age begins. From 498 AD to the year 2,654, the spring equinox
occurs in the Pisces constellation, so technically we are still in the Age of
Pisces, but we at the same time transiting to the Age of Aquarius.
The Age of Pisces
The symbol
of fish serves to interpret the Age of Pisces. This age's influence has lasted
for at least two thousand years. The sign of Pisces is a sign of sacrifice,
charity, mercy, compassion and pardon.
The sign of
Pisces is associated with Neptune, faith and divinity. During the Age of
Pisces, all humanity was invited to believe in God. The lives of martyrs,
strong believers, were ended in the worst tortures, as a proof of their faith.
Since the
Age of Pisces is not yet over, we still feel its effects: in fact, religious
wars are still raging on in the world, although these occurrences will
progressively disappear as we are influenced by the Age of Aquarius. In fact,
the sign of Pisces is the symbol of forgiveness, of secrecy, of seclusion.
Finally,
Venus, the planet of love, is dignified in the sign of Pisces.
The Age of Aquarius
As
previously mentioned, technically speaking, around the year 2,654, we will
experience the Age of Aquarius to its maximum, although until then, we will
feel its influence increasingly.
It is an
age characterized by technical progress, by technology, by spectacular inventions
created by science.
The sign
opposite Aquarius is Leo. This indicates that we must focus our efforts in the
pursuit of excellence, perfection and mutual respect. During the Age of
Aquarius, Man will really be the King of Creation, in the image of his Creator-
a Co-Creator!
We are
currently being influenced by the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. In
fact, we are progressively leaving the Age of Pisces and progressively entering
the Age of Aquarius. We are therefore in a position midway between these two
astrological ages.
The
greatest challenge we will have to face is of a moral order. Indeed, we are
leaving a period that lasted two thousand years, during which our spiritual
lives were dictated by religious authorities.
The
influence of religions will lose ground in favor of personal moral standards.
The problem is that we will need to make an effort to develop these new
standards, as we will be immersed in a technological world. It will not be easy
to build new moral standards, new moral codes; they will have to be personal
and adapted to the new circumstances of life.
Morally
speaking, we will develop moral standards whose foundations will be based, for
instance, on new agreements of Global Rights and Freedoms.
The
influence of the Age of Pisces invited us to show love, goodness, mercy,
compassion and generosity towards our fellow human beings – all with a
tremendous amount of sacrifice – sort of like carrying Jesus cross along life.
But the
influence of the Age of Aquarius invites us to show love for ourselves with altruism
for others, while favoring scientific and technological solutions. In reality,
we are invited to love and respect all living beings – not only human.
Uranus is
associated with the sign of Aquarius and is a symbol of sudden changes and progress.
By transiting
from the sacrificing love in the Age Pisces to the love oneself and others of
the Age of Aquarius – we will hopefully come to know real universal fraternity.
The Age of Aquarius invites us to elevate
our souls through love of our fellow man and to take the scientific and
technological means at hand to improve our comfort and well-being.
From an
astrological point of view, two values represented by two opposite signs (and
two planetary positions) are the focus of the Age of Aquarius: the Sun in Leo
and Uranus in Aquarius, and we are invited to see, touch and feel the differences:
1 - The Sun in Leo invites us to take care of
ourselves, love ourselves and fully develop all our talents.
2 - Uranus in Aquarius invites us to show
altruism and love others.
These two
values (self-love and love of others) are not incompatible. Not at All! Actually,
we are encouraged to enjoy a just part of the benefits and joys of life in tune
with ourselves and others. A fair balance is to be reached between one’s
aspirations and desires and needs as well as those of others. This should lead
us down the path to joy and happiness.
Our
technological boom was not because of our “superior” intelligence or inventiveness
- it was and is - all part of a careful universal plan to prepare us for this new
phase - this new cycle, this new era, this New Age of Aquarius. Of course the skeptical
will do everything to resist and persist as they do not like change, and they
may stay behind if they want, we still have freewill, but this shift in energy
will help the ones eager to evolve and ascend into this new age.
Although as
how everything is on a global level we can´t see this now – a major key trait
of this new age is “humanitarianism without prejudice or preference.” This
could represent the emergence of pro-active intergovernmental organizations and
unified global movements. I was astonished when I read this in one of the books
by Neale Donald Walsch –“Conversations with God”.
Indeed, it
would be the end of selfish desire and the beginning of the selfless free
expression of the soul of humanity. So much change…but for any change to occur there
must be an individual choice, then the collective.
This is a
time of the merging of the opposite energies - the masculine and the feminine.
Independently
of genre, we all have masculine and feminine energies – a lot of unbalanced ones
I may say, but now it´s time to harmonize and balance them, as these two divine
energies within each one of us, will once again work together with God, The
Divine, The Source, The Creator, The Universe.
I used to
ask: How can I help, I´m only one?!...
The answer
to my question came through when I started to do energy work, it´s over 3 years
now. I was told that through my work I
could help an unaccountable amount of living beings across all continents,
including Gaia, Mother Earth. I soon realized that through the synergistic
efforts of the individual - the collective consciousness can be modulated,
transmuted and changed. I felt humble and honored when I was asked to help
channel energy with a collective group of Angels last year to North America. It
was an experience I will never forget and will forever be grateful for.
You may help to raise the vibration of our Planet as well; if you just take a few minutes of your day to meditate and place an intention/prayer for it. The Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius is an ongoing process and if each one of us helps, the shift will for sure be a smoother ride.
Much Love
and Light!
