Age of Aquarius 

You've all probably heard the song, Age of Aquarius, the one about the time
when Jupiter aligns with Mars. Well, there's really more to it than that, as
Jupiter and Mars align relatively often. What's really remarkable about this
epoch is the powerful change that will sweep through our world, the shift in
mood, action and intention that is already palpable. The estimated start
date is thought to be sometime around the millennium, but, though its exact
start date is contested among astrologers, astronomers, theologians and
others, the effects of the Age of Aquarius have already been felt. 

To understand the nature of an age's influence, it's helpful to think about
someone with that particular Sun Sign -- in the case of the last age, Pisces
<http://www.astrology.com/sun_pisces.html>  (the Ages move backward through
the Zodiac) -- and which of their qualities most stand out to you. Over the
last 2000 years or so, we searched for meaning in the skies and in our
hearts and, like those with Sun in Pisces, our innocence was sometimes
exploited but our hearts were also often filled with Piscean hope and trust
that things would get better. Naïve, spiritually-seeking, the Piscean Age
was about hope, faith and fear, and humanity was preoccupied with feeling
cowed by a force larger than ourselves. The Piscean Age focused much energy
and concern on the unknown, on the mysteries of faith and the fear of not
knowing. 


The key phrase for Aquarius <http://www.astrology.com/sun_aquarius.html>  is
"I Know," but that knowledge is not a righteous, superior or exclusionary
knowledge. It's a sort of wisdom that draws people together, for Aquarians
are, above all else, social animals. They crave interaction with large
groups of people, thriving in humanitarian and social causes and in any
situation where collective thought, innovation and cooperation are required.
They tend to be eccentric and disdainful of tradition and -- while they love
magic and believe in the esoteric arts -- prefer to discover knowledge
through scientific experimentation and exploration. 


Technology is like a hobby for the Water Bearer. Aquarians stockpile all the
new gadgets on the market and are at ease in front of a computer or
connected to a cell phone. Sure, they're trendy -- they need to be at the
forefront, in the midst of the social action, up on the hottest fads -- but
they also truly love other people and believe strongly in the independent
spirit. 


Sociable, open-minded, innovative, eschewing of tradition, scientific and
technologically driven. If we extract these qualities from the individual
and apply them to the world, we can see what the Aquarian Age is all about.
We will loosen the ties of tradition and forge ahead in a cooperative effort
to improve human relations and also the relations between ourselves and our
world. We will be respectful yet also playfully, intelligently rebellious.
We will admire and encourage individuality and embrace differences rather
than fear them. 


There's no way to know where the Age of Aquarius will lead us all. Who knows
what the world will be like in the year 4000? As science proves that we are
all one race -- that no matter our color or origin, we are all essentially
the same beneath our skin -- we will also grow, change and learn to adapt to
one another's cultural and individual differences. We have an opportunity to
apply the most positive qualities of Aquarius -- intellectual openness,
humanitarianism and compassion for the environment -- to making our world a
more considerate, benevolent and accepting place.
