Age of Aquarius... continued.

At long last...

I really struggled with what I was going to write about on this topic.

I was actually planning on boring you with the physics behind it all - precession of the equinoxes, etc. Thank God I gave this a lot of thought.

First of all, I feel it's necessary to discuss the astrological Age that precedes Aquarius. Pisces.

The Age of Pisces is believed to span the years 1 A.D. - 2000 A.D. If you read the literature, these years are very much an approximation (The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need).

As you all probably know, Pisces symbol is the two fishes. The ruling planet of Pisces is Jupiter.

Jupiter is the plant of expansion, growth and long voyages (particularly spiritual and intellectual in nature). At its best, Jupiter is the planet of generosity and luck, at its worst it is greedy.

The co-ruler of Pisces is Neptune. I believe Neptune has less influence on this Age - it is a planet of transformation, intuition, greed and fraud.

Pisces is a mutable sign meaning that it is unstable; Pisceans in general, however, are also quick to adapt to their environment. Pisces is also a water sign. Individuals under water signs are sensitive and emotional (hello, I'm a Scorpio!). Pisces, in particular, s a sign of religious and mystical spirituality.

Pisceans can be imaginative, perceptive, manipulative and are successful on the stage (politically and religiously). Piscean stories encompass the theme that appearances can be deceptive.

To me, it is no coincidence that the Age of Pisces is/was the Age of Christianity as we know it. Jesus, after all, was a fisher of men.

Think about that and I'll get back to you about this Aquarius stuff...

Keep dreaming,
