The age of Aquarius

---

People often ask about the age of Aquarius and there are many misconceptions about it. First of all, Aquarius is connected with Saturn and this particular age is not a hippy utopia but an age of iron with hardships and endings.

As humans have rejected natural law, this age is dominated by government and external laws and restrictions upon individual freedoms. This age is when the wheat is separated from the chaff.

The age of Aquarius is not determined by a date plucked out of the air or speculating on changes within society. Like everything in astrology the answer is in the observation of the actual sky and the positions of the stars.

The astrological age is determined by the stars that rise before the sun at dawn while the sun is still below the horizon on the spring equinox. The astrological ages are not equal in length.

5000 BCE - The age of Taurus - The stars of Taurus are visible on the horizon for about 2500 years.

2000 BCE - The Age of Aries - The stars of Aries are visible on the horizon for about 2000 years.

1 CE - The age of Pisces - The stars of Pisces are visible on the horizon for about 1500 years.
