The ASTROLOGICAL "AGES" are "just" a set of
mathematical calculations based on the celestial event called the Precession of the
Equinoxes. Ancient Astrologers diligently and constantly observed the heavens night and
day, they were Astronomers too. Those Astrologer sky-watchers of long ago found another
very curious celestial mystery. They discovered that the STAR, the one we now call the
"North Star" constantly changed over Time. A very long period of Time, about
26,000 years. Ancient ASTROLOGERS also believed that period was a cyclical one. Meaning
that approximately every 26,000 years the same star repeated as the North Star.
What makes the North Star change location? Most important to this
equation is the fact that EARTH is tilted on it's axis. The tilt is approximately 23
degrees. As EARTH spins on it's axis, our north pole circumscribes a great circle against
the fixed Stars because EARTH wobbles very slightly. This motion is similar to what a
spinning "top" does as it twirls. It wobbles. Remember when you were young and
played with a "top". Once you got it spinning, the "top" would wander
all over the place until it slowed down and fell over. The more a "top" slows
down the more it wobbles on it's axis.
An important variable used in this demonstration is that planet
EARTH is round and can not really be compared to a "top" which is conical in
shape. "Tops" are designed to spin on their narrow point not an axis. The EARTH
is also slowing down in it's spinning motion but not as rapidly as a "top" does.
Of course planet EARTH is just a little bit bigger than a "TOP".
How did ancient civilizations find this
information? To discover such a phenomenon, for many thousands of years ancient
ASTROLOGERS have constantly studied the heavens.
Imagine, It's 5,000 years ago, you are 12 years old and your
father, the Tribe's Medicine Man-Astrologer, is about to show you what he does almost
every night, all night. Record star movements and analyze them.
Proving the "AGES" was difficult but necessary. Any
information about the future was extremely valuable. Life was very much more basic
survival and a struggle back then. Lest we forget; Electricity and PC's are NEW
inventions.
Astrologers assembled that proof of the "AGES" through
pain staking observation and record keeping. That's why the written or oral historian was
so important in the TRIBE or Establishment. The Astrologers-heaven's observers-spiritual
leaders, kept the records and handed them down or verbally relayed them down to the next
generation. Why would ancients use the "AGES", if it didn't work? Why are we
discussing the "AGES" in the first place if there isn't some valid basis to the
very idea of the existence of the AGES of ASTROLOGY?
The "AGES" move clockwise through the ZODIAC. Most of
the other phenomenon in ASTROLOGY move counter-clockwise. Interesting? Each "ZODIAC
AGE" is a period of approximately 2200 years [26,000 years divided by 12]. During an
"AGE" the psychological doctrine of a single ASTROLOGY Sign pervades all society
on a deeply unconscious level. Like greatly influences everything and everybody!
Because the "ASTROLOGICAL AGES" also go through
retrograde motion there is a long transition period from one "AGE" to the next.
Transition's must last about 250 +/- years.
The transition into the AGE of AQUARIUS is why many Christian
prophet's have predicted that this millennium will be the "end of the World".
Not ours, theirs. The year 2000 is also very close the official END of the Age of Pisces,
their AGE, the Christians have been saying so for 2000 years, that why they are making
their BIG push to control the United States by decreeing and mandating morality. But! They
say they are going to disappear. Let's hope all their hypocrisy will disappear too.
Our civilization is getting very close to that 250 +/- year
"frame of reference" of an "AGE'S" retrograde and transition period.
AND, With Uranus [84 year orbital period] already in AQUARIUS and Neptune [164.8 year
orbital period] going into AQUARIUS in about 7 months, January 29, 1998 on a day when the
SUN is already into AQUARIUS, the AGE OF AQUARIUS will NO DOUBT fully dawn. Hopefully,
Nostredamus, the Christian mystic, was wrong about some idiot starting a Nuclear War and
ending the world.
Realistically the beginning of the beginning of the AGE of
AQUARIUS must be dated from the start of the Industrial Revolution some 250 years ago. The
AGE of AQUARIUS is probably characterized best by the statement;
The Whole is greater than the Sum of
it's Parts.
The AGE of AQUARIUS is constructed from and on the ideas of mass
production and mass communication. AQUARIUS means new ideas which also means change.
Ancient ASTROLOGERS predicted civilization would go into a long
term decline when the AGE of PISCES came to pass upon Earth. How did they know that?
Because it happened before? That's why those wise ancient ASTROLOGERS secretly hid as much
of the really important information as possible from the near future. They were right,
society declined. Rome sacked and burned the Ancient Egyptian Library in Alexandria
destroying almost all of that civilization's historical information.
Ancient ASTROLOGERS also put the most of the valuable information
in the fables of the Christian religious text in hopes it would survive the coming, long
term decline. How many times is the number 12 is mentioned in the BIBLE? It is no
coincidence that the Bible is riddled with the number 12.
