“When the moon is in the Seventh House

And Jupiter aligns with Mars

Then peace will guide the planets

And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius” – 5th Dimension, 1969

As the Age of Pisces emerged, humanity came to the understanding that the ego development (from the Age of Aries) was not enough; and that the ego must be channeled through something greater.

The Age of Pisces introduced the concepts of surrender, compassion, kindness, charity, empathy, and sacrifice.

The warrior-hero ideal of the Aries age evolved into the transcendent ideal of the saint. The Age of Pisces has been the age of great world religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

As with any astrological age, the animal symbolism is strikingly literal. The symbol of Christians is the fish. Jesus’ disciples were fishermen.

At the heart of Jesus’ (and other religious leaders) teachings, was the idea that we should love each other because we are all ‘one’, and because to hate someone, meant to hate oneself.

Jesus initiated the age of Pisces with his sacrifice; it was through sacrifice that our “sins” were washed away. Pisces indeed is connected to the symbols of “sins” or “karmic baggage”, but also, with the opportunity to be released and redeemed from these through sacrifice and surrender.

The symbol of “Pisces” is two fish that swim in different directions, yet they are tied together by an umbilical cord. This image is a symbol for the “ego” and the “soul” that have different agendas, yet are part of the same ‘whole’.

The higher purpose of the Age of Pisces is understanding that separation is just an illusion and that we can become ‘whole again’ when we reconcile the Ego and the Soul, or the YIN and YANG parts of our psyche.

This process of reconciliation is not easy, but it’s only when we find our inner unity, that we will be able to step into the Age of Aquarius with awareness.

As long as the ego is separate from the soul, we won’t have freedom and progress (Aquarius’ higher manifestation), but instead will have division and will continue to attempt to use machines (weapons, robots, or the internet) to justify one side of the story – either “the ego” or “the soul”.

As we are shifting from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, we will learn that each individual is important – not as an amorphous mass easy to maneuver (Age of Pisces).

Every single one of us is born for a reason, and we all can bring our own contribution to the development of society. Every single one of us can make the world a better place.

Aquarius is the opposite sign from Leo. Leo is what makes us unique. Leo is the creator, the leader. Aquarius takes Leo’s unique qualities to the “next level” putting them into a higher context.

The next “Age of Aquarius” moment is December 21st, 2020, when Jupiter and Saturn meet for the first time in millennials, at 0° Aquarius.

What are the chances to have the 2 slowest moving visible planets of our solar system meeting exactly in the 1st degree of Aquarius?

The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21st, 2020 may well be that final ‘cosmic push’ that will mark the official beginning of the Age of Aquarius.

Change is around the corner and will come sooner than we expect. Humanity’s next chapter is currently being written, right in front of our eyes.

In the natal chart, planets or points at 0° of a sign take a stance that either indulges in or embraces the very pure, undiluted nature of the sign. There’s a fresh, unstudied quality to a planet at this degree. Some of the most familiar, prima facie traits linked to that sign will be obvious in the person’s nature, but the sign’s true essence and the challenges the planet must face and embrace on its journey are just being discovered and are yet to be mastered. Simply put, there’s a new language to learn and much work to be done. Embarking on this voyage, the planet at 0° appears highly eager to encounter that which it will become.
