"This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius" - Some Cool Insights Into What This Means
It's great to be reading this while sitting on a settee in Glastonbury. The Age of Aquarius has certainly been pre-empted by this town!
I love what you've written here and I can also add some cultural history. The astrological ages are linked to whatever zodical sign is rising during the vernal equinox. This is a slow process, taking thousands of years to switch to the next one.
It's been an important celestial marker for human beings over the millennia. For example, when it was the Age of Taurus, we saw bulls turning up in Egyptian architecture; the legend of the Minotaur gained popularity; and the God Mithras became important to the Persians (spreading later throughout the Roman Empire). When it was the Age of Leo, then we get lions turning up in great monuments like, for example, the sphinx.
We've been in the Age of Pisces for a while and what is the great symbol of one of the prominent religions? The fish of Christianity. These things are not coincidental. It's the great spiritual leaders harking to the celestial pointers. If you can 'own' what is rising on the vernal equinox, then you 'own' the spirituality of that age.
