This is known as the “Precession of the Equinoxes”. Although it is called the “First point of Aries” it is currently in the western end of the constellation of Pisces. Astrologers refer to the period of time in which the “Spring Point” remains in a given constellation (which is at least several thousand years) as the “Age of …”, and engage in a lot of speculation as to what we can expect in the different ages. In terms of pure Astronomy, the Age of Aquarius will begin (and that of the present, Pisces, end) in around 800 years time. However some bright spark realised that by taking a more astrological viewpoint, the Age of Aquarius could actually be beginning about now. This has given rise to the concept of the New Age.”—Glossary of Commonly Used Terms in the Western Mystery Tradition Search Age of Aquarius See also Astrological Age New Age References The New Aeon: A Consideration of the Astrological Symbolism and The New Aeon: A Consideration of the Astrological Symbolism External references https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age Do you want to help build the Hermeneuticon wiki?
