The astrological alignment that supposedly marks the beginning of the Age of Aquarius occurred today, at 7:35 AM Greenwich Median Time, for 18 minutes:
From the song Aquarius:
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
At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies of Aquarius in the twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars are aligned with the higher purpose of the North Node (Caput Draconis). The presence of Chiron the wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire alignment.
Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in Capricorn, allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the Shift throughout our global structures and institutions.
The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real -ationships.
Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity.
And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.
So now, since it's officially the Age of Aquarius, here's a little trip down memory lane (courtesy of the lovely musical Sweet Charity) for all those aging Boomers and Hipsters. For those Gen Xers, let's remind you of what you're fighting against. For all those Millennials, lets look at the source of all those lovely morals and values our Boomer parents gave us. Lovely isn't it? Not really that hard to believe that a good number of my professors from college and a few old family friends of my parents (who in comparison were "squares") were like this:
