I have a vaige idea of the astrological 2000 years between 0 - 2000. The age of Aries I believe.
Now we have left that and have started the age of Aqaurius, is this right? I am just intrested to find out as much as I can onn the subject, it seems fairly intresting, but The Davinci Code didn't go into it much.

Cheers

That was a good song...

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius...

Just about all I know about it is that it's featured in some Ford adverts on TV at the moment, with a blonde girl who's quite fit. But, I thought the Age of Aquarius was 60s-70s - or at least taken to be by some hippies. So I don't know.

I think I heard of an anime series called The Age of Aquarius or something.

I think the previous age was of pisces, but im not sure.

I'm not sure how much stock I put in all this, but the "Age of Aquarius" is supposedly going to be a good thing... The age of Aries was the one before Jesus. We have been in the age of Pisces since.

I reckon that the hippies read into it too much, and realised that if it were true all will love etc. And since the 60s were towards the end of a 2000 yr era, then i guess its fine to say its the dawning.

Thats why I want to find out more, to find out what these hippies "uncovered"

They knew that it hadn't started yet, but they were getting a psyched; convincing themselves that they could feel the influence of the coming age.

Ah that makes sense. (And, hilariously, I assume you're referring to the 60s, and not the Ford advert.)

Age of Innovations
Information about the influence of Aquarius comes to us through a study of astrology. Aquarius has an intellectual influence which is original, inventive, mystic, scientific, altruistic, and religious.
[...]
The Aquarian Age will see the blending of religion and science to such a degree that a religious science and a scientific religion will be formed--each respecting and learning from the findings of the other--which will promote health, happiness, and enjoyment of life.
Universal Brotherhood
The Aquarian Age will bring with it an era of universal brotherhood, in preparation for which we see the barriers of race prejudice being broken all around us. To be sure, this is presently being accomplished under conditions of bloodshed and revolt. We can be certain, however, that although the sword, which had its reign during the Piscean Age, still is powerful, SCIENCE and ALTRUISM will rule during the Aquarian Age.

Oh absolutely: the whole counterculture drenched itself in spiritual references, and especially ones with links to the Far East. Interest in European mysticism was revived too, though: apparently every 60s hippy just had to have a Tarot pack.

One of my 'friends' is a Satanist... and she said that the age of aquarius was to start in the next 100-150 years and Satan was supposed to gain power... then again I'm pretty sure she's mentally retarded...like everyone else here... >.>

Actually, we are in the Age of Pisces, until about 2600 A.D.

Interestingly enough, the Age of Aries was just beginning when astrology was reformulated by the Greeks into its present form, which is why we use 0° Aries as the Ascendent in the Tropical Zodiac.
