Dawning of the Age of Aquarius

This is the dawning of Age of Aquarius.

Really.

Just like the song says.

Here, now, Saturday, Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, 2009.

This is the day “when the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars.” When “peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars.”

It’s about time. What with economic collapse, climate change and rampant terrorism, we could use some good news.

But what does it mean, and is it really here?

To James Rado and Gerome Ragni, it meant “no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions.” At least that’s what their lyrics for song “Aquarius” in the musical “Hair” say.

Aquarius is oriented strongly toward groups, says San Antonio astrologer Lance Rodriguez. “It’s a sign of the community, civic activism, anything dealing with society,” he says. “A catchall phrase would be ‘group consciousness.’”

The sign also rules technology and inventiveness, and its energy is very intellectual, he says, so being in the Aquarian age taps into that.
