The New Age

  

 

Definition: [Astrological Ages] An age that is new... :) Seriously it's worth mentioning here because whilst there is a clear definition of an Astrological Age, [bequeathed to us by Carl Gustav Jung] there are a vast number of other New Ages of one sort or another being promoted, quite a few, it has to be said, disappearing off into the Twilight Zone, a long, long way from astrology of the heavens.

The New New Ages: Given below are some New Ages. All of the reasons shown below for the beginning of a New Age can be found on the web. I promise I have not invented any. The most popular date is 2000 AD, though heaven only knows why our views of the heavens should come into a new configuration based on exactly 2000 years since the incorrect date for Christ's birth. [Modern scholars put Christ's birth several years before 1 AD.] However, now that 2000 AD has passed and, unfortunately, the world seems its old self, 2012 AD is becoming popular.

Sadly, the next Astrological Age, the Age of Aquarius doesn't begin until approximately 2600 AD. I am sure many of us wish that it wasn't so long to wait, but the constellations are where are they are no matter what we might wish.
