We have just left the Age of Pisces and are entering the Age of Aquarius. There’s some debate about when the Age of Aquarius actually begins, but considering the chaos of change we experienced in 2020, many astrologers believe we shifted into Aquarius at the beginning of 2021.
An astrological age usually lasts approximately 2,150 years. It changes when the Earth’s rotation moves into a new zodiac sign around the spring equinox.
Khalsa predicts that we will move away from the vertical hierarchies of power and form into an open network as a society. We will begin to accept ourselves as whole people, without the need to believe in something outside of ourselves.
In 2020, many structures of belief were dismantled. It was a year that caused many of us to question our values, our politics, and our way of life. This is a strong indicator that we were moving away from the Pisces influence and towards Aquarius.
In society, activated Aquarius energy encourages innovation in technology, but also compels us to consider issues of social injustice and our collective experiences.
We all have Aquarius in our charts, so it influences us all in some way. The impact it has on our lives depends on its placement on our natal astrology chart. We each have our personal astrological blueprint, but we also have a collective one. This is where the Age of Aquarius comes in.
As with all star signs, Aquarius also has a shadow side. It can also be aloof, restless, and impulsive. While Aquarians are great at starting things and coming up with new ideas, they’re not always great at finishing them.
The word Aquarius comes from the Latin word for "water carrier" or "water pourer." The symbol represents water, but looks like an energy jolt. Aquarius connects us to originality, eccentricity, freedom, self-expression, and innovation. It orients us towards the future and new possibilities.
To understand what the Age of Aquarius holds, it’s important to understand the roots and energy of this Sun sign.
Astrologer Colin Bedell believes these periods should have an interesting impact on the communication in our lives. We may find opportunities to learn and understand each other better, particularly when it comes to voicing our emotions with loved ones. We may develop more insight about our experiences.
While we’re experiencing many benefits from the technology available to us, such as the open sharing of information and connection with people around the world, it also has its downsides.
We’re all aware of the worldwide economic downturn that has been ongoing since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s still unclear how long this will last, and what the long-term impact will be. Key dates to look out for this year are June 14 and December 24. Try to guard your assets this year, and particularly around those dates.
The upside to this period of economic disruption is that it leads to an era of rebuilding and restructuring, as we saw after the Great Depression. It’s a sign of change and future prosperity.
Even through the pain and suffering of 2020, we already began the process of breaking down the old and rebuilding the new. There is great potential for healing in 2021, but it's only the beginning of an age that will be defined by community and progress.
