Co-Produced hootenanys at Folksay in the fifties. Acts
like HAIR were debuting their stuff as it was being written some even living
there. We were dubbed the Aquarian conspiracy for introducing the 25,920 year
calendar depicting the procession of equinoxes. The age of Aquarius is an
astronomical event not astrology. This is the introduction of the 26,000
year calender that has 2,000 year months.
We began working on an energy policy fifty years ago
with the realization goal being the dawning of the Age of Aquarius in other
words let the sun shine in by song, MEME triggering a di-milennia solar budget
reality.
Using the knowledge accumulated of the last 26,000
years we can make a new year-precession better.
The date
December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an
extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point
of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of
the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an
event that has been coming to resonance very slowly over thousands and
thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT.

Has the Age of Aquarius Arrived?
Precession of the
Equinoxes
by Naomi Bennett
Until recently, the Greek
Hipparchus, was given the credit for discovering the procession of the
equinoxes. This 25,920 cycle is the foundation for the Age of Pisces ( month ending 2012)
which by modern measurement puts each age as 2,160 years long. The procession
causes the fixed stars to rise and set against the earth’s solar years so that
at the first day of spring, which is the spring equinox, the constellation of
Aries no longer rises but the constellation of Pisces does now. In contrast,
the Egyptians started their year at the summer solstice when the constellation
Orion rose with the sun to mark the beginning of the flooding of the Nile.
With more insightful study
of ancient myths and Egyptian temples, texts and myths, it now appears that the
Egyptians priests knew and measured the procession back to the old kingdom and
there are hints that this knowledge went back to the Age of Gemini which ended
somewhere near 6,140 BC.
In 1895, John Lockyer, the
British Astronomer Royal, wrote The Dawn of Astronomy where he visited
and measured most of the Egyptian temples to prove their alignment to fixed
stars and their realignment every 400 years to compensate for the precession.
He was highly disregarded in his time but recognized for his original thinking
in the 70’s.
Schwaller de Lubicz showed
that the Zodiac of Dendera in the Temple of Hathor (around 100 BC) was actually
a time clock measurement that marked the procession of the equinoxes from the
Age of Pisces back to the Age of Taurus which started in 4380 BC by his
calculations. Schwaller estimated the Age of Pisces to begin near 60 BC and the
Age of Aquarius to begin at 2100 AD.
Dr. Giorgio de Santillana,
historian and author of Hamlet’s Mill, traced all the ancient myths and
legends around the world to show they had a foundation in the description of
the procession. Jane B. Sellers then extended Santillana’s concept in The
Death of the Gods in Ancient Egypt by analyzing Egyptian myth to show the
consistent reference to the procession of the stars in their religious beliefs
in the Osiris- Horus myths. These myths were the center of their theology, they
empowered the pharaohs, and determined their death beliefs and practices.
The Orion Mystery by Robert Bauval (an engineer) and Adrian Gilbert use the
procession of the equinoxes to add proof that the Great Pyramid and the King’s
Chamber were used to send the dead Pharaoh’s spirit to the Orion constellation.
By use of modern astronomy software they calculate the Age of Aquarius to begin
approximately 2,070 AD when a half precession cycle of 12,920 shows the Orion
constellation at it’s highest declination of -1 degree 50 seconds and it’s
maximum altitude at the Meridian at 58 degrees 11 seconds. It’s opposite point
at 10,300 BC would have been the beginning of the Age of Leo when Zeta Orionis
would have a lowest declination of -48 degrees 53 seconds and an altitude at
the meridian of 11 degrees 8 seconds. (Footnote 1)
This last calculation
hints that the Egyptians might have considered that the concept of Great Return
could begin at the Age of Leo when the stars in Orion are at its lowest
declination. Jane Sellers stated that "I am convinced that for ancient
man, the numbers 72...2160, 25,920 all signified the concept of the Eternal Return."
Footnote 2. It takes 72 years for the precession to move 1 degree, 2,160 years
for one Age, and 25,920 for the entire cycle to repeat.
Robert Hand in the essay, The
Age and Constellation of Pisces, uses the date of 221 AD as the date when
the topical and sidereal zodiacs where in alignment which was deduced by Fagan
and Bradley. From this point he calculates the first star in Pisces to cross
the vernal point at 111 BC, which would place the Age of Aquarius to begin near
2,060 AD. Footnote 3.
So, from three very
different calculations, we have the Age of Aquarius beginning from 2,060 to
2,100 AD.
Yet, why do I sense that
we have already entered the Age of Aquarius? Since the invention of mass
production, global use of electricity, the car, phone, television, NASA,
invention of technology to shrink the globe with computers, and satellite
transmission of voice and data like the Internet. These are all related to
Aquarius. Since the advent of psychology with Freud, Jung and Adler, the Church
as been displaced as a prime spiritual force for many. This century brought the
decline of Church power over most governments. They can only advise and
recommend now. This is a decline in the force of Pisces and the Great
Religions. Since we are within 1 degree of a new age, are we sliding into the
change gradually over a century or two? Is the presence of Uranus and soon
Neptune in 1998 into Aquarius a preview to the future or a reaching out to pull
the Age more into Now?
These questions are not
answerable by absolute fact but by observation. So far, Aquarius hasn’t been
the sign of brotherly love but of individual rebels with extreme ideas like the
Oklahoma City bombing the first month that Uranus entered Aquarius, the
militia, the Unabomber and Rabin’s assassin. Since January of this year, major
scientific discoveries have been made. The Universe has quadrupled in size,
Jupiter’s atmosphere was too cool, the oldest stars are 6 billions years too
old by current theory. Scientific sacred cows are falling and should continue
for the next 7 years.
Kepler believed that the great conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn in the sign of Pisces truly noted the full beginning of the Age. But that was before the discovery of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. What are our modern measurements now? Could Uranus and Neptune be adequate significators? Uranus will reenter Aquarius in 2080 just in time for the New Age. Aquarius’s ruler will be in its own sign at entry. Personally, I like this idea best.
