Precession And The Age Of Aquarius

We measure a day by the rising and setting of the sun. When the sun rises again, we recognize that a new day has begun.

We measure a month by the phases of the moon.

We measure a year by the solstices and equinoxes which occur approximately every 90 days.

We measure a sidereal year by calculating the amount of time it takes for a particular star to appear in the same position over time. Imagine standing on your front porch one night and marking the position of a star. The amount of time that it takes for that star to return to that same position is called a sidereal year. These periods span large amounts of time, typically many thousands of years.

The Great Year

Now imagine standing on your front porch on the morning of the spring equinox (March 21 or so). You will see the sun rise at a particular location. If you stood on your porch at the next spring equinox, you would see the sun rising slightly to the left of where it rose the year before. This motion is called precession, because the position of the sun precedes where it was located the year before. This motion is caused by a peculiar tilt, or nutation, in the rotation of the earth that causes the earth's axis to change its inclination over time. The motion has been likened to what happens to a child's toy spinning-top. When the top begins to wind down, it starts to wobble in a certain fashion. That is a crude, but effective example of what nutation is.

At dawn, the sun rises in a particular zodiacal constellation. There are 12 zodiacal constellations, each takes up 30 degrees of space, as perceived from the earth. 30 x 12 = 360 degrees, a full circle. Scientists and astronomers will argue this, but they are tied to a certain dogmatism by virtue of their earthly educations and indoctrination. Most are atheists and the vast majority have no clue of how this nature-order truly works.

Viewed from the earth, it takes the sun 72 years to appear to move through 1 degree of space, 2,160 years to move through an entire 30 degrees of a single zodiacal sign and 25,920 years to complete a circuit through all twelve signs of the zodiac. This called a Great Year, or Platonic Year.

The Aquarian Age

The 2,160 years that it takes for the sun to transit a zodiacal sign is commonly referred to as an Age. The last three zodiacal ages have been Pisces, Aries and Taurus, in that order (which is the reverse order of those signs. Remember, precession is a backwards movement through the zodiac). The Piscean Age commenced around the time of the Christ, over 2,000 years ago. Hence the frequent references to fish in the New Testament. Prior to the Age of Pisces were the Ages of Aries and Taurus. Again, in the Old Testament, there are countless mentions of rams and lambs (Aries), calves and bulls (Taurus). We are now moving into the Age of Aquarius, the symbol of which is a man pouring out a pitcher of water. In the New Testament, we find reference to this Age in the use of terms like "fishers of men" and "the Son of Man". So, we can see that these zodiacal ages were known to exist by the ancients and were used, among other things, to reference different time periods in ancient literature.

By the way, did you know that the diameter of the moon is 2,160 nautical miles while the circumference of the earth is 21,600 nautical miles? Or that 2,160 is the total number of corner-angle degrees on the surface of a cube? The number 2,160 is a fairly significant gematrian number. 2,160 as well as 25,920 both add up to nine. "9" is the number of completion, as there are no other digits that follow it.

Anyway, i digress. The point of this blog post is this. If we follow the chronology of the ancients, we are 2,160 years removed from the start of the Age of Pisces. Many systems indicate that the Age of Aquarius is slated to begin in 2012. Again, astronomists and scientists will pull out all of their "facts" and gleefully set themselves to the task of de-bunking what has just been written. Again, man's vaunted scientific knowledge is flawed, erroneous and sometimes, flat-out untruthful. Man's current knowldge is mostly based on the crystallized, flawed observations made by ego-driven humans spanning a period of only a few hundred years.

Some say that the Age of Aquarius began in 1950. Others maintain that because the sun will not rise in Aquarius until several hundred years from now (approximately 700 years, to be exact) that we have not entered the Age of Aquarius yet. If this is true, then i submit the following: when does spring begin? Do the trees begin budding all at once on the vernal equinox, like magic? Or haven't you ever noticed that trees and shrubs will begin budding weeks before the official first day of spring? How about autumn? Do trees immediately go gold on September 21st? Or have we not noticed that leaves begin falling from trees around mid-August? The point being made is this: the exact start time of the Age is not what's critical here (except to scientists and astronomers who always require "proof" of a thing before they can support it). When something is just below the horizon, as the dawn of a New Age, we on earth will feel its effects long before it manifests itself in full glory.

According to the chronology of the ancients, including the compilers of the Mayan calendar, The Great Year of 25,920 years will reach a new starting-point on December 21, 2012. On that morning, the Sun will rise in the constellation of Ophiucus, the so-called, "newly found" 13th sign of the zodiac, situated between Saggitarius and Scorpio. The symbol of Ophiucus (which once went by the ancient name Serpentarius) is that of a man wrestling with a serpent. Earth, Sun, Ophiucus and the Galactic Center will be in syzygy (celestial alignment). Powerful energies will be transmitted from whatever is housed in the center of our galaxy, focused through Ophiucus, then through the Sun and on towards the earth. Will anything be felt or experienced by humanity? We will not know until the time comes.

However, it would probably be wise to have one's light-vesture in good order by that time. Fore-warned is fore-armed, you know.

"And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in." Luke 22:10
