The Ugly Side of the Age of Aquarius

Help Support Astrologers' Community:

What are the new religions for the Age of Aquarius? Every Age came up with widespread, highly influential religions. All of the influential religions of our Time are rooted in distant Past.
Materialism.
Transhumanism.
Transgenderism.

Modern astrology views Aquarius quite differently than astrology of old.
Aquarius, as seen 2000 years ago, Valens:

Aquarius is a celestial sign which is masculine, solid, anthropomorphic, somewhat damp, single. It is mute, quite cold, free, upward trending, feminizing, unchanging, base, with few offspring, the cause of troubles arising from athletic training, carrying burdens, or work in hard materials, an artisan, public. Men born under this sign are malicious, haters of their own families, incorrigible, self-willed, deceitful, tricky, concealing everything, misanthropic, godless, accusers, betrayers of reputation and the truth, envious, petty, occasionally generous (because of <this sign's> flow of water), uncontrollable.

I like this description. I know a woman that fits the “men” description well.
 
Of these three signs, which would manifest the most Materialistic Age?--

a) Pisces

b) Aquarius

c) Capricorn
Define "materialistic".

If materialistic means striving for possessions and comforts of life all ages are equally guilty (think all of those looting and pillaging, theft, plunder etc.).

I would argue that believing in some afterlife is equally materialistic as considering this earthly life as the only reality. Essentially, people believe in 3D afterlife world where everything will be essentially the same as here, only somehow better, but it's still "material" life with a "body inside some world/universe/dimension". Countless traditions have these beliefs.

How will the end of the Kali Yuga affect Materialism?

Well, there are two Yuga cycle interpretations.

The modern one was proposed by Yukteswar, I think. He tied Yuga cycle to precession and the Great Year. According to Yukteswar we've already left Kali Yuga and we are now in Dvapara Yuga. In his model there is both descending and ascending period.

Then there's original Yuga cycle. In this one we are 5000 years into Kali Yuga which is to last 432,000 years in total. So, 427,000 more years of Kali Yuga to come. In the original cycle Yugas are only descending from Satya to Kali and after Kali it goes to Satya (age of truth) again. At the end of Kali Yuga avatar Kalki is supposed to appear. Kalki is often depicted as a warrior who will defeat forces of evil in a war.
 
The "ugly side" of this transition into the Aquarian Age, sidereal and tropical, is the backlash against the paradigm-shifts. It shouldn't be misconstrued as what the Age will be like once it takes full effect.

I would argue, so far the only paradigm shift in action is the globalist one. That is, the shift towards globalization and centralization of power, transhumanism, destruction of family unit which has been the foundation of human society for aeons, extermination of "useless eaters" which is in progress. Minor agendas, like transgenderism, only serve the purpose of "preparing" humanity for transhumanism.

The backlash against this is by anti-globalist people (and countries - BRICS) who are trying to preserve traditional way of life.

So, I would say, we are witnessing the negative paradigm shift and positive backlash. So far, no positive paradigm shift. "Forces of good" are the ones who are trying to preserve the old.

If we are to judge Aquarian Age by this globalist paradigm shift, if globalists are successful, the fully fledged Age of Aquarius will be dystopian one, something along the lines of Borg from Star Trek.
 
All,

The rest of this discussion has taken a non-astrological turn. While a few of the posts after this point talked about astrology, most did not. For that reason, I split those posts off and moved them to Spiritual Realm.


That part is now the "hardly strictly astrology" version of this discussion. Please go there if you want to discuss the dark side of the Age of Aquarius without necessarily sticking to astrology. In this thread, please keep it astrological, since we're in the astrology section.

Everything in its place,
Osamenor
 
Why should the true nature of these Aquarian Age(s) necessarily become fully obvious before the Age(s) really start, according to the astronomy? The Age ruler :uranus: has become known for SURPRISES.

That would be assuming that ages have "hard barrier" that prevents their supposed influence before the full blown start of an age.

I believe you said it yourself, the preliminary influence of the Age of Aquarius will be felt as early as 2050s.

However, my concern is that humanity won't make it to 2050s without full scale nuclear war, irreversible DNA damage (transhumanism) or massive depopulation - or, most likely, all 3 at the same time.
 
Not out of the question for the culmination of Saturn's long Age - rulership! 2149 is when the tropical Aquarian Age will begin to make a real difference in our shared Reality under Uranian Age - rulership.

But the preliminary influence just may be enough to prevent complete disaster.
