Hello am confused is the age of Aquarius also at the same time age of Saturn ?
The Age of Aquarius is ruled by the chief malefic planet Saturn. Saturn is always bad in traditional astrology. In New Age Astrology Saturn is often said to be good and Jupiter to be bad, but that is not how astrologers originally looked at it.
The Age of Aquarius is also considered to be the electrical age so we are well into it. It is not something coming in the far future. Most of the evils of the Age so far have been man made. The twentieth century had wars that may have killed more people than all previous wars. There were also deliberate programs to exterminate entire groups of people. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists were good at this.
Civilization and Humanity itself could be swept away by a cataclysm and extinction level event. The scientific paradigm was once ruled by uniformitarianism, but now geologists concede that the earth is regularly visited by catastrophe. In mundane astrology we are at the greatest peril when Saturn is in its home signs and Jupiter in the signs of either malefic as it is now.
Well, here's one that goes by looking at what the signs signify: https://classicalastrologer.me/2012/12/31/the-quest-for-the-age-of-aquarius/

Hi,
I'm not sure I'm posting in the right spot but I'm looking for some insight. I am an artist and graphic designer and I would like to do a project on the age of Aquarius.
While I understand the exact dates are heavily disputed
as to when the age of Aquarius starts
or started
I'm looking for symbols that would be appropriate to include in my design. I'm familiar with the symbols used for Aquarius and I'm also aware that different types of planet positions have corresponding symbols (square, trine, etc), what I'm looking for is a symbol for procession of the equinox or a symbol representing an astrological age. Any information regarding the other planetary configurations for the age of Aquarius would be appreciated. I'm very much an astrology novice. Thanks!
I have a lot of questions re to the various astrological ages, and yet I am an esotericist so I tend to go with these types of concepts; but still I have a lot of questions about this matter...historically, C.C. Zain (a renowned early to mid 20th century astrological author and found of the Brotherhood of Light) in his researches in the 1920's claimed to have traced the advent of the "Aquarian Age" to 1889-which would be about the time radical technological discoveries and applications began.
But of course others have come up with radically different dates for the beginning of the New Age (Golden Dawn's S.L. Macgregor Mathers, for example, around the first decade of the 20th century, calculated-sidereally-the advent of the Aquarian Age at 2050 AD)
Like I said, I have lots of questions (in my little mind) regarding this subject...
C.C. Zain estimated that the Age of Aquarius began in 1889;
S. L. MacGregor Mathers (co-founder of the Golden Dawn) gave 2050 as the beginning of the Aquarian Age;
Using the Alcyone/Pleiades ayanamsa, the Age of Aquarius began in the Spring of 2001...
Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Zain (founder of the astrological Brotherhood of Light) gave 1889 as the beginning of the Age.
My personal opinion (as of the present) is that oncoming Ages shadow forth their influences many (perhaps even a hundred or more) years before the actual "switch" occurs-then, too, there is the issue of mixed ages due to the overlap of the "borders" of the constellations involved: one of the largest such overlaps is between the beginning of Pisces and the end of Aquarius: converted into time, this overlap amounts to several hundred years-perhaps we are-and have been-in this overlap for some length of time?
Expectations for the "Age of Aquarius" may be overly optimisticThe major issue
as dr. farr mentioned earlier
is that zodiacal constellations are not uniform in size
so it's always debateable
as to exactly when
or at precisely what time
a new astrological age begins
Right, I think that the overlap is quite significant: so that we can have the beginning of a particular Age occuring while the ending of the previous Age is still present; I certainly think this occured between Pisces/Aries, and I think is happening now between Aquarius/Pisces. The New Testament reference to Jesus saying "I am the First and the Last", possibly has an esoteric meaning referring to the time period of Jesus (life on Earth) during such an overlap, ie, the coincident final years of the Arian Age and the earliest years of the Piscean Age.
I will also mention that the concept of astrological Ages was mentioned as ancient and generally accepted belief by Origen (c 3rd century AD)-however, when we look at the ancient literature (eg Valens, Antiochus of Athens, the Corpus Hermeticum, etc) we find these Ages either connected with planets ("planetary ages") or with signs (and I'll add, TROPICAL signs) as in the extensive work of 9th century Abu Mashar (in his "Book of the Thousands")...apparently various methods (mundane in nature) were expounded during those ancient times (through the time of Abu Mashar) for determining the inceptions and terminations of these Ages: however, little investigation has been done into these oldtime methods for determining the Ages (whether planetary Ages or "sign" Ages), almost all attention regarding this matter over the past century being concentrated on the sidereal (constellational) Ages, which concept was first popularized in the latter part of the 19th century by the internationally acclaimed poet (and prominent Golden Dawn adept) W.B. Yeats...
Contentious aspects of the astrological ages
Definitive details on the astrological ages are lacking, and consequently most details available about the astrological ages are disputed. The 20th century British astrologer Charles Carter stated that"It is probable that there is no branch of Astrology upon which more nonsense has been poured forth than the doctrine of the precession of the equinoxes." (precession of the equinoxes as the root cause of the astrological ages)In 2000 Neil Spencer in his book True as the Stars Above expressed a similar opinion about the astrological ages. Spencer singles out the astrological ages as being "fuzzy", "speculative" and least defined area of astrological lore. Derek and Julia Parker claim that it is impossible to state the exact date for the start of any astrological age and acknowledge that many astrologers believe the Age of Aquarius has arrived while many claim the world is at the end of the Age of Pisces.
Ray Grasse states in Signs of the Times - Unlocking the Symbolic Language of World Events that "there is considerable dispute over the exact starting and ending times for the different Great Ages." Paul Wright in The Great Ages and Other Astrological Cycles believes that much of the uncertainty related to the astrological ages is because many astrologers have a poor understanding of the meaning of the astrological symbolism and "even poorer historical knowledge" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_age
