While I'm not particularly interested in this topic, I have been following the conversation and some thoughts about what the Aquarian age might bring to the planet have been forming in my head. So here goes my conjecture.
I think that to get a handle on how the Aquarian age is likely to pan out we need to take a zoomed out perspective on just what Aquarius is. Deconstructing the various archetypes/memes attached to the sign to get to a more global understanding of the sign and by extension how the age would unfold.
Some of the "memes" associated with Aquarius are Saturn, Uranus, Air, Fixity, 11th house, Humanity, and the water-bearer. These different elements have all been associated with Aquarius either from ancient times or modernly.
I'm going to focus on humanity for now.The symbols of the fixed signs are the bull for Taurus, Lion for Leo, Eagle for Scropio and Humans (the water-bearer) for Aquarius. All of these animals display dominance/supremacy and are the apex in their various eco-systems. An age of Aquarius may suggest and Age of Humanity where our species really comes into its own. But what are some of the things that distinguish us from other creatures? For one, we reason. Reason is the mental powers concerned with forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences.
It's this ability that allows us to deconstruct the world around us and re-purpose it to fit to our aims and purposes. Detachment is heavily associated with this Sign and its interesting that our reasoning powers are the latest to develop in our species with the instincts and emotions being magnitudes more familiar to us. Reasoning goes hand-in-hand with humanity and Aquarius is the human. A lot of interesting correlations stem from this; like Aquarius' heavy reliance on reason above more "primitive" faculties, Aquarius' reputation of being innovative and futuristic as its correspondence is literally to the "most evolved" part of our being i.e the pre-frontal cortex.
Not only our reasoning but other qualities that makes us "human". Is it our sentience, consciousness ; our soul? This age may usher in knowledge that illuminate these mysteries to us. If this is the age of humanity - A true supremacy of our species - then the development of these things among the wider population sounds very plausible in the grand scheme of things. Looking at it from this angle I can see the case for spiritual awakening and clear consciousness. We see an evolution from our instincts and emotions (which we share from other species) and move towards becoming more "human" (reason, consciousness, sentience, soul).
