Welcome to the Age of AquArius

Exiting the age of Pisces and entering the age Aquarius, humanity is breaking free from conformity and shifting into a time of hope and conscious enlightenment.

thousands of years, but it reached its peak in the 1960's with the baby boomer generation. These young people began questioning and challenging systemic issues, by exploring their depths of their own consciousness.

The Age of Aquarius from an astrological standpoint is concept based on the positions of planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Mercury) as they align with the sun and moon. As a collective we are exiting the age of Pisces which represents faith, belief, and religion. And we have began entering the age of Aquarius which represents a shift from “me” to “we”.

An astrological precession takes approximately 2160 years for one sign to cycle back around to its original position, we’ll be experiencing these changes until approximately 2092!

Astrologers believe this alignment of the age Aquarius will bring about social change through empathy and harmony among humanity. This concept may seem far-fetched at first glance; however, there are many examples throughout history where this type of alignment has caused major changes in society.

During the counter culture movement of the 60's people were becoming more aware of societal issues like racism, sexism, and needless war. People were also starting to question their role in society as well as the political system that seem to promote and support segregation and war over seas.

Currently, we can see how this phenomenon is being reexamined by millennials and Gen Z who are looking for effective solutions to living a prosperous lifestyle on their own terms— avoiding the trap of slaving away for corporations and fast food companies.

Instead, the younger generations are seeking ways to change our world into a more sustainable and inclusive environment.

These ideas all aligned with what astrologers predicted would occur during the age of Aquarius. It’s no wonder there is currently so much change in today's society. That means there’s plenty more time for us all to work together towards creating a peaceful future for humanity, while exploring our consciousness to heal ourselves and ultimately our broken society.
