The Upcoming Age of Air — Embrace Positive Change

On December 17 2020 Saturn leaves one sign of his rulership and enters the other — Aquarius.

On December 19 Jupiter also enters the Waterbearer, where the two conjoin exactly in 0 degrees Aquarius on December 21, the day of the winter solstice. The two are already effectively within orbs of a conjunction in the latter degrees of Capricorn.

The symbolism could not be more emphatic, in my opinion. This is the true date of the Great Migration, where the Grand Conjunction, which occurs every 19.6 years, moves into another element, on this occasion from earth into air.

Threshold of the Age of Air

This, I contend, is the threshold of the Age of Air, where gross materialism will finally be let go. For two hundred years humanity has been led blindly from one disaster to another, in an almost endless sequence of war and revolution. Whilst there has seemingly been an improvement in certain material conditions and a great growth in our population, we have never been more misled, or confused.

Aquarius and air signs in general (Libra, Gemini), represent thought, the mind, communication, relationships and equity. There will develop a lightening of our civilisation, away from materialism and more towards the merging of science and spirituality, which were always effectively the same discipline.

The Great Migration

The last time this Great Migration occurred in the early 13th century, that is moving from the earth element into air, we had developments like the Magna Carta (1215) and the birth of great men and philosophers, such as Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon. According to the extant records, the 13th and 14th centuries represent the gestation of what we now call the Renaissance.

Whilst there were naturally many negative aspects, it was generally a time of cultural flowering, more openness, experimentation; yet it was also a highly spiritual age. Life was far from perfect, of course, yet our understanding of the past is not always accurate. We are victims of thinking that everything in the past has to be less advanced than our own times. This is not true.

One Step Back — Two Forward

So the way I see it, the first twenty years of this new Age of Air, influenced by the fixed air sign of Aquarius, will be a time of making new foundations in philosophy, science and spirituality. There will be new modes of governing ourselves; in fact, the concept of government is about to change fundamentally.

Whilst we will begin to slowly free ourselves from the previous grossly materialistic culture, we will also start to harken back to previous ages and realise that much wisdom has been foolishly and forcibly removed from our civilisation. We must go one step back to go two forward, so to speak.

The Birth and Death of Kings

This change, I believe, is inevitable. Traditionally, the Great Conjunction every twenty years represents the ‘birth and death of kings’. The migration into another element strongly indicates deeper, more fundamental change, spiritually and structurally.

It will not be easy, of course, but it is absolutely necessary for our long term well-being, culturally and spiritually. We shall be able to look forward towards freedom, whilst working within certain eternal, fundamental spiritual realities which cannot be ignored.

Let us embrace this change — it is, after all, ‘written in the stars’ of our Creator.

At the Threshold of Jupiter Conjunct Saturn — Laura Bruno’s Blog (Reblog)

I keep having dreams of doors, latches that cannot and should not be locked, and thresholds. I also keep having bizarre experiences at the threshold of my office. These feel orchestrated, “impossible,” and then, upon further investigation link to a spiderweb of dreams going back decades. I shared some of these threshold experiences in other […]

Astrology & Health: Sagittarius — Astrology Musings

The mutable fire sign of Sagittarius, the archer, is the ninth star sign of the zodiac in astrology.

Sagittarius represents the farthest southward outreach of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun, where the daylight is subsequently short in the north, called winter, and the days are at their longest in the south, the southern summer.

Probably because of this fact, these thirty degrees of the ecliptic are named ‘the archer’, Sagittarius in Latin, the symbol of the centaur about to shoot an arrow into the far distance. This sign not only represents the higher mind but also long distance travel, the explorer, as well as the philosopher and the lawmaker.

Sagittarius is ruled by the so-called giant planet Jupiter, ‘king of the gods’, also associated with expansion, optimism, long distance travel, religion and philosophy.

Typical Sagittarians are indeed optimists, often sporty, outdoors people, who often need to understand the concept of limitation. Whilst such individuals can be inspirational to be around, the tendency to go too far is often present. For these reasons, issues relating to health will arise.

Hips, thighs and liver

Sagittarius traditionally rules the hips, thighs and liver, the largest organ and gland of the body, reflecting Jupiter, the largest planet and ruler of this sign. Obviously our hips and thighs are instrumental in exercise and getting us out and about.

These are often areas of weakness with those who have Sagittarius strongly emphasised in their charts. Sagittarius likes to be out and about, is often very sportive, even explorative, and so the hips and thighs tend to be subject to injury.

Equally, because Sagittarius often likes to party, a lot, the liver may well suffer too in the long run. Those Sagittarians who have little restrictive elements to their character, have to learn the hard way by experiencing injury to their hips and thighs and/or problems with their liver due to ‘high living’, life telling them to amend their party lifestyle.

In a nutshell, the lesson a strong Sagittarius type needs to learn, is one of restraint. Whilst exercise and enjoying oneself are important factors in making life tolerable — there have to be limits.
