27. Age of Aquarius

1) Jennifer McLean (support@mcleanmasterworks.com)

Now, many say this is the actual dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

The last time this conjunction happened in Aquarius it was 1400 years ago at the start of the renaissance after the black plague.

Feels like we are in somewhat similar circumstances.

This new aquarian age is ushering in a time of radical changes and greater equalization.

We are moving from “mine” and materialism, to humanitarian efforts, less top down economies, more grass roots efforts, and deep authentic sharing.

So perhaps we are now entering the “modern renaissance” where peace, creativity and solidarity is possible?

On this solstice night, Jupiter and Saturn will come so close in the sky, they will appear as one large planet. The last time Jupiter and Saturn kissed in the sky was in the year 1226. 

According to intuitive astrologer, Rachel Lang, in the Dec 2019 article, 2020 is Just the Beginning of the Great Transformation, “this [Jupiter-Saturn] transit suggests a new beginning for us all and a turning point in our history. It shows us the best way forward is to bring our unique and individual ideas together in community spaces, building teams and coalitions to create change. It’s a liberating influence that starts with questioning your beliefs and thought patterns.”

Many astrologers claim that this Winter Solstice also marks the official start of the Age of Aquarius. The last time we were in this 2150-year astrological age (12 constellations of the Zodiac) was roughly 25,800 years ago (there is much debate around the exact start of the Age of Aquarius but the perfect storm of pandemic, political and planetary upheaval in 2020 and this great planetary conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn, meeting at exactly the 1st degree of Aquarius, does seem characteristic of a final cosmic push and dramatic transition from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius). 

Intrigued and wondering how your spiritual growth has been impacted by larger forces as we enter the Age of Aquarius?

I’m a novice when it comes to astrology but found this article, the Age of Aquarius – the Next Chapter, and a description of the last six ages starting with the Age of Leo, very resonant and eye-opening.

It was especially heartening and hopeful to read that Aquarius is a democratic, egalitarian sign and that the hierarchical top-down systems of the past will cease to exist. 

What was also fascinating to learn is that the twin fish in the Pisces sign represent the Ego and the Soul, artificially split and in constant battle. Apparently, in the Age of Aquarius we will reconcile this Yin-Yang dilemma and learn to work together toward greater humanitarian goals guided by an overarching, integrated higher self –– my name for this transformation and mode of operating: Soul Authority. 

As you tap into your second sight and third eye vision during this darkest day, ask yourself these questions:

How unwavering is your trust in mystery taking care of you and your deepest needs, especially if you don’t see any signs of this? My mother at one point perceived everyone or everything (aka life) off by just a few degrees or minutes. She was miserable and is now at peace. Nothing has changed other than her ego-mind perception that all is happening exactly at the right time. Is 2020 testing our ability to hold polarities and our trust in mystery through this onslaught of loss and hardship?

What do we do when our ego-mind counts and fixates on weeks, months, years, decades, and even lifetimes of not being met by life and the Universe? It’s not hard to argue, by just looking at the impact of patriarchy and racism, that there is some truth to this claim. 

What exactly happens when our souls, in the exact same circumstances, see life differently and are able to overrule our ego-mind’s perception, and explain that we may not get what we want and when we want it, but the Universe does deliver exactly what we need, nothing more, nothing less, to grow and expand, all in divine time. The trick is getting our ego-minds and souls to work in sync so this becomes an easeful and enjoyable process. 

Speaking of . . . stay tuned for my next piece on the funny/not funny, wicked trick that my Taoist ancestors played on me twenty years ago and finally let me in on. A part of me wishes I’d known about this secret much sooner (because of the curse and big heartache it would have spared me), while another part gets and appreciates that it went down precisely as it did.

Wishing you happy holidays, and as we enter this Age of Aquarius, ever-growing trust and surrendering to your natural genius and all the mysterious ways that life is supporting your rebirth and powerful emergence.

Be Sacred. Be (a) Well.
