The Age of Aquarius

When the moon is in the Seventh House
 and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets….
and love will steer the stars
! This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

The lyrics of this 1969 song by the 5^th Dimension are based on the belief that the world would soon be entering an Age of Aquarius, an age of love, light, and humanity. The song is mostly associated with the hippies of the 1960s and ’70s—but I am finding that the lyrics of this song are so applicable in the world we are living in … especially as we enter the new Aquarius moon today.

Crazy that I will admit this to all of you, but here goes! I often listen to show tunes such as “Hair” when I write executive presentations and internal documents (don’t ask… it just seems to work for me) and I seem to be doing a lot of writing lately. This song came on my Pandora, and it got me thinking that we are totally entering this new age… this Age of Aquarius. Don't you think? Can't you feel it? 

I started to research what this "Age" meant, and it turns out there is a ton being written on this topic at this point in time. There is definitely a reason why too. We see it in the news and we are feeling a vibration of some sort. A clear cellular shift of our collective consciousness.

People are protesting hate; walking to support love; we are accepting that love doesn’t have colors or genders or boundaries. The arrival of the Aquarian age is 100% associated with…well, harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding. 

All free and independent thinkers should be excited about the New Aquarian Age where wisdom will blossom and there will be a new importance on self development, self transformation, self realization and self actualization. Personal transformation will help us lead an overall evolution – allowing us to essentially “pay it forward.”

This New Age or shift is especially clear when I talk to my children and I listen to how they are concerned about the planet, animals, and other people. These kids are the embodiment of our potential and are our guides. They are all about service and love. They are here to teach and to give. They are happy, delightful, forgiving and light-workers. They have a warrior spirit, because they want to squash down old systems that no longer serve us. They question and want to change government, educational and legal systems that lack integrity. And, they have the fiery determination to drive this change. If this is where our humanity is headed—I am thumbing a ride.

The Age of Aquarius is regarded as a spiritual turning point – for society, and each and every individual. There is so much speculation about the beginning of the Aquarius era. In reading about it, many think it has started, some say that it coincides with the Mayan calendar and that the “end of the world” that was meant to occur in 2012 actually ushered in the new age, and ended an old one.  

And now, we are about to enter the second zodiac sign of the 2015 New Year— Aquarius! I don’t know about you… but I am giddy this year. I can feel the vibration of change.

Quite simply – we can all be the change that the Age of Aquarius song sings about. Bring about peace that will guide the planets…and deliver love that will steer the stars.

Peace out!
