The Beauty of Astrology

the beauty of astrology is... it tells you exactly what's going on...

Why the things happen when they do. And why they don't.

Nothing else really helps makes sense of the world we live in.

But of course, you need to be looking at astrology for what it really is. You need to understand the real and true meaning of every aspect or position at a particular place or time. And that is very complex, so you need patience, loads of it.

Once you truly understand, you are one with the universe. This is the enlightenment ancient sages spoke of, that results from true knowledge.

A peace dawns on you because you know. You Know.

The Coming Capricorn Age

Freedom in everything, relaxation of rules everywhere, free for all, the absence of rules - these are the things that are growing in popularity today.

The Aquarian Age.

But this age will end and there will be immense force felt by all from the heavy hand of law when it does. The times change eventually. When this happens, it will be heavy handed and difficult to digest. Just as the transition from Aries to Pisces, the age of persecutions, when the human race was purified through pain, suffering and sacrifice.

Rules will rain upon the human race like never before. Restrictions and boundaries will be set in our lives, in all its aspects.

This will be the beginning of the Capricorn Age.

Each age is about 2160 years, so depending on where you think the Pisces age and Aquarius Age started, the Capricorn Age will begin.

I have attempted to create the exact date based based on history and my interpretation of the Age of Pisces, which is that it is an age of persecution. The Roman destruction of Carthage in the spring of 146 BC seems to be widely accepted as the first genocide, which I will take as the beginning of the Piscean Age.

Add 2160 years, you get the Spring of 2014, which should be the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, when freedom might take off in a big way.

Adding another 2160 years, the Age of Capricorn should begin in the year 4174.

When we start seeing a change from the crazy 'freedom is everything' slogans we see today, to a marked shift in rules for anything and everything, know that the Capricorn Age is near.

Died and Reborn

I will be relocating back to where I grew up after 14 years.

During the relocation my ascendant moves from 14 degrees Aries to 18 degrees Pisces.

It goes through the Spring Zero point, the point that represents endings and beginnings. I hope, it doesn't represent actual death.

But well, that has been my experience when I moved here 15 years ago. I was forced to become somebody else. I resisted with all my might, with everything I got. But ultimately gave in, I think.

Basically, I was extremely naive about my own country, India. Till I came here and found myself facing, quite literally, death itself.

I was being destroyed physically, nothing agreed with me. Found out how superficial everyone really is. Had to give up all my previous hopes and dreams and start anew.

But now, an opportunity to go back. I would love to go back. The resulting ascendant would be sextiling my sun and moon, by being at their midpoint.

But my ascendant will have to pass through zero degrees Aries, which I fear, is the point of death.

Let's wait and see how literal all this is. And besides, I can't say if I have changed, died and reborn, for sure. Only an outsider can. Or maybe I can when I go back and see if I feel the same things I used to, or if that part of me has been completely destroyed. Or will I have to go through another process of death?

Or would it be like coming back from the dead?

It has been difficult, I can say that.

Also, the journey date seems to be coinciding with my first Saturn return.
