Your Personal Journey Into The Age Of Aquarius
We are in the midst of a monumental shift, a global awakening from the depths of our shared trials and tribulations. As we bid farewell to the Age of Pisces and embrace the dawn of the Age of Aquarius, a new worldview is unfolding before us.
Imagine a realm where consciousness evolves collectively, where spirituality transcends boundaries, and where we move as a unified force toward a brighter tomorrow. In this era of transition, as cosmic energies realign and ancient prophecies come to fruition, we are on the cusp of a renaissance of the soul.
The emergence of a new age beckons us to explore uncharted territories of consciousness and connection. Together, we are poised to embark on a journey of profound transformation and growth as we navigate this unprecedented juncture in our shared human experience.
Humanity has been evolving for thousands of years. Throughout recorded history, we’ve gained collective epigenetic wisdom in our cellular memory and the evolution of our DNA. This collective wisdom, or shared consciousness, has resulted in humanity’s greatest strengths and weakest shortcomings that are so evident today.
It is also now culminating in a global energetic transmutation and higher consciousness awakening that is gradually gaining momentum and will ultimately lead to our emergence from collective suffering. The Age of Pisces is ending and we are entering the new Age of Aquarius. The Age of Pisces was characterized by the energies of hierarchy, authority, patriarchy and dogmatic religion. In contrast, with the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, we are moving into a new era of enlightenment, unity and a more spiritually evolved global society. Humanity is throwing off the shackles of suffering, sadness and submission and stepping into the joys of assertiveness, empowerment and equality.
The Old Age of Pisces
The concept of the astrological ages of Pisces and Aquarius is rooted in ancient astrology, and each age lasts approximately 2,150 to 2,200 years, marking a period during which the vernal equinox passes through one of the twelve zodiacal signs.
The Age of Pisces is symbolized by the fish and is associated with themes of sacrifice, organized religion, and hierarchical structures. It has woven a profound tapestry of human experience, guiding us through the currents of sacrifice, suffering, and religiosity. Our collective consciousness has been shaped by the Piscean energies of this era, providing us with a lens through which to perceive adversity and transcendence.
The Age of Pisces has been a crucible for humanity, stirring the depths of our hearts and minds with the profound anguish that often accompanies spiritual growth. Through the veil of suffering, we have glimpsed the essence of our common humanity, fostering empathy and compassion that transcends individual struggles. The cosmic dance of Piscean energies has invited us to delve into the mysteries of existence, seeking solace in religious practices and communal bonds that bridge the chasms of pain and isolation.
As the Age of Pisces draws to a close, we stand on the threshold of a new dawn, witnessing the subtle yet powerful signals of a cosmic shift. The celestial symphony heralds the emergence of the Age of Aquarius, beckoning us into a realm of heightened consciousness and evolving social values. The fading echoes of Piscean sacrifice and spiritual formality pave the way for innovative new paradigms and transformative possibilities, leading us to a future filled with hope and enlightenment.
The New Age of Aquarius
As we bid farewell to the Age of Pisces, we usher in an era of conscious evolution, cosmic harmony and spiritual expansion. The Age of Aquarius heralds a new chapter in our collective journey toward enlightenment and oneness with the cosmos and the divine.
The Age of Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer and associated with themes of innovation, enlightenment, and humanitarianism. It represents a shift away from hierarchical structures to more decentralized and egalitarian social models that emphasize equality and communal well-being. There will be an increasing emphasis on personal freedom, social justice and environmental awareness.
In the Age of Aquarius, we are called to embark on a journey of conscious evolution, both individually and collectively. This era encourages us to transcend our previous limitations, tap into higher states of consciousness, and explore the interconnectedness of all beings in the universe. As we align with the cosmic vibrations of Aquarius, we open ourselves to new possibilities for inner growth and spiritual enlightenment.
Technological advancement and intellectual progress will also be hallmarks of the Aquarian Age. One of the most exciting aspects of the Age of Aquarius is the harmonious relationship between technological advancement and spiritual development. In this new age, we have the opportunity to merge cutting-edge innovation with ancient wisdom, creating a synergy that can lead to profound positive change. By integrating technology with spirituality, we pave the way for a future in which progress serves not only material needs, but also the expansion of consciousness and the well-being of all.
The new Aquarian age will be characterized by certain key features:
Consciousness Expansion: Humanity will experience a collective expansion of consciousness, resulting in increased awareness, spiritual insight, and a deeper connection to universal truths.
Interconnectedness: Increased awareness of the interconnectedness of everyone and everything, and a shift toward a more unified and harmonious global consciousness. This includes a sense of oneness with nature, other sentient beings, and the cosmos. We will be united in our search for higher truths, deeper connections, and a more enlightened existence.
Nature Awareness: A focus on living in harmony with the natural world, recognizing the interconnectedness of all life forms, and promoting ecological awareness and sustainability.
Alternative Healing: The acceptance and promotion of alternative healing practices such as energy healing, crystal therapy, meditation, and other holistic approaches to wellness.
Higher Values: Humanity is moving away from materialism, consumerism, and self-centered pursuits toward values that prioritize spiritual well-being, compassion, and the collective good.
Egalitarian Values: More egalitarian and compassionate social structures with an emphasis on love, understanding, and cooperation as guiding principles.
Non-Traditional Spirituality: Openness to a wide range of spiritual beliefs and practices, drawing inspiration from diverse religious and mystical traditions, as well as esoteric and occult teachings.
Collective Illumination: A new era characterized by global spiritual enlightenment, higher wisdom, and freedom from the perceived limitations and conflicts of the past.
Individual Enlightenment: Emphasis on personal and individual spiritual growth, with more people undertaking transformational journeys, exploring alternative spiritual practices, and adopting holistic lifestyles. The Age of Aquarius offers us the opportunity to redefine our relationship with ourselves, with each other, and with the universe as a whole.
Timing Of The Transition
All of the above seems really great! But there is one small problem: no one knows for sure when exactly the Age of Pisces will end and when exactly the new Age of Aquarius will be in full swing. According to many astrologers and psychics, we are already transitioning from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, but the exact timing of this transition is not universally agreed upon. The timing of the transition cannot be precisely defined, and opinions vary as to when and how quickly this shift will occur.
In astrological terms, the Age of Aquarius is based on the astronomical precession of the equinoxes, which is a gradual and continuous shift in the Earth’s axial rotation. Essentially, the Earth’s axis undergoes a slow, cyclical wobble over a period of about 26,000 years. During this precessional cycle, the apparent position of the vernal equinox (the point at which the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north) slowly shifts along the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the sky. The ecliptic is divided into twelve constellations, each corresponding to about 30 degrees of celestial longitude.
Currently, the vernal equinox is still in the zodiacal sign of Pisces, based on the tropical zodiac commonly used in Western astrology. However, due to the precession of the equinoxes, the vernal equinox is gradually moving from Pisces to Aquarius, which it will not fully reach until around the year 2600 A.D., which is approximately 576 years in the future (from the year 2024) based on the Gregorian calendar.
Astrologers however do not agree on the timing and therefore place the Age of Aquarius anywhere between the 20th and 22nd centuries. Some suggest that it began as early as 2012, while others believe that the Age of Aquarius is yet to arrive. Many view it not as a specific date, but instead a gradual shift. They see its influence as growing over time rather than a sudden transition. Even within specific methodologies, there is disagreement about the exact date. Moreover, the dates themselves only mark the astrological shift; the real-world changes associated with the age may not always align perfectly. The exact date or timing of the transition remains open to interpretation.
Embracing The Aquarian Frequency
The good news is that we do not have to wait decades or even centuries for the energies of the new age to unfold in our lives. We can begin now to work on our own auric energy vibration to get to that frequency personally sooner. I imagine that this personal spiritual journey is like a merge sign for a highway on-ramp. You have to merge gradually in the right direction; you cannot just flip your car off the bridge and onto a new path!
This gradual transcendental merging can be achieved through various lifestyle strategies and spiritual practices. Here are some you can explore to help you raise your energy vibration and embrace the dawning of the new Age of Aquarius:
SELF-AWARENESS
Engage in practices that promote personal growth, self-awareness, introspection, and self-discovery, such as meditation, mindfulness, or journaling. Reflect on your beliefs, values, and purpose in life, seeking alignment with higher ideals and discovering your true essence.
Practice mindfulness in your daily activities, bringing awareness to each moment to connect with the higher frequencies of the new age. Cultivate a positive attitude and focus on gratitude to foster a more harmonious and positive inner environment. Be open to new experiences and perspectives, embracing the fluidity of life and growth.
MIND-BODY WELLNESS
Embrace holistic approaches to health, including physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Consider practices such as yoga, tai chi, or energy healing for overall balance. Incorporate mind-body practices such as breath work and mindfulness to cultivate inner peace and mental clarity. Explore energy-based practices such as Reiki or Qi Gong to enhance your spiritual energy.
ESOTERIC EXPLORATION
Explore different spiritual traditions, philosophies, and practices to find those that resonate best with you. Listen to podcasts, read books, and attend workshops, seminars, or study groups that explore various metaphysical and esoteric topics.
INTUITIVE DEVELOPMENT
Develop and trust your intuition by exploring practices such as divination and dreamwork. Pay attention to synchronicities and signs that may be guiding you on your spiritual journey. Trust your inner guidance to navigate your spiritual path with clarity and purpose.
Get psychic readings from time to time from reputable counselors to validate what Spirit is telling you every step of the way, and to tame those “wiggly squiggles” in your mind – those unfounded fears about why something cannot or will not happen; those self-limiting doubts that keep us stuck.
NATURE CONNECTION
Cultivate a deeper connection with nature by recognizing the interconnectedness of all living things. Spend more time outdoors, practice eco-friendly habits, and support environmental causes. Reconnect with the natural world to ground yourself and tap into the healing energies of the earth.
Cultivate a sustainable and nature-friendly mindset and lifestyle by adopting practices and attitudes that prioritize the well-being of the Earth and its ecosystems. Begin by educating yourself about environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Stay informed about the impact of human activities on the planet and support sustainable and eco-friendly products and businesses. Advocate for policies and practices that promote sustainability at local, national, and global levels and use your voice to raise awareness.
CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Express yourself creatively through art, music, writing, or other forms of self-expression. Use your creativity as a means of connecting with your higher self. Engaging in creative activities induces a state of flow, where you lose a sense of suffering and ego. The immersive artistic experience leads to moments of heightened spiritual connection, allowing you to access a higher state of consciousness.
Artistic creations, including visual art, music, and poetry, also carry energetic frequencies. When you engage with or create high-vibrational art, you increasingly resonate with those frequencies, positively influencing your own energy.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Engage in acts of kindness, activism, and service to others to foster a sense of compassion and interconnectedness and to promote healing and positive change in the world. Volunteer or contribute to causes that align with your values.
Extend compassion and empathy to others. Embrace the richness of diverse perspectives and cultures within our global community and honor the interconnected tapestry of humanity. Join or create discussion groups to share insights and experiences.
Connect with like-minded people through spiritual or metaphysical communities. Harness the power of collective energy by participating in group meditations for healing and transformation.
Embracing The Ascension Journey
Remember that personal spiritual journeys are highly individual and these suggestions are intended only as general guidance. It’s important to explore and integrate practices that resonate with your personal beliefs and contribute positively to your own growth and well-being. However, being open to learning, adapting and evolving on your spiritual path is also a key aspect of the Aquarian journey.
Of course, we will still be present with some of the old fears, suffering, neuroses, and limiting beliefs that continue to echo in the Piscean Age, but nothing prevents us from embarking on a more self-empowering New Age journey into the Aquarian future.
Pisces is the sign of intuition, magic and the underdog. What better sign to emerge from than the last sign of the zodiac! We have received much wisdom from our ancestors. Now we are ready to move forward together to manifest new blessings and a more enlightened future for humanity. We will create new innovations, exceed expectations and surprise ourselves.
The keyword phrase traditionally associated with the zodiac sign Pisces is “I believe.” In astrological terms, each zodiac sign is linked to a specific phrase that encapsulates its characteristic qualities. “I believe” reflects Pisces’ association with intuition, spirituality, and a strong connection to the unseen realms. As our crown chakra opens more fully, we will naturally let go of our need to ask so many questions about our collective future. We will simply know. In astrological terms, the two-word phrase associated with the sign of Aquarius is “I know.” It reflects Aquarius’ association with intellectual pursuits, innovation, and a strong sense of individuality and knowledge.
The Age of Pisces has sculpted our souls with its ethereal touch, preparing us for the wondrous odyssey that awaits us in the luminous realms of the Age of Aquarius. Let us navigate this celestial dance with open hearts and awakened spirits, embracing the mysteries of the universe with courage and grace.
May healing energies abound for all of us as we move forward into a new age. We are truly in the darkest hour before the dawn. Let us step into this new era with optimism, hope and willingness, for the Universe is now calling us to co-create a brighter, more enlightened future.
How To Find Your Direction In Life
As a professional psychic, I have done readings for many people over the years who have lost their sense of direction in life. They usually ask questions about where there life might be going.
“Where do you want it to go?” I then reply.
“To a better place!” is the frequent response, although they typically do not know what they really want, or why they even want it!
The purpose of a psychic reading, I then explain, is to look at what possibilities and opportunities life has to offer each person. However, being co-creators with the Divine, God, Source, Spirit, the Universe, we first need to get clarity about what we actually want from life. After all, how can the Universe send you what you wish for, when you don’t know what it is yet?
Once we are fully aware and clear about what we want, we can begin asking for it and align our energy to the desired end result. This is how we ultimately attract what we desire and deserve – more often than not with greater speed and abundance.
Have you been tossed and turned by the storms of life to such the extent that you no longer quite know where you are heading, or need to be? If so, then you need to find a sense of direction. To set your internal compass towards a more fulfilling, meaningful life blessed by the Universe, consider the following strategies:
Go From Inactive To Proactive
Stepping outside of one’s comfort zone is easier said than done. However, to find new direction in your life you must end the procrastination. Figure out what you really want in life and start taking measurable action steps to begin achieving it.
The Babysitter’s Near-Death Experience
While I was working out at the gym one day, I saw a little old lady who used to babysit me and my brothers when we were little children. I will never the wonderful times we had with her. She was always making it so much fun. She wasn’t on the phone all the time or watching television. She wasn’t ignoring us kids like so many of the other babysitters my mother sometimes hired for us.
When I spotted her and her daughter in the gym, I walked over to greet her, and told her that I remember her very well. I also thanked her for giving me some wonderful memories and teaching me so many valuable life lessons. The one thing I specifically remember her telling me was to always be careful about what we “put into our minds.”At a young age she had already made me realize that what we think about can either help us or harm us. I have always held on to that wisdom in my life. Because it is truly worth more than gold.
One time, I asked her how she knew so much about things. She looked at me and said,“Moon, you know what, I died once.”
“What? No way!” I responded. I went to catholic school growing up, and near-death experiences were certainly not the kind of thing we were learning about in class.
“Yes, I was in the hospital,” she continued. “I had a major operation and I could not wake up afterwards.” Apparently, she had flatlined during surgery and they had struggled to revive her.
“I am very lucky to be here,” she said and then shared some very interesting things with me about her near-death experience (NDE). I still remember that when she first left her body her parents were both there to meet her and she could hear loved ones on the other side of the tunnel having fun. I also remember she said she felt like a ball of light at the time and that it felt so good. The next moment she was being pulled back into her body. Continue reading
Blessed With The Knowing Of The Divine Feminine
In the Greek myth of Pandora’s Box, an inquisitive woman decides to open a mysterious jar left in the care of her husband. In the process, she releases the many curses of sickness, suffering and death upon humanity. Pandora desperately tried to close the lid of the jar, before all the evils of this world escaped, but it was too late. Only one item remained, and that was hope.
In the similar Biblical tale of Adam and Eve, an inquisitive woman is enticed to eat the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, causing the fall from grace of humanity. As a result, all sorts of sicknesses, struggles, and sin have been afflicting humanity ever since.
As we shift from the astrological Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, achieving increased spiritual awareness and enlightenment will become one of humanity’s greatest improvements. We will become more certain of our soul’s destiny, safety, and calling, and no longer have to work through our petty human fears and worries by leaning on the crutches of dogmatic religion and the uncertainty of Pandora’s hope.
With sufficient spiritual practice and energy work, hope can be transformed into a simple knowing, and faith or belief can become complete conviction. One’s soul purpose becomes defined, opening the crown chakra like a sports dome at a baseball game. We become sure of our calling and destiny. We are ready to enjoy the blessings.
Through our daily self-care journey and meditation, we can purify the crown chakra to magnify our purpose. We can stay calm in even the most difficult circumstances. We become a benefit to society at large, creating a shelter for those less fortunate.
If we dare to raise our vibrations significantly, we may help humanity, the offspring of Eve and Pandora. Not everyone is blessed to have the wisdom or resources to ascend. We can be the helping hands for those souls, helping them, guiding them to enlightened knowing and spiritual wisdom.
The Hidden Blessings Of Retrograde Reflections
During the most recent Mercury retrograde, there was a day when my phone simply stopped working. I signed onto Psychic Access to do readings, but my landline failed to connect. Later that week, something similar happened. My landline was now working again, but when I tried to sign on to Psychic Access to start my shift, I was unable to connect. Technical issues twice in one week. I felt like I was going to lose it!
Planetary retrogrades are prime times to experience setbacks and frustrations. This has been especially true over the past two years due to the pandemic. Vibrational energy across the planet has been very low in recent times.
It is vital to stay calm, centered and grounded during retrogrades, and to not be too hard on oneself. Retrogrades are times for reflection, validation, and analysis of how we may improve ourselves. It’s a time of seeing where our personal energy frequency may need some adjustment. Opportunities for healing, growth and self-care abound if we take the initiative!
Carving out a little ‘sanity time’ each day is paramount. Time to oneself provides clarity and purpose to reflect upon personal growth and life’s lessons. It also gives us the opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons; something sweet out of life’s sour and bitter. In time, the sweet joy of our ‘spiritual lemonade’ can be served to the world by being of service, while inspiring our family and friends with our courage and perseverance.
To gather my thoughts after the two missed work shifts on Psychic Access, I decided to take time out for a walk. I love walking, but due to persistent back pain that has been plaguing me for years, it’s an activity that I fail to do on a regular basis.
But the retrograde setbacks with my phone line led me to start walking again. I had to start slowly, and it took some time for me to regain the necessary physical strength, but now I thoroughly enjoy my daily walks in the great outdoors. What a lift for the spirits! Thank you retrograde.
Navigating Energy Challenges – Manual Versus Automatic
I had always been fascinated with driving a stick shift car, as my dad drove several such vehicles in my childhood years. On our third date, my ex-husband took me to an empty parking lot and showed me the ropes on how to drive a stick shift. However, despite his valiant attempt to teach me, I failed miserably.
I reflected on this experience recently, synthesizing an analogy to what I had experienced twenty-five years ago, and found an interesting correlation with my chakra recovery journey.
Also known as Kundalini awakening, the chakra recovery process has not been an easy one for me. I literally felt like I was going to die on many occasions. Six years into this journey, I still incorporate daily energy self-care in the form of meditation, visualization, Epsom salt baths, aromatherapy, and other spiritual practices.
But I have noticed progress! My mind is so much clearer these days, and my sleep more efficient. Most of all, I radiate more kindness, truth, and an open mind of late. And I do believe the best is yet to come!
This reminded me of the ease with which one usually drives an automatic transmission vehicle. To me this is analogous to the ultimate goal of spiritual self-care: to be able to harness the energy of a fully-tuned, balanced chakra system and apply it to everyday life. A person naturally flowing with energy is able to handle more challenging situations with greater ease. Once the crown chakra starts to open, this is when innovative, eternal wisdom flows through. Then we can begin to grasp the rhythm and precision necessary to operate our energy more fluidly and automatically, instead of like a ‘stick shift.’
The Transformative Power Of Silent Meditation
Spirituality is perceived in the East with many similarities to what is believed in the West, but with an entirely different way of talking about it. For example, in terms of Easter philosophy a person’s individual identity is not their ego.
Identity is the journey of self-discovery that consists of affirming one’s individuality and being able to express everything that we are. This can be achieved through meditation, prayer, or various other spiritual and recreational practices that clear the mind through engaging in an activity that soothes us and brings us into silent contemplation.
Silence does not detach us from our soul essence. On the contrary, it allows us to be fully present and completely ourselves, without the limitation of words and actions. It is not aimed at denying our true spiritual nature. On the contrary, it is a time of authentic self-awareness and beingness.
Different Buddhist traditions refer to the natural state of mind as a state of enlightenment. In the Sanskrit and Tibetan traditions, we also find terms that speak of a clear, open mind. In Tibetan philosophy, enlightenment or awakened energy is called byang-chubs – literally purity and wholeness.
Being calm, at ease, and silent constitutes a state of mind that would happen naturally unless something is bothering us. These internal obstacles cannot be blamed on others or our external reality. Life is always complex and rarely calm.
In fact, these obstructions are seen as being nothing but habits, the result of karma, that obstruct the free and unconditional luminosity of the mind, like clouds that cover the sun on a summer day. Karma does not mean punishment. It is the result of previous actions. They are the result of what we do and what happens to us.
