We are at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. This is the astrological age, when AI takes over, scientists find cures for diseases, living in nature will be the new trend and new leaders will appear.
You might wonder. Why are we talking about the dawning of the Age of Aquarius now if it has already begun with the internet and Facebook?
The changes in the astrological ages don’t happen overnight; that is a long process, and it can take many many years. It’s impossible to tell when it starts and when it ends. ( Astrosophy has something different to say about it, though no one can deny the changes that we can already see and prove that the Age of Aquarius is already here.)
That well-known great Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn in 2021 kick-started it. The two planets that determine the social roles met in Aquarius for the first time in hundreds of years.
Every astrological age lasts for approximately 2000 years. The previous one, the Age of Pisces, began with the birth of Jesus Christ. Actually, at his birth, there was the same Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in Pisces, which was the very beginning of the Age of Pisces.
The reason that the next 20 years -from 2020 to approximately 2040- are significant and probably the most exciting decades of the history of humanity is that we will have a demo or a trailer of the direction where humanity/world/technology goes. We will see the trends and have a glimpse into the future. Especially once Pluto ingresses to Aquarius in 2023.
Again, there won’t be overnight shifts- though Aquarius is a fast sign, and it makes changes happen fast.
And not everyone will experience it on the same level or at the same time. Just think about this absurd situation: when Elon Musk launches thousands of satellites into the universe -and only God knows what else he launches too- at the same time, millions of hunter-gatherers exist today. Ok, this might be an extreme example, but you see that for some people, the changes that will happen will be slower for some people, while others are already experiencing them.
1. The Sign of Aquarius
To understand how the dawning of the Age of Aquarius will unfold, one should be familiar with the sign itself. (If you ask me, the most interesting Zodiac Sign of all.)
Large system without a hierarchical structure
The main attributes and domains of the Sign Aquarius are fairly special. It rules the nerves and the brain. Therefore the main attribute of Aquarius is having large systems without a center or without a hierarchical structure. One of the keywords for this age will be equality.
Large group of people- or like-minded people
Aquarius rules a large group of people, some would say Aquarius rules friends. To my mind, close friends are ruled by Gemini, and the 3rd house, while Aquarius is the like-minded people with whom you don’t have an emotional connection but rather a mental connection without emotional attachment. It is more than likely, that people will gather through sharing similar values, beliefs, or thinking similarly, and not by country of origin.
Technology
Technology, technological innovation. Probably you’ve already noticed that Aquarius people have a great understanding of technology, they love gadgets, and for most of them, that is their primary interest.
Aquarius’s other domains are the economic system, basically all sorts of large systems, the stock market, and science.
You can read more about Uranus here, the modern co-ruling planet of Aquarius.
2. Aquarius people
If you happen to know Aquarius people, you know they are a bit different in some ways. Most of the time, they are one step further from others. They have interests in futuristic topics, high technology, and some other “quirky” interests. They even like to dress differently or have different jobs or professions than others. Aquarius-born people are very good at technology. According to my research, many homosexual people are either Aquarius-ruled or have many planets in Aquarius. And many scientists are Aquarius as well! Again, being different and technology are other keywords to the Age of Aquarius.
More than any other sign, Aquarius people believe in science. They’ve been totally concerned for a long time that religions are outdated and unnecessary; for them, religion does not make sense. However, they believe in science, humanism, democracy, equal rights, and equal opportunities.
Do you see now that it’s not easy to understand Aquarius people because they are fairly different from the other 11 Zodiac Signs?
Aquarius people are known to be a bit cold, distant, and have an emotionally detached attitude. The reason is that they rationalize everything, even emotions. And they have a scientific approach to everything. At the same time the friendliest, most well-connected, and most open-minded people of all.
Being a rebellious teenager, moreover, is also a typical Aquarius trait. Therefore, I would predict a lot of rebellions against the old structures we have in the world. Because what is the one thing that Aquarius people are best at? Ok, they are good at many things, but they are best at destroying old structures and building new ones.
3. Technology takes over
The main difference that the world won’t be the same anymore as it was before 2020 is due to technological innovations. That will speed up more than ever.
More high-technological innovations will be introduced that will change every area of our lives.
I’m not telling secrets; you can already see that software, robots, and AI are being developed that could possibly replace human resources and human labor.
In the spring of 2020 –when Saturn moved to Aquarius for a very short time- we saw that the world went online within two weeks. That was a brief demo as well. (However, Zoom meetings cannot really be considered as high technology anymore…)
More significant innovations can be expected in the next couple of years.
One of the real technological breakthroughs will happen in the medical field, I assume. The reason is that Aquarius is the most humanistic sign and besides establishing equal rights on the job market- what would be beneficial for the whole world is to provide a cure for different diseases. And Aquarius rules science as well. And the sign of Cancer rules the 6th house- house of service- from Aquarius. Cancer is all about taking care of the weaker. Therefore I’m convinced that the medical field will benefit a lot.
4. Home environment
The Zodiac Sign Taurus is the 4th sign from Aquarius; therefore, the 4th house domains are under the rulership of Taurus. The 4th house is the home environment, while Taurus is the Zodiac Sign, which rules nature, comfort, and quality materials and can be associated with luxury.
How will our home environment change?
Well, there will be a tendency- or it has already begun- for people from big and crowded capitals or cities to relocate to the countryside, to live closer to nature while working from home is the new normal. Maybe living in wooden/timber houses is the future?!
Honestly, who hasn’t developed a burning desire for a more comfortable – or even luxurious home- and close to nature in 2020 during lockdown?
For those who are looking for investment opportunities, I would recommend investing in properties in villages – where it’s even possible to grow your own food- instead of apartments in the city centers. The reason is Taurus rules food too. Again, the 4th sign from Aquarius is Taurus, and the 4th sign talks about the home environment. I hope it makes sense!
Another possible scenario is that people will spend even more money on their homes. As Taurus is a Venus-ruled sign- the planet of beauty and the primary money planet- having beautiful homes will be the No. 1 desire.
As Taurus is a fixed earth sign, its main attribute is stability, our homes will become the most stable point in our lives.
Interestingly enough the 9th sign from Aquarius is Libra, which is also Venus-ruled. Basically, the 4th house- home environment- and the 9th house- foreign countries- are directly connected through the ruling planet.
Meaning: probably foreign relocations will be easier in the near future. Or more people than ever will live in foreign countries. Again, the Age of Aquarius will last for 2000 years, and this is just the beginning.
Aquarius rules large communities, and Taurus rules the food. To my mind, self-sustaining communities will be more popular in the near future.
5. Relationships
As every subject of life changes, the way we approach romantic relationships and marriages will change too. However, not everyone will be fond of the changes when it comes to relationships in the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
The 7th sign from Aquarius is Leo. Marriage and committed relationships are under the rulership of the proud Leo. Leo, the sign that rules kings and queens.
In the Age of Pisces, the 7th house was under the rulership of Virgo. The sign that rules servants, be of service, being humble and modest.
The main difference will be that couples will stay together until it’s fun, Leo’s analogy. (Leo is having fun, going out, rules holidays, restaurants and pride, dignity.) Until the couple respects each other, treats each other with dignity, and stays together. But they no longer have to stay together to pay the bills and share different responsibilities. (Virgo analogy) As it used to be in the past.
Basically, the whole dynamics of marriages and committed relationships will change. Women are no longer servants at home, they don’t have to shut their mouths and tolerate a lot of things. As it was in the Age of Pisces. In the Age of Aquarius, marriages are ruled by Leo (the king and queen of the Zodiac). Women won’t tolerate as much as the queen would not tolerate anything that undermines her dignity and pride… Couples don’t have to stay together for financial reasons and won’t depend on each other.
But, hey, isn’t this awesome? This is going to be the time for fun marriages, finally! Or real love marriage, as Leo rules falling in love, showing affection, going on dates, romances, etc.
If you ask me if there will be even more narcissistic abusive relationships, I’m afraid yes. Sadly, the more negative manifestation of Leo is narcissism. There is no coincidence that this topic is widely discussed these days and more and more people inform and educate themselves about it.
6. Work
The work environment -the 6th house- is ruled by the 6th sign from Aquarius, which is in the sign of Cancer. Cancer rules home.
The trend will be that more and more people will have access to work at home. As we have already seen, this has already started.
Another possible scenario is there will be more humanitarian professions and missionary jobs. Cancer is the Zodiac Sign which takes care of and protects those who cannot do it by themselves.
The other significant shift in jobs and work environments will happen due to technological innovations. I don’t want to scare anyone that we will be jobless when AI replaces us. I believe there will be new jobs or we won’t have to work that much.
The dawning of the Age of Aquarius will be all about equal rights and equal opportunities. Therefore, I think the time is coming when everyone will have the same opportunities to work.
7. New leaders Emerge
This is going to be interesting…
The 10th sign- authority figures- is ruled by Scorpio. In the past, in the Age of Pisces, it was the sign Sagittarius, the sign that rules religion, religious leaders, and universities.
From now on, Scorpio-like people will be the authority figures. Well, Scorpio rules hidden powers, power struggles, very controlling and dominant people, and strategy planers. Well, the highest manifestation of Scorpio is occultists and enlightened spiritual people.
Probably the most exciting changes in the dawning of the Age of Aquarius will happen with the authority figures. My prediction is that there will be more leaders with less power, and the power of the authority figures will be distributed more equally. As Aquarius is all about equality.
8. People with leadership roles
Aquarius people will play some sort of center-stage role for sure. While the leadership positions will take Taurus people, as Aquarius rules their 10th house. And Scorpio people too.
In general, these three signs will have the main leading roles. And again, the leadership roles will carry Scorpio-ruled qualities.
9. Equality, brotherhood, equal rights, and equal opportunities.
Instead of “love thy neighbor.” The Age of Pisce’s beliefs and morals are out of fashion.
By equal opportunities, I mean more people will have access to good education from all over the world. Not only the rich kids can afford higher studies, but University lectures will be available – for everyone without having to go to campus. Again, this has already begun as 2020 was the year of online exams and Zoom lectures. There are already thousands of recorded courses online from many universities in the world, that are free to listen to. The direction humanity is heading is much more humanistic than ever before.
Equal rights and opportunities will be introduced in the job market too. Not just the well-educated or those who have a good connection can take good jobs. Everyone who is willing to work hard will have the merit to succeed.
Imagine a world where someone from a wealthy family has the same opportunities in the job market as someone from a poor family.
10. Connecting with more people
Aquarius is an air sign, probably the most social sign of all. Even if we will spend more time at home and work from home, we will find new ways to socialize.
The 5th sign from Aquarius is Gemini, another air sign. The 5th house domains are to have fun, joys of life, children, and many other things.
As far as I can tell, we will have fun in Gemini ways, which are talking, talking and talking, sending messages, socializing with people who are within reach, etc.
Another possible scenario with socializing and communicating is using no technology for that. This might sound surprising. But think about the modern co-ruling planet of Aquarius, which is Uranus. Its symbol is an antenna… What if we will be able to download messages from above, or communicate with thoughts, with telepathy without smartphones?
11. Other significant shifts
Aquarius’s main domain is the economy and stock market. I believe that the economy will be restructured in no time, and there will be new rules and regulations for the stock market.
Amongst the body organs, Aquarius rules the brain. Therefore, this time must be the age of smart people and the age of being open-minded, like Aquarius people in general.
On a side note, Aquarius is the opposite sign of Leo- and Leo is associated with celebrities. Most probably the celebrity culture will end, or we will celebrate smart people instead, well-educated people and not entertainers. As Gemini rules the 5th sign from Aquarius- the 5th sign is Leo analog, therefore the 5th sign is associated with people in the spotlight, celebrities, etc.- and Gemini rules learning, education, and being clever. This is another indication of having clever well-read and educated people in the spotlight.
Aquarius rules quantum physics, energy, and energy waves too. I’m totally concerned that we will believe that raising our vibrational frequency will be the solution for most of our problems. And instead of chanting prayers from the prayer books, we will do all sorts of activities to raise our energetic vibration.
Aquarius is associated with all sorts of science, including astrology. To my mind, there will be many scientific breakthroughs that will change our lives in no time, and astrology will be more popular than ever.
Final Thoughts
Probably the most exciting decades ever are around the corner. To my mind, the best way to be well prepared is to always keep up with technology and educate yourself about the newest trends.
