Sandy Hughes Writes . . . .

.....As we stand now on the sky-bridge between the familiar and the unknown, born of the winds of the Equinoxial Precession, the 28,500 year journey of the planet earth through the twelve signs of the zodiac, we can look back at the Piscean Age and see it as a manifestation of the consciousness of its time. As the Taurean Age became the Arian Age, some 4300 years ago, it marked the end of a matriarchal society that was attuned to the forces of nature. The Taurean Age denotes a time when man and Mother Nature operated in harmony and mutual supportiveness, and it is a state we still remember at the deep levels where genetic memory is stored. and continue to pine for.
.....As the Arian Age took hold, there was a dramatic shift from a benign matriarchal social focus to a masculine warrior consciousness. As the Earth Mother became God, the Father, violence, warfare, dominmance and control took over. Even the pious ‘fishers of men’

who ushered in the Piscean Age, 2160 years ago, seeking to bring love, compassion and surrender to a violently ravaged world were appropriated by the corrupt forces of Christianity to have their message subverted to little more than guilt-rendering judgements and patriarchal dogma. It is easy to see the elements that represented the male dominated Piscean Age.
.....Aquarius is depicted as the Water Bearer and, for that reason, is often thought to be a water sign. The sign of Aquarius is, however, an air sign and any waves emanating from it are not the watery kind but of an almost electrical energy. Indeed, its waves are the frequencies of consciousness, the ‘electrical’ vibrations that constitute the ebbs and flows of evolutionary thought. As the new age heralds an approach to life that is less gender orientated we can see many around us picking up on the higher vibrations of the Aquarian Age.
.....And where are these vibrations of a finer frequency coming from? Why us, dear reader. The Age of Aquarius is about us, you and me, all of us, collectively and individually. As we leave behind the Piscean Age with its divide and conquer strategies and itssaint/sinner mentality, the new age presages an individual and collective assumption of personal power, a movement into our own uniqueness within which we can find or create our rightful places in the Grand Scheme. As society resonates to a collective hum of a finer frequency, it naturally produces a raising of consciousness and an increasing rate of evolution for us all. Aquarius, a sign that celebrates our differences, has already sounded its clarion cosmic call inviting all those without prejudice to participate in a gathering that can take the world forward into the New Age.
