2012: The world will not end but a new age is dawning...
For many a year now, I have studied astrology, ages and their astrological associations, renaissances, and religious epochs...

First renaissances,

Renaissances happen every sixty years and have happened rather frequently in recent years...

1480's - The Italian Renaissance
1540's - The Age of Exploration
1600's - The English Renaissance
1660's - The Scientific Revolution
1720's - The Age of Enlightenment
1780's - The American Revolution
1840's - Transcendentalist Movement
1900's - Fin de Siecle (End of Cycle)
1960's - The Psychedelic Sixties
2020's - The Awakening <---The next decade...
2080's - The Diaspora

Now on to the ages and their zodiacs...

-Leo: 10,990-8,823 BC - Old Stone Age/Ice Age
-Cancer: 8,823-6,656 BC - New Stone Age (Farming)
-Gemini: 6,656-4,489 BC - Copper Age (City Building)
-Taurus: 4,489-2,322 BC - Bronze Age/Golden Age (Cattle)
-Aries: 2,322-155 BC - Iron Age/Age of Heroes (Classical)
-Pisces: 155 BC-2012 AD - Roman/Christian Era (Dark Ages 450-1450)
-Aquarius: 2012-4179 AD - Space Age: Galactic Diaspora

A new age is dawning...

While I do not believe the doom and gloom stories about the end of the earth on December 21st, 2012...one things is certain...A new age is coming. I find it curious that the Mayan and Chinese calendars end in 2012. The Mayan calendar in particular completes its 13 Bak'tun cycles and the age we live in now will end. In 2012 we will enter the Age of Aquarius. Now, the hippies of the 1960's believed that they were living in that age. With the Age of Aquarius about to begin and a coming global "Awakening" or renaissance in the 2020's I'm beginning to wonder...could this transition into a new age spark a new way of life similar to what happened with the hippies? Or pehaps a time of flourishing similar to Renaissance Europe. Will we see an explosion of music, arts, culture, and technological innovation? Time will tell but for now be prepared...

The Age of Aquarius is coming...
