The Age of Aquarius (The Aquarian age)

Astrological age. There are two broad approaches about the effects upon the world due to the astrological ages.

Astrological age

Some astrologers believe the changes upon Earth are caused and marked by the influences of the given astrological sign, associated with the Age, while other astrologers do not follow the causative model and believe it is a matter of synchronicity.[3] Many astrologers believe that the Age of Aquarius has arrived recently or will arrive in the near future. On the other hand, some believe that the Age of Aquarius arrived up to five centuries ago, or will not start until six centuries from now.[4] Despite all references provided by various sources, astrologers cannot agree upon exact dates for the beginning or ending of the ages. Various ages are described below, such as the Age of Aquarius.

Great Year

It is defined by NASA as "The period of one complete cycle of the equinoxes around the ecliptic, about 25,800 years […] also known as [a] Platonic Year. "[1] One complete cycle of the equinoxes here means one complete cycle of axial precession; this precession was known to Plato, who defined the "perfect year" as the return of the celestial bodies (planets) and the diurnal rotation of the fixed stars (circle of the Same) to their original positions. Cicero followed Plato in defining the Great Year as a combination of solar, lunar and planetary cycles [2] (61 XX) Nicholas Campion writes of "periods of History, analogous to the solar year, known as 'Great Years' " [3]
