An astrological age is a period of time in astrology that corresponds to fundamental changes in the development of Earth’s inhabitants, particularly in culture, society, and politics, and there are twelve astrological ages that correlate to the twelve zodiac signs. The precession of the equinoxes causes astronomical ages, and one whole phase of this precession is called a Great Year or Platonic Year, which lasts around 25,920 years.
The age of Pisces began around the year 1 and will finish around the year 2150. Many Christian icons for Christ include the astrological symbol for Pisces, the fishes, because the narrative of Christ’s birth falls on this date. Christ is regarded an archetype of the Piscean since he has many of the temperaments and personality qualities of a Piscean. Furthermore, the twelve apostles were known as “fishers of men,” early Christians were known as “little fishes,” and “Ikhthus,” the Greek word for fish, was used as a code term for Jesus. The beginning of the era, or the “Great Month of Pisces,” is seen as the start of the Christian religion as a result of this. Saint Peter is the apostle of the Piscean zodiac sign.

What is the significance of Jesus being a Pisces?
We’ve been in the astrological sign of Pisces since February 20th, so everyone you know who is a Pisces will be celebrating (or has recently celebrated) their birthday soon!
If you’re seeking for the ideal birthday present for a Pisces in your life, naming a star after them in the Pisces constellation could be the answer.
If you’re thinking about naming a star in the Pisces constellation, here are some science and mythology facts to help you out!
Science
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, one to the north and the other to the west. A cord connects the two of them.
The fish are thought to be Aphrodite and her son Eros, the Greek goddesses Aphrodite and Eros, however we’ll get into how those two became identified with the two fish later.
Pisces is located in the Northern Hemisphere’s first quadrant and encompasses a wide V-shaped territory. Despite being a huge constellation, it is difficult to notice due to the large area it spans and the dim stars it contains. While the month of Pisces occurs in late winter/early spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is only visible in the very early phases of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
The brightest star in Pisces is Eta Piscium, also known as Alpherg or Kullat Nunu. It’s 294 light-years away from Earth and 316 times brighter than the sun.
The ‘Van Maanen’s’ Star, named after Adrian van Maanen, a Dutch astronomer who discovered it in 1917, is likewise seen in Pisces. It is the 31st closest star system and the closest solitary white dwarf to the sun, at only 14.1 light-years distant. (The practice of naming a star appears to date back many years.)
Surprisingly, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a pair of dwarf galaxies dubbed Pisces A and Pisces B within the constellation. After monitoring the two, researchers discovered some intriguing information: they travelled to a nearby group of galaxies throughout time, speeding up the pace of star creation.
What the galaxies Pisces A and Pisces B can show us about what dwarf galaxies looked like in the past.
But why is Pisces associated with two different kinds of fish? To grasp this, we must return to the ancient Greeks and a fable from the past.
Myth
Legend has it that the mythological events surrounding this constellation occurred near the Euphrates River. This suggests that the story was modified from an even older story passed down from the Babylonians to the Greeks. But let’s get back to the story.
The Olympian Gods had won the battle. Even though the Titans had been defeated, there were still people plotting their demise while the Gods sat safely.
Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus, and Gaia, enraged by the Olympians’ actions, set out to exact ultimate vengeance and finally overthrow the Olympians.
Typhon was the most terrifying creature the earth had ever seen; he was so dangerous and strong that even Gods were afraid to confront him.
Typhon came saw Aphrodite and Eros (Venus and Cupid in Roman mythology) as they were wandering along the Euphrates River.
Despite the fact that many other people died as a result of the Typhoon, the Olympians emerged victorious.
Zues set the fish among the stars to commemorate the victory, and they became the constellation of Pisces.
That’s a fascinating story. However, there’s an intriguing tale about Pieces that suggests a 2000-year-old cover-up!
Some believe that the constellation Pieces may hold the answer to Jesus Christ’s identity!
Conspiracy?
According to one idea, the Christ image may not have arisen from a Jewish Rabbi speaking in Galilee, but rather from pagan astrology.
According to one theory, Jesus was born as an avatar of the Pisces constellation, a figure who was supposed to represent the movement of the sky at the commencement of the Age of Pisces. The activities of the early Christians, who utilized the fish as a symbol of Jesus, provide evidence for this.
It’s worth noting that, while intriguing (and divisive), it’s quite unlikely that this is the case. So, why does the fish figure appear so frequently in early Christian art?
Because early Christians were persecuted, they couldn’t openly declare their faith. As a result, a fish was utilized as a symbol for Jesus. This is because ICHTUS, the Greek word for fish, stands for Iesus CHristos Theou Uios Soter, which means ‘Jesus Christ Son Of God the Saviour.’
So there’s no big conspiracy here; just a misunderstanding of symbol origins and what they mean to different communities at different eras.

What is the zodiac sign of Pisces?
In Greek mythology, Pisces is the fish. Aphrodite and Eros were traveling along the Euphrates River when Typhon approached in this story. They were afraid, but because to his immense size and power, they were unable to flee. So they appealed to Zeus for assistance, requesting that he transform them into fish so that they might flee into the river. Zeus complied by transforming them both into fish. They then dove into the river, where they were able to swim away from Typhon and to safety.
What God represents the Capricorn zodiac sign?
Capricorn is commonly shown as a goat or a sea goat, but in Greek mythology, he is the God Pan. Pan was in charge of forests and woodlands, as well as flocks and shepherds. He was a goat from the waist down, complete with goat ears and horns, and a man from the waist up. He was a horny little rascal who was constantly attempting to catch a nymph who would escape due to his appearance. He subsequently rose to the position of God of Nature, and some of his characteristics, such as sexuality and love of nature, have become ingrained in the personalities of those born under this sign.
What is the real birthdate of Jesus?
However, by the fourth century, two dates were widely accepted and now also celebrated as Jesus’ birthday: December 25 in the Western Roman Empire and January 6 in the Eastern Roman Empire (especially in Egypt and Asia Minor).
Is it true that Jesus was born in March?
According to research conducted by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jesus was born between early and mid-April, although theologian, biblical scholar, and author Ian Paul suggests September or late March.
Is Pisces the most uncommon zodiac sign?
The zodiac sign Pisces is regarded to be the rarest, having the fewest persons born under it. Maybe you’re a Pisces and people are usually astonished when they meet one, or maybe you’ve never met a Pisces before.
Is Pisces the oldest zodiac sign?
You may not always express it in your words or emotions, but you’ve seen and done a lot in a short period of time. Experiences and growth are the foundations of who you are for you, and it’s all leading up to the legacy you want to leave.
Your notion that there is much more to life than what happens on this planet makes you an old soul. When you share your wisdom, not everyone will grasp what you’re saying, but that’s the price of having a very old soul.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your soul, Pisces, is much older than that of any other zodiac sign. You’re the polar opposite of Aries, whose soul is as youthful as an infant’s, because you’re the 12th and last zodiac sign.
