Between 4400 and 2200 BCE, they began and ended in a remarkable parallelism or synchronicity with the Taurus Age Movement. This esoteric knowledge of the earth travelling through the skies on a 26,000-year cycle was recognized in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, where written records exist.

What is the zodiac sign of 2020?
The Age of Aquarius, a new astrological era, has begun, and this is how it is affecting our life. The Aquarian Age has officially begun. For many, there was a noticeable shift in energy from 2020 to 2021, albeit both years were a roller coaster.
What causes the ages to reverse?
Those who study mundane astrology can attest to the fact that history does repeat itself. My extensive research over the past three decades has shown astonishingly detailed parallels between the history of human progress on our planet and the astrological ages. I discovered an intriguing concept of history from anastrological standpoint by investigating the smaller ‘cycleswithin cycles’ included in each2160-year era. This post is based on the conclusions of my in-depth investigation, which are contained in my book, Signs of the Times: The End of the World and the Coming Golden Age. It indicates that history backs up astrology’s accuracy. This model also provides insight into our existing circumstances as well as prospects for the near and long term.
The astrological ages are based on the precession of the equinoxes and the rearward wobbling of the planet’s axis as seen through the constellations, which are arranged in a circle around the world along the ecliptic, or equator belt. The wobbling of the earth’s axis as the North Pole points down towards and marks each age or constellation in succession is used to calculate ages. This wobble takes 25,920 years to complete, and there are twelve ages of 2,160 years each in one entire cycle. We are currently in the’Age of Pisces,’ with that marker pointing to the constellation Pisces. As the earth’s axis wobbles in a precessional or backward manner through the zodiac, these ages flow backward through the astrological signs. In addition to this progression through the signs, history shows that the signs opposite the principal signs have a significant impact on each age’s history.
Within each age, there are additional shorter cycles. Within each 2160-year age, there is a cycle of twelve smaller periods, which I refer to as’eras,’ each of which contains 180 years. Within each era, there is a cycle of twelve periods, which I refer to as ‘phases,’ each lasting 15 years. Eras and phases denote minor evolutionary cycles inside the broader cycle, yet they travel in a forward manner through the zodiac for some reason. Within the same astrological system, time appears to flow both forward and backward. These shorter durations allow for more precise dating of the astrological ages, indicating that the Western Gregorian calendar is in fact linked with these times. The year 0 BC is an accurate start to the Age of Pisces, because the symbolism of the eras and phases corresponds to the timing of historical events.
My extensive research of historical events since the Age of Cancer uncovered a pattern. Each age is preceded by a build-up stage, sometimes known as the birthing process. During the Scorpio Era, approximately 900 to 720 years before the end of the age, a change occurs that brings to the fore historical processes that take humanity into the next age.
There is a cycle of death and rebirth in the Scorpio Era of any age.
Scorpio is the astrological sign that governs power, domination, death, and rebirth. The majority of the power inherent in that era’s institutions and ideas dies, and seeds are planted that lead to new discoveries and perspectives in the subsequent age. The sign Sagittarius blooms into a dynamically emergingnew perspective after the Scorpio Era. Sagittarius is a fire sign, and it represents the dazzling brilliance of cultural golden periods in contemporary times. Sagittarius oversees vision and adventure, therefore these are Renaissance times. It’sees’ the next age’s impulse and brings it to life in a cultural rebirth.
Let’s take a look back at the last 11,000 years of history. The Age of Cancer is the first age in this study, and it begins with a historical bang.
Ageof Cancer: 8640 to 6480 BC
Food, agriculture, animal domestication, house construction, stable societies, and the mother are all ruled by Cancer.
The Neolithic Revolution lasted from 9000 to 6000 BC. It marked the beginning of agriculture in numerous parts of the world, from Southeast Asia to Central America to Peru. Adzes and other agricultural tools superseded the older Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunting tools. The first year-round populated towns with permanent housing were built during this period, which was especially visible in the dry environment of the Near East. Older Palaeolithichunters were always on the move, following game animal herds. Settling down in permanentcommunities was a sign of man’s domestication, and it happened at the height of goddess worship and matriarchal civilization.
Ageof Gemini: 6480 to 4320 BC
Food, agriculture, animal husbandry, house construction, stable communities, and the mother are all ruled by Cancer.
The Neolithic Revolution took place between 9000 and 6000 BC. It ushered in the advent of agriculture in a number of locations around the world, including Southeast Asia, Central America, and Peru. The older Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunting implements were replaced by agricultural tools like adzes. The construction of the first year-round populated towns with permanent housing occurred during this period, which was particularly visible in the dry environment of the Near East. Older Palaeolithichunters were always on the move, following game animal herds. Settling down in permanentcommunities marked the domestication of man himself, and it happened at a time when goddess worship and matriarchal culture were at their peak.
Ageof Taurus: 4320 to 2160 BC
Taurus is the sign of riches, banking, comfort, refinement, permanency, and colossal construction.
After 4500 BC, the U’Baid civilisation moved to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers’ resource-depleted driver basin. They created money and banking, as well as towns to serve as market centers, and got extremely wealthy in the process. Gemini’s scientific ingenuity completely ceased, both here and in Egypt. The most important indication of social progress was now modest gains in wealth and refinement. During this period, wealth and money were the archaeological markers for expansion.
Increases in affluence facilitated urbanization and increased social complexity. The Sumerian city-states are said to have founded civilisation around 3200 BC. Around 2900 BC, the Old Kingdom of Egypt became the first nation-state in history. Some archaeologists believe that civilisation began around 4000 BC, based on the growing social complexity of early sites.
Surprisingly, written language emerged as Taurus consolidated the olderGemini speaking language into a permanent record. Writing was initially employed to record the trade of goods and riches in religion and business. The bull god Taurus became their major deity, and religion became increasingly organized and centred upon him. Religion was inextricably linked to the acquisition of wealth. Lists of merchandise and real estate transactions were the earliest examples of pictographic writing. In Egypt, the pharaoh was in charge of the temple warehouses, where all of Egypt’s riches was collected and distributed. The En, Mesopotamia’s spiritual leaders, are going through the same thing.
Beginning as early as 4000 BC, megalithic tomb monuments were created all over Europe. U’Baid and Sumerian temples were built on top of previous temples, finally resulting in the creation of ziggurats (about 2900 BC). Egypt began building massive stone pyramids during the Old Kingdom period. Recent archaeological finds in Peru, spanning from 3000 to 2600 BC, depict a civilization with massive monolithic pyramids comparable to those found in the Old World.
Cities were built on a permanent hieratic pattern, with the main religious temple in the center and walls facing the four cardinal directions.
Building in this manner and incorporating a tight social hierarchy that established a person’s place in society was thought to be akin to the eternal structure of heaven, thereby ensuring permanence on Earth. Cities were transformed into massive monumental communities through this approach.
In this period, the contrary force of Scorpio was also visible. This generation’s religions are all heavily focused on death and rebirth in the afterlife. Both Mesopotamia and Egypt’s burial customs reflect an overabundance of concern for the afterlife. To completely enjoy their life beyond death, rulers were buried in large tombs with all of their amassed goods, including slaves and retainers. At the same time, ArchaicCulture in the Americas places a comparable emphasis on this sort of burial.
Ageof Aries: 2160 to 0 BC
Warfare, conquering hurdles, competition, fury, violence, and independence are all ruled by Aries.
With this new age, the general peace witnessed in the Age of Taurus gave way to massive violence. Around 2300 BC, Sargon of Akkad founded the first military empire. They were thereafter conquered by the Gutians. Around 2000 BC, the Hurrians defeated the Sumerians, around 1900 BC, the Old Babylonians ruled Mesopotamia, and around 1600 BC, the Hittites invaded Mesopotamia. The Hittites developed iron weapons, ushering in the Iron Age. Despite the fact that they were significantly superior to bronze weaponry, this revelation came too late to save them from defeat. Around 1800 BC, the Hyksos conquered Egypt, and the list continues through the Assyrians and Greeks until Alexander the Great’s worldempire, and later the beginnings of the Roman Empire.
The militaristic Shang dynasty rose to prominence in China around 1850BC by conquering the peaceful Lung Shan people, establishing China’s first military dynasty. They could field up to 30,000 warriors at any given time at their peak. Later, in 1122BC, the Chou dynasty, another militaristic tribe, destroyed the Shang and established an even bigger military culture, which lasted until the Warring States Period, which lasted from 480 to 221BC. The Olmecs of Mexico, around 1200 BC, appear to have been an amilitaristic civilisation in the New World. Helmets are always worn by the monolithic Olmecheads everywhere, whether for battle or sports. Images of conflict and fighting cover the walls of temples in a city recently unearthed in Peru’s Casmas valley dating from around 1500 BC.
Hero mythology has replaced religion and creation myths.
In a heavenly struggle for independence, the Babylonian warrior deity Marduk overcame the older mother goddess Tiamat. Masculine gods battled established feminine goddesses all over the world and won their freedom. The idea of a single warrior winning his way to fame is central to hero stories. Beginning around 2000 BC, a patriarchal movement (called mythic solarisation by mythologists) occurred all over the world, globally indicating the transition from matriarchy to topatriarchy. The masculine sign of Aries battled the elder feminine essence of Taurus. The Greek Olympus religion was the pinnacle of warrior/hero cults, with all of the gods and goddesses fighting and squabbling amongst themselves while selecting sides in human fights. Warriors were also depicted in the Hebrew Old Testament. God is depicted as the commander-in-chief of his chosen people/army, leading them to the Promised Land. He is quick to wrath and chastise when his power is challenged, despite being a god of love (possibly from the previous Age of Taurus). The Hebrew god, like the Greek gods, appears to be in perpetual conflict with the gods of other people, who are collectively referred to be pagan.
Ageof Pisces: 0 to 2160
Religion and spirituality, transcendence, prophecies and prophets, narcotics, delusion, confinement, and terror are all associated with Pisces.
This has been a time of great world faiths, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. After the Prophetic Revolution in the eighth and seventh century BC, Judaism became a world religion. Hinduism shifted its focus from minor gods like Agni and Indra to the transcendent gods Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. The preceding age’s warrior-hero ideal evolved into the transcendent ideals of the saint, guru, and sage. The goal was to reach enlightenment, ascend to heaven, escape the prison of the wheel of life, and fight Satan. The focus of Christianity and Judaism was on prophecy and the arrival of the Messiah (inChristianity it is the second coming). As their God, Christianity claims the ultimate prophet: Christ, the Son of God. Muslims believe Muhammad is the final prophet. In the East, the goal was enlightenment and the destruction of Maya, or the Pisces illusion, as well as escape from the Wheel of Life’s incarceration.
These religions became the first multi-national organizations in the world, extending their message far beyond local, national, and cultural barriers. Early European governments became theocracies, or religious governments, and politics in this period was primarily concerned with Christian issues. Islam was founded as a religious government with the underlying purpose of expanding by conquest. The human heart
Themessage of prophecy has been a part of these religions, particularly Christianity. This message of doom and gloom is appropriate for the Age of Pisces, the zodiac’s final sign. On the Wheel of Life, there is a spiritual conflict between God and Satan, Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, or between enlightenment and escape from rebirth and the darkness of incarceration. At the conclusion of this cosmic conflict, a new cycle will usher in the golden age promise of the sign of Aquarius.
The nature of the approaching Age of Aquarius, which emphasizes the attributes of genius, science, knowledge, humanitarianism, brotherhood, and boundless possibilities, is hinted at by our own Renaissance tilt toward humanism and science. We are on the verge of entering an incredible new world. Understanding renaissances leads to a quick review of the eras inside each age.
