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. In addition to navigating the Covid era, we’re said to have entered a new astrological time.
What makes it unique? That’s where things get a bit tricky, but we’ve sought the expertise of psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman to help us figure it out. However, keep in mind that the Age of Aquarius is frequently linked to social action, equality, and advancement. Finally. Everything you need to know is right here…

Are we in the Aquarius season?
Season 2022 of Aquarius begins on January 19 and ends on February 18. Aquarius is the star sign of cooperation and technology, thus Aquarius season 2022 is a great time to come together for a similar cause, both online and in person.
What is now in Aquarius?
Do you have a strange feeling about things right now? You might blame the current stellium in Aquarius for your troubles.
What is a stellium, exactly? A stellium occurs when three or more celestial bodies occupy the same place in the sky beneath one sign in astrology. This energy is motivating us to accept ourselves in new ways because Venus, Mars, and Saturn are all in Aquarius right now. This stellium started on March 6, when Venus and Mars entered Aquarius, and will end on April 5, when Venus left Aquarius and enters Pisces. Vesta, an asteroid, is currently in Aquarius, bringing us even more Aquarius energy. This is the greatest planetary activity we’ll witness all year in Aquarius!
Is it really the Age of Aquarius?
The precise commencement date of this new age is debatable. Some astrologers believe it will begin on the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere on March 20, 2021, while others, like as Kelly, believe it will begin in December 2020. “She explains, “It’s more intellectual than you might assume.” “There is no clear agreement on when it will begin. What we do know is that this is a period associated with hope and creativity in general. When it last happened in the 19th century, it was a time of technological, industrial, and government revolutions. All of these characteristics are Aquarian.”
What age are we approaching?
The Age of Aquarius, which was popularized by the 1967 rock musical Hair, is a 2,160-year period marked by the passing of the vernal equinox through the air sign Aquarius. Although opinions differ on the exact timing of this change, it is undeniable that we are currently in the Pisces-Aquarius period. The features of the sign crossing the vernal equinox dominate earth’s collective energy, symbolizing the beginning of a new era. This shift towards the Age of Aquarius will have an impact on everything from how we create and connect with art to how we buy and sell it.
When does Aquarius season begin?
If you were born in January or February, you are most certainly a rebellious Aquarius. During Aquarius season, you don’t have to be a water bearer to benefit from everything the air sign has to offer. Aquarius season runs from January 20 to February 18, and the sign’s fresh ideas and enthusiasm for individuality make it a particularly inspiring time. Aquarius season is a time to embrace your inner humanitarian and propel society ahead, as the independent fixed sign is all about individualism, technology, and the right to be your eccentric self.
The eleventh house, which is related with friendship, society, and community, rules Aquarius, making it a symbol of humanitarianism and companionship. They are exceptional leaders, visionaries, and advocates for the underdogs because of their desire to collaborate with others and passion for the well-being of society.
The Aquarius season is a time to celebrate your uniqueness and to give back to your community. Aquarius is a sign that enjoys the unusual. Expect an interesting, thrilling, startling, and unconventional vibe, says Monahan. Continue reading to learn more about the Aquarius season.
When was the latest Aquarius Age?
While the “Aquarius Season” lasts 30 days, the Aquarius Age is claimed to last 2,160 years. So, what is Aquarius Season, and how does it differ from the age? Let’s go back and look at the background of everyone’s favorite water-bearer in both modern astrology and its roots in ancient astronomy before we come to any conclusions.
Aquarian Roots
Aquarius is a Latin term that means “water-carrier, water-pourer.” Its astrological symbol is water, but it appears to be an electrical shock. Aquarius connects us to forces of originality, eccentricity, independence, extreme expression, and epiphanies of all kinds, and rightly so. It encourages us to think about the future and what is possible. It catalyzes creativity, new discoveries, or exhilarating novelty when sparked. Technology advances are sparked by activated Aquarius energy in our culture, which is arguably what brought us the Internet. However, Aquarius energy pushes us to think about social justice as a component of the collective and communal experience.
Aquarius, like all planets and zodiac signs, isn’t all excitement and forward-thinking momentum. It can be distant, non-committal, impetuous, alienated, or restless in Aquarius. Aquarius energy enjoys getting things started but not necessarily finishing them. Keep an eye out for the famed Aquarian “Last Unicorn Syndrome,” in which it believes it is the first and only person to think of an idea.
Aquarius is the archetypal misfit, lone wolf, or mad scientist. It’s a rebel with a cause, and occasionally one without. Aquarius was ruled or regulated by Saturn in traditional astrology, while many modern astrologers now identify it with Uranus because Uranus had not yet been found. Saturn is known as the “night ruler,” whereas Uranus is known as the “day ruler.”
While we all have Aquarius or Uranus in our natal astrology charts, its influence on our lives or self-expression is determined by our unique natal astrology chart. Those born under the sign of Aquarius (Sun, Moon, or Rising) may feel particularly drawn to the Aquarius Season or Age. However, having your Sun or Moon in the 11th house or touching the planet Uranus can make you identify with Aquarian characteristicsbut that’s an astrology story for another day. How does Aquarius Season or the Age of Aquarius affect us if some of us are more “Aquarian” than others? Is it simply a “New Age” word, or does it represent communal wisdom?
Historical Context: The “Age of Aquarius
While everyone of us has a unique astrological blueprint, the current position of the stars and planets in the sky adds another depth to our specific experience. We all feel the energy when the Sun is in the sign of Aquarius, just as we do when there is a new moon (like on February 4 in Aquarius). The Age of Aquarius, on the other hand, is a much larger cycle with less clarity.
Astrological ages refer to the evolution and development of civilization as a whole, rather than just an individual.
Humankind has gone through six great periods, which correspond to the 12 tropical zodiac signs, according to astrologists all across the world. Each one lasts approximately 2,100 years. Because the time frame is so wide, it’s difficult to say when each of these time frames begins or ends. Of course, large-scale cycles aren’t exclusive to Western astrology; the Mayan calendar and Sanskrit scriptures’ Kali Yuga both reference them.
When modern astrologers speak of the Age of Aquarius, they are referring to a phenomenon involving the Earth’s backward motion and its connection to the sign of Aquarius. An ancient astronomer came up with the concept of the “precession of the zodiac” around 190 B.C.E. Because of the wobble in the Earth’s rotation, the constellation behind the Sun during the Vernal Equinox, or eclipticpath of the Sun across the skychanges. (Earth, it turns out, isn’t as steady as we thought, and has a retrograde cycle.)
The qualities of each zodiac Sun sign are carried over into the Astrological Age of that time. This allows us to recognize important collective themes that have been influenced by our current “age.” According to Nicholas Campion’s research, the Age of Aquarius began around 1447 A.D.E. in the twentieth century and will last until 3597 A.D.E. Others say it began in the year 2012. Around 1999, we began to hear more about the Age of Aquarius and its connections to the Mayan Calendar.
I prefer astrologer Susan Miller’s chronology theories, which place the Age of Aries between 2000 B.C.E. and 1 A.C.E., with a lot of Greek and Roman conflict. The Age of Pisces, with its emphasis on spirituality, coincides with the birth of many of the world’s great faiths. Now we’re in the Age of Aquarius, a period marked by rapid technological advances (ahem, the Internet or robotics) or (hopefully) a shift toward communal consciousness and community.
Aquarius energies assist us in shifting and evolving structures that allow us to progress to the next stage of our evolution. Activate and enjoy your own Aquarian nature through community, action, a new creative endeavour, or even recognizing your weirdness, whether the Age of Aquarius has begun or is beginning. Perhaps try something new or finally figure out some of your smartphone’s more advanced features. It’s a time to gather together in community while embracing our particular uniqueness, no matter how you catalyze and connect to Aquarius.
