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…

Is it currently 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 is your astrological age right now?
Astrologers agree that astrological ages last about 2000 years, and we’ve been in the age of Pisces for the past two millennia.
When did the Age of Aquarius begin?
Astronomy has nothing to do with the Age of Aquarius. It’s an astrological age that happens due to precession, a natural motion of the Earth. The identify of the Pole Star changes throughout time due to precession. The precession cycle lasts 25,800 years. There are also 12 zodiac constellations. So, during the vernal equinox, the sun’s position in front of the background stars moves in front of a new zodiacal constellation every 2,150 years. At that point, a new era might be considered to have begun.
The vernal equinox point, also known as the March or spring equinox point, is the position of the sun in the sky at the vernal equinox. When the vernal equinox point moves from in front of the constellation Pisces to in front of the constellation Aquarius, the Age of Aquarius is said to begin.
When that happens, there should be a definitive answer. At the time of the equinox, when will the sun be in front of Aquarius? When will the Aquarius Age begin?
However, there are no easy answers. Various interpretations yield various responses to this frequently posed question.
Age of Aquarius in astronomy
Let’s look at the answer from an astronomical standpoint. The International Astronomical Union (or IAU) took on the task of officially naming and defining all things astronomical in the twentieth century. In 1930, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) established “official” constellation borders. As a result, astronomers tend to use IAU constellation borders to date the start of the Age of Aquarius. Astrologers and New Age practitioners, on the other hand, may or may not employ the same limits.
Jean Meeus, a renowned Belgian astronomer and mathematical wizard, is one of the IAU’s adherents. In 68 B.C., the sun went from being in front of the constellation Aries to being in front of the constellation Pisces, according to his calculations. Looking ahead, the March equinox will pass into the constellation Aquarius in 2597, according to Meeus.
These are the astronomical dates, which are based on the IAU constellation limits, which were established in 1930.
The IAU defines constellations as having varying sizes. Astrologers, on the other hand, frequently divide the zodiac into 12 equal sectors. So that’s one major distinction between astronomers and astrologers when it comes to constellations.
You must also examine when the Age of Pisces began in order to determine when the Age of Aquarius begins. There appears to be no solid agreement among astrologers as to when the Age of Pisces began. As a result, no one knows when the Age of Aquarius begins. Nicholas Campion suggests that the estimated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius span from 1447 to 3597 A.D. in his book The Book of World Horoscopes. Campion also looked at astrological sources for published material on the issue. He asserts that most authors believe the Age of Aquarius began in the twentieth century (29 claims). The twenty-fourth century comes in second (12 claims). Campion is also the director of the Sophia Centre and the Course Director for the M.A. in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology at the University of Wales, Lampeter. Here are Campion’s credentials.
Did it begin in 2012?
According to some astrologers, the Age of Aquarius began in 2012. This is because they believe the star Regulus in the constellation Leo the Lion marks the ancient boundary between Leo and Cancer constellations. Regulus transitioned from the sign of Leo to the sign of Virgo in 2012, when it moved within 30 degrees of the September equinox point. The border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius is 150 degrees west of Regulus, or near the March equinox point, assuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity. According to this calendar, the Age of Aquarius began in 2012.
As you can see, many people have a clear grasp on how to compute the start of an age. However, there is no agreement among the numerous people who are performing the calculations. See what various authors have claimed in these Wikipedia lists.
To be clear, we at EarthSky approach the topic from an astronomical standpoint. Please show us more ways to determine the Age of Aquarius if any expert astrologers are available! We welcome your feedback.
By the way, Terry MacKinnell reacted to our request for comments by asserting that in ancient Babylon, a new zodiacal constellation appearing over the eastern horizon before sunrise on the morning of the Northern Hemisphere spring equinox signaled the beginning of a new era.

>Definition of terms: Vernal equinox point
The vernal equinox, often known as the March or spring equinox, is a point on the imaginary celestial sphere that surrounds Earth. The celestial equator, or line around the sky just above Earth’s equator, intersects the ecliptic, or path of the sun across our sky. Because the sun used to be in front of the constellation Aries at the time of the vernal equinox, it’s also known as the First Point in Aries. The sun has been in front of the constellation Pisces at the time of the equinox for the past 2,000 years. The Piscean Age is significant in this regard. The sun will pass through Aquarius at some time during the equinox. The Age of Aquarius begins on that date.
How did the Age of Aquarius enter popular culture?
In the United States, the Age of Aquarius is linked with hippies in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the New Age movement. The arrival of the Aquarian age has been connected with… well, harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust aplenty in both situations. That brings us to the smash-hit musical from 1967 “The 5th Dimension’s Aquarius serves as the opening song for the film Hair. The first lines of the song were:
It’s difficult to put into words how “Hair, which still appears daring now, had an impact on audiences when it premiered on Broadway in 1968. It went on to have 1,750 Broadway performances and 1,997 London performances, with parallel productions in locations around the United States and Europe, as well as recordings (the original Broadway cast recording sold three million copies). This Broadway musical almost single-handedly launched the Aquarian Age notion into mainstream culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Although the video below isn’t the original, it will give you an idea.
Bottom line: The Age of Aquarius begins when the March equinox point shifts from Pisces to Aquarius.
But there’s no way of knowing when it will happen.
Is the year 2021 favorable for Aquarius?
Aquarians can look forward to personal progress this year. They will finally have the energy, physical power, and mental strength in 2021 to make new, better choices for themselves and their future.
What is the Biblical Age of Aquarius?
- Elihu, who ran a school of the prophets in Zoan, Egypt, predicted the revelation of The Aquarian Gospel 2,000 years ago. As he put it:
- The Bible is missing 18 years of Jesus’ life (from ages 12 to 30). The Aquarian Gospel recounts these 18 years as a time when Jesus goes to the centers of wisdom in western India, Tibet, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and Egypt, as Nicolas Notovitch documented before in his The Unknown Life Of Jesus Christ: By The Discoverer Of The Manuscript (1887). He is educated, tested, and trains religious leaders in each of these capital cities. In these places, Jesus eventually demonstrates that he is “God’s chosen one” (the Christ) and brings this multi-cultural understanding and confidence back to Galilee and Judea.
- Jesus takes on the role of The Christ, yet he is not by nature The Christ. Jesus enabled The Christ to dwell within him by making himself a proper vessel by desire, effort, ability, and prayer. As a result, Christ is used to refer to the seemingly ideal human being exemplified by Jesus, a human being who has been “Christened” (anointed) and therefore become holy.
- Through his lifestyle and teachings, Jesus came to Earth to show the way back to God. If we want to find salvation, we must model our lives like his.
- There is reincarnation, and karma (“you receive what you sow”) explains different injustices. People can pay off debts from previous lifetimes through reincarnation.
- Humanity has forgotten God and is currently struggling to properly remember Him again.
- Ages are used to divide time. These periods last about 2,000 years. The Aquarian Age is rapidly approaching its beginning.
- All souls, like Jesus the Christ, will eventually develop and evolve toward perfection.
What is the Aquarius Age in 2022?
Set your reminders: From January 19 through February 18, Aquarius season 2022 begins. Jupiter will be in Pisces during this time, while Venus and Mercury’s retrograde periods will end. This all happens just days before Pluto’s return to the United States in 2022, one of the most anticipated astrological events of the year.
In 2021, what will happen to Aquarius?
Aquarius is a forward-thinking, imaginative sign that is all about producing things for the greater good.
They are the zodiac’s scientists, engineers, and educators. Aquarians will sense a burst of creative energy and positive enthusiasm to bring their philanthropic dreams to reality with Jupiter and Saturn in their sign for the most of 2021.
You must be open and attentive in order to notice this inspiration as it occurs.
Mentally, this entails using techniques like meditation and breathwork to keep the brain sharp while remaining tranquil. Eating nutritious, whole-food meals has never been more vital in terms of health. (Is this the year you decide to try the Mediterranean diet?)
The Twins also suggest using “apps to track meals and sleep, especially near the eclipses on May 26, November 19, and December 4,” as well as monitoring caffeine and alcohol use.
They say, “You might feel quite energetic.” “While you’re in beast form, be gentle with your joints. To avoid injury, make sure you warm up and stretch properly. Swap in yoga or other low-impact workouts if you’re a runner or weightlifter. Saturn oversees the skin, bones, and teeth, therefore these body parts may need special attention.”
While this will be a very self-contained year for Water Bearers (you’ll be too busy toiling away at your huge goal, after all), you might find love and friendship.
“Under the Gemini solar (new moon) eclipse, you may unite with a soulmate, propose to the LOYL, or leap toward another milestone like creating babies or buying land together to develop into a retreat center,” Ophira and Tali write, noting that June 10 will be a fantastic day for relationships.
How is Aquarius doing this year?
=> Harmony and peace may be your watchwords this year. This year, you will be able to advance your career thanks to the principles of harmony. This year could be a good year for women. This is also the year for more advanced academic study.
