The Procession of the Equinoxes

 

Leo’s keyword “I will” and the Aquarian keyword “I know” 

The Ages are a result of the astronomical phenomenon called the “procession of the equinoxes.” This procession is a backwards motion of the vernal equinox point. This vernal equinox point has moved back through the constellation of Pisces and is now in preparation for its backwards entrance into the constellation of Aquarius.

The Great Year has a cycle of about 25,868 years, during which time all the signs of the Zodiac take turns influencing the Earth and its inhabitants. The time the Earth spends under the influence of each sign is called a “Great Month.” The Earth moves through each sign slowly (about every 2,000 years) creating the opportunity for its influences to affect large numbers of people and geological occurrences.

This whole process is due to something called the “Procession of the Equinoxes. Due to a slight wobble in the Earth’s rotation, the constellation that the Earth appears to be passing in front of at the vernal equinox (around March 21), gradually changes, moving backward through the zodiac. That is why we are now in the age of Pisces, going into the age of Aquarius.

We are at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. So, the outer influence of this Age has to do with Aquarian principles. These principles include: freedom, brotherhood, humanity and revolution.

Leo’s keyword “I will” and the Aquarian keyword “I know” have catapulted us into the age of “The will to know.” influences to affect large numbers of people and geological occurrences.
