Saturday 7th March
For over two millennia humanity has been living within the broad cosmic influence of Pisces, shaped by the slow movement known as the precession of the equinox. This great cycle, lasting around 25,920 years, gradually shifts the point of the spring equinox backwards through the constellations, marking vast cultural epochs rather than ordinary seasons. At present, the vernal equinox still rises against the backdrop of Pisces, though it is nearing the boundary with Aquarius. The Age of Aquarius is often estimated to begin around 2160, when the equinox point will have fully moved into that constellation, yet until then we remain in the closing phase of Pisces, living through a time of transition rather than arrival.
