Dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Friday, February 13, 2009 at 3:25PM 
Forty years ago, in a song called Aquarius, these words brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:
When the Moon is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars
This year, at dawn on February 14th, Valentines day, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of relationships, and Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the twelfth house of spiritual transformation.
In basic Astrological terms, the Sun represents your will and purpose, your sense of vitality, and your evolving higher Self. The Sun in Aquarius represents a forward thinking, logical, and confident energy; aligning with a higher purpose for the advancement of social and humanitarian ideals. Sun in the Twelfth House represents a concentration of the vital forces. Where the sun shines brings light and awareness.
The Moon in Libra in the Seventh House represents a courteous and sweet nature and an emotional sensitivity in the area of interpersonal relationships, being more aware of how others are feeling. Libra is constantly striving for balance between opposing points of view.
Mars in Aquarius is freedom loving and socially oriented and with Mars in the 12th house, it is more sensitive and transformational; being more held back from its usual action or aggression.
Jupiter in Aquarius lends to social consciousness and strong humanitarian ideals. This is a very good placement for motivation, the betterment of society, and security. Jupiter in the 12th house is friendly, easy-going, and considerate of others.
The strong conjunction between Mars and Jupiter suggests expansive, abundant energy and good luck. There is a more optimistic nature and a feeling of ‘Yes I can do’ self image, tempered with a healthy sense of limitation.
The Lunar North Node is in Aquarius and in the 12th house it gives a focus on spiritual concerns, expanding horizons mentally and spiritually to a higher plane of activity.
As a collective consciousness we can envision possibilities far larger than our immediate world, so that the betterment of all society becomes our focus.
I have always felt ‘Aquarius’ was an important song when it first came out 40 years ago. To this day it uplifts me and gives me ‘goose bumps’. It doesn’t surprise me we have a new president with a humanitarian focus through peace and understanding at the dawning of this new age.
