Vernal Equinox

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 is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!

From the musical “Hair” “Aquarius” was written by Gerome Ragni; James Rado; Galt Mac Dermot.

So we are mid-birthdays – Vincenzo & I are almost twins- born in the same astrological sign, in the same year and four days apart – the two fish keep swimming in their eternal circle. Gerome Ragni, who I called Gerry, was a regular of mine back in 1982 when I used to bartend with my ex Joe Fontana at a short-lived Greenwich Village bar called Village Stix. Gerry used to come in with Rollerena and this bodybuilder friend who was the model for the Bulldog Gym posters (I forget his name). Gerry was a real character and already showing early signs of AIDS-related dementia. We would take long walks through Washington Square Park and he would tell me the same stories of when he was a younger man, writing one of the most seminal musicals in modern rock opera history. I listened to them as if I were hearing them for the first time. I was thrilled to be in his company.

It’s equinox time. The 2014 March equinox comes on Thursday, March 20 – at precisely 16:57 Universal Time. That’s the standard time in Greenwich, England, and it marks a single time for this equinox as noted from a whole-Earth perspective – when the sun stands directly overhead as seen from Earth’s equator. – Equinox 2014 comes before midday March 20 for most of U.S.

Pisces the Fishes is sometimes called the first constellation of the Zodiac because the sun appears in front of this constellation at the time of the March equinox. One tropical year is usually defined as the period of time between successive March equinoxes. So – in this sense – the March equinox marks the beginning of a new year. And that is why Pisces – backdrop to the sun on the March equinox – often appears as marking the starting point of the Zodiac.

In our time, the sun’s annual passage in front of the constellation Pisces is from about March 12 to April 19. Then the sun passes in front of the constellation Aries from about April 19 to May 14. – EarthSky

The Age of Pisces is over. Pisces values are being wiped out causing unprecedented change and upheaval in our lifetime. And, we’re not done yet. The Piscean values of money, power and control are being replaced. They do not resonate with the values of the new great cycle, the Age of Aquarius. Those values are love, brotherhood, unity and integrity….

….It’s taken science a long time to verify what ancient people have known for thousands of years. Ancient people such as the Hindus, Egyptians, Maya and Hopis, revered the higher powers and made understanding their existence their daily focus. They accepted the unknown and respected the divine. In fact trying to understand the cosmos and how they affected them was their lives. Our ancient relatives understood the effects of cosmic alignments on the earth.

Modern scientists run everything through the senses and the scientific method. If it doesn’t pass the tests it isn’t real. But…that’s changing. Quantum Physics doesn’t follow the rules, because energy changes depending on who’s doing the experiment and what they were thinking about at the time.

Science has also verified what the Maya have been saying all along on their buildings and stelae about the coming alignments. When the Mayan Great Cycle, which coincides with the Age of Aquarius, changed on or around December 21, 2012, a world age shift to be a rise in spiritual consciousness should start to take hold.

Computers, satellites, and remote sensing equipment, enable scientists today to see the effects of past world ages and the changes they’ve brought to humanity. So, it doesn’t surprise them that we are going through the upheavals we are today. In fact they have verified that the Maya were dead on right about the alignment that came in 2012. – Spiritual Growth Prophecies
