The Global Village Enters the Age of Aquarius
By Wolfstar
In October of 2007, cities across Asia, Europe, and North America launched protest rallies against Myanmar's military regime, which admitted to detaining hundreds of Buddhist monks.
The widespread, spontaneous response demonstrated how global communication networks are connecting people and events around the world, as if we all live in a small village.
The accelerated merging of diverse cultures is a celestial signpost for the Age of Aquarius.
Among astrologers who point to a year when we officially begin the Age of Aquarius, 2012 is becoming increasingly popular. The most recent addition to this view comes from astrologer Mark Borax in his book 2012: Crossing the Bridge to the Future. The author describes the pending paradigm shift, and how we are in the best of times and the worst of times: "The balance of forces is raw and volatile."
Among those who experienced the socio-political revolution of the 1960s, many felt that era was the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. A Uranus-Pluto conjunction astrologically marked that era for a collective change in consciousness. But in the seventies, everyone forgot that peace and love happened, as practical necessities overtook liberation. However, the sixties did give birth to our information technologies.
In 2012, the revolutionary Uranus-Pluto cycle reaches its next major phase. The two planets form the first of seven squares in June 2012, by which time we can expect their crisis-inducing tendencies to be full-blown and on a global scale. As reported last week, global warming is already escalating much more rapidly than anyone anticipated, but this will likely be only one of many collective challenges.
