The Age of Aquarius

I have returned to linking, but what I link is what I feel in some way as well, and what I feel when I read about this Age of Aquarius is similar to how I feel when things begin anew, like spring, it feels like joy and hope. This entry will be links then, of what is come across about the Age of Aquarius.

Another site that writes about this as well.

Socrates and Plato

I am thinking that for me to better understand astrology and reincarnation I must first read about Socrates and Plato.

I am not sure why, but this makes me extremely sad.  It feels like the focus is on replacing, and not fixing.

Sounds of Silence

Simon and Garfunkel

I have been listening to Simon and Garfunkel recently, their cd “The Concert in Central Park”, it reminds me of how much I loved all their music, especially when they are singing together and I would have loved to have attended this concert. Because this song is about communication, I think it already in the Age of Aquarius:)

I would like to practice writing out my thoughts of things, or at the moment I think I would like to :). I find it so frustrating at times trying to write with words what my thoughts are, not everyday little thoughts but the thoughts that feel deeper. Even in vocalizing them I have a hard time, and would wish sometimes that people could read my mind so I did not have to explain what I thought with words:) I try to show one of my sons how to do this more so as well. He does not talk much about how he feels about things, but unlike me, he is able to write complex and beautiful poetry, explaining what is on his mind or lets go of things this way I think and I am unsure yet whether it is important for him or not to try and share this part of himself more vocally, so for now I just encourage him to try and see why he feels certain ways about things.

So instead of always linking to articles, I will read them, link them and then write what I like or see in them or what makes sense to me, but in doing so this post will likely change much. It will be like practicing drawing I think, there are times when I erase everything in a little drawing and begin again and other times I just leave it be because I like maybe how the eyes turned out or a hand or such.

I thought to do this using the draft format of wordpress, and I began this post this way, but I am not liking how it feels hidden to me, like it is out of sight and out of mind, like the sketch books I have, so I will do it this way instead.

I began to want to know more, after coming upon the site below about how much the time we were born in astrologically affects how we see the world, our temperments, how and why we react to the world around us and such. I always loved reading about astrology when I was young and reading about the myths of old, so this holds much interest to me but I was distracted from reading about this further though when I came across “The Age of Aquarius”. I needed to look up what it was and found this meaning. (I have lost the links I first came across but will put them here next)

When I read this meaning I was amazed that these ages happen only 2000 or so years apart and I thought how wonderful it is to live in this time of this new age. I thought us in this Age of Aquarius already, mainly because I have always felt we live in an age of information, with personal computers that allow us to access many things on a web that still allows freedom of speech and where we are able to see two sides of things sometimes if we question one.

As I read futher though I realized that according to many we are not in this age as yet, even though we are very close, we are still in the Age of Pisces, so I needed to read a bit of the Pisces age. Very very simply, I gathered it to be an age of faith, which when I think about it makes so much sense. Many religions began during this age, and I think many needed to have things mean meaning, and I began to wonder about the reasons why the ones who lived before this age felt religion was so needed, maybe because it was the Age of Aries, the age before the Age of Pisces. (another link I must put here)

It almost seems like the beginning of the Pisces age is similar to the beginning of the Age of Aquarius when ones begin to question again what is right and what is wrong, but it is different now with the technology we have. The technology that allows us to access much more information.

Reincarnation and Astrology

I believe in reincarnation, not because of remembering any past lives, for I don’t remember any but just because it feels right to me. I don’t really talk about it often, or think about it, except maybe sometimes in conversations with my sisters or with my father over the phone or when I come across it being talked about here. This thinking about it today led me to this article,

http://www.jeremysilman.com/astrology/astrology_reincarnation.html

it was fun to see about the ones whose signs I know, some were right some not so right, but I think those that did not seem so right maybe just need a more personal charting of their birth time. When I looked up my mothers though her sign of the Scorpio describes her perfectly :) and I am so glad she let me know that she believed in reincarnation as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 through Nov. 21) This may not be your first life as a Scorpio. This sign can take awhile to master, and you may return a few times at roughly the same degree of the sun in order to thoroughly explore the depths of soul that can be plumbed from this source. Scorpios follow their own intuition in the mysteries of life. You may feel you remember having lived before. Many Scorpios are drawn to study reincarnation, not for the parlor game aspect of it (you are very skeptical of “seers” who are paid to tell you that you are Napoleon returned) – what interests you is how this birth and death thing is done. How does the YOU of YOU get from one plane of existence (and consciousness) to another?

In the past, you were privy to profound moments. You may have inherited a position in religious life (these jobs used to run families in the middle ages), from which you observed acts of true faith that touched you deeply. Or you may have had a soul stretching experience near the time of your death in the past, and the powerful knowledge that it continues to influence you, no matter how “ordinary” a life you may choose now.

Scorpio arrives with legacy of having once acquired extraordinary discipline. Perhaps you were a samurai, or member of such group that combined extreme physical conditioning with philosophical training. You have mastered as no other sign the principles of mind over matter. Though you were ambitious for earthly power and possessions, you understand that real power emanates from within.

In the New Age, many will need your knowledge that the greatest power is attained through pain, that the freedom of truth is acquired through suffering.
