Our Piscean Age and Year of the Horse

If we consider the visual position of the Sun relative the background Stars and constellations, we are still very much in the Age of Pisces. In fact, we are still there for another 350 years or so. In the context of the cycle of approximately 2160 years for each age, we are of course nearing its last leg and the dawning of the new Age can be sensed. Let us not assume, however, that this means that the dawn is the Sunrise: the Age of Aquarius, which will itself last 2160 years, is not yet present.

In a similar manner (if for entirely different reasons), we are still within the Year of the Snake, and the Horse Year will arise with the second New Moon following the Summer Solstice, which will occur around the 17th of February (as the Moon does not rigidly obey the dictates of our calendar, the date changes every year). Unlike ‘Western’ astrology, the Chinese year reflects Jupiter ‘s 12-year cycle.

This year proves to be a rapid year of blessings and moving challenges, with numerous seeds that have already been sown bearing rapid movement and fruit. It is also likely to bring to light certain elements that are to be exposed or trampled upon.
