This is an interesting time, since the Sun is now at the final degree of Aquarius, and about to enter Pisces. In a few days it will septile Pluto and then conjunct Neptune, setting the Grand Irrationality into motion. We are now "seeing the Light" of the Age of Aquarius. What does this mean and why is it profoundly important?
This is only the second year in recent history that the initial entry of the Sun into Pisces doesn’t make a septile to Pluto and trigger the long wave configuration I termed the Grand Irrationality. Two years ago was the final year when the Sun’s transit from Aquarius to Pisces triggered the configuration, since with this Solar ingress into Pisces Pluto is at 17 Capricorn and is semi-squared by the Sun. (Of major importance is the Sun is also semisquare Uranus at 18 Aries, cutting the Uranus square Pluto in two and activating the square in a major way!)
That said, the fact that at this time each year from 2011 to 2014 the Sun triggered the Grand Irrationality is highly significant in precipitating events that will lead directly to the coming Age of Aquarius. And in about 5-6 days, the Sun will begin to septile Pluto, again triggering the configuration.
The Sun in the last degrees of Aquarius shows that we’re moving through 48 hours of experiencing the transformational energies of the 29th and 30th degrees of Aquarius. Of some major importance is each year this triggers effects from what Uranus awakened across the world associated with its retrograde station at 29 Aquarius in June 2002 followed by its direct station in November 2003.
Neptune began to “dream the awakening into collective consciousness” when it went stationary retrograde on that degree in May 2010, and set a platform for the atmosphere we’ve all been experiencing since then when it went stationary direct on that degree in November 2011. As 29 and 30 Aquarius, along with 1 and 2 Pisces, is the zone of the “Cusp of the Great Age,” these Transpersonal planetary stations show us what’s down the road for the next 150-190 years.
29 Aquarius is “butterfly emerging from chrysalis." The Sun vitalizes and illuminates whatever it touches. That means at this exact time of the year humanity again experiences (if briefly) a long wave critical period of metamorphosis where we can “see the light” of why we have all had to go through a complete transformation of our lives the past 14 years.
So Uranus awakened this long wave metamorphosis in humanity beginning April 2002 when it first transited 29 Aquarius, then going stationary retrograde at that degree in early June. After moving back and forth across the last degrees of Aquarius and the first degrees of Pisces, it then went stationary direct on that degree November 2003. That awakening set many revolutions into motion in our world, individually and collectively.
Jupiter then expanded and enlarged the “pulse of awakening” into personal and collective philosophies and belief systems when it crossed 29 Aquarius in January 2010. This was immediately followed by Neptune going stationary retrograde on that degree in May 2010, moving this Aquarian transformational energy into the collective unconscious in a vast tide of feeling-awareness.
Neptune then moved back and forth across the final degrees of Aquarius and first degree of Pisces until going stationary direct in November 2011, which as noted set a platform for the atmosphere we’ve all been experiencing since then. This moved many widespread tides of metamorphosis into motion, which is what we’ve all been feeling on the deepest of levels for the past 4+ years.
On a related note, Chiron entered 29 Aquarius in March 2010, and slipped into 1 Pisces April 2010. It went retrograde at 1 Pisces in June 2010, and retrograded back, re-entering 30 Aquarius in July 2010. It transited 30 and then 29 Aquarius through the end of August 2010, finally going stationary direct at 27 Aquarius in November 2010.
It then re-entered 29 Aquarius in early January 2011, and transited the last two degrees through early February, when it re-entered Pisces. It moved forward in that sign, went retrograde in early June 2011, and went back to 1 Pisces, where it stayed from mid-October through early December before again moving into 2 Pisces and forward.
So Chiron also showed us the way to healing as a Root Race in 2010-2011, and began to mentor those who were receptive to becoming part of the healing of humanity. That made Neptune, Chiron, and Jupiter all activators of this “Cusp of the Age” energy. I go into more detail on these influences every New Moon.
Now that Neptune has moved into Pisces, not returning to Aquarius until March 2161, these long wave Aquarian patterns are no longer being formed; since 2010-2011 they’ve been set as patterns in collective consciousness that will be triggered various times by various transits. The Sun’s transit over this degree yesterday powered up the transformational energies of 29 Aquarius, and today it completes its transit of 30 Aquarius, the degree of conscious unity within the larger Light Field that we all are together.
So the Sun has again powered up these long wave transformational energies. When the Sun slips into Pisces today, February 18, at 9:34 pm PST, February 19 at 12:34 am EST, 5:34 am Greenwich, it will enter 1 Pisces for 24 hours. 1 Pisces is where Neptune went stationary retrograde in 2011, and went stationary direct in 2012. So the Sun shines a light on these themes each year at this time.
Long time readers know that according to my calculations and observations, I believe the precessional point is still 1 Pisces, and we won’t be fully into the Age of Aquarius until a few decades pass. Even then, we’ll be dealing with echoes of Piscean Age thinking and living until a few more decades pass. The huge awareness of the Unified Field will no doubt occur once we’ve entered the Age of Aquarius and collectively experience what 30 Aquarius is all about.
Given that 1 Pisces is where we are at right now during the end of the Age of Pisces, taking a closer look at the meaning of 1 Pisces may help give you a sense of what we’ve been dealing with in a larger evolutionary sense since the 1980s. And of course, the Sun conjunct Neptune sets a whole new year of Neptunian energies into motion, so it’s an important cycle unto itself, like the Sun-Pluto and Sun-Uranus cycles. These set Transpersonal-Spiritual energy patterns that play out across humanity over the year that follows.
So consider this a moment in time when you can get hints, glimpses, and intuitive flashes of the larger evolutionary point of human awareness, as it has been and continues to be at this end of the Piscean Age, as well as a sense of what is to come beginning the last half of this century into the next as humanity moves into the Age of Aquarius. This time illuminates the area of reality where the old Age gives way to the new.

Great stuff. Will keep the antenna open to grasp as much as possible of what the future will look like. This can be a great compass to provide a clearer sense of direction for humanity.
Blessings be to all.

Robert, thanks for this fine exploration of the cusp of the Aquarian Age. It's important to recognize that entry into the Unified Field likely requires an expansion of consciousness together with a healing crisis. I suppose one could say that the collective consciousness is now actively involved in that process?

Interesting as always Robert, thanks!
As it turns out, I happen to have natal mercury at 2 degrees Pisces (and I'm Aquarius sun with Venus in Aquarius too) and so I'm curious how you'd view that in respect to what you offer here?

So dear master...are we "re-inventing" a new version/vision of the "80's" ??????????
Do I still get to kick the crap out of a dance floor?? si/no?? Not that I've stopped the song/dance mode...however will there be $ rather than paper rewards to hang on a wall?:)

Another great article from the lovely Robert and I can really feel that the heat as been turned up. As far as this mystic is concerned, the first day of the golden age was in November 2003 at the harmonic concordance. However, I am aware that the ages overlap, as one age is moving out and the other is moving in. From my own experience, perspective and view, and in many ways the transition as had to be an overlapping of the content from one age to another. That meant helping people that read ancient texts, to comprehend those ancient texts in a more spiritual reality. To go beyond where they were and in so doing combining the best aspects of the past, giving spiritual comprehension in the present, to enable and help the Christians that were open to receive, so that in the present and in the future they can be more proactive in a more spiritual way as originally intended, united in the heart of noble deeds that stand.
