Down The Rabbit Hole #1 Cycle of the Sun

"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, 1967, from the musical Hair

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole.  Once a month, throughout this year, we will dive into the unusual, the unknown and the downright weird.  I hope you enjoy the journey.

This is the third attempt to put this information into some kind of format that would make sense.  Reading over the first two attempts, came across like an old dusty science book, way too much technical information.  I was nearly asleep by the third paragraph.
The Voice, that lives in my head and who has fully recovered from its new year antics, looked over my shoulder and softly whispered, "Be yourself." Ok, I will keep it simple.

Our tiny solar system that revolves around our sun is believed to have an even bigger journey.  The Mayan calendar is just one example of the ancients perhaps having lots more sense than we do.  They knew about this journey.

Our cosmos, that we see on a clear night sky, is split into twelve parts.  These are commonly known as the zodiac.  It takes our solar system nearly 26,000 years to travel through each sign or age of the zodiac.  Dividing this number by 12, we come up with an estimated 2100 years that we spend in a particular age.  

So what?  Well, interestingly, the Mayan Calendar did not predict the end of life on earth as we know it.  It was a calendar that marked the end of an age.  The end of Pisces, the fish, the name we use that was given to us by the early Greeks.  It is believed we are now entering into the age of Aquarius.

According to my research, this age of Pisces that we are leaving behind, has been one full of anarchy and power.  This too is interesting, especially looking at the recent upheaval of society and the atrocities that humans bestow upon each other.  If this is true, what does this new age have in store for us?

Perhaps the lyrics to the Age of Aquarius say it best, "Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust, abounding.  No more falsehoods or derisions (ridicule, mockery).  Mystic crystal revelation and the mind's true liberation."

Believable?  It would certainly be better than what is going on now, but it is up to the individual to come to their own conclusion.  There is a ton of information to be found, if one were to look.  I think the number 12  has a lot of interesting history, especially with the biblical implications. Some articles refer to this Aquarian age as the age of Christ. 

So, as we crawl up out of the Rabbit Hole with this slice of information and that tune, The Age of Aquarius, is dancing around in the back of our heads, let's remember one thing....."Let the sunshine in!"
