Astrological Dawning of the Age of Aquarius

I have seen in several sources a reference to a planetary configuration occurring early morning February 14, 2009. It corresponds to the 60s song by The Fifth Dimension called “Aquarius”. How interesting that on Valentine’s Day of this year we have an opportunity to take note of the energy and its correspondence to the current consciousness shift. Here are the particular lyrics melded into human consciousness in 1969:

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

According to Mahala Gayle, the last alignment of Jupiter and Mars in the sign of Aquarius, the 12th house, which signifies spiritual transformation, occurred in 1962, preceding the tumultuous 60s. However, she states that “when the planets lined up in 1962 the moon was not in the 7th house [Libra, the relationship house]. In this [2009] alignment the moon will be in the 7th house. The year 1962 brought in the first inkling of the new age and now it is ready to mature.”

How do we take advantage of this planetary energy? The lyrics point to another clue:

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation

Astrologers interpret this energy to be related to freedom, love and peace.  As the song continues…

Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you’ve been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in

The Piscean age of duality, representing a parent-child dynamic (think - organized religion), is now behind us. According to John Hogue, a Nostradamus expert, 2009 is the first full year of the Aquarian age. We can look forward to truth, openness, freedom and co-creative living in the years ahead.
