The Age of Aries began approximately 2500 B.C. until 300 B.C. Aries is symbolized by the ram. The Ram headed god, Amen-Re, became the
one god replacing the polytheism of earlier eras. Great men emerged as heroes based on their courage and their ability rather than their lineage. This Age corresponds to the Old Testament and is characterized by the symbolic Moses. Moses was a desert man, who challenged the Pharaoh of Egypt with a staff and the power of God. Aggressive, fearless and against all odds he led his people back into the desert to find their freedom. During that journey on a mountain top God manifested Himself as a burning bush saying ‘I AM THAT I AM”. Aries is a fire sign and the burning bush is a constant fire that does not burn. Moses came down the mountain with the Ten Commandments. He did not know that he had a burning bush within him that would provide him the courage to become the icon of the Age of Aries. It is only now that we are evolving into the Age of Aquarius that we can claim our inner, powerful God.
The Old Testament’s God is seen as an angry jealous and unforgiving God, - an Arian God. Through this Age, humanity was struggling with emergence into self-awareness and self-actualization. There was a great deal of savagery and selfishness also. People took what they wanted by fighting each other: “might make right”. Iron, which is the metal ruled by Aries and Mars was discovered and used most often to create weapons. Aries ruling planet, Mars, the warrior king rules by the sword! Libra, the opposing sign influenced this age in the development of legal systems. We don’t have to look any farther than The Ten Commandments as the first written legal code for western civilization.
The Age of Aries led us to the last two thousand years of the Age of Pisces... Pisces is a water sign and water symbolizes the emotions that create this level of Love. The Age of Pisces taught that humanity needs to relate to the divine and the world-at-large through a more emotional filter.. In its more constructive aspect, this brought about a newfound element of compassion and faith in society, especially within Christian society. We see the emergence of a spiritual sensibility that spoke of "turning the other cheek" rather than the smiting of one's enemies. Jesus spoke about God, not as an angry God, but as a God of forgiveness. Christ was the son of this loving God, a lamb, a gentle creature. He died for humanity’s sins, which made Him the victim and redeemer. Pisces is the martyr, sacrificing itself for the needs of others. Christ’s resurrection symbolizes the rebirth into spirit, a Pisces reality. Throughout His short ministry there was a plethora of Pisces symbols: baptism by water, the washing of feet, disciples who were fisherman, turning water into wine, miracles, spiritual healing, drawing fish in the sand and so many more. Christ’s message was that of forgiveness, what Pisces does best!

Symbology Of Uranus
Uranus is the ruling planet of the sign of Aquarius and the next 2,000 years of the Age of Aquarius.. It’s astrological glyph is a derivation of the letter “H” for its discoverer Herschel in 1781. It is almost impossible to see Uranus with the naked eye. It required technological advances of the telescope to see it. Because it takes Uranus about 84 years to go around the Sun, the average individual will only experience one Uranus return. Uranus is the first of the transpersonal planets, which means it affects the collective as well as the individual. Uranus is associated with sudden unexpected changes and events. It is the “awakener” and symbolizes the urge to freedom, intuition, individuation, originality and independence. It is our personal hurricane rushing through our lives, and taking down whatever structures have outlived their usefulness in our lives. Uranus is always connected to the mind of God; from whence all creative invention comes. As intuitive connections are made with God, change occurs for the individual and for the world. Each generation will break with the traditions of the generation before it and take on the unique energy of its particular Uranus.
