JMG on the Age of Aquarius

[causticus]

John Michael Greer answering a question (from this week's Magic Monday) on what exactly the Age of Aquarius is:

The sign Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of individuality, eccentricity, high weirdness, revolution, radical change, and mass death. Unity and harmony (as well as madness, mass hysteria, and totalitarianism) are correspondences of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, the age that ended in 1879. So people who expect the age of Aquarius to bring us another round of Piscean values are barking up the wrong stump. As the age of Aquarius deepens around us, we can expect less unity and harmony (as well as less madness, mass hysteria and totalitarianism), and more people veering off in weird directions without worrying about what other people think. Oh, and lots of localized disasters, political revolutions, and other sudden changes.

Yeah, not at all what people still stick in Pisces mode imagine it to be.
