The Age of Aquarius

         1.9    The ninth house. Communal ideas.  Philosophy, Higher education.  

The natural ruler of the ninth house is Sagittarius.  The affairs of this house are of little interest to Capricorns.  Only a few pay attention to matters of this house.  For the adept or enlightened Capricorn, this is the house where the roots of failure of their plots and schemes are laid down.  For the Capricorn, Laws manifest as regulations administered by incompetent and corrupt officials; Philosophies manifest as over complicated word salads served with bitter dressing;  Higher education is where the rich send their dullard spawn to be kept away from the grown ups.  The adept Capricorn approaches the affairs of this house with a hidden purse of bribe money and sinecures of no-work jobs.  Bah.  

The State Religion is ruled by this house.  Generally, State Religions are the cultural institutions that co-exist with the State, and lubricate the machinery of communal existence.  The definitions and roles of the State Religion are fluid and varies across time and place, so a crisp description is elusive.  Which is typical of the mushy logic employed by Sagittarius which has natural rulership of this phenomena.  Now we exist in that segment of time when people think that Scorpio rules this arena, when actually Libra is now in charge.  During this period of chaos, open conflict, and secrets revealed, the wise Capricorn is encouraged to take advantage of the weakness of others in order to secure lasting advantage.  

During the Age of Aquarius, the assigned ruler of the ninth house is Libra.  Despite propaganda that Libra is a harmonious sign, fond of beauty and taking delight in simple pleasures, the truth is that Libra is a manifestation of the war goddess Athena, along with her chum Nike.  Libra is in a state of moving towards equilibrium, and rarely gets there unless there is some sensible Capricorn around to pull tight the cords on the corset of reality.  The realization that there is a State Religion will be made aware to the ignorant masses, and that this will be defined in some sort of conflict between good and evil, where we are good and they are evil.  Typical Libra simplification, of course.   Libra is also known as having champagne tastes on a beer budget. Those institutions in the transition that have wealth will be looted, and the aggrandizement of these assets will be of interest to a discerning Capricorn with an eye to millennium financial planning.  Those that survive, and those that rise up, will have elements of spectacle, be well dressed, and constantly hunting for sugar daddy (a role which naturally falls to Scorpio, conveniently.

   1.4    The fourth house.  The home.

The natural ruler of the fourth house is Cancer.  The affairs of this house are distractions and complications to all Capricorns, and in all affairs of this house, Capricorns have a disadvantage from a natural opposition.

During the Age of Aquarius, the assigned ruler of the second house is Taurus.

Things better be comfortable in the home during the Aquarian Age.  There better be food, comforts, beauty.  Otherwise, Taurus will get angry and break things.  So, the Aquarian Age will witness an oscillation between long periods of happy, well fed in the stable time, and short periods of raging stampedes of totally destructive peasants.  There will be a fascination with ancestors role in history, and resources expended in the study of ancient arts and crafts.

2.4 The transition effects on the fourth house

During the Age of Pisces, the assigned ruler of the fourth house was Gemini.  

At the beginning of the age, very few of our fourth house actors are aware of the change in the nature of their role.  Unfortunately for the aristocrats who inherit rulership, the old Gemini methods of motivation by fear, reward, or deception, will backfire.  In the old system, the frequently corrupt actors of the fourth house merely escaped with a fine, perjured apology, or various virtue signaling.  Now they will face the angry bull, upon whom golden words only stoke anger.

Capricorn can take advantage of this.  Taurus, assigned ruler of the fourth house in the Aquarian Age, is of an allied element to Capricorn.  Capricorn can front run market trends in nostalgia, memorabilia, and home comforts.  They can identify the soon to be crucified aristocrats who provoke unquenchable anger by threatening the comforts of the home, the beliefs of tradition, and the conveniences of life on the dole.

  1.2   The second house.  Personal property

The natural ruler of the second house is Taurus.  The affairs of this house are of interest of all Capricorns, and in all affairs of this house, Capricorns have advantage from being a similar element.

During the Age of Aquarius, the assigned ruler of the second house is Pisces.

Acquiring and retaining property becomes a matter best directed by the subconscious, intuition, and divination.  Things of value will become valueless quickly over night, or slowly over a lifetime.  The forces robbing objects of value are beyond the reason of an average person.  Similarly, common objects will become valuable.  These forces will be compared to fog, to the silent rise of rivers, and the incomprehensible creative and destructive forces of the ocean.  

Lotteries, black markets, evading regulations, and gaming public dole will be the common lot.    Currencies will be legion; they will come and go.  Corporations will rise and fall on fickle public opinion.  

2.2 The transition effects on the second house

During the Age of Pisces, the assigned ruler of the second house was Aries.  

At the beginning of the age, very few of our second house actors are aware of the change in the nature of their role.  Given that pioneering Aries thrives on adventure and challenge, the common man was attracted to 'work ethics' (that worked!), finding new products, creative marketing, and leveraging out the middle man.  These are very attractive to those wishing to obtain and retain personal possessions.  They are no more.  There will be resistance to accepting change; these people will be food for bigger fish.  The state will provide all wants; obtaining needs will require a bit of moxy. 

A truism about Pisces is 'help comes to them when needed'.  The Aquarian Age is better imagined as being a successful creature of a coral reef community, than a heroic individual of the frontier.  Resources are far more plentiful, in fact, surplus and excess will be common place.   

In the Aquarian Age, personal property becomes far more dangerous that it was  in the preceding age.  In the past, dangerous objects were tools of survival.  In the Aquarian age, dangerous objects will be for entertainment.  

Most laws will not be uniformly enforced.  Casual disobedience will become common place, and hence dangerous.  Be careful which part of the coral reef you frequent.

Atlantis will rise again from the ocean.  Space travel will de-populate the earth, making real estate worthless.  Technology will eliminate the need for most of the objects you use.

 1.10  The tenth house.  Governments, rulers, and masters of estates

The natural ruler of the tenth house is Capricorn.  The affairs of this house are of natural interest of all Capricorns, and in all affairs of this house, Capricorns have advantage from divine entities, and inherent ability. 

During the Age of Aquarius, the assigned ruler of the tenth house is Scorpio.

Secret combinations form to control governments, corporations, enterprises, and estates.  Their agenda is control, and ideology is subservient to power.  Where their ideology is noble, still deception will be required for success.  Less evolved agendas include personal wealth, sexual favors, and forbidden pleasures.  

Secret combinations will extend across entities.  Members of these secret combinations will form smaller splinter groups.  Adept members will be suspicious of others, and be guarded in speech and action, extending to their private lives.   

2.10 The transition effects on the tenth house

During the Age of Pisces, the assigned ruler of the tenth house was Sagittarius.  

At the beginning of the age, very few of our tenth house actors are aware of the change in the nature of their role.  Given that warlike Scorpio is more predatory than scholarly Sagittarius, the 'old school'  actors will be consumed quickly by scandal, become compromised by blackmail, or surrender to darkness and the pleasures it brings.  

At first, secret combinations will be devoted to establishing their control.  Their motivation will be wealth, privilege, and sex.  Ideology will be a convenient front, an excuse and rationalization for their ignoble acts.

After the first wave, secret combinations will form in resistance to the initial opportunists who discovered new feeding niches.  The second wave will be more extreme than the first, having been stung by treachery, greed, and incompetence of the former.  The second wave will come as those seeking to wallow in the pleasures of the darkness; alternately, they will be seeking to destroy the first wave.  Having learnt the methods used by the first wave, the second wave will master their tactics and replace them in a series of ugly power struggles.

The third wave will be when the common people comprehend that Scorpio now rules the tenth house.
