10) A word about the Aquarian Age:- (The following passages were originally a part of the page on Religion. As that page had become far too long, so I made it into an independent page. In fact, because it carries certain useful messages, I have also included it as a page of the Theory of Regenerating Universe. However, readers are invited to read c) 3 ticking time bombs of the 21st century and page c2) Political religion in conjunction, because these materials are relevant to each other). Updated 7th July 2011 

In the following. I am about to describe and report the oldest cosmological science in history, yet at the same time, it is also probably the most newly revived or rediscovered science in the world, which, in my view, has become important! What I am talking about is Astrology, the oldest branch of cosmology! Well, ever since the beginning of civilization humans have been observing the cosmos. They found that patterns of solar motions were not only changing the season on earth, but also the influence of different solar planets were actually affecting human life and events in society. Those patterns and influences would in time become recognizable and predictable. In fact, very accurate and reliable predictions of seasonal change based on solar influence have been established, although such influence on human life are less obvious. Some ancients believed that solar phenomena were divine manifestations and planets were really gods, and so mythological deities were invented and worshipped, others continued to observe and learn to predict those cosmic phenomena. Today we know these stars and planets are just cosmic bodies that radiate electromagnetic energies, and that human made machines can land on them. 

However, whilst supernatural beliefs came and went, the study of cosmic phenomena developed into a course of knowledge. Such knowledge were confirmed and correlated by numerous observers in different lands and cultures that it would become a specialized discipline of science. It is known as Astrology! Western Astrology was first begun in the sandy deserts of Mesopotamia, today's Iraq, some 6000 years ago, and was therefore the ancient precursor of Cosmology (equally old is the ancient Chinese cosmology, I-Ching, or the Book of Change). The desert sky of Arabian nights, in ancient time as also in modern days, are cloudless and crystal clear. People are able to observe the unblinking moving planetary bodies clearly with naked eyes. It was quite inevitable for the ancient Iraqi to observe and recognize the influences of solar energies affecting not only the ecosystem but also the human society as well as the individual human life. However, the ancient Iraqi were just the starters, countless other observers all over the world have been doing the same through out history, all 6000 years of history, and they don't argue over the principles, the methods or the basic interpretations of astrology...

Theoretically and fundamentally, the science of astrology is valid and correct, as it postulates that since no mass, nor energy, can possibly come out of nothing, hence every human action, behavior and deed are driven by energies. Life and evolution on earth are therefore energized chiefly by ambient cosmic energies, which are huge compared with human and animal physical efforts. There are basically two programs of enormous cosmic energies affecting everything to grow and decay on earth. Firstly, a program of practically regular and continuous dynamic energies produced by the sun, moon and solar planets, as well as their satellites and comets, etc., in motion. Secondly, there is also a program of much farther away energies coming from distant stars, galaxies and Constellations, or the outer space. Both programs are cosmic energies and forces that energize our environment unceasingly, but because they are separated by vast distances in between, them there is a difference between the speed or the rate of their arrivals and therefore different timing of influence and effect on  the events and evolution on earth. 

These cosmic energies are so colossal that they pull the entire earth's ocean waters up and down twice a day. They make storms, seasonal changes, volcanoes and earthquakes. In fact, they are the same energies that drive the entire solar planets and the whole solar system to go round and round, which we humans can do nothing but watch. Only because we humans are living right inside such energy environment, and we are so accustomed to it that we are almost unaware that if huge planets and ocean waters are driven to move, then we too subject the same forces! However, in order to detect the effect and rates of these energies objectively, we need close observation and analysis of their effects, as well as past records and accumulated knowledge for each cosmic or solar object. This what Astrology has been doing for 6000 years. 

Astrology shows that although all cosmic energies affect us directly and unceasingly. Yet, due to different speeds the program of energy near us (i.e., the inner space solar energies) noticeably affects those events within a span of human life, and the far way program (i.e., outer space cosmic energies) affects more noticeably those changing ages in human civilization and natural history. In other words, everything in nature, e.g., cosmic objects and living things, are all synchronized and interlocked to live and evolve under the programs of cosmic energy affecting them. Such energies are colossal, unrelenting and have been taken for granted! However, due to studies since the early days of civilization, they are acknowledged to have many distinctive characteristics, for instance, they have known or predictable cycles, and known rates of motion, and to some extent, even the effects of their energy may be predicted as well. 

Astrology therefore bases its predictions on those known rates of solar planetary motions, and some accumulated knowledge on effects produced by those planetary influence. Briefly speaking, the cosmic energies of the more nearby solar system and their motions through the different degrees and segments of the ecliptic affect the changes of seasons as well as the daily influences on human life. This has always been the main stream interest of astrologers. However, there is also a less-known part of astrology that finds interests and meanings in the study of cosmic influence to the changing eras or ages on earth and in human history. It has been discovered millenniums ago that the Precession of Vernal Equinox through different parts of Constellations produces distinctive changing ages in history. Such ages are then given the name of the Constellation, e.g., the Piscean Age, the Age of Aquarius, etc., etc..

Astrology has worked quite meaningfully and persistently for thousands of years, and was once an important course of study in many major universities in Europe, but then it was soon discarded because it acquired such a trust that at one time many astrologers went over the edge and were indiscriminately using it to heal almost any kind of illnesses. As a result, astrology did suffer from its own miss-venture for some times, and could only resume its proper course in science about a century ago. However, its recovery was  inevitable, because the influence of solar system was far too strong to be missed out by the fast advancing science, and of course, by now modern computers have done a lot to calculate the exact daily motions of sun, moon and planets, including their tiny perturbations, which help to coordinate with astrological observations and predictions... 

However, although astrological observations are theoretically valid and correct, so far there are still a lot of traditional assumptions, some age old concepts and methods mixed in them that would eventually want further modern reassessments and improvements. This is what I mean earlier by saying that astrology is the oldest, yet is also about to be the newest revived science in the world. So new that it could yet surprise the world... Nevertheless, I do not intend to discuss the details of actual astrological practices here. Here I have only space to briefly describe the development of the science, and to report its nature and importance, which relate to the main concern of this page, i.e. the discussions on "Aquarian Age", or the age we now live in. The name "Aquarian Age" is defined by astrology, because the Vernal Equinox has now moved into the Constellation of Aquarius. This page is also a demonstration of what goes on between stars, planets and human life, as well as human civilization... Probably even human survival... So let's go! 

In recent years the University of Paris had given a Ph.D award to professional astrologer Madam Elizabeth Teissier. An university grade educational institute called Kepler College for dedicated study of astrology was established under official grant from educational authorities in the United States. Many other universities around the world are doing research on the subject. These measures are indeed important and necessary now, because any knowledge, old or new, that can endure the test of time and can enhance our further understanding of the cosmos are important in this cosmological age ... According to thousands of years of astrological and astronomical observations, it has been established that due to the wobble of the Earth's pole on its axis, the Vernal Equinox (sun at zero degree of Aries) moves backwards, describing a circle, along the plane of Ecliptic through the 12 Signs or Constellations of the Zodiac. As a result the Earth experiences notable changes of energy in the solar environment producing not only a succession of clearly predictable seasons and seasonal differences, but also great ages or long term changes affecting slow progression in civilization and ecology on earth. For instance, the Sun's forwards motion, with normal speed, through 12 Constellations produces 12 monthly and 4 seasonal changes, whilst the Axis of earth (Vernal Equinox ) moves backwards, in slow speed, through the same Constellations therefore  produces 12 Ages of Civilization with 4 mega seasons of more pronounced energy as well!.

As this backward motion of Vernal Equinox describes a completes circle once every 26,000 years, dividing the Zodiac into 12 equal Signs, or 12 ages, each age therefore lasts 2160 years. The beginning of an age occurs when the Precession of Vernal Equinox enters a new Constellation. This Vernal Equinox has now precessed (going backwards) into the Constellation of Aquarius, therefore we are now living in the Aquarian Age (the 11th Sign of the Zodiac). As different scholars interpret the precession of Equinox differently, there are various opinions on the timing of entry into Aquarian Age, although in my own view, it is still in the early stage (I will come to that later). There had been two historical phenomena announcing significant change in human civilization that could have announced the arrival or the start of Aquarian Age. The first is Copernicus' revelation of the solar system, but Copernicus's discovery did not immensely affect every human life on earth. The second is the discovery of electricity started by scientists like Michael Faraday around 1830, followed by combined efforts of development in the middle and second half of the 19th century by many scientists and nations. Then in the 1940s the nuclear explosion of Hiroshima and in 1950s the advent of Sputnik, the man made satellite, had all signified the arrival of the Age of Electricity, as well as the Nuclear and Space Age, which in turn indicates the presence of Aquarian Age, in the Constellation ruled by planet Uranus. 

However, the energy behind this combined new age is really Electromagnetism, because nuclear energy is mainly used in electrical power generations. Everything else, such as oil, coal, solar, wind, water, chemical, nuclear, etc., etc.. all are ended up in making electric power. Nations like France and Japan today are using nuclear power to generate electricity for about 50-80% of national need. Practically every instrument for control or measurement on earth and in space has to do with electronic or electromagnetic energy. Electric light illuminates the entire world. Hospital equipments, any transport vehicles, household cooking utensils, air conditioners, computers, telephone, clocks and watches are all worked by electrical circuit designs. And now low intensity electric currents are being conducted through acupuncture needles into many parts of the body and tiny electronic computing devices are implanted even in the heart and brain to control and regulate their malfunctions... Therefore the Aquarian Age may truly be termed as the Age of Electromagnetic Energy. Even the explanation in this Regenerating Universe website makes the creation of light, or electromagnetic energy in the universe understandable for the first time! 

Meanwhile, our modern age came also into being sometime in the 19th century. Intellectual and philosophical pursuits, such as Positivism, Humanitarianism and Evolution boomed vigorously around the middle of 19th century. Boolean Algebra, which is the very foundation of modern computer logical circuitry, was published in 1847. Today electronic computer is changing the world. In short, for a little more than one and half century, human life and civilization has undoubtedly entered the great but dangerous new astrological era, called the Aquarian Age, which affects every single life and every activities of life on earth. It so happens that the above description of activities in science and in life of our time fits the astrological descriptions and interpretations of the nature and characteristics of the Constellations of Aquarius. Now judging from the great impact on discovery of electricity, I therefore think that Aquarian Age had arrived a little more than 170 years ago. Or right on Michael Faraday began his experiments on electricity.What's more, in 1839 Charles Darwin formulated his work on Natural Selection, the theory of Evolution, which, without a doubt, had decisively put an end to the Piscean Age, because age old astrological descriptions and interpretations of the Piscean Constellation are typically that, such as belief, religion and Creationism, etc.. . 

Therefore, the Vernal Equinox, which moves backwards one degree every 72 years, should now be in the 27th degree of Aquarius (Vernal Equinox has moved backwards over 2 degrees from the very end of Aquarian Constellation). This new Aquarian Age is clearly also an age of constant scientific discoveries, not just electromagnetic but also nuclear technologies, and also the age of sudden break out of violence and wars, such as 1st and 2nd World Wars, or wars in the Gaza and in the Gulf, as it seem to correlate with the characteristics of Aquarian Constellation ruled by planet Uranus. However thankfully according to astrological interpretation, it is also the Age of Humanitarianism, and indeed there is a growing trend that emphasizes on animal rights and human rights, etc., etc... In the meantime as we are still in the early stage of Aquarian Age, more and more nuclear-electric powers are going to be needed. All other energies such as coal, fossil fuel, solar, wind or whatever new energies or fuels can only serve to provide more electromagnetic energy and enhance its applications. Because for a  phenomenon to be called an Age, it should be able to affect every single life, every household and practically every living activity. This is indeed what electromagnetic energy now does, and will do more! Electromagnetic energy  is also the energy and life of the great cosmos itself, as it communicates, expands, unifies and regenerates the entire universe. That's why we have moved not only from Piscean Age to Aquarian Age, but also from Heliocentric Age to the Great Universal Age, or the Great Space Age!

Also because the astrological nature of Aquarian Constellation ruled by Uranus is not only energetic and explosive, it is also instantaneous, enlightening, illuminating and revealing, that's why it is also the age of science and scientific inventions.  Therefore, the Aquarian Age is not only a dangerous age with discovery of explosives, nuclear technology and other yet more dangerous energies as well as unexpected outbreak of wars with war devastations and and war cruelties, it comes also instinctive revelation of humanity and humanitarian impulses. So Aquarian Age may also be called the "Age of Great Science and Great Revelations", in other words, it is the time of great killings through science and technology as well as great revelations of humanitarian values.. Of course, wherever there is action, there is also reaction, as wherever there is Ying, there is Yang as well. In the end, Mother Nature would keep a good measure of balance as always. So, if needless cruelties and excessive use of explosive energies were to continue without revelations or reflective balance, then before too long both animal and human species could go extinct. There would be no winners or losers, just the massive outbreak of human emotions amidst the realities of carnage and death, which would spread as fast and as wide as the contamination of radioactive materials. Perhaps such future inevitability has already started as already there are seemingly no ends of suicidal fighters willing and ready to terminate their own life in order to keep nature in balance...

I cannot go into lengthy explanations here about how astrologers all over the world and history have come to determine and agree on the astrological meaning and characteristics of Aquarius and planet Uranus, because it would take a whole book and more. However, I can state here briefly the findings of astrology, which has some 6000 years of history and growing stronger even now. The characteristics and influences of Aquarian Constellation and planet Uranus have been an age old knowledge familiar to astrologers. Such characteristics are known to be inclusive of following connotations:-: 

Sciences:- Aquarian Age sciences and intelligence are based on research, analysis, deduction, and proof and related to electric, electronic, digital and nuclear energy, as well as nuclear weapons, aviation, space and radioactive technologies, also surgical medical operations, above all, cosmology.

High level capacities:- This include science, technology, higher visions, discoveries, inventions and important revelations of truth (in politics, philosophy and religion), as well as flashes of inspirations.  

Unpredictability and great changes:- Aquarian Age is also the age of great social and political changes, such as, revolutions, sudden out break of conflicts and violence (both international and national), including election violence, separatist violence, and all sorts of political violence. Also as Uranus stands for unpredictability and explosiveness, there could be sudden destruction of age old traditional values, frequent occurrences of civil wars and sudden or unpredicted international wars, even nuclear wars. These are evidenced by numerous national revolutions and various international conflicts in the 19th century and two World Wars in the 20th century, even nuclear bombing in Hiroshima, almost just as soon as the Vernal Equinox entered the Zodiacal Constellation of Aquarius, and the Aquarian Age had begun.

Freedom:-  The entry of Aquarian Age also initiates freedom of thoughts, of choice and of travel, also freedom of individual expressions and socialistic as well as humanitarian principles including freedom of belief and of speech, and last but not least, it has also sparked forth the revelation of human rights and animal rights, including humanitarian revelations and understanding between humans to humans as well as between humans to other living beings. 

Exposures:- The energy of Aquarian Age has also the capacity of cracking and exposing age-old blindfolds, hidden crimes and human injustices of the past, which hinder the advance of civilization and the process of evolution. Thus Aquarian Age enhances also building of modern legal system and deterrence against crimes.   

(Note:- There are two possible causes that could result in the call for revolt and violence against social and political systems, thus energizing and ushering the entry and development of the Aquarian Age. One cause is due to past human inequalities, which stem from absolute powers of some earlier monarchs, dictatorships, colonial imposition of rules, religious absolutism, slaveries, and inhumane treatments of the conquered or defeated subjects, etc., and the memories are still intact... Another possible cause may stem from the lands of immigrants that harbour and encompass all sorts of ethnicities, beliefs and traditions. Such lands have no choice but to allow freedom or free choice due to the extreme of diversities... Now, it is vitally important that those lands of diversified immigrants never allow sentiments of war (or defense) and patriotism to act as agent and energy to bolster national unity and harmonize large national diversities, because that could bring about unexpected disastrous consequences... Both these causes can create strong reactions and send out calls that could echo through out the world, and usher in the Age of Aquarius, with both positive and negative serious effects and consequences.) 

It is now also vitally important to first recognize that this Aquarian Age is a highly dangerous one, and that it could yet lead to the unwanted and negative side of that next approaching cosmological, or astrological age, i.e., the Capricorn Age, which could yet be the most unwelcome and most fateful era of human and natural history. Please read on as I will leave the more detailed description of Capricorn Age in the last part of this page!... In short, the Aquarian Age is an age of rapid changes, revolutions, inventions and inner revelations that lead to new but unstable and unpredictable reality of 19th, 20th and probably also the 21st century! Although we are still at the early stage of the Aquarian Age, it is vitally important to be warned of the nature and characteristics of this age, which has yet another 2000 years to go before the arrival of Capricorn Age!       

Meanwhile the influence of the last age, the Piscean Age, the age of belief, has been much weakened due to the arrival of Aquarian Age and is now on its way out. Piscean Age, ruled or energized by planet Neptune, is traditionally symbolized by two fishes swimming in opposing directions, because the astrological nature and influence of Piscean Constellation and planet Neptune are known to embrace at the same time two conflicting energies, like religions that covered the entire Age, i.e., thinking and believing (If you can think you can't believe, if you believe then you mustn't think!), and also two worships, namely monotheism and polytheism concurrently that would later spread through out the world. The Piscean Age is also known to encompass the energy and phenomena of mystics, illusion, mythology, superstition, supernatural belief, imaginations, fallacy, fantasy, intrigues, seduction, persuasion and delusions, contradictions and deceptions, etc... It works like drugs, at first it's soothing, stimulating and demanding for more, then it ends up in incurable and irreversible state of existence. These are merely natural products and by-productions of the contradictory energies, because strictly speaking it is impossible to accommodate both true thinking and true believing simultaneously! It's no wonder our world has been in incurable conflict for over 2000 years!... Anyway, on the more positive side, the Piscean Age is also the age of chemistry, drugs, alcohols, tobaccos, herbal medicines, some agricultures, poetry, music and arts, etc.. 

Left:- The age old symbol of Piscean Age (my estimate from 2nd century BC - mid 19th century AD).  

And the age before the Piscean Age was the Arian Age (roughly 4300 years ago). Aries being the 1st Constellation of the Zodiac, it is the beginning of an important great cosmic season, it had brought about the sudden advance in human civilization in many ways for many parts of the world. Astrologically speaking, this age is ruled by planet Mars, and the discovery of bronze weapons in this age also marks the start of large scale human wars and human bloodshed. Now, new 20th century discovery of mass destructive weapons could start off the wars of mass destruction, unless the human civilization is adequately warned and prepared to understand it. It is also important to know that abnormal solar emissions could cause human and animal brain to act abnormally, causing irrational actions including wars and economical damages. It appears that the excess of each preceding age brings about the imminent arrival of the succeeding age. The predictability of astrological science has been timelessly proven correct, and the actual recorded occurrences in individual and social life, even in civilization, have confirmed the science of astrology without a doubt. Alone in the last one century, in fact just in the last decade alone, the astrological observation in changes of collective phenomena from Piscean Age to Aquarian Age has been quite remarkably apparent and affirmative. And now, more and more discoveries of historical evidences are exposing the hidden backgrounds of some religions. Obviously this is barely the beginning of many more revelations to come. 

The era before the Age of Aries was the Age of Taurus, which covered roughly the era from 4300 to 6500 years from now. Taurus is said to be ruled or influenced by the energy of Venus. The Constellation of Taurus is also one of the 4 cosmic divisions with more pronounced energies, i.e., Leo, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio. The Age of Taurus was mainly the age of global agricultural developments, when rice and wheat had become the chief provisions of life. Astrologers are well acquainted with the finding that people born under the influence of Taurus are stubborn, persistent, unyielding and have great physical strength. It was only during the Age of Taurus that great feats of buildings, such as Stone Hinge, Pyramids and Great Walls were built. Therefore, using the data of these great archeological man-made erections, it is not difficult to establish the time and span of the Age of Taurus... 

The age prior to this was the Age of Gemini, roughly 6500 to 7600 years ago. The Constellation of Gemini is ruled by the energy of Mercury. It was the dawn of human social communications and early organization of communal activities. Also development of early languages and intellectual expressions. Still earlier was the Age of Cancer, roughly 10,000 years ago. The Constellation of Cancer is ruled by the energy of Moon. It was the start of organized communal or tribal life and activities, even probably the very early formation of home lands and nations. So, astrology indicates that proper human civilization has only roughly about 10,000 years history. Before that survival would have to depend on personal or close family efforts! All these phenomena of human development coincide with the progression of historical ages as well as the astrological meanings and interpretations of the Constellations and the nature of their ruling planets. The above rough but logical pictures of human development are also what confirmable by archeological evidences.    

Notwithstanding, the most important and worrying Age must be the next Age of Capricorn (beginning roughly 2000 years from now).  This coming Capricorn Age, is ruled and influenced by the energy of of planet Saturn, and according to astrological understanding of the nature of Capricorn and Saturn, it is most highly likely to be a really tough one, in fact, it's almost certain to be very rough at first. This is because the energy of Saturn is very special, as it possesses two phases, the immature phase and the mature phase! It happens to all of us! Firstly, we grow up in immaturity, and we think being naughty is being clever and real fun! So we argue and fight and run around with great energies. Some of us take drugs and others commit little crimes, thinking it's all part of life. Then of course we are punished! And by the time we have learned and experienced enough, we enter the phase of maturity! But by that time often some 3/4 of life has already passed by! Social or national behaviors have also mature and immature phases, except that rewards and punishments can be heavy and even immeasurable! For instance, we could have just one war too many, and the consequence could be global and nuclear conflict! 

In that scenario, since the excess of one cosmological age, e.g., Aquarian Age, causes the arrival of the next age, e.g., the Capricorn Age, now according to astrological understanding of the nature of Capricorn and planet Saturn, life on earth during the Capricorn Age would be extremely hard, difficult, poor, bitter, inadequate, restrictive, unforgiving and temperatures on earth would probably be cold too. If so, it would appear that something extremely destructive has happened to earth or to human society. This Capricorn Age will also last 2160 years. It probably happens because everything on earth is contaminated with nuclear radiations, which could take a couple of millenniums to dissipate due to the long "half life" of radioactive materials. If that were to be the case, then most crops or seeds could be contaminated and most animals would die. Probably only oceanic fish and some rare vegetations could sustain some human lives. Hopefully those few lucky survivors would finally learn the lesson... But I wonder who would survive? Those who think all day of how to make war, or how to make weapons for war and those love to gang up to make wars, or those who are too clever to make war? But since the "Half Life" of radioactive materials takes a couple of thousand years to disperse and completely disappear, nuclear devastations could happen anytime, even now! And our earth could be covered by the products and energies of Aquarian Age for two more thousand years before the arrival of Capricorn Age. 

Let us emphasize and repeat! If global nuclear wars and pollution should begin now, it would take a couple of millenniums to arrive at the point of entry for that fateful Capricorn Age, and then it would take human race, say, another 2160 years of hardship, suffering and endurance to pass through that Age in order to reach at the next new astrological age, namely the Sagittarian Age. Alternatively, if global nuclear wars and pollution should occur only towards the end of the present Aquarian Age, say roughly 2000 years from now, then the world would plunge into 2160 years of extremely poor and miserable Capricorn Age. One way or the other, it still make sense that the suffering of Capricorn Age cannot be avoided   Fortunately, the age after that fateful Capricorn Age is called the Sagittarian Age or Jovien Age, ruled by planet Jupiter. Astrologically speaking, the energy of Jupiter is known to be really nice, happy, righteous, confident and filled with luck, growth, progress and expansion. Probably, by that time, having learned enough from the wars and destructions of Aquarian Age, which resulted in the shrinkage and suffering of Capricorn Age, it would be time for a new positive start. But I wonder how many humans would be left to enjoy it! Because if global nuclear wars should start soon, then it would take about 4000 years to reach the new start, or learned and educated beginning of Jupiter Age!

Astrologers are all familiar with the characteristics of Capricorn, which is ruled by planet Saturn. The only thing is that most scholars still do not concur yet exactly when it would begin. But arrival of this age is unavoidable, even without astrology, or even without the threat of global warming! It is conceivable that technologies for production of powerful energies and powerful war weapons are not going to stop or decline. Meanwhile, the growth rate of human population is exponential and the underground reserve of coal and fossil fuel would not be inexhaustible, hence the continued need of energy could depend on radioactive substance. This would mean that within this century or the next, the human race would have to live with dangerous levels of radioactive nuclear energy. Already the present Chinese government has taken voluntary step to limit the explosion of population. Perhaps by that time humans have already migrated to Moon or Mars, and would only come back to earth after the Capricorn Age is over. But now, looking through some barely 10,000 years of traceable human history with already 6,000 years of astrological knowledge and its meaningful knowledge and explanations about the predictable natures and influences of Constellations and planets, these warnings are no senseless kidding at all!  

However, if such an unfortunate scenario were not caused by natural or accidental catastrophes, then it's possible that it would be the result of human's own self undoing, i.e. massive suicidal nuclear wars. Because other catastrophes, such as the melting down of polar ice, which is a gradual process and could still be dealt with or made livable, so would not be that bad. Other than the ruination of earth ecology, our earth is normally protected by large neighboring planets, such as Saturn and Jupiter, from attack of meteorites, which happens only once in millions of years. But the danger of radioactive contaminating from wars or other causes of over dose radiation can be a reality in merely a couple of centuries, or even less. Therefore, it is not unrealistic that the human wars are likely to bring about the Age of Capricorn. Of course, to be absolutely sure that astrological interpretations are correct and dependable, there is still time to carefully study and rectify human actions, probably even human nature!  Besides, the last time earth safely went through another Capricorn Age, it was roughly say 24,000 years ago. Of course the human was not so advanced and dangerous yet, therefore the last age of Capricorn was not so devastating. Perhaps archeologists and scientists would be able to dig out some comparative information by studying the earth crust, or ice cores and archeological relics dating back to say 25,000 to 30,000 years ago ... In the meantime, it's probably meaningful and wiser to heed warnings!

Yet, despite the above warnings, Mother Nature has already provided a remedy! Because in astrology, the energy of Saturn in the zodiacal division of Capricorn has a well known second nature, which is not bad, but good, not punishing, but rewarding! This sounds contradictory, but no! It is just the consequence of different learning and different timing. I have mentioned earlier that the energy of Capricorn or Saturn has two phases. People live through an immature phase to reach the mature phase, provided they do live through mistakes and punishments! Many cannot withstand or absorb the lessons of mistake and therefore punishments, and collapse or perish prematurely. Others survive through withstanding the experiences and lessons, and learn! To withstand, one has to suffer and endure through self control, self conscience, self awareness, self refinement, self determination and self sacrifice, .in other words, all sorts of self comprehension and self improvement. Once one finds it natural and effortless to do all the self revelation, self education and self conditionings, then one would arrive at peace and understanding with oneself and with the outside world. This is in fact the state or the phase of maturity! It doesn't come free or immediate, but once it comes, it usually stay for life, because it's too precious to let go!

Astrological nature is also human nature, because human life is driven by ambient energies or rather astro-energies from the moment of birth till the time of death without a single moment of halt. The question is can human civilization withstand all the past lessons and perform truly self controls and last till achieving the phase of maturity, or would it collapse and perish prematurely during the Aquarian Age and Capricorn Age, which has yet 4000 years to go? Normally I would say judging from today how war making political leaders are chosen to lead and how they lead, survival is most unlikely! Yet, at the same time, there appears to be faint glimpses for a chance! Because this is the Aquarian Age, so amongst those ever advancing scientific inventions, motivations, inspirations and instant apprehensions, there could also be rare sparks of inner revelation, reflections, redemption and salvation for humanitarianism. Only such sparks might be too rare and too faint to be hopeful and meaningful!           

Lastly, of all the things I have written in this website, probably none is more worthwhile than what I am about to say in the following lines... Well, the electromagnetic-nuclear age or the Aquarian Age has reached deep into our daily life and into our living rooms. Some countries, such as France, are already producing well above half of their total energy needs with nuclear power. Probably within the next one century, every country, big or small, must depend on nuclear technology to live a comfortable modern life. In fact, someday as population grows, humans would be using hundreds of times more energy to change the mountains and deserts for future needs. Once a technology is known and successfully deployed, it can never be un-learned. No one can stop the increasing energy of Aquarian Age or the arrival of any great age. And yet any further aggression between humans from now on, be it military, religious or political, will cause nuclear arms race and sooner or later, end up in nuclear confrontations, because once nuclear wars begin, most conventional weapons will be rendered ineffective. 

Therefore, from here on, people would not be so afraid of bullets or any conventional weapons, and each individual on earth or each responsible government should instead worry about the eventuality of mass destructive wars. It would appear that there should be no more irresponsible military actions, no more extreme measures to interfere other nations or governments by wars or political pressures. There will be no more open or secret allegiance with political dissidents or separatists or ganged political parties to engineer turbulence, civil wars or revolts. There will be no more unfair imposition of will on other human cultures, or traditions, or human freedom to live and choose their own ways of life. And above all, there will be no random and quick coalitions of wars without proper foresight and thorough investigation for the reasons and causes to start any wars. Why? Because we are already living in Aquarian Age! Not only terrorists are committing suicides, nations that make wars are suicidal too! Because once a war starts, it's difficult to stop! Once a beloved member of family is killed, hatred is buried deep for 2 to 3 generations, waiting to explode seeking satisfaction of revenge! 

If nature's evolution is to continue its positive course and human qualities are to advance, giving civilization the chance to celebrate in peace and prosperity, then other than the social laws and international treaties, which can help, what really makes it possible is the ultimate self awareness, or self control and self refinement,  in each individual human mind. Today, most humans are beginning to be aware that animals are to be cared and not killed for sports, more and more people are also beginning to feel that humans too deserve to be cared and not destroyed for political gratifications, just like some kinds of national sports. The human is human only because he or she is capable of humane feelings, love, compassions, intelligence and inner wisdom. Unlike the life of early human ancestors who were once cannibals, modern educations and technologies know how to produce adequate foods and provisions, so it's not really for the struggle of survival any more. In fact, if early cannibals can evolve to become civilized and compassionate modern humans, then civilized and compassionate humans can and will still evolve to become more benevolent, sympathetic and advanced super humans. Human civilization has already taken to mean the well being of all living beings. So, if a national leader is capable of complaints about other people's offence to human or animal rights, then he would also find it in his heart not to allow his still raw desire to cause, or prolong wars or sufferings of fellow humans, especially women and children... 

The above brief account shows how short the total development of our civilization has been in comparison with the life of our planet, let alone that of the great cosmos. Yet, in another 2000 years, or just a blink of eye in nature, our civilization could end in ashes, if we don't care and treasure it. If the humankind is to live together in the age of electromagnetic and nuclear Aquarian Age, hoping to nurture intelligent and compassionate new generations, then from here on, all people would want to refrain from deceits, aggressions or invasions, be they military, political or religious... You see, if the vast and diverse nature can co-exist and prosper in perpetual evolution and regeneration, so can the humans! Only a few short decades ago, no humans could have imagined that solar planets would be visited and explored by manmade satellites. I'll bet you anything that within centuries, or short millenniums, humans would find it possible to turn barren and desolate surface of deserts on earth, then on Moon and Mars into green pastures, because we are destined to evolve, grow and advance further and ever more! What seems unimaginable today, someday it will be plain reality! Nature is so vast for the human race to explore, enjoy and share together. Let us not waste our precious sojourn on earth in making troubles for people and for ourselves...
