The Book of Aquarius: Alchemy and the Philosophers' Stone (Classic Reprint)

Product Information

A common position expressed by many astrologers sees the Age of Aquarius as that time when humanity takes control of the Earth and its own destiny as its rightful heritage, with the destiny of humanity being the revelation of truth and the expansion of consciousness, and that some people will experience enlightenment in advance of others and therefore be recognized as the new leaders in the world. [13] Astrologers believe that an astrological age affects humanity, possibly by influencing the rise and fall of civilizations or cultural tendencies. Another view suggests that the rise of scientific rationalism, combined with the fall of religious influence, the increasing focus on human rights since the 1780s, the exponential growth of technology, plus the advent of flight and space travel, are evidence of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. [15] [16]

There are three popular methods of creating the stone, and a few less popular ways. The more popular ways are easier, tried and true, or are exceptionally fast. Proponents of medieval astrology suggest that the Pisces world where religion is the opiate of the masses will be replaced in the Aquarian Age by a world ruled by secretive, power-hungry elites seeking absolute power over others; that knowledge in the Aquarian Age will only be valued for its ability to win wars; that knowledge and science will be abused, not industry and trade; and that the Aquarian Age will be a Dark Age in which religion is considered offensive. [14] There is an alchemical stone for each metal and substance, The Philosopher's Stone is one of gold and the most popular for its regenerative and transmutative properties.

These lines are considered by critics to be poetic license, although some people have taken them literally. An example is the identification of Valentine's Day2009 as the "perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius". [22] [23] The Age of Aquarius, in astrology, is either the current or forthcoming astrological age, depending on the method of calculation. Astrologers maintain that an astrological age is a product of the Earth's slow precessional rotation and lasts for 2,160 years, on average (one Great Year equals 25,920-year period of precession / 12 zodiac signs = 2,160 years).

The ReadDown Books for Aquarius Aquarius, you’re known for having unusual tastes. The book everyone else is reading may not be for you. You’re a bigger fan of the underdog — the small press, the lesser-known poet, the weird genre-breaker. If it’s different, it might be in your to-read pile. The most important thing is that an author has a unique voice. As the humanitarian and social organizer of the zodiac, you’re also keen to stay on top of social issues. Stories of rebels and change-makers suit you. Astrologer Brittany Goss has some book recommendations that push the envelope. Eight researchers claim the Aquarian age will arrive in the 25th century while the 21st, 26th, and 27th centuries have seven supporters each. Other centuries that have a number of supporters for the beginning of the Aquarian age include: 22nd and 23rd centuries (6 each); 19th century (5); and the 18th century (4). [4]
