Old and New.

Jesus said: "'Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.'"  Matthew 13:52 (NRSV)

Jesus was saying that the new revelation revealed in him did not wipe out the old revelation of the prophets but that they were to take the best of both.

Jesus often referred to what we call the Old Testament.

For example when he was asked which was the greatest commandment he quoted Deuteronomy:

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your  might."  Deuteronomy 6:5 (NRSV)

And Leviticus:

"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."  Leviticus 19:18 (NRSV)

But Jesus also said: "'Neither is new wine put into old wineskins, otherwise the skins burst, and the wine is spoiled, and the skins are destroyed, but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.'"  Matthew 9:17 (NRSV)

And so it is with the new revelation of Aquarius.

Aquarius is co-ruled by Uranus (the new) and Saturn (the old).

So we can take from the new revelation what is good and from the old revelation what is good.
