It has been prophesied by astrologers that a new revelation will enter human awareness in the Age of Aquarius.
Predictions vary about the date of this event.
But one prediction is that 2000 years from the birth of Jesus of Nazareth (7 BCE) the new revelations will begin.
This coincides with the Uranus/Neptune conjunction of 1993 which was followed by Jupiter/Neptune in Aquarius (2009) and Jupiter/Uranus in Pisces (2010).
The transits of Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune through the sign of Aquarius lasted from 1996 until 2010.
So, at the very least, this is an important time of transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.
And many think that the transit of Uranus through Aries (beginnings) marked the beginning of the New Age.
The entry of the Vernal Equinox into the sign of Aquarius does not occur until 2376 CE.
But it must be remembered that the Vernal Equinox did not enter Pisces until 200 years after the birth of Jesus which occurred when the Vernal Equinox entered the constellation of Pisces which overlaps the sign of Aries.
So there is a strong precedent for the assertion that the Age of Aquarius has begun.
What can we expect from this New Age?
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which governs: equality, freedom, democracy, liberalism, humanitarianism, homosexuality, technology, psychic phenomena, the future, astrology, and genius.
But it is co-ruled by Saturn (the ancient ruler) which governs: men, the father, responsibility, self-discipline, ambition, realism, time, fate, reputation, and the past.
Both are social planets, both seek to save the world, both are other-oriented, and both represent aspects of time.
It is interesting that Aquarius governs parliament in which both conservatives and liberals are represented.
Perhaps we will see in the New Age a reconciling of these two planets in some unexpected ways.
We can note that the prominent asteroid Chiron circles between the planets Saturn and Uranus overlapping the orbits of both.
Chiron was a Centaur in Greek mythology who was a wise teacher - he was called the Wounded Healer because he could heal others but not himself.
Manifestations of Chiron energy relate to such things as a desire to help others which results from a personal wounding experience.
It seeks to heal the wounds of humanity.
Perhaps Chiron can help to heal the rift between Saturn and Uranus in the future.
The new revelations of Progressive Christianity have developed under the Uranus/Neptune influence and although Aquarius does not rule religion (religion is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune) it must be remembered that the planet Neptune is exalted in Aquarius.
This means that Neptunian concerns like religion and spirituality manifest in the best possible ways in Aquarius.
Aquarius also has a vision of a Utopian Society in the future.
This is something to look forward to.
These things are the basis of the Aquarian prophecy.
We will find evidence of them in our recent lives and in the time to come.
