This is a phenomenon that can only be fully observed over a 26,000-year long period. We don’t have that much time, so I’ll keep it short, presented  in terms that even Bawb understands. We are going to create a Movie, so we can time travel. Interested?

​

We have a very special camera, I call it…’The Zodiac Lens’. With this camera, we can observe the entire ring of constellations in the zodiac, including the imaginary stick figures they represent and, this is important…you can also see the border that separates each. Remember, you can only see the zodiac.

​

Act 2022 – Scene 1:
Only on the Vernal Equinox, the first day of spring, we take a picture, pointing east just before the rising sun. We see the constellation above the sun, we see the stick figure and the border. We continue to take these pictures, 1 picture each year for thousands of years and only on the vernal equinox. Now we have accumulated enough pictures to create our movie. See how easy that was. Let’s watch.

​

Initially you would note the relative placement of the sun within the boundaries of the constellation Pisces. The sun is in that same spot, at this time of year, each year, throughout our entire lives…it doesn’t move…or does it? Let’s have some fun, and time travel.

 

Let’s play our Movie … fast forward and … wait a minute … what’s happening? The constellation Pisces is slowly moving to the left or … counter-clockwise. Watch further and you see as the sun seems to move further to the right within Pisces but it’s actually Pisces moving to the left. Now watch…watch…Pisces has moved all the way to the left now and the sun has reached the border to the constellation Aquarius. The dawn of the ‘Age of Aquarius’, the date – Mar 21, 2598.

 

But the sun doesn’t move…all the constellations slowly turn counter-clockwise at a rate of 1 degree in 72 yrs, which explains why we will never be able to observe this Precession of the Equinoxes. Each of the 12, (13), constellations will have it’s time hosting the sun on the spring equinox but it will take 26,000 years for each to have it’s turn. 

​

We are not done with our movie, let’s time travel again. Let’s go backwards at high speed and watch as Pisces now moves to the right the further back in time we go…and then we stop. The sun is now directly on the border separating Aires and Pisces, the dawn of the Age of Pisces and the year is 67BCE. Now move forward in time and watch as Pisces continues to move to the left until present day and the sun is located 2/3 through Pisces. It took 2089 years to get there.

​

Each year, the sun travels the same path through the zodiac, called the ecliptic. The moon and planets follow the same path but can be above below the ecliptic. When the moon is directly on the ecliptic on the new moon, we see an eclipse of the sun. Our planet leans on its axis and when you extend our equator out into space it will intersect the ecliptic at 2 points. So, on this ecliptic, there is a point called First Point of Aries and when the sun is on this point…it’s Mar 21 (sometimes 20)…and it’s the Vernal Equinox. The second point, located opposite, or 180 degrees away, represents the point of the Autumnal Equinox on Sept. 21.  When the sun is on either of these points along its journey through the Zodiac, it’s called the Equinox and days and nights share equal lengths.

Because of a wobble the Earth experiences, the constellations slowly shift over time (26000-years) causing this Point of Aires to move to the right through the constellations until it has gone full circle. This point of the equinox is currently in Pisces but will continue to appear to move clockwise through Pisces as Pisces slides counter clockwise, but only after…time. This is the Precession of the Equinoxes.

​

The reference I make to an ‘Age’ refers to the constellation the sun resides in, on the Vernal Equinox. We all live in the Age of Pisces.
