The current rise of violence, political instability and economic uncertainty is a temporary phenomenon, and a new more just, prosperous and happy civilization has already been born. So, you may expect monumental positive changes not in some distant future, but in a year at most. Some of these changes are already taking place, we just need a few months to realize the real significance of them.

New Hope

The Aquarian Age emerged in November 1989 with the fall of Berlin Wall caused by very rare astrological phenomena, the likes of which the world has not seen for five thousand years. From 1977 through 1993, a very short moment on the cosmic scale, Pluto reached its perihelion, the point of its closest proximity to the Sun, and the triple conjunction of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune took place. In about the same time, Eris, a newly discovered planet the size of Pluto, has reached its aphelion, the point of its ultimate separation from the Sun. Last time, a similar configuration of these five planets took place in 3336-3321 B.C. marking the rise of our civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

This Aquarian Age will last for more than eight centuries ending in 2856, and these will be the years of world peace, economic prosperity and cooperation between nations. Indeed, the first two decades of this Age were very promising with very supportive harmonious influences of the slow-moving planets. As is true for all long-term astrological cycles, the very beginning of the cycle sets up a tone for the rest of the cycle. So, we may expect that all these positive developments of the 1980s and 1990s, will continue evolving through the end of this cycle for many centuries to come. 

Empire Strikes Back

This 20-year period from 1979 through 1999, 10 years before and after Pluto perihelion in 1989, was a period of political stability and economic cooperation the like of which we rarely saw in human history. Unfortunately, it ended in 1999 when Neptune and Pluto entered their septile aspect (51.4° angel between two planets, 1/7 of the circle). In March of that year, NATO alliance entered the Kosovo War between Serbia and its rebellious province of Kosovo on the side of Kosovo. Since then all the foreign policies of major nuclear powers, such as the U.S., Russia and China appeared clearly imperialistic. Meanwhile, Turkey and Iran not only openly declared their imperial ambitions, but also took concrete steps toward reclaiming their former imperial glory. 

Fortunately, this imperial septile ended in 2016. Unfortunately, the strife for the imperial glory did not end with it since most of the slow-moving planets of our solar system, such as Uranus, Neptune, Eris and Sedna formed stressful aspects to three fixed stars, Algol, Arcturus and Scheat, associated with wars, civil strife, pandemics and many other disasters. Fortunately for us, all these stressful aspects will dissipate by mid-2026.

Return of the Jedi

Here, I am not talking about the Lucas movie with this title. Instead, I refer to Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris and Sedna forming harmonious aspects between each other similar to what took place in the 1980s and 1990s, and maintaining these positions until 2031. As the result, the level of violence and civil strife will diminish dramatically; most of the wars, perhaps all of them, will end; and America and the world will enter the six-year period of peace and prosperity the like of which the world has never seen.
