last time the starting-point of the sidereal zodiac agreed with the tropical zodiac occurred in AD 498. A year after these points were in exact agreement, the Sun crossed the equator about fifty seconds of space into the constellation Pisces. The year following it was one minute and forty seconds into Pisces, and so it has been creeping backwards ever since, until at the present time the Sun crosses the equator in about nine degrees in the constellation Pisces. Based on this approach, it will thus be about 600 years before it actually crosses the celestial equator in the constellation Aquarius. However this is only one of many approaches and so this must remain speculation at this point of time. Table of past ages The following table of astrological ages was compiled by Neil Mann, and are based on typical durations cited for each era, as well as developments in human history based cited as being influenced by the vernal equinox sign thereof. He notes that the supposed influences of the zodiac signs on human history are biased and rely on widely varying dates, as well as selective cherry picking of evidence. Present and future ages Age of Pisces (Piscean Age) Symbol for Pisces: When the March equinox occurs in Pisces. Timeframes Zodiacal 30 degrees: Neil Mann interpretation: began c. AD 1 and ends c. AD 2150 Heindel-Rosicrucian interpretation: began c. AD 498 and ends c. AD 2654 Age of Aquarius (Aquarian Age) Symbol for Aquarius: When the March equinox occurs in Aquarius. Timeframes In 1928, at the Conference of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in Leiden, the Netherlands, the edges of the 88 official constellations became defined in astronomical terms. The edge established between Pisces and Aquarius locates the beginning of the Aquarian Age around the year 2600. The Austrian astronomer, Professor Hermann Haupt, examined the question of when the Age of Aquarius begins in an article published in 1992 by the Austrian Academy of Science: with the German title ("The Start of the Aquarian Age, an Astronomical Question?"). Based on the boundaries accepted by IAU in 1928, Haupt's article investigates the start of the Age of Aquarius by calculating the entry of the spring equinox point over the parallel cycle (d = - 4°) between the constellations Pisces and Aquarius and reaches, using the usual formula of precession (Gliese, 1982), the year 2595. However Haupt concludes: Zodiacal 30
