The Age of Aquarius 2024-2044: Two Decades of Drastic Societal Change
And an explosion in spiritual awareness as well as enormous and rapid tech growth.
Pluto hasn’t been in Aquarius for five minutes in the grand scheme of things and yet we’ve already had a good taste of the great changes that lie ahead for our species. We’ve already got A.I. (although it’s not sentient—yet), we’re experiencing advancements in quantum computing and gene editing and now we’re witnessing the beginning of E.T. disclosure, and lots more besides.
To be honest, our recent technological developments alone have made my head spin but I think that big changes always take some getting used to — especially for people like me who grew up thinking that color Gameboys were some form of magic! I recently read about Google’s Quantum chip which can explore countless possible solutions all at once by using the odd laws of quantum physics, solving certain complex problems much faster than a normal computer. What would otherwise take trillions of years to solve with a regular PC, can now be accurately calculated in just seconds! It’s astonishing.
The zodiac sign Aquarius is, of course, the sign of societal change, technology, friendships, social networks, sudden change and unpredictability. And I think we’re seeing the influence of Aquarius in Pluto in our daily lives now. For instance, it’s evident, at least in the West, that people today are a lot more tolerant towards different lifestyles than they ever were before. We’re becoming increasingly connected via the Internet and apps and our tech is rapidly advancing in all directions. Although, worryingly, we can’t be certain what will come of all this advancement, especially with all the concern surrounding A.I., quantum computing and E.T.s.
While plenty might find the New Age an unsteady and vastly different time to the one they were comfortable in a mere decade ago, there are plenty of increases in spiritual awakenings too, which is also very much what the age of Aquarius is about. It’s vitally important that while our tech grows so rapidly, that our hearts grow with it, and we don’t let our humanity begin to come second (that’s were the Greys went wrong in another timeline). More and more people are experiencing spiritual awakenings, and those who already are spiritual, or know how vitally important it is that our humanity grows along with our technology. We don’t want to end up living in a world devoid of emotion and heartfelt connection with other humans, animals and nature.
As we draw closer to official disclosure and eventually, open contact with our E.T. cousins, we’re seeing more and more UFOs (I refuse to call them UAPs or whatever the latest abbreviation is as I was raised in the 90s and UFOs they shall remain). They seem to be saying hello and getting us used to the fact that they are, in fact, around. There’s little doubt, in my mind at least, that with their eventual introduction will come vast degrees of change on the bustling and beautiful rock we call home. Their introduction alone will cause a stir and make people re-think their lives, behaviour, and place in the cosmos.
But, the technology and advanced knowledge, including spiritual knowledge, that they are likely to give us will change our lives beyond anything we could possibly imagine at this point in time. While this might sound worryingly woo-woo to some, and I understand that, it’s a fact that U.S. officials, and other officials across Earth, are starting to talk about E.T.s openly. So, I think we’re being prepped for their eventual arrival. I also feel intuitively that it won’t be long at all before they are formally introduced to us all.
Aquarius is also a very headstrong and morally upright sign. It likes people and things to function with integrity. It also likes to share, and for things to be fair. It strongly pushes against immorality. It strives for change, and in this New Age, this all culminates in almost one thing; a massive increase in societal cooperation.
Long gone are the days where it’s just about the Self. The Aquarian age is about the collective. It’s about us all living more harmoniously and congruently as a species. It’s going to be more about what’s best for us as a species and the one and only planet on which we reside. The old way of “I’m alright, Jack” is out the door and I think this is becoming increasingly evident in the world around us. For example, more and more businesses — as you’ve probably noticed — are giving back in various ways, for example, by donating a certain percentage of their annual profits to charity. They also seem more environmentally conscious than ever before and are more service to others oriented rather than being exclusively about profit maximization. Even just ten years ago, this wasn’t quite the case. Hustle culture was big and people were still thinking mostly about themselves and their own bank balances.
Individuals are thinking more about others and the planet too. Nowadays, it’s more about sharing, slow living, and taking care of each other, the planet and the animals. More people are becoming aware of global warming and so they’re recycling more, and being more conservative with their use of resources like gas and water. Electric cars are becoming more popular and it’s only a matte of time before most people start opting for them over gas guzzlers. So, in my opinion, there has already been a noticeable shift in our thought patterns and behavior on the whole.
Of course, the new age won’t be all rainbows and sunshine because people are having to adjust to lots of very different things — and at lightening pace. Some people are adjusting to our new world relatively easily while others are finding themselves a bit hesitant. To be completely honest, as forward-thinking as I like to think of myself, I’m a bit worried about AI being used for nefarious activities or just rendering creative people like myself completely obsolete.
Recently, with Roe v Wade being overturned, and tariffs being applied to various countries, we’ve seen major political changes, and it’s extremely likely that this new age may present more major political changes and challenges. But this is what we all signed up for before we came here. We wanted to experience polarity, and we wanted to be here for the great change that is about to occur on this master class of a planet. We wanted to be here to witness the rise in consciousness, to help facilitate it, and to ensure a smooth transition into the 5th dimension, which may very well mean heaven on Earth.
More and more people are “sticking it to the man” by choosing self employment over a dull 9 to 5 job. After all, who in their right minds wants wake up at some ungodly hour to travel on a packed train full of sweaty armpits before reaching a windowless office? For most, a boring job was historically obtained out of necessity; to pay a mortgage, to feed children, to get a retirement fund, and to avoid ending up toothless and living on toast, and so on. You catch my drift. The internet and social media really helped to create a whole mass of entrepreneurs or at least increase household incomes via online projects and social media channels. It has liberated many a cat parent, stay at home mom, pottery maker, and train spotter by providing them with a decent income. More than ever before, we can make money from the things we’re passionate about thanks to ad revenue, affiliate commission and however else we choose to monetize our content or flog our stuff! It’s great!
Women in particular have benefitted from this. Just a few decades ago, and certainly a century ago, we couldn’t even graduate from University or have a bank account of our own. The jobs that were available to women back then were pretty limited and positions were scarce for them because of the fierce competition for them and the fact that a lot of people still preferred to hire men. And while the wage gap still exists today, we’re still doing and being more than ever before.
During this new age, we can all spread our wings and live our dreams and this is set to explode over the next two decades with an increase in freedom, independence and technology that will help us, heal us and keep us entertained. The song It’s the Age of Aquarius by 5th dimension from the 1960s shows how long people have anticipated this crucial cosmic shift. It was frequently talked about –and, I think, longed for — during my parent’s hey day in the swinging 60s and hippy 70s. Think about how incredibly lucky we are to finally witness it unfolding in person. Wonderful.
