At this point in time in humanity’s history and evolution, we’re at the end of the Age of Pisces. Western astrological ages are 2,000 years in time-span. In the Sun’s precessional cycle measured by Equinoxes, the ages are around 2,150 years, and there’s an ending period anything from 50 to 500 years. We’re also at the end of Kali Yuga, the descending or Dark Age.
The Yugas in the Eastern tradition have slightly different lengths, but as a phase in an overall great age, we’re coming to the end of a 12,000-year cycle of four ages, each 3,000 years and each having a quality of energy which affects humanity.
The energetic quality of the Age of Pisces has been about “Belief”: and also the age of victim/martyr and Patriarchy or male dominance. . . master and victim. After roughly 2,000 years, we’re going into the Age of Aquarius: the age of Knowledge and the enlightened individual. After the dark, we’re emerging into the light.
At the end of each age, the Great Teachers and healers come with the purpose of distilling the wisdom of the previous age to take humanity forward. This can happen from 500 years prior to the opening of the new Age. Think of the Buddha, the Great Zoroaster, Mohammed and Jesus: and also consider the timing of their appearance in our history and consciousness.
So, the teachers and healers come and they fulfil their purpose: what wisdom might they have distilled for humanity’s advancement now?
Pisces’ energetic quality is that of the most pure, having been purified by the “deluge” of previous incarnations in the other sign vibrations. Evolved and purified, this energy is for living and working at the level of the seventh spiritual law of Yoga: the law of purpose in life — Dharma.
Ancient Eastern Wisdom Paths to Freedom such as Yoga and Zen, tell us that our identity comes from understanding our Soul Essence and purpose, and personally I know this to be true. Many of us have the qualities of Pisces somewhere in our natal astrological birth charts whether Western or Vedic: we’re tuned into the “Spirit of the Times”, the Zeitgeist.
Maybe we’re collectively and naturally taking the next step forward for humanity’s advancement right now in our flow! Our Dharma is our Tao, our Ma’at in the Egyptian way, our path.

Thirty years in her own practice and teaching meditation now for more than 25 years in Ireland, Susan Ni Rahilly’s Hatha Yoga teaching is inspired by Zen.
