Inhaltsangabe

La Era de Piscis est� muriendo, y la figura de Jes�s ya no sirve como ejemplo de c�mo llevar nuestras vidas. Estamos en las primeras etapas de Acuario y todav�a estamos tratando de averiguar lo que significa todo. Filos�ficamente, estos son tiempos dif�ciles, como el dicho: "Hermano, puedes ahorrarte un paradigma". Las edades astrol�gicas siempre implican una polaridad entre signos opuestos, en este caso, Acuario y Leo. La "entrop�a" es una met�fora del lado inferior de La Era de la Sociedad (Acuario), mientras que la alquimia es nuestro progreso colectivo. Los �ltimos siglos han visto los grandes avances sociales y tecnol�gicos que son el sello distintivo de Acuario, pero han ido acompa�ados de decadencia cultural y una p�rdida de significado simb�lico y verdadera individualidad. En cambio, vemos una obsesi�n cercana con las formas superficiales de autoexpresi�n (el lado inferior de Leo), que puede ser una reacci�n a la creciente uniformidad y organizaci�n omnipresente de Acuario. Otras culturas reaccionan contra la modernidad impersonal y secular de Acuario con un ferviente fundamentalismo religioso o lealtad ciega a un l�der antidemocr�tico similar a Leo; pero en cualquier caso, resolver esta dicotom�a entre Acuario y Leo, la sociedad y el individuo, es una de las claves del futuro de la civilizaci�n.

Rese�a del editor

The Age of Pisces is dying, and the figure of Jesus no longer serves as an example on how to lead our lives. We are in the early stages of Aquarius and still trying to figure out what it all means. Philosophically these are hard times, sort of like the saying, "Brother, can you spare a paradigm." The Astrological Ages always involve a polarity between opposite signs-in this case, Aquarius and Leo. "Entropy" is a metaphor for the lower side of The Age of Society (Aquarius), while alchemy is our collective progress. The past few centuries have seen the great social and technological advances that are the hallmark of Aquarius, but they have been accompanied by cultural decay and a loss of symbolic meaning and true individuality. Instead we see a near obsession with superficial forms of self-expression (the lower side of Leo), which may be a reaction to the increasing uniformity and pervasive organization of Aquarius. Other cultures react against the impersonal, secular modernity of Aquarius with a fervent religious fundamentalism or blind loyalty to an undemocratic Leo-like leader; but in either case, resolving this dichotomy between Aquarius and Leo, society and the individual, is one of the keys to civilization's future.
