The Precession of the Equinoxes

The Precession of the Equinoxes The precession of the equinoxes is a slow astronomical motion caused by a gradual wobble in Earth’s rotational axis. Over time, this wobble shifts the position of the spring (vernal) equinox relative to the background constellations. As a result, the Sun appears to move backward through the zodiac—from Pisces to Aquarius, then Capricorn, and so on—completing one full cycle roughly every 25,772 years. This great celestial rhythm is known as the Great Year or Platonic Year. Each Zodiac Age—the era in which the vernal equinox aligns with a particular constellation—lasts approximately 2,147 to 2,160 years. These slight variations are believed to be influenced by the Sun’s elliptical motion and the electromagnetic dynamics of its orbit through the galaxy. We are now in the midst of transitioning from the Age of Pisces (which began around 130 BCE) into the Age of Aquarius. Some suggest this shift began around 2012 CE, while others associate it with the awakening wave of 2020. But like the changing seasons on Earth, the shift from one Age to the next doesn’t happen on a single day. Just as autumn doesn’t arrive the moment the calendar marks September 21st, cosmic seasons unfold gradually. The energies of a new Age build over time, and their effects are felt long before and after any "official" date. Animation Credits: Steven Sanders @StevenSanders
