Klappentext

Our movement into the Age of Aquarius and higher consciousness

• Explores the 24,000-year precessional cycle and the cultural shifts that accompany the different ages

• Shows how the energies of the cosmos are guiding us into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness

• Discusses the interface between the precessional cycle and the Hindu Yuga cycle and the meaning of the profound shift that we in at this time

We are approaching the end of a 24,000-year precessional cycle and, according to ancient traditions, on the cusp of a new age. While this time of transition can lead to an evolutionary leap for humanity, it can also bring inevitable challenges for those who resist.

Astrologer and clinical psychologist Heather Ensworth shows that we live in a sentient universe where the energies of the cosmos are guiding us through this transition and into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness. By embracing these changes we can navigate the turmoil of transformation into a new age of love, harmony, and a greater awareness of our interconnectedness.

Ensworth suggests that the precessional motion that causes the astrological ages is not due to a wobble in the Earth’s axis but to the possibility that our sun is part of a binary star system, which astronomers have found are more common in the Milky Way galaxy than previously believed. The author also teaches us how to realign with the galactic center—our source—by becoming centered within and harmonizing with the changing cosmos to bring us a deeper sense of meaning and stability.

The transition into a new age does not need to be a dramatic change that simply happens to us. This book shows how we can remember our origins, find our center, and navigate this changing age with clarity and intention.
