Overview

The current astrological Age of Pisces, following the Age of Aries, began in 498 AD, since that was the last time that, astronomically, the vernal equinox occurred in the first point of the constellation Aries. This conception is accepted by western esoteric astrologers ^[1] and by eastern ones, although some eastern astrology conceive that each astrological age may be leaded by the constellation sign in which the autumn equinox occurs (the autumn equinox occurs in the sourthern hemisphere at the same time that the vernal equinox, as used in the western astrology, is occurring in the northern hemisphere).
