Ages / Aeons - Why is it the year 2008?

The Age of Taurus (The Taurean Age)
"The Age of Earth, Agriculture and the Bull"
Ruffly began in ca. 4300 BC and ended in ca. 2150 BC.





Historical similarities Bull worshiping cults began to form in Assyria, Egypt, and Crete which relates to Taurus symbolizing the bull. Main article: Bull (mythology)

This age is notable for the building of the pyramids, during the Old Kingdom of Egypt and the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. They personify structure, solidity, stability and attempts at eternity, keywords of Taurus. The completed Great Pyramid of Khufu, clad in smooth pure white limestone, must have been a sight of dazzling beauty in the sunlight. Beauty is another keyword of Taurus.

Taurus is associated with the metal copper, and bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) was for the first time smelted and worked into bronze swords during the early phase of this era.

Papyrus was invented during this time, enabling improved writing techniques. It could be manufactured into very long strips that could be rolled (but not yet folded) into scrolls or rolls for efficient storage and handling. (The Taurus glyph invokes the image of the partially-unrolled scroll).

Traits of Taurus such as 'stubbornness' and 'strength' but at the same time 'sensuality' may be attributed to civilizations such as Ancient Egypt's.

The Age of Aries (The Arian Age)
"The Age of War, Fire and the Ram"
Ruffly began in ca. 2150 BCE and ended in ca. AD 1.



Historical similarities Aries represents a Fire symbol as well as bold actions, a lot of these behaviors can be seen during any age. However, the themes emphasised during this age relate to courage, initiative, war & adventure. Nations during this age such as the expanding empires of China, Persia, Greece and Rome, are often cited as examples of the archetypes of Aries in action. Also the Aries constellation shows a ram running. This could correspond with the sacrifice of Abraham's Ram. While the number of names containing the sound of the ram during this period is noted: Ra (Sun God), Ram, Rama, Brahman, Abram, Abraham, Amon Ra, and Ramesses I.[dubious – discuss] The battering ram was employed by the Assyrians, Greeks and Romans with great success during this time.[dubious – discuss] (The symbol of Mars, the planetary ruler of Aries, evokes this interpretation.)

Aries is associated with the metal iron, and iron ore was for the first time smelted and worked into iron swords in Anatolia during the early phase of this era, replacing the heavier, softer-metalled, duller-edged bronze swords of the previous Taurus Age.

Traits of Aries such as 'initiative' may suggest the explosion of originality in the development of social aspects, sciences and arts in regions such as Ancient Greece but at the same time traits such as 'Impulsivity' may be attributed to the various Wars of the time.


The Age of Pisces (The Piscean Age)

"The Age of Monotheism, Spirituality, and the Fish"
Ruffly began in ca. AD 1 and ends in ca. AD 2150.





Historical similarities
The Age of Pisces is characterized by the rise of many religions such as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism due to "spiritual" nature of Pisces and its ability to go beyond the boundaries of the physical world. The Age of Pisces is mainly marked by the continuous research of mankind about the truth hidden behind what's perceived by five senses. The New Age movement "celebrating" The Age of Aquarius is claimed by some to be a characteristic of The Age of Pisces.

Traits of Pisces such as being "gentle" and artistically able but at the same time "impractical" may hint to the dominance of European empires on the world.

The Age of Aquarius (The Aquarian age)
"The Age of Freedom, Technology (especially electricity), and the Water Bearer"
Ruffly begins AD 2150.

In accordance with Deity's intention for "Progressive Evolution," each new age gives birth to a new message. That message is unique for its time and, like a beacon, leads its people through the particular circumstances of their time. For example, in the western world, the Piscean Age is associated with the brotherly love of Christianity. Judaism's Arian Age was associated with a war-like and wrathful God. During the Taurean Age, Egypt was known for its beauty and materialistic orientation on the after-life. Today, we are just barely into the Aquarian Age and the world is quickly discovering the need for a religion that can lead it through the demands of a world exploding with ever-changing knowledge and technology. We need a religion that will help us understand our connection with self, family, community, country, planet and universe. We need to come to understand how we are spiritually connected to all other life forms.

One might say there is no need for another religion... That is, there is no need for a religion as most of us currently define and understand it. However, there is great need to redefine the role of religion. Religion helps us define our relationship to Deity. It is only through Deity that we come to know how we are inextricably linked one with the other. How we treat one another does make a difference, and it is possible to have a better understanding of the science of the soul.... we no longer have to blindly believe. The Religion of the Stars teaches that you can KNOW for yourself. More importantly, you have an obligation to yourself not to accept anything on anyone else's authority.
