When the Aquarian Age begins . . .

No one really knows when the Piscean Age ends and the Aquarian Age begins. Astrologers have been arguing about the issue for years.

But here's what to watch for: When the transition gets underway, fewer and fewer people will be invested in belief systems, and an ever-growing contingent will thrive on asking questions and keeping an open mind.

For those of us in the latter category -- the Aquarian Agers -- we will prize the virtues of curiosity.

We will avoid being addicted to dogmatic theories and rigid certainties, knowing that they tend to shut down our fluid intelligence.

We will get a kick out of shedding our own emotional biases so that we can strive to be more objective in our understanding of the ever-evolving truth.
