If it is the former, then we have a least a 150 years to go (has also been estimated as a greater number, depending on whether the measurement of the constellation Aquarius begins with its first star or an arbitrary border) . I agree with you that the late 18th Century marked a profound Uranian change, well represented by the discovery of Uranus. But I rather see these changes as symbolize by the discovery of Uranus alone, rather than as a mark of Aquarius (which I now see as strongly related to Saturn, as it was originally intended. Saturn takes on different characteristics when involvings Capricorn or Aquarius, and it prefers Aquarius). I do observe a link between Uranus and Aquarius, but I do not take this planet as its primary steward. Since Uranus, we have discovered Neptune and Pluto. Do these planets have less importance in our evolution than Uranus? Besides, if the Age of Enlightment is to herald what's to come with the Age of Aquarius, then get me off this ship! Marilynn
