Oh boy....all of these thoughts have been something on my mind for a while now.
As much as I feel the wheel in the sky can be a clock for us I am unsure that we can have a for sure starting point and for sure restarting point.
The sun does not sit in each sign equally. Pisces for example, is a huge sign, it takes well over 2100 years to get through Pisces. This sign alone has brought much confusion....because people are thinking Aquarius is now apone us in this life time. Aquarius is in fact, still a few hundred years away (we will be on the cusp around 2500-2600). Scorpio is a very small sign, the age of Scorpio will not last even 2000 years. We also have the sun in Ophiuchus, and will have an Ophiuchus age at some point....but how often do you see Ophiuchus in a zodiac.
But how do we know when this clock started keeping count? If we are to think that Aqaurius is the new start of a clock....then we are to assume that Aquarius was the starting point of this clock 26000 yrs ago? Some think the clock started at Leo...some think it started in Virgo....many relgiions think it started at Aries. It all seems to lead in a circle!
Lately I have been looking at the Mayan calendars. It is interesting that even though they didnt talk about constellations of the sky...they did divide their long count calendar into 13 Baktuns. If we now consider there is really 13 signs in the path of the sun as well as 13 lunar months....mabey the ciricle clock is really divided into equal segments and the signs were added later, bringing much confusion. Each Baktun is 144,000 days each (hmmm does that number ring a bell?) Some say past cultures counted a year with 360 days. If this was so....360 divides nicely into 144,000 days. I cant help but to wonder if there was more to the 13 Baktuns and the 144,000 days in each Baktun.
When I use the zodiac...I see us at a half way point....we are directly across on the clock from where the cycle started. When looking for the age of Aquarius...we are still a ways off (but have time to get the world ready). If looking at the 13 Baktuns, then its possible we could be at a time of great transfiguration's.
In the end...I am clueless as which is the best for understanding our cycles of time...but it all still draws me in like trees draw in the birds from the skys.
It seems embedded in the minds of humans that there is a cycle to be found in the sky.
