People born under the sign of Aquarius have a tendency to feel special, as though they are set apart from everyone else. They tend to be independent and have a strong desire to protect other people. They enjoy having fun with their friends, but will often express hard limitations and an adherence to following the rules. | People born under the sign of Aquarius have a tendency to feel special, as though they are set apart from everyone else.

[[New Age]] thought typically envisions the world as developing through cosmological cycles that can be identified through astrology. It adopts this concept from [[Theosophy]], although often presents it in a looser and more eclectic way than is found in Theosophical teaching. | |||
Although characterised as being a negative period for humanity, our current Age of [[Pisces]] is an important learning experience for the species and a common belief is that humanity has entered, or is about to enter, a new period known as the Age of Aquarius. Depending on the philosophy, this will either be an age of struggles or a New Age of love, joy, peace, abundance, and harmony. In accepting this belief in a coming new age, the ''milieu'' shares some similarities with apocalyptic or "Doomsday" movements. | |||
[[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] philosopher Samael Aun Weor declared 4 February 1962 to be the beginning of the "Age of [[Aquarius]]," heralded by the alignment of the first six planets, the [[Sun]], the [[Moon]] and the constellation Aquarius. In his view, the Aquarian age is supposed to herald a world ruled by secretive, power-hungry elites seeking absolute power over others; that knowledge in the Aquarian age will only be valued for its ability to win wars; that knowledge and science will be abused, not industry and trade; and that the Aquarian age will be another dark age in which religion is considered offensive. | |||
