If I could find one who knew, I'd be more inclined to trust an astronomer than a channeler. I've heard this: Hipparchus of Nicaea discovered precession while the Vernal equinox was in Aries, using our present wheel. In 129 BCE he also mapped 850 fixed stars onto this wheel. The beginning of the Aquarian Age cannot be more than 2156 years after his death based on an Annus Magnum of 25,868 years. So any answers later than one age after his death would have to be Hooey. That means we're somewhere between close to it and long past it. If it hasn't been done one might be able to find O degrees Aries in 129 BCE by using an Average of the Hipparchus observations (since they be moving every which way since then) and comparing to present locations. Ptolemy (in Great Books series) preserves these fixed star placements. Am interested in any theories which include discussions of Hipparchus. Or any corrections to what I've found so far.
