Christianity is based in astrological symbolism. From the very beginning when the astrologers from the east followed a star to Jesus' birthplace through Jesus' teachings of the end of the Age of Pisces astrology guided the entire life of the founder of Christianity.

Most of the Old Testament documents the Age of Aries. Symbolized by the Ram, Aries, a fire sign, creates an atmosphere of war, conflict, and conquest. During this time, the Old Testament tells of Kings and the wars of those kings. It tells of sacrificial lambs (related to the Ram of Aries) and the herding of sheep. This was not an accident. It was a marker left by the storytellers to let the reader know when these events happened. Calendars change with the winds of political change-astrological Ages do not. Jesus closed the Age of Aries and ushered in the Age of Pisces. The circumstance of the birth of Jesus notes that this is a spiritual truth. Those we now call "The Three Wise Men" followed a star and brought the future prophet gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These "Wise Men" were also called "the Magi" which, in Greek (the language of the New Testament) means "astrologer".

Gold was spoken of first because, spiritually, gold opens the third eye and the crown chakras. This is essential if one is to ever attain full enlightenment and evolve into a perfected human. Frankincense represents the root chakra-that which anchors the physical body to the earth. The human survival mechanism is housed in the root chakra. Myrrh helps achieve balance in the heart chakra. It helps with the ability to give and receive love. The message of the Magi was that Myrrh plus Frankincense plus Jesus equals Gold. Or, in the Age of Pisces, Jesus would lead Mankind in anchoring the energy of Love to three-dimensional Earth and aid in the Enlightenment of the whole of the human race. So, according to the world's astrologers, Jesus was to usher in the Age of Pisces which would result in the enlightenment of all of mankind.

The teachings of Jesus prove this out. In the beginning of his ministry the symbolism of the fish was everywhere. Pisces, two fish swimming in opposite directions, describes the Age in which Good and Evil fight until the day in which the two are united in man for the greater good. Jesus chose "fishermen" as disciples and made them "fishers of men". He took five loaves and two fish and fed the multitudes. (There are seven chakras in the human body-five bodily and two spiritual). These are obvious references to the Age of Pisces. And, then there's the "End of the Age" predictions. The end of the Age of Pisces is the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. The Age of Aquarius is symbolized by Man pouring water (spirituality) into the universe.

If Jesus did his job properly then at the end of the Age of Pisces mankind will be ready to step up and take control of his own spirituality. He will no longer need a "Father" to tell him what to do but, like Jesus himself, mankind and "The Father" will be One. Man will recognize the face of God in every living creature in the universe and treat it with the respect it deserves. Mankind will abandon the old ways of war and hate and strive for the good of all. For the first time in a millenium, Man will create a heaven on earth. And that is because the New Testament speaks a spiritual and astrological Truth.
