Astrology.

Before you say, "We are Christians we don't believe in astrology" it may be profitable to look at the Bible and the New Testament in particular.

According to the theory of precession of the vernal equinox the Old Testament was written in the Age of Aries.
There are many references rams, rams horns (the shofar), blood sacrifice, red, war, beginnings (Abraham)(Adam and Eve), Palestine, the head (anointing).....

But it is in the New Testament that we really find astrological symbols from the sign of Pisces (the Fish):
(The fish was an early symbol of the Christian community.)
Fish, fishermen, nets, water (baptism), the sea (of Galilee) Jerusalem, boats, feet (washing), wine, vines, vineyards, evil spirits, the Holy Spirit, washing hands (Pilate), faith, healing, prayer.....

Not only this but the sign opposite Pisces - Virgo - which forms a duality with Pisces is also featured:
The Virgin Mary, the virgin birth, earth parables (seeds, growth, harvesting), hair-splitting arguments (the Pharisees, schisms).....

So when I say that we are entering the Age of Aquarius and point out the prominence of the symbols from that sign:
Homosexuality, equality, freedom, socialism, revolution, Russia, Sweden, humanism, humanitarianism, altruism, charity, rainbows, rain, water, earthquakes, the new, the future, technology, space travel, the internet, mental illness, brain plasticity.....
I am justified in suggesting that God is working through these symbols in a new way.

Astrology itself is governed by Aquarius.
