There are twelve astrological "ages", each one lasting for a little over 2,000 years. However, due to various reasons, forces, factors etc. A particular "Age" can be longer or shorter than that, and not necessarily the same each time round. The twelve "ages" run in reverse order to the usual signs of the zodiac.
The zodiac signs run in the order: Aries; Taurus; Gemini; Cancer; Leo; Virgo; Libra; Scorpio; Sagittarius; Capricorn; Aquarius; and Pisces. The reverse order applies to the "Ages", meaning that before the age of Aquarius we had the age of Pisces, and after the age of Aquarius will come the age of Capricorn.
Some astrologers believe that "Ages" affect mankind in general and also individuals to some degree or other. Whilst others do not believe that individuals are affected so much as civilizations, for example the great Roman Empire was at its most powerful in the "age" of Pisces.
Of course this is all open to interpretation, which makes this such a fascinating subject. Personally I don't see how great bodies of people i.e. civilizations, can be affected without the individuals that make up that civilization being affected. It is possible of course that each individual is affected in a similar way. So each interpretation could be correct.
Many astrologers take the view that the age of Aquarius is the age when humankind takes control of the Earth, and it's own destiny.
