Astrologers agreed that the Earth has already seen the six ages of human existence from the Cavemen up to the present. Currently, we exist in transition between the Pisces and the Aquarius ages. The calculations, defining the end of one age and the beginning of another one, may differ. According to some the Piscean age ended long ago, while others claim that we still live in it.
In astrological mythology, Astrological age is a period of time of approximately 2160 years, comparable with the development of the inhabitants of the planet Earth, relative to their culture, civilization, and governments. Each age is associated with one of the twelve zodiac signs. Thus, each age will be repeated after the completion of the entire cycle, or in 25,920 years. The astrological age cycle proceeds in a retrograde direction. If forward movement is from Ares -> Taurus -> Gemini -> Cancer -> Leo, etc. then retrograde direction is inverted Leo -> Cancer ->Gemini-> Taurus -> Ares, etc.
As of today, we are near the end of the 6th movement of the ages and are approaching (or are at the beginning of) the New Age. The previous 6 movements of Astrological Ages are the following:
• The Age of Leo (Approximately start in 10,800 BC up to 8640 BC)

It is the period of peace, harmony, stability on the planet. The size of the population was small and everything on Earth was in abundance and no starvation or crime existed in this era. People obtained food by hunting, gathering and agriculture. During this era, people developed primitive tools like stone knives, hammers, and javelins. Although the technology was rudimentary, it is amazing what people could achieve with it. Their works are now being discovered and show to the world, such as wall paintings in caves. The Earth was young, and no development of pollution was the products of this age.
