We are entering into a New Age ... The age referred to in the gospel tale is that of Pisces, and through the contrivance and duplicity, coercion and slaughter, the fish-god Jesus, the Piscean Solar Avatar, has indeed been with us, but now it is the close of the age, and his time is over. Acharya S, The Christ Conspiracy
It was an age of miracles. It was an age of art. It was an age of excess. And it was an age of satire. We were the most powerful nation. Who could tell us any longer what was fashionable and what was fun? It was a whole race going hedonistic. Deciding on pleasure. The jazz age now raced along under its own power served by great filling stations full of money. F Scott Fitzgerald, Echoes of the Jazz Age
It’s the golden age of human deviancy. (Humanity & Age) Rab C Nesbitt s5e5: Racket, BBC 1996

The best and soundest of his time hath been but rash; then must we look to receive from his age not alone the imperfection of long-engrafted condition, but therewithal unruly waywardness that inform and choleric years bring with them. William Shakespeare, The History of King Lear I i 285, Goneril
Yet I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs,
And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns. Alfred Lord Tennyson, Locksley Hall, 1842
The modern ideas about the Age of Pisces or the Age of Aquarius are based upon the location of the vernal equinox in the regions of the stars of those constellations. But the regions, the borders between those constellations, are a completely modern convention of the International Astronomical Union for the purpose of mapping and never had any astrological significance. Dr Noel M Swerdlow
The Precession of the Equinoxes - the ancient Egyptians along with other cultures long before them noticed that approximately every 2100 years the sunrise on the morning of the Spring Equinox would appear in a different sign of the zodiac ... They referred to every 2100-year period as an Age ... And in and around A.D. 2150 we will enter a new age – the age of Aquarius. Peter Joseph, Zeitgeist
