	Hi-
	I've puzzled long on this one too, and been most annoyed at
results of research.  If I could find one who knew, I'd be more
inclined to trust an astronomer than a channeler.
	I've heard this: Hipparchus of Nicaea discovered precession while
the Vernal equinox was in Aries, using our present wheel.  In 129 BCE he
also mapped 850 fixed stars onto this wheel. The beginning of the
Aquarian Age cannot be more than 2156 years after his death based on an
Annus Magnum of 25,868 years.  So any answers later than one age
after his death would have to be Hooey.  That means we're somewhere
between close to it and long past it.
	If it hasn't been done one might be able to find O degrees Aries
in 129 BCE by using an Average of the Hipparchus observations (since they
be moving every which way since then) and comparing to present locations.
Ptolemy (in Great Books series) preserves these fixed star placements.
	Am interested in any theories which include discussions of
Hipparchus. Or any corrections to what I've found so far.
	Bradford Hatcher
