### The Age

(360 A.D. – 2400 A.D.)

As the Age of Pisces started, Buddha come to the world and made a change in the East. Then came Jesus Christ in the West. All they taught was to keep away from ego and live a life of sacrifice and detachment from worldly pleasures. Pisces represents the meeting of the West and the East, two different polarities, yet bound by a common bond, much like the bonding of the two fishes swimming in opposite directions being tied by a common chord.

This age of Pisces saw Jesus Christ teaching us to love others around as if they were us and this happens to be the Piscean trait. Love as asked to be experienced trans-personally. If the world lives to the theme of this Piscean character, then it would become heaven.

Pisces rules over religion, spirituality, prophecies , prophets, drugs, illusion, imprisonment, and fear. The Age of Pisces emphasizes the crucifixion of the self as taught by Jesus Christ and non-attachment to worldly pleasures being reinforced by the Buddha of the East. The Age of Pisces saw some of the major evolutionary transformations on the Earth.

This has been the age of great world religions like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, among others. All religions teach us the Pisces illusion of worldly pleasures and how to detach ourselves from this.
