2016 has been a crazy year. There’s no denying that! Some of you may have had a good year personally, but on a global scale, it was an unpredictable twelve months. With everything that has happened this year, many people are a little worried about what is going to happen in 2017. Some people are looking forward to it and want to have a fresh start. But some people are extremely anxious about how the new year will be. Will it be as tumultuous as 2016 was? Thinking about it can really freak you out. But astrologers have some good news for anyone who is worried. 2017 marks the beginning of a new Age of Aquarius-a time of growth and positive change for humanity. Here are a few developments we might see in 2017 judging by the astrological calendar:
- We will continue to see the breakdown of gender roles.
Aquarius doesn’t play by the rules, and in the Age of Aquarius, we will see people playing with society’s concept of “gender” and challenging what it means to be a man or a woman. People are fed up with stereotypes, and we will see more and more people breaking out of the boxes that society tries to force them into. This will be especially apparent in the artistic world, but we will also see it in many other areas of society as the year goes on.
- We will see even more dependence on technology.
But we don’t have to regard it as a bad thing. Yes, you may see it as scary and futuristic-sometimes it feels like we’re already living in an episode of Black Mirror!-but technology can be a positive thing. The Age of Aquarius is all about innovation-Aquarius is always looking to the future, naturally staying ahead of the curve. So in 2017, we will see some extremely important technological developments that could prove to be revolutionary. We must also gain a better of understanding of balancing our dependence on technology with self-reliance.
- More and more people will challenge the established “authority.”
This phenomenon really took off in 2016, but it will gain strength in 2017. In 2016, many were focused on “reforming” existing systems, but 2017 will be all about breaking down existing systems. Aquarius has no time for pointless authority, so in the Age of Aquarius, the people will feel more motivated to take back their power and live the way they want to.
- Many people will contemplate changing careers.
Aquarius is an unpredictable, ever-changing sign. In the Age of Aquarius, people will question the path they are on. For people who felt they were pushed down a different path than the one they wanted for themselves, this will be a time of rebellion. They will no longer have the patience to live a life prescribed for them rather than a life they chose. Because of this, career changes may be frequent among the people you know. Who knows-you might even begin considering a career change!
