An Astrological Age is defined as: the period of time during which the Vernal Equinox Point(The date on which the number of hours and minutes of daylight and night-time are equal - in Spring in the northern hemsiphere.)can be found in a particular constellation.
Age of the Aquarius: The period of time during which the Vernal Equinox Point is to be seen, from Earth, against the stars of the constellation of Aquarius.
This date marks the start of the next Astrological Age, according to the definition of visionary psychologist Carl Gustav Jung the populariser of the concept of the Age of Aquarius. This date is disputed, with many different opinions as to the beginning of a New Age.
The Aquarian Age has not yet arrived, although its influences are already being felt, and it will not be fully with us for over six hundred more years-- or in approximately 2,600 A.D.
This simply means that we are leaving one age (Pisces), and entering into a new one (Aquarius). This happens every two thousand years - the last one coinciding with the arrival of Christ.
What does this have to do with ordinary people?It leads people to change or they might be feeling the urge to change now, or may be witnessing changes around you. This is characteristic of the changing of the Ages as people struggle to adapt to the new energies. The Age of Aquarius is associated with modern technology, computers, telecommunications and space exploration as well as new ways of thinking
Many feel this heralds the coming of the "end of times" as written in the Bible. Some feel it is the dawning of the new world order. Whatever it means it is still mysterious, and opinions differ widely in the Astrology community.
It takes about 25,920 years for a complete cycle of the precession of the equinoxes. Some say that each great Age lasts an equal amount of time about 2160 years each. Others believe that the lengths of the great ages is irregular, that is, a great age lasts as long as long as the vernal equinoctial point remains within the boundary of that particular constellation.
Seeing that the Sun by precession travels backward among the signs of the zodiac, it will be understood that there must come a time when the vernal equinox occurs in the first point of Aries; and thus during that year the intellectual and natural zodiacs agree. This occurred the last time in about the year 500 A.D., and as the Sun has been traveling backwards at its accustomed rate of one degree in about seventy years, it is evident that at the present time the vernal equinox occurs in about nine degrees of Pisces. Thus it will be about 2,600 A.D. before it actually enters the constellation Aquarius. The Aquarian Age may be said to start at that time, and it will last approximately 2,100 years while the Sun moves backward through the thirty degrees of the sign Aquarius.
For thousands of years the spring equinox has been recognized as the beginning of the year by many cultures. Thats the reason vernal equinoctial point is used for determining the Aquarian Age instead of the fall equinoctial point.
Age of the Aquarius

Well actually they say that it takes around 60 years to transit from one age to anoter, so the transit to the aquarian age started in (i think) 1953, so the effects of aquarian age have started to be felt in a minute manner, with the transition going further, the effect slowly increases. & in 2013 the final & full effect will start to show once the transititon fully completes & we go into the aquarian age.
Well for example, not many ppl thought about an online forum for astro, magick, occult etc, from a long time, we have online forums since lets say 8 to 10 years now. & now slowlly they are starting everywhere, i won't be surprised if i find more in the future.

Here is some info
AGE OF AQUARIUS
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius celebrated in the musical Hair. It is a period when according to astrological mysticism and related hokum there will be unusual harmony and understanding in the world. We could certainly use a dose of harmony and understanding in this old world; unfortunately, it is unlikely to come because of something as irrelevant as the position of the vernal equinox with respect to the constellations of the Zodiac.
Vernal Equinox
It takes approximately 80 years to do a transition of this size. Which places us about two thirds through this transition. We will be fully into Aquarius, one degree, around the year 2013. Interestingly enough, the Mayan Calendar and many of the ancient dating systems on the planet actually end the cycle of this age in the year 2012.
Signs of Aquarius: Paradigm shifts in the medical profession, from alapathic medicine to more holistic medicine. We see more equality between men and women emerging. Women are coming into their own and to be treated as equals in jobs, ownership of property, voting rights, etc.
The Age of Aquarius is also about technology and information spreading. It's about space travel and computers. It's about things moving quickly and rapidly. Time has been speeding up because we are moving into a section of the sky that is creating a vibrational awakening on the planet.
We are awakening our spiritual potential and our innate gifts as spiritual beings. This includes the awakening of clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, and healing abilities. These innate gifts have been dormant in us for the last 2,000 year. Now we are going to realize our full spiritual potential.
We are presently ending a century, a millineum, and now 180 degrees around the star clock of the procession of the equinoxes. That was the time of the great flood. That was the Age of Leo....Many ancient Star clocks depict the age of Leo The Flood happened somewhere in the beginning to the middle of Leo. There are many stories of the flood in different cultures around the world.

Well there was something which was like a side -effect, neither good nor bad, but something which might change the world as we see it. & some one predicted that there will be another world war between 2012 & 2015, which will change the world, & all that would be in some way due to the advent of the Aquarian age. I don't know what to think about it, but i believe there will be a world war, me & some others had a big debate regarding the Aquarian age & world war. & many think aquarian age or not there would be a world war. I think that can be another topic in General discussion not here.
Age of Innovations
Information about the influence of Aquarius comes to us through a study of astrology. Aquarius has an intellectual influence which is original, inventive, mystic, scientific, altruistic, and religious. If we apply the biblical standard, "By their fruits ye shall know them," we would expect to see that the Aquarian Age would be ushered in by original endeavors along all lines connected with science, religion, mysticism, and altruism. And indeed, this seems to be true. We now can look back upon a period of nearly a century in which the Sun by precession has traveled a little over one degree in the orb towards Aquarius. During that time we find that there has been a very marked change in all lines of thought and endeavor from that which history records throughout the past two millennia. Consider only the inventions of the past century, from telephone, telegraph, and radar, to the new, highly complex machinery for space travel. These, and myriad more, are marking Aquarian progress in the physical world. We also note the rapid rate at which all the movements of liberal thought in religious matters are superseding the old creedbound conditions, and the increasing number of those who have developed spiritual sight and are investigating the trend in evolution in the higher planes. The study of astrology has assumed unheard of popularity in the last few years, and a visit to almost any bookstore cannot help but impress one with the incredible number of recent publications on occult matters and the "supernatural."
The Aquarian Age will see the blending of religion and science to such a degree that a religious science and a scientific religion will be formed--each respecting and learning from the findings of the other--which will promote health, happiness, and enjoyment of life.
Universal Brotherhood
The Aquarian Age will bring with it an era of universal brotherhood, in preparation for which we see the barriers of race prejudice being broken all around us. To be sure, this is presently being accomplished under conditions of bloodshed and revolt. We can be certain, however, that although the sword, which had its reign during the Piscean Age, still is powerful, SCIENCE and ALTRUISM will rule during the Aquarian Age.
Since Aquarius is an airy, scientific, and intellectual sign, it is a forgone conclusion that the religion of that Age must be rooted in reason and able to solve the riddle of life and death in a manner that will satisfy both the mind and the religious instinct. In this respect, the Western Wisdom Teachings promulgated by the Rosicrucian Fellowship also are preparing the way for the Aquarian Age by preparing the way for the Aquarian Age by breaking down the fear of death engendered by the uncertainty surrounding the post-mortem existence. These Teachings show that life and consciousness continue under Laws as immutable as God, which tend to raise man to increasingly higher, nobler, and loftier states of spirituality.
As an airy sign, Aquarius has special rule over the ether. When the Sun enters Aquarius by precession, moisture on Earth gradually will be eliminated and visual vibrations, which are most easily transmitted by a dry etheric atmosphere, will become more intense. Under these conditions, etheric sight will be developed in the greatest majority of mankind, and we will be able to see residents of the etheric region, including our own friends and loved ones who have died. We then will be able to continue our companionship with them for a while after "death," and have time to accustom ourselves to the fact that they are going on to higher realms.
When this point in evolution is reached, mankind also will be so much more enlightened that it will avoid many of the pitfalls which cause trouble today, and we will enjoy a much happier existence than has been the rule up to the present stage. We will be able to solve social problems in a manner equitable to all, and the use of improving machinery will free mankind from physical toil to a great extent and give him greater opportunity for intellectual and spiritual improvement. Although the blessings of the Aquarian Age assuredly will be ours in time, it is possible for those who truly aspire to a "better," or more spiritual life to bring themselves ever more in tune with the spirit of the coming Age and thus render themselves amenable far more quickly and completely than their contemporaries to Aquarian influences. He or she who does his or her best to live a life of service to humanity, and to exercise his of her powers of compassion, altruism, and beneficence, will find himself or herself ever more responsive to Aquarian influences, and his progress on the evolutionary path will be advanced accordingly.

We are in the Age of Pisces. This is what i got about it from another site.
Piscean Age
We readily recognize the Piscean influence during the last two thousand years. The superstition, intellectual bondage, and blind faith through which civilization has passed are well known to historians. On the other hand, however, the influences of the Piscean Age were necessary in the process of evolution. The Teachings of love and altruism which Christ brought to our Earth were so foreign to the Religion of Law--and of fear--which had come before that they could not begin to take effect among the majority of mankind without the stressing of faith, even a blind faith which included the doctrine of the "Vicarious Atonement." During the Piscean Age--which will perhaps be remembered as the Age of Faith in contrast to the Aquarian Age of Reason--the tenets of the new Christianity (love and unselfishness) were taught to an ever-increasing circle of believers. Abstinence from flesh-eating was practiced on certain days. Reverence was paid to an Immaculate Virgin. Gradually man was and is being taught to forsake the lusts of the flesh and also lusting after the flesh. In the six hundred years which remain before the Aquarian Age is definitely ushered in, we in all probability will make great strides in both of these areas of consciousness. It is well to remember, also, that Jupiter, the planet of benevolence and philanthropy which is co-ruler of Pisces, has been a prominent factor in promoting altruism during the past two millennia.
