info on Age of Pisces, and connection with Christianity in minds of New Agers
'''Pisces''', the "Fish", is a [[Constellations|constellation]], one of the twelve Signs of the [[Astrology|Zodiac]]. It is the twelfth astrological [[sign]], and comes between [[Aquarius]] the Water-Bearer and [[Aries]] the Ram. As a sun sign, it represents the dates of February 20 through March 20, and the last month of the ancient pagan calendar at end of the year, just before Spring.
'''Pisces''', the "Fish" (plural), is a [[Constellations|constellation]], one of the twelve Signs of the [[Astrology|Zodiac]]. It is the twelfth astrological [[sign]], and comes between [[Aquarius]] the Water-Bearer and [[Aries]] the Ram. As a sun sign, it represents the dates of February 20 through March 20, and the last month of the ancient pagan calendar at the end of the year, just before Spring.
An early influence on the growth of the [[New age movement|New Age movement]] was the founding of the [[Theosophical Society]] by [[Madame Blavatsky]] in 1875, but it gained most popularity in the 1960s, when its followers looked forward to the dawning of the [[Age of Aquarius]] and the passing of the Age of Pisces which they saw as dominated by [[Christianity]]. The Age of Pisces, signified by the [[Astrology|astrological]] [[Astrology#Sun signs|Zodiac]] sign of two fish swimming in opposite directions, is seen by New Agers as evident in the early Christian use of the acronym ΙΧΘΥΣ IChThUS, Greek for "fish" '''ιχθύς''' ''ichthys'' (origin of the word for the scientific study of fish [[Ichthyology]]), as representing Ίησούς Χριστός Θεός Ύίός Σωτέρ – '''Ί'''ησούς '''I'''esous, '''Χ'''ριστός '''Ch'''ristos, '''Θ'''εός '''Th'''eos, '''Ύ'''ίός '''hU'''ios, '''Σ'''ωτέρ '''S'''oter – "'''J'''esus '''Ch'''rist '''G'''od's '''S'''on '''S'''avior".
