God you still blab ignorance even when you're not talking about the Bible. The "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius" was well understood at the time to precede the astronomical change-over point of time. That's why it was said to be the Dawning of the Age, not the Age.

Interpreting history through the eyes of pop culture is therefore problematic and rarely if ever useful in precise dating.
