Abstract:
The New Age is almost always connected with alternatives. One of such dominant alternatives in the New Age thought is the question: Christ or Aquarius? Aquarius is the name of a constellation that will influence the humanity during the next 2130 years. This astrological view is the central dogma of the New Age. The mystery of Jesus Christ can be approached in the spirit of the contextual theology by means of the idea of water. He is the bearer of the living water which He promises to the Samaritan. And because Jesus Christ is the bearer of the living water he can be named the true Aquarius. Aquarius is the name of a constellation and Christ is the One by whom everything was created, together with constellations. Aquarius is the expression of the longing for salvation, and Christ – is the very salvation Himself. Aquarius cannot be brought to harmony with Christ because of two problems. First: Aquarius presents himself as an alternative excluding Christ, and – secondly – Christ is the only one Savior. This salvation touches the whole cosmos, together with the constellation of Aquarius and is offered even to those who believe in Aquarius.
