What year of Aquarius are we currently in and why?

Answers from the books of Samael Aun Weor

2011 is the 50th year of Aquarius. The count started in 1962, this is, 1962 is considered as the first year of Aquarius.

Much has been said of the New Age that began on February 4th, 1962 between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. Some suppose that the already started but such assumption is false, the New Age will only begin on February 4th, 1962.

The seven REGENT GENIUSES of the seven Planets, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will meet in a Cosmic Congress in the hour already given here. There will be an Eclipse of Sun and Moon at that hour, visible in some places of the Old World. This event will be as a kind of jam of the Celestial traffic in the Constellation of Aquarius; like so with such event will begin in fact the New Age. The Cosmic concrete facts are the ones talking; the Cosmic event of February 4th of 1962 only happen again every  2160 years in this or that constellation, every time that a new Age begins.

So that the year 1962is the first year of Aquarius. Every brother of the Gnostic Movement should date their letters according to the New Age.
