Religion in the Age of Aquarius

[sdi]

The religions of the age of Aries, a fire sign, were characterized by orthopraxy: that is, one had to act in the right manner, but your inward beliefs were irrelevant. The religions of the age of Pisces, a water sign, by contrast, were characterized by orthodoxy: that is, one had to believe the right things, but how that was expressed was irrelevant.

In the same manner, I might propose that the religions of the age of Aquarius, an air sign, can be expected to be characterized by "right speaking," one has to say the right things regardless of what you do or what you believe. One need only consider the popular movements of our time for ample example of this...

Double oof. The latin turn of phrase would be something like "ortholoqui".

I think the appropriate term here would be "ortholexy" (from Greek lexein, "to speak", as ortho, praxis, and doxa are all Greek roots), but bear in mind I only had one year of Greek in high school...

Thats what I get for skipping out on greek and latin courses in school. Thanks for the correction!
