(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section-

The lead section of the article provides a great amount of information that is later evaluated in the article. A pro of the lead section of the article is how much detail is provided. It covers each base that the article later covers. The lead article is a bit over detailed although.

Content-

The content of the article is intensely detailed and very complicated. As someone who knows a lot about astrology it was difficult to follow this line of reasoning throughout the article. Although, the amount of information was super heavy it was interesting. There were a lot of different theories that were offered and discussed in the article about astrological age and how it i defined by different astrologers. The content is somewhat up to date but discusses outdated sources. Using sources from early 20th century and discussing ideals dated back to B.C. The content seems overboard at times and dives into deep detail that unravels in a confusing manner

Tone and Balance-

The article is very neutral and gives most if not all perspectives that astrologers have on Astrological age. It presents this conversation topic from an unbiased stand point. There seems to be that the times stamps of the 20th century are favored.

Sources and references-

There are sources and references spread all out throughout the article. Each paragraph offers 3 or more links and sources. There are a lot of editors and writers apart of this page. The links do work. I would say there are better sources available for someone who would rather have an easier read. Although, for someone doing a deep dive or a research paper or report on astrological age who needed a lot of information on the topic, I would say this would be a perfect article to read and evaluate.

Organization and writing quality-

The organization is a bit all over the place as it jumps from different timelines and astrologers back to other ones. The writing quality is high and written at a very formal and educational level.

Images and media-

The article offers few pictures. The pictures that is does offer, around 4, do have to do with the article but don't aid in understanding the article. More pictures or graphs of stars and astrological constellations would help this article.

Talk page-

There seems to be a lot of debate about how the article relates astrological signs and times to religious events, like the birth of Christ. In the article, the birth of Christ is related to the beginning of the age of Pisces, which seems to be a topic of discussion on the talk page. People feel as though comparing religion and astrology is offensive and incorrect. The article is rated C-Class and of High Importance.

Overall-

This article would be super helpful to someone who needs a lot of information about astrological age but to someone who wants to do a casual read or a casual learn on the topic could fall short of understanding it's content because of how deep the knowledge and information goes. The article could be improved eight more images that would aid in understanding the article better. More visual aids would be an extreme help here. If I was going to actually make a lot of edits I would go in and add summaries of each section that is written in easier to understand language.
