As a departure from the monthly rant on current astrology activity, I thought it fitting to highlight some of the big events for 2012. I don’t care how old you are, this is one of the most compelling years of your life! On a scale from 1 to 10, we are looking at a 10 folks, some of the biggest astrology you’ll ever see. I don’t know much about Mayan Calendars or prophecies, but I do know the house will be a rockin’ in twenty-twelve. Let’s sink our teeth into a few of the headliners.To set the scene, think of the Sun–our massive energy source. Every 11 years the amount of sunspots reaches a maximum. The last time it peaked was 2001, remember that year? in 2012 the Sun is going to be loud and shooting energy at us, literally. Some scientists are calling for potential power outages of epic proportions should we get a direct blast. Whether that occurs or not, the Sun correlates with temperature and action, and this year the general amplification will be on MAX.
Next, the major event, the Uranus/Pluto square, reaches exactitude in June and September, and they will be very tightly in major aspect the entire year! Uranus/Pluto is revolutionary, paradigm-shifting, in-your-face, and relentless. It urges drastic measures to modernize and reform–a continual challenge to orthodoxy and forces of stagnation. The protests, turmoil, and mayhem we have seen on the globe is going to reach even greater climax. Whether on Wall St., the Middle East, Russia, or elsewhere, people are going to be demanding fairness and greater equality. Pluto in Capricorn is the concentration of power and wealth for a select few, and Uranus in Aries is suggestive of fighting for liberty. The presidential election in the U.S. is another area we’ll see this play out. It promises to be another hotly contested battle which exposes the underlying issues of corruption, money, and manipulation. This year, look for the ”corporate beast” to be further petitioned and asked to be accountable for its damage.
Neptune enters Pisces in February, another titanic event. The planet of dreaming only moves signs every 14 years, and it only visits its home sign Pisces once in its 165-year tour around the Sun. Basically, we are being invited to dream more consciously…and I don’t mean while sleeping. The awareness that we reside in the externalization of our own consciousness may seem strange to some. By the end of Neptune transiting Pisces, many people will wake up to the idea that there is no objective reality. We exist in a colossal exchange of consciousness, and everything is a mirror of yourself. We can participate in evolution by learning how to engage with the dream space consciously, or we can sink further into the illusion.
There is an extremely rare astrology event on June 5, which occurs about once every 100 or so years–Venus will transit over the disc of the Sun. This is like a solar eclipse, but Venus is too small to block out any light. Nevertheless, it symbolizes a major shift. It’s as if Spirit (Sun) is delivering a message about how we behave (Venus) and think (Gemini) on this planet– can we learn (Gemini) to live in greater harmony (Venus)? The Venus transit of the Sun occurs shortly after a very compelling solar eclipse in Gemini. What’s more, Jupiter also enters Gemini around the same time! All of this is perhaps a shift from dualistic thinking (good/bad, male/female) in order to awaken into Oneness. Expect major works on this idea and for lots of energy around the realization of it.
Saturn goes into Scorpio in early October, and the Lord of Darkness will be in the darkest sign for over 2.5 years. What’s more, it will be in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn the entire time. So fascinating–we have this incredibly revolutionary and liberating time, and this event points to further consolidation of power. Saturn in Scorpio can be ruthless and domineering–the more conscious version is a sturdy hand on the helm. The Uranus/Pluto square will be exact for the duration of Saturn’s visit in Scorpio. This sets up a titanic clashing of progressive vs. conservative of the likes we have never seen this powerfully, or for this long.
Did you see Avatar? Remember the clashing of consciousness which was portrayed? That’s what 2012 is going to be like. Are you going to awaken into a new reality or be a part of the resistance to it. May we all welcome a new day…and a new year! Blessings.
