The World Into and After 2012
This report is brought to you mainly from the Mayan calendar, and the letters Re... and Birth.
Much has been written in books and on the WWW about this particular date, so it has pop culture mythos about it, even, if you can believe it - from the Christian apocalyptic point of view.
The thing is, the End Times were already here. And, they have come and gone - and certain religious folks missed it. Christ was here January 1, 2004... and realized he'd arranged lunch on the wrong planet. So we can start listening for the third and fourth comings, very soon, indeed.
And as to the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Saturated fats, Shiite Revenge, Symptoms, and Atlantis Rising with taco stands on the Beach, they all bet on the wrong horse. The winner was Boredom with Toys at the Kentucky Derby in the fourth.
Okay, so no more arsing about.
You apocalypse fans should stop reading here. I have the heavy task of telling you that the Bible is not another comic book. From this point on, I will be speaking about the difficult job of acknowledging humanity's survival, and the equally difficult task of cleaning up our messes. And you never liked housework, did you? So stop loving death so much.
Wikipedia says: 2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.
2012 is the year that Neptune finally joins Uranus and Pluto in new signs and new cycles.
Here are the numbers first:
Pluto enters Capricorn January 26, 2008- about tea time.
Uranus begins its ingress {entrance} into Aries May 28, 2010.
Neptune ingresses to Pisces, 0 degrees, 0 minutes, February fourth 2012.
Pluto: In My End is My Beginning
Using the United States Sibly birth chart, {July 4th 1776} reveals Pluto at 27 degrees Capricorn. This means that the U.S. will shortly be having its Pluto Return at 240-6 years. Pluto will be at exact conjunction in the year 2022. Some key words that apply to this slowest moving signifying trans-Neptunian 'dwarf-planet' are: relentless, inexorable, tectonic, and volcanic, death & rebirth.
Pluto in Capricorn {gives new meaning to the word 'Plutocracy'} in 2008 until 2023-5. Slowly and by increment, governmental methodologies become more controlling. Capricorn represents big business, and the established way of control, control, and coercive control. Just as Pluto in Sagittarius symbolizes the religious warrior or soldier - Pluto in Capricorn represents The lockstep police state that murders democracy {and curtails individual freedoms} in order to save it. So essentially, it doesn't matter who succeeds George Bush - the stage is set for war to escalate.
The first casualty of war will be truth - in 2008/9, forcing politicians to exercise more draconic protection, of the United States. Think Joe Stalin {Capricorn} or Chairman Mao {Capricorn} with 21st century technology to keep the nation afraid, in chains, and conforming. As this drama unfolds, The Muslim Middle-East will degenerate into Shia and Sunni civil war with Israel caught in the middle.
The issue that will be ignored is, of course, the environment. War is sexier. By sabotage or natural occurrence, power grids will fail across North America, coastal floods rise and insurance companies go bankrupt. The U.S. will put trillions more into waging battles with Iran and others.
Puritan Militant Muslims will work on an assassination of General Musharriff in Pakistan. As a militant Sunni Islam asserts itself against Shia and its demonization of the American ways and military means, the result will be civil war in the middle East - fratricidal blood feud .
Before you say, "let them do each other in," remember Israel will pre-emptively retaliate against Iran or its proxies. Israel's birth chart {May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion stood before the masses gathered in Tel Aviv and declared Israel's independence: May 14, 1948, 4:37 pm EET, Tel Aviv, Israel} has Saturn conjunct Pluto- the ultimate sado-masochistic combination. Well Bob is your transvestite uncle.
Uranus: The Natural World
From the New York Times, Feb 2/07- "Drew Shindell, a climate expert at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, emphasized that he was speaking as an individual, said, "The melting of Greenland has been accelerating so incredibly rapidly that the I.P.C.C. {Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change} report will already be out of date in predicting sea level rise, which will probably be much worse than is predicted in the I.P.C.C. report."
Uranus is always about currents, especially in Pisces - the ocean currents. Think also of alternating currents: the Conveyor belt of the Atlantic shuts down, starting disastrous climate change in Europe, and coastal cities from Hong Kong to Miami, Manhattan, other big cities, find themselves one or two feet underwater, and our race begins to reorganize its priorities.
Uranus being among other things, electrical currents, expect nationwide grid failures, due to EMF {electromagnetic frequencies} disruptions from clever terrorists. They can and will accomplish this two ways: simply snapping off the source, as in a power station, for instance, on the East Coast, to setting off a low level nuclear device purchased from Russia, 30 or so miles above the Eastern states.
It has been noted by climatologists that as parts of Greenland and Antarctica are warming, the interiors are either stabilizing or getting colder. As this is happening, islands of Polynesia and Micronesia are disappearing. So Uranus in Pisces represents all the extremes here of colder/warmer, dryer/wetter, and generally climate destabilization. It's as if Uranus' astrological message is that the Earth will be as it has been, only more so.
Neptune: Tantrums Are Us
Of the three brothers who overthrew Dad- Cronus, Zeus {Jupiter}, Poseidon {Neptune} and Pluton {Pluto}, Poseidon was the most unstable. It was he that was given to rages and violent acting out. Many of the Greek myths involve flooding and shipwrecks.
Zeus{Jupiter} was very content to be the king of the Gods and rule the day, and Pluton {"the dark-faced one} didn't much like people, and took pride in his cloak of invisibility, Poseidon was given the waters, and Earth shaking. Our current theories of plate tectonics say that various inner or core layers of the Earth surpass the surface of the Sun in high temperatures. When vast amounts of water {remember the amount of liquid water on the planet is increasing} meet this area, steam and sometimes violent movement occur. Expect more earthquakes where crustal plates meet the sea, especially the Pacific "ring of fire."
After The Beginning: - back to Earth
We are in a period of collapse of the old ways. Many of the powerful generation born in the sixties were people with previous life war experience, {Uranus conjunct Pluto opposed Saturn} or are the victims/victimizers of sexual excesses, including militant Puritanism.
Lisa Nowak {born May 10, 1963 in Washington, D.C. astronaut} and Anna Nicole Smith, {born November 28, 1967 - February 8, 2007} are two examples of how emotions are intoxicants for this generation. Many of this generation will lead the rest of us to the extremes of war and peace.
Astrology is about the most healing of our tools, awareness. We can't as a race or individuals sleepwalk towards a better future. I am a voice, among many, of consciousness. I was given a turbulent life of childhood violence and being chosen by the state {I was drafted to go to Viet Nam in 1969} to murder and to die, and to be broken on the wheel of power politics. While I would not have chosen these horrors, they made me well suited to deal with the larger trends in our society. And I can help clients to heal and 'lift the veil' of the future through my craft.
If you are concerned about your individual place in a world that will come out of the ashes of the old, I am here for consultation.
How can I help?
