Message for the New Year:
2012, for all of the hype about the Mayan calendar, is nothing more than the beginning of a new cycle. Nature does things gradually, so we’ve been feeling the build up for quite some time; the change is not instantaneous.
Numerologically, it will be a “5” year. 5 is the number of change and of freedom. It is a turning point, the peak of the bell curve. It is also the number of mankind. One of its symbols is the pentagram, the five pointed star, which is representative of man reaching for the Divine.
Astrologically, we are seeing patterns in the planets that haven’t been seen since the late 1960s, which were a time of great social upheaval all over the planet. Most of the dictators that fell this year were installed during that time. The cycle will peak over the summer, and we will all be asked to stand in our Truth, whether we really want to or not.
Uranus is in Aries, which is about unexpected events. At the same time, Pluto, which governs global events and money, is in Capricorn, which is about government, rules, and structure. The combination of these two planets’ placement suggests a global change in paradigm.
Jupiter will spend the first half of the year in Taurus, suggesting a struggle to stabilize our financial system. Then it moves into Gemini, and brings our focus to community and communication.
Saturn will be in Libra until October, asking us to restructure our relationships; and then moves into Scorpio, asking us to restructure our finances, both personally and globally.
Neptune moves into Pisces in February, where it will remain until 2025, asking us to focus on health, environment, oceans, and community.
It might be a lot to take in, but all that you really need to remember is that this is a year of big change. Meet it with honor and willingness.
