Since it’s already 2012 in Australia, that must mean the world didn’t end!! What great news!
If you are thinking that it was not predicted by the Mayan calendar to end till December of 2012, ask yourself this: which will really end, the whole world, or the Mayan world?? Didn’t the Mayan world already end? Then the prophecy was true and it has been fulfilled. We don’t have to concern ourselves with Armeggedon anymore. Won’t the Witnesses of Jehovah be pleasantly surprised?
Of immediate, real concern to us is the state of the heavens at midnight, 0000, quad Zulu, of 1 1 2012; I reckon from my house, aka Seattle, since I live here in the far west. The sun is too close to Pluto for there not to occur changes in perception, in our sense of self, in consciousness; however these changes will have already occurred, as the effect is a separating one. We will begin finding applications for the changes which have already been made within us.
There is an inexact Grand Trine in the air element, made up by Saturn in Libra, Neptune in Aquarius, and the MC in Gemini. Ideas come to us easily that have to do with new approaches to the law, innovations, novel applications, honest interpretations.
This may have an impact on another real concern of 2012, which is the Supreme Court hearing the Obamacare case; it begins and ends while Mercury is retrograde in sidereal Aquarius, the sign of new ideas. This looks unfavorable for the proposed changes to be upheld, and indeed may herald a long and harsh legal battle.
A harsh battle rages now in the skies above between Jupiter, benevolent and magnanimous of spirit, opposed by Saturn, the heavenly doorstop. Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra, which it currently occupies, so the scales are weighted in its favor. We can expect the themes of frugality, economy, and rectitude to endure this year, as well as less frilly fashions.
The one aspect which worries me is that Mars and Mercury are in a tight hard exact square; Mars in loud, ill-mannered, boorish Leo, and Mercury in mocking, ill-humored, dirty mouthed Scorpio. Of course we could choose to elevate this hard square to an iron sculpting on white marble with impassioned but disciplined arguments; but, most of us will bounce around at the level of telling bad jokes and arguing just to argue.
There is one more aspect, a mini trine, involving Saturn in Libra trining Chiron in Aquarius, both sextiling the Part of Fortune at 0 degrees of Sagittarius; I like this one a lot!! Many traditional astrologists won’t use Chiron at all, as it’s a minor asteroid, and the Part of Fortune is purely arbitrary, based on the chart being cast from my house- but here is a perfect example of arguing a good thing down for petty reasons! The mini trine is dignified by Saturn exalted in Libra giving weight and support to Chiron, the wounded healer, in the realm of ideas, innovation, and flights of fantasy. It could launch a whole new path to Fortune!!!
