Well, it’s here: 2012, the year that we’ve been thinking about for so long but isn't it actually just what the influential combinations of planetary positions do every day of our lives - chart a multiplicity of opportunities for Change? Think about it: if we are granted eighty three years and four months of Time, here Earth, that’s a Thousand Months to make a difference in some Thing, or another.
That’s 30416.666666636254 days, if we’re going to take a deeper look at the Mayan Calendar and their computation of a “baktun” being 1444.000 days.
13 “baktuns” add up to around 1.8 million days ( 5,125 years) which comes to one fifth of a full precessional cycle.
Which is the cycle of 12 “ages” in Western astrology.

Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get a Message out into the World? I guess you have, when it’s something close to “your” heart. It takes much longer when it’s not so close to others, which comes from many different reasons. Go on; make your list!
For a greater awareness of the Harmonic Convergence we have to go back to the publication of books on Hopi prophecies, Atlantis, alien visitations and many allied subjects published in the 1970’s.

1987 was a very important year: whether or not you appreciated that all depends on your personal level of awareness. There’s nothing to feel particularly “saintly” about this, because we‘re all on the long trail to greater consciousness. It’s just that the Message takes longer to get through for some, than others.
Well, it did: 2012 means that the signposts are going to be more in our faces and in every language: and about Time, too.
So, where are you, my Arian through to Piscean friends?

Read On:

ARIES: It’s all about getting your particular “Things” into order; making a plan; sorting out priorities and, remembering that we are all work in progress. Take your time, as you would when faced with the prospect of renovating an old house. Choose the rooms that are most important: the bedroom, the kitchen and apply this to what you are about to create with this energy.

TAURUS: For any Earth sign, feeing vulnerable is not a comfortable feeling and it seems that there are certain parts of your life that do feel uncomfortably close to the surface. Intimacy, and how far you will let go, now appears as one of those “parts.” Disguise is not an option. Truth and trust are. It will feel a bit like “going for broke,” but what you will gain is access to your authentic Self. Isn’t that worth some Thing?

GEMINI: It’s all about renegotiation on just about every level; and, mostly, this is going to be between your dual-nature. Time for a coming together (a pow-wow, if you like) of some of the agreements, and compromises, you made with your Self in earlier times. And it really is all about You, and getting freed from the expectations and demands of others.

CANCER: There was a major turning point for you, as the 21st Century began; and there’s another coming. We all evolve, and you have changed because of those previous decisions. It’s, mostly, to do with relationships (and this is where a Crab feels most vulnerable) but it has all to do with your personal integrity. Can you really “act” your way through some Thing that no longer fits? That’s a very important question for you to ask your self right now.

LEO: Time to take centre-stage with your creative forces; and to use your formidable energy to give them life. For some this will mean a change in your personal appearance. For others, you’ll be making personal appearances in places that you‘ve, previously, avoided.
Whatever, Go for It (whatever that It is) and this is for you to know.

VIRGO: With Mars retrograde in your birth sign for quite a while, the journey for you is all about the discernment of what you really want. You like Good Harvests; and this is all about seeking out the right seeds. You will be feeling particularly “sharp” in your intelligence but don’t neglect your emotional “seeds.”
Now is the time to envisage Things that you just know are right for you. Stay focused, and do the work.

LIBRA: We tend to make our really important decisions either through love or fear: and that makes all the difference. This is an important time for you to dig and delve into some Stuff that’s in your hidden depths. You do have a laser-like probe into the motivations of others (and, probably use this as a defence) but now it’s time to do some soul-seeking for your authentic Self. No need to be condemnatory, despite your need for perfectionism. Avoid getting into wondering too much about what others are thinking about you. The important Thing is to Be who you are; and to be the Best you can Be.

SCORPIO: Of all the signs, you dig deeper into Who you really are (and Who you really were; and Who you intend to be) than most of the rest of Us astrological signatures. This year is all about being happy in the house you are in: and in doing the work you came to do. That‘s it, really. Simple!

SAGITTARIUS: It will be the detail, and the details, that will be taking much of your attention, in 2012, but as the necessary encouragements to make Pearls.
Not one of Us on this planet, are perfect and beauty is often created out of inconsistencies. It’s likely that you will be re-visioning your ideas about perfection and, from this, some really good ideas will emerge. And it’s also very likely that you’ll be travelling further a-field to develop them.

CAPRICORN: It’s all about Change (a very scary word for your sign) this year. And, when you look back, it will become very clear that you should have been celebrating that Thing you most fear rather sooner than you have.)
Sorry about using “Should” but that’s the way It is, from now on!
As you take each of the next steps (and not, necessarily, really knowing where you are going) you’ll find that your heart is singing: “At Last.”
Enjoy the journey.

AQUARIUS: 2012 is going to reveal that final stage of a rather unusual maze you’ve been travelling though, since the 21st Century began: very necessary footwork.
You will have found your Self travelling sideways and backwards, at times, but it gave you time to absorb important information for the future. What you’ve gained is a greater awareness of Who you are. And that you had to be the Who you were, to get to this place. And that’s a good place to be.

PISCES: Much of your exploration has been involved with unraveling past Issues (some very big Things!) and this is the year when you can relax. For you this will mean feeling At Home in the World, and that comes from an inner strength you‘ve been forging through many difficult times.
For you, “Great Expectations” would have been a good title for this current life. They’re knocking at your door.
