Sure, people tend to think astrology is hokey entertainment, but in actuality, things, events, storms, etc. seem to coincide with astrological events. Timing is everything and these energies are within us, we only project them to the outside world, like the planets or elements or whatever. We, on 12/13 we had a New Moon, good time to start a new project for the coming lunar cycle, but Uranus, in Aries went direct - Uranus is the planet of surprises. I think we were all surprised, stunned really, by the events that unfolded in CT that week. This week is the "official" end to the Mayan calendar calculations, depending on who you read. Either way, it IS the Winter Solstice, the beginning of a new season, Winter, the end of a year approaching (by zodiac terms, the beginning of the New Year is March 21st). Winter is a time of contemplation, reflection, and relaxation. But with Christmas thrown in the mix, it is anything but for many people. With the end of the Mayan cycles, they say that this year 2012 completes several major astronomic cycles all the same time. Cycles that span 26,000 years, 5000 years, 2100 years and so on. And what makes this time special is that they all converge simultaneously in the end of an Age (Pisces) and the beginning of a new Age (Aquarius). That's roughly one of the shorter 2000 year cycles. So, with the new Lunar cycle, we have and ending/beginning combo shortly after. A big one, really. To me, this is overpowering for a small lunar cycle, so I chose to make no "intentions" on the Moon this month in favor of maybe just riding out this extremely tumultuous period in observation. Patient observation isn't my thing, so I've simply been making of mess of my past relationship...perfect. Finally, we have a Full Moon on 12/28 which astrologers are comparing to the big one that hit me back in Sept when Chantal and I split up. They say this one could be equally jarring (how I make it through more of that is anyone's guess). However, it also looks like it completes the cycle that began on 9/30, so I suppose that's a good thing because Autumn, for me, has been utterly horrible and I'll be glad to see it go. Saturn in Scorpio has me moving back and forth between its influences: Death and Rebirth. I'm all over the map these days and feel very unstable. Too much is ending, nothing fresh is coming online and there's too much sadness in the world. I feel it all and I'm struggling against it. So, in a way, it IS the end of the world and maybe that world needs to end because it hasn't been all that fabulous to begin with, from my perspective.
