THE ASTROLOGY OF DECEMBER 2012: DISASTER, ASCENSION OR BOTH?

According to many prophecies something important is about to happen in 2012.

In 2012 the center of the Galaxy is at 0 degree of the Western zodiacal sign Capricorn. 0 degree Capricorn is the point of the zodiac where the Sun is during the December solstice.

At December 21, 11.12 GMT during the December solstice the Sun is at the exact center of the Galaxy. According to the Mayas the center of the Galaxy is the cosmic womb: the place of dead, transformation, regeneration and rebirth. This moment shows the end of their calendar.

To the left you see a picture on how the Milky Way appears in a part of the world that has no problems with light pollution.

Below you see a picture of the center of the Galaxy. The picture shows a light cluster of stars. Underneath these light stars (a bit to the right) you see a circle of stars that surrounds a dark part of the sky. This dark part is a gigantic black hole which is the center of the Galaxy. This dark hole is a region of immense spiritual power.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ASTROLOGICAL CHART

The Sun is at 0 degrees Capricorn, the point of the December solstice. It makes a sextile to Neptune, right at the beginning of Pisces. This is an almost exact sextile. The orb is less then half a degree. This aspect can point towards a spiritual experience, a loss or both.

The most important configuration is a yod which we find in the chart. This is also called the Finger of God. It looks like an arrow in the chart and it indicates change and transformations. .

The yod consists of:

1. A quincunx (150 degree aspect) between Jupiter and Pluto.

2. A quincunx between Jupiter and Saturn.

3. A central opposition (180 degree aspect) made between Jupiter and the Mercury/Venus conjunction.

The two quincunxes are almost exact, they have an orb of less then half a degree. In fact the quincunx between Jupiter and Pluto is exact at December 21 2012.

THE MEANING OF THE ASTROLOGICAL CHART

Pluto is the planet of radical transformation, death and rebirth.

Saturn is the planet of the earthly realm and of learning experiences, especially those of a more painful nature.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion. It is the focus of the yod, the planet which receives the strong energy of the other planets involved. It also expands the energy of the other planets involved (especially Saturn and Pluto).

This yod indicates transformational processes which can be painful for many.

Jupiter has a central place in this because it is the focal point of the energy. This indicates changes in our religious systems, beliefs, philosophical systems. These fall under Jupiter.

Another notable configuration is the T-square with Neptune as focal point:

• Jupiter makes a square (90 degree aspect) to Neptune.
• Neptune makes a square to Venus.
• Venus opposes Jupiter, this is the central opposition that activates the yod.

Therefore Neptune, the planet of spirituality, ascension, confusion and floods is a crucial planet in this chart.
