Aries: (March 21-April 19): When you first got involved in this situation you didn’t know what you know now. As more of what’s really going on has been fully revealed you realize that you bought into something that was not what it appeared to be. If it feels like it’s too late to pull out you’re going to need to sit down with whomever this concerns and rearrange your agreements. Don’t be shy about this. Make it clear to them that you are in no mood to roll over and play dead when it comes to your own needs and don’t let them talk you into being something that you’re not.

Taurus: (April 20-May 20): It’s time to regroup. Recent shifts in direction demand that you rearrange your best laid plans. If you thought you would be free of this situation once and for all, guess again. Finding ways to make what’s been going on forever more interesting is always a challenge but it will be less nuts once you realize that you can delegate most of what has been your job to those who have more of a feeling for it. While it’s true that a changing of the guard would do much to improve things it looks like you’ve got to stand watch until your reinforcements show up.

Gemini: (May 21-June 21): Before you get into this think twice about playing the go between, being the mediator, or taking one side against the other; this isn’t your business. As much as you want to make everything OK for everyone you need to see that your two cents will only confuse things that are confused enough as it is. Silence could be golden right now – and before you decide to distract yourself with other people and their problems ask yourself where your own life went. There’s a lot to say that you would be far better off if you paid more attention to your own affairs.

Cancer: (June 22-July 22): It’s one thing to give people a little slack and quite another to see how far they take it. Extending credit and/or trust has put you in the position of being exploited on some level. If you’re in denial about this it’s because you’re making excuses for whoever’s ripping you off. Underneath the need to allow others to take advantage there’s a pile of old, psychological crap. Far be it from me to play analyst but; what do you think will happen if you draw the line? Don’t give yourself over to over-kindness. It only weakens others and it does even less for you.

Leo: (July 23-Aug. 22): The tide seems to be turning and the scenery is changing right along with it. You don’t know what’s going to happen from here on out but things are looking better for you. Some sort of opening has occurred and this has allowed you to break away from the need to hide out. For so long the focus has been inner and your energy has gone mainly into your work – but new things have come up and you’ve got choices about what and/or who to get involved with. I would expect the next month to hold the promise of more fun and a tremendous amount of recognition.

Virgo: (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are totally in love with the way things are going. In the midst of change life seems to be working and so many things are being confirmed. When it gets like this, one always wonders when the worm will turn. If you know how life works whatever happens when things fly south will be taken in stride. But if you’re one of those people who hasn’t figured out that this is a roller coaster, you’ll be bummed out when things start to go down. Brace yourself. Learning how to enjoy the ride no matter where you’re at makes it easier to love life all of the time.

Libra: (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your certainty needs have flown out the window. Life has given new meaning to the expression ‘flying by the seat of your pants”. Not knowing how things will turn out is about to give way to a greater sense of stability. If situations and people have kept you on your toes, the resolution of long standing matters will put you in the position of being the one who was right all along. As things die down and you are no longer saddled with all of this pressure all the energy you’ve spent trying to keep it together will be freed up to devote to more meaningful pursuits.

Scorpio: (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Maybe you need to rethink this. The decision to stay or go could be turned into something else altogether if you could figure out what it is you really want. It looks to me like lines need to be drawn. You also need to make it clear that you’re unwilling to play games. If whoever’s on the receiving end can hear it, you might be surprised to find out that they’re willing to bend. Whatever the outcome the need for change is crawling out of the woodwork and you’re going to have to go for it regardless of whether or not others choose to grow along with you.

Sagittarius: (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Baby steps” is the best approach in this situation. Even if you want to waltz right in you don’t have the capacity to move freely and you are totally unfamiliar with the territory. In addition to that, whoever’s out there isn’t quite sure about you and they are even less sure about themselves. The last thing you need is to get hooked up with yet another loser who doesn’t know what’s going on. It’s OK to get acquainted but as soon as you get a faint whiff of dishonesty or insecurity trust your instincts enough to know that you’d be better off elsewhere.

Capricorn: (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Out of the blue you’re beginning to see that whatever you’ve been searching for is right here in front of you. Too much pressing for the next big thing has lost its flavor and it’s a relief to be content with what you have. If what’s here is good enough for the moment, at some point you will begin to refine it. Recognizing yourself and accepting the fact that this is what you’ve chosen will lead you beyond contentment into a place where your relationships and your work become an alchemical laboratory where absolutely anything can be transmuted to gold.

Aquarius: (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take advantage of this time to make changes and trust your intuition when it comes down to knowing what to do. You have more than your share of higher guidance so tap into that too; there’s a lot to be said for the presence of angels. This is a milestone period so don’t discount anything that happens and be sure to live by the Golden Rule. If others are confused by your reliance on insight over logic let them know that they needn’t feel threatened by your flashes of inspiration and would be better off if they could allow you to steer the way.

Pisces: (Feb. 19-March 20): You get confused when it comes to understanding why people can’t own up to things. Perplexed by someone else’s need to hide from the truth you’re wondering if you should bring it to their attention. I hate to clue you but you can’t tell anyone what they don’t want to hear. Leave this alone and let time help them figure it out for themselves. As far as your relationship with them goes; maybe you need to detach. Because it will be impossible for you to connect or have any meaningful discourse until they are able to come to terms with their denial mechanisms.

The Astrology of 2012 and Beyond

Cal Garrison

Foreword by Drunvalo Melchizedek, author of Serpent of Light

In October 2007, a new phenomenon appeared in the sky, was named the Comet Holmes, and is being claimed and acclaimed by the Hopi Nation as the Blue Star of their prophecy. The Blue Star is the harbinger. Between now and somewhere in 2013-2014, when the Red Star appears, great shifts in human consciousness will continue. With the fulfillment of the Mayan Long Count calendar in 2012 and the appearance of the Red Star, many are predicting that human consciousness will rise to the next level. Although there may be catastrophic events associated with this period, and life as we know it will surely change, if we do the work, this will not be the Apocalypse.

In The Astrology of 2012 and Beyond (Weiser Books, July 2009), Garrison explores the changing sky, starting with the movement of Pluto into Capricorn, a region it hasn’t inhabited since 1733. It’s revolutionary times ahead for individuals, governments, and the planet. Garrison draws on traditional astrology and her understanding of the Hopi prophecies and their relationship to the Mayan 2012 predictions, as well as the ending of the 13,000 year masculine kundalini cycle, to offer practical advice and information that will help us evolve through the next four years – including what to expect and how to survive during the nearly inevitable pole shift.

“You are about to read the chronicle of a discovery process that unfolded one aspect at a time. Even though I’ve spent over four decades studying the map, when I got into the territory everything changed. Any preconceived notions fell by the wayside as I went along. Between the planets and the Prophesies what came together left me with a clearer sense of what we are about to go through – and my hope is that what gave me more clarity will do the same for you.”
