Here’s wishing everyone safety in the next two days given the impending fall from space of the UARS satellite. Actually, I’m quite surprised there’s not a heap of doom and gloom about this. The odds are strong that a piece of debris will hit a human; the odds are slim than any specific individual will be hit. I heard on our local news that the odds are better of an individual being hit by debris are better than winning the lottery. Anyway, there’s a reason for starting with this, but it’s yet a few paragraphs away.
The seasons changed a few hours ago. Time for spring cleaning Down Under, and an autumnal reset in the Northern Hemisphere. As well, in the past hours, Saturn aligned with Haumea - the Hawaiian-based, creativity/fertility goddess. Given the seasonal resorting and attitude shifts, presumably toward the frisky, upbeat and enthusiastic, what a great time to manifest (Saturn) some amazingly inspired creative visions (Haumea). Locate the spring of inspiration and drink heartily.
In honor of the Saturn-Haumea conjunction, let’s reframe a few recent astronomical notes... other than part of the human-made space junk ring around the Earth is falling. Some recent speculations indicate that some gold may have come to Earth from space. Wow! That’s a bit amazing. Maybe we should give meteor showers, near Earth objects (NEO), and potentially hazardous objects (PHO’s) a better place setting at the astronomical/astrological consideration smorgasbord. Combine that theory with the speculation that one of those planets discovered outside our solar system might be made up of diamonds and look what we can conclude. Maybe we no longer need to pillage the realm of Pluto to get the goods to make our propitiating gemstone ring. Maybe another planet, sure, but we yet don’t have a mythology for that.
Perhaps you’ve heard that another extra-solar planet discovered actually does have two suns. The proof of the planet’s orbit around both is a given. Astronomers are seeking the right to nickname it Tatooine from the Star Wars creators. Imagine living on a planet where everyone is a Gemini and something else too. It’s position relative to us is 12 Aquarius 01.
My favorite astronomical tidbit recently reported: amateur astronomers have discovered two extra-solar planets. This means that without the aid of Parkes, Palomar or the best telescope in the Chilean mountains, novices found two planets orbiting other stars! This is amazing! The best part of this: it kills the conspiracy theory that NASA and world governments are hiding the existence of Planet X/Nibiru from us. If astronomers can observe planets that would appear as minuscule dots around other stars in galaxies (or solar systems) far, far away, without first knowing where to look, imagine what they could do if they looked for a brown dwarf close enough to impact the earth with catastrophic perturbations fifteen months from now that should be in one of three varied locations it is actually reported to occupy. If it were there, it would be visible. After all, one of the YouTube videos promised it should have been seen last May, which is yet another correction to the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 promised appearance times.
Once and for all... there is no destructive Planet X coming to get us and soon, someone will drink enough tequila during spring break to flip over the Mayan Calendar and read the fine print. It would make more sense to wear a hard hat for the next day in case UARS is coming to a neighborhood near you.
Where this puts us is that there’s all this pressure squeezed onto 2012 needs to lighten up. Keep adding gravity to it and the year may become a black hole. There’s the Venus transit (more on that next year, and it’s quite cool!). There’s the Mayan Calendar. There’s not a Galactic Alignment (The Galactic Alignment, according to my parameters - the intersection of the ascending node of the galactic plane to the ecliptic - and data for those parameters confirms alignment back in 1999). And there’s a Presidential election here in the United States. That’s going to be either really good news or really bad news.
Now, I’ll admit I’m in a mood. I went to the University of Arizona this past week for an astronomy lecture on naming stars and constellations. Of course the Ophiuchus thing came up, but according to our lecturer, that started in 1930 (Oh my, Pluto’s discovery year) with the configuring of constellational boundaries by the International Astronomical Union. And it came up with a snide aside about how it makes astrologers crazy(ier). So here’s my new rant. Get used to it. As we go through the next years, the theme and what leads up to the grand cycle I’m proposing, will be abundantly peppered through Galactic Times renderings.
Here are the key points:
Evidence of the probability of a collective consciousness shift between now and December 2012 is thin at best. From where I sit, evidence is scarce.
The fear-mongering around 2012 is destructive and pinches off the realization that when we wake up on December 23, 2012, many will be stuck without a plan, or template for evolutionary consciousness. Those believing in the End of the World likely have thought no further. I’m concerned about the disorientation that many after investing in the fear-based scams and waking up with that empty “what was Y2K?” like hangover. Those with an extended plan will be summoned to nurse the “what, I still have a body and I’m not on space ship?” wake up call. Those with an extended plan would be those working in evolving consciousness realms responding to and including all the resources available. - including dwarf planets, galactic effects and the weird chakra spin reset divining rod being sold on some coupon-laden website.
Since the Galactic Alignment of 1999 did not produce the predicted shifts in collective consciousness, and given that consciousness seems to be lagging behind the evolution curve for 2012 (though, we can reassess this in June 2012, with the Venus transit of the Sun) perhaps we need to set our sights a bit further ahead for the beginning of the thousand years of peace, return of the benevolent aliens, second coming or the pay per view arm wresting match between Buddha and Shiva. I’d pay to see that!
Looking down the road a piece there are many notable aspects to come. Next year, Saturn opposes Eris, promising some sort of social networking rebellion. We’ll see Makemake to the Super-Galactic Center over the next years, demanding reformation of personal relationships. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers are personally dealing with Eris transiting natal Sedna, and it’s a big deal. But my favorite pattern(s) ahead: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn, square Eris in Aries and Haumea in Libra. This to me, is the butt-kicking, you better have it together Universal calling card. Personally, I don’t think humans can make the swing to total enlightenment in 2012. But I am optimistic that the sequence of traditionally unused transits between now and 2020 CAN do the trick, by building stepping stones and palatable shifts such that the patterns of 2020 click in and work.
What might happen? Well, Pluto being with Saturn and Jupiter in Capricorn should give the Plutocracy a serious scolding and time out. Maybe the appeal of markets and real estate will tank and be replaced by interest of economic investments that actually ensure the world will survive and its people flourish.
The resetting of real relationships based upon communication and in person engagement will likely override the disengaging activities of social networking. It won’t go away, but with the squares to the Capricorn trio, maybe there will be a valid purpose for it all.
If we’re lucky, maybe a massive reforestation of the Earth and honoring of all species will occur. The realization of the balance of nature, humans to animals, humans to planet, humans to Earth might catch on.
Genetic engineering and tampering with food can approach sanity... there is an open square to Cancer in these patterns, thus the obvious space for nurturing considerations.
If we’re lucky, maybe back injury aggravating speed bumps will become illegal.
Highlights occur in March of 2020 with Jupiter, Pluto and Mars aligned in Capricorn with Saturn ahead in Aquarius for the time. Come October and November of 2020, the Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto pattern to Eris and Haumea moves into tighter alignment. Now should an astrologer compare this to the overrated Cardinal cross of 2010 with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto and point out that the pattern is not as tight, and thick in 2010 as it was in 2010, that would be true. I’m guessing if all these were exactly aligned at the same time, instead of being spread out through a short term time interval, we’d need to develop a new fuse box for consciousness. As it is, I’m imagining the pattern will be perfect.
I am very optimistic about these patterns, given we obtain 20-20 vision of how it works between now and then. So, how about we commence an active decompression of the fear and angst wrapped around 2012? Let’s set our sights a bit further down the road to relieve some pressure, and tune into consciousness inspirations springing from the influences above, and fix this mess.
Are you in? Great!
