2012 is an eventful year. The world isn’t coming to an end. But the ways we think and believe will end, because a new evolutionary force is entering our world - a force for good, for “life more abundant.” We’ll experience major shifts of awareness this year as humanity enters into a deep pondering upon values and ideals, ideas we have been taught, and our beliefs around those ideas.

In January, the structures we know and believe in will begin to disappear more rapidly. In the morning sky we see Mars and Saturn, the two planets that create tests and restrictions, assist in strengthening our core values of goodness, provide us with the force of new activity, and ask that we eliminate all that obstructs our goodness and Goodwill. The keywords for 2012 are flowing, flexibility and adaptation. Life is on the move now. We must, appropriately, be, too. With the heavens guiding us.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) You’re bold, adventurous and know all about beginnings. You’re able to accomplish great things if allowed freedom and non-judgment. Your desires and aspirations take you on exciting journeys. Studying builds your mind. Love happens.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20) Many see you as the consistent, un-complex one, driven to care for others, sustaining them unto infinity. They think you’re stubborn, unable to change. What they don’t know is that you’re thinking, assessing, seeking mental illumination.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Gemini, the mutable twin, provides the original matrix of learning, offers the fact of duality, the good & bad, the personality & Soul, matter and Spirit. You create a dialogue - often a mystery – as one side of you dims while the other brightens. You carry messages.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) You’re tide-like, moody, different each time we encounter you. You’re protected, shielded and walk crab-like around an object in order to ascertain safety. You’re intuitive but often feelings are so deep they’re unable to be understood. You cook and nurture, find water where others can’t, and remember the past with precision. You want to be close but can’t unlock your shield. Try again.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 20)

Your contact with the Sun allows a light to be revealed on Earth that humanity thirsts for. You’re aware and not aware of this. You’re able to radiate light through Right Governing, Right Relations and coming always from the heart. Your work is to Love More.

VIRGO (Aug. 21-Sept. 20) Sometimes you suffer from nervousness, the brilliance of your mind overflowing with ideas that hardly any mind can hold. Often you feel unsure of ideas becoming ideals, and you think sometimes you need a new reality of self, one that contains a different level of confidence.

LIBRA (Sept. 21-Oct. 20) Is there something you need to discuss with another? Are you shifting priorities? Are choices and decisions made several months ago changing again? Relationships are primary working tools for Libra. One day, having learned so much, you live alone for a while. Often, the ideal in your mind cannot meet the reality on Earth. Do you then turn away?

SCORPIO (Oct. 21-Nov. 20) As fiery water, often you obsess about something or someone. Experiencing the “burning grounds,” you’re tested nine times, everyone leaves you, and hardly anyone matches your passions. Learn to surrender. Often you cannot hear others, listening as you do to your own emotions. Try.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20) You think you’re free and easy, but really you’re traditional, kind-hearted, often hurting. Situations occur that stop you in your tracks so you can find your Way back to the light again. You’re often happy. Jupiter loves you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) You act like a traditionalist but are actually a revolutionary. You may not show up in person for the Occupy movement but you’re with them heart, mind, Soul and Spirit. Sometimes people turn away from you. You understand. Maintain the fire in the heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 20) Some Aquarians are from the future and feel lost, alien, interested, curious and wondering when they can go home. The spiritual Aquarian holds a water pot. In that pot are the stars of astrology, the new physics, and the “waters of life the Aquarian pours forth for thirsty humanity.” Aquarians need community. Where is it? Does anyone know?

PISCES (Feb. 21-Mar. 20) You know life as a Pisces is so different. You live in the etheric folds of the universe where the very templates of life are created by starry light beings. You’re one yourself, visiting here for a while. Sorrow you understand. And Light.
