December 21st 2012, is a date long awaited by some folk as its the end of a 5000 year cycle in the ancient Mayan calendar. Drama queens eagerly suggest it means the end of the world is nigh, and use the unusual pattern of planets on the 21st, called a Yod (aka the finger of fate or destiny) as evidence. But 2012 has been a year where we all moved into new territory on a personal level, shifting from old mind-sets to a whole new world somehow. In this context, the end of the old world has already happened, and the Dec 21st Yod simply focuses on what comes next, the new cycle underway. To find out what this means for you read on….
Aries
21st March – 20th April
‘Be the change you want to see’ said Ghandi, and you were certainly a conduit and catalyst for change this year. Driven by an intense desire for more freedom to be yourself, particularly regarding career and status, you have been willing to roll with the punches and move with the times on this, though with an uneasy acceptance of progress, as impatience about the long-term goal sometimes made you short-sighted about what you’ve achieved so far. But you finally seem to be getting the message this month that it’s the journey as well as the destination you have to take credit for.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
You’ve been on a real learning curve this year, maybe literally through education or via the kind of experience that only travel can bring, but however it happened it broadened your mind and opened your eyes to new views and perspectives you might not have thought possible a few years ago. This month you are challenged to put your money where your wisdom is and invest in the power of your own experience. Trust you now know who and what to trust, then share your joy accordingly.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
What is about to be offered, via an important new or existing relationship, is a chance to express the you that you’ve been quietly getting up to speed with this year. This is the updated you, with needs and preferences based on where you are now, and where you’re now heading, rather than who you used to be. It’s taken this long to get here, so enjoy and savour the opportunity to encounter so much more of yourself via relationships; including one in particular.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Paradoxically, it’s been a steady, stable harmony or agreement with a certain person or situation that inspired your urge for some alone time. Kind of like feeling that someone you trust has your back, it means you are free to relax and retreat. There’s a healing element to all this, with a rather spiritual tone, as the sense of wholeness you thought could only come from certain circumstances or people, you find freely available within you, thanks to your willingness to make your own positive reflection your priority (especially around the 28th)
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
The adjustments you’ve been choosing to make (or sometimes feeling slightly pushed to make), particularly regarding home and family, might pay off this month as its time to give yourself a break and focus more fully on fun and friendship, and you’ll find those adjustments ensure the best possible opportunities arrive to do just that. It’s a full on full moon for you around the 28th, as it carries the theme of rebirth and renewal; perfect timing for the end of an era and beginning of a new you.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
There have been certain limits and restrictions placed on you this year that have actually helped rather than hindered your creative output in all kinds of ways, especially recently. A bit of pressure and the call for more discipline just fires your creative juices rather than dampens your spirits. The next step in this points to opportunities appearing, maybe career or financial related, that you might not know what to do with at first. It’s just requires some adjustment however, and events at the moment seem designed to help you with that.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
With the sun moving into your home and family angle from the 21st, it’s a time when your comfort zone can get quite crowded with visitors, and what happens around the 28th indicates a need to let go of trying to control that comfort zone and trust the process. In general, 2012 has had a family and finances theme, which is going to benefit from some great communication this month. Harmonious debate and dialogue is your aim.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
You’ve had to be disciplined with yourself this year, as the urge for a total transformation of circumstances is always strong in you but you’ve been learning it serves you best to approach it in stages. This has been easier to achieve since October, and feels even easier this month, though part of this involves speaking up or speaking out about what or who you value most, which is always a challenge for Scorpio to admit. Also, what happens around the 28th is significant for long-term plans and ambitions.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
You’ve felt tested to the max in certain situations this year, over themes relating to security, stability, and self-esteem. In the darkest moments, support came where you least expected it, via some quiet moments with yourself, and you learned that keeping the faith is easier without others opinions getting in the way. However you seem to be now called to share your message of optimism with others. It’s certainly the most magical time of year for it.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
This year there’s been nothing like knowing you are the boss to brighten your mood, and you play the provider role effortlessly, which has all helped so much regarding a responsibility you feel towards certain groups and gatherings. You have been feeling blessed by the growing sense of community and friendship, and there’s a particular focus on those relationships this month (especially around 28th), and it benefits you to invest your attention there, even though some adjustments may have to be made.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
This year, bringing structure and definition to your deepest, dearest held plans and ambitions has involved taking a behind the scenes role somehow, especially regarding work and career. It has allowed you the greatest chance for full concentration and commitment, with an almost obsessive approach to focusing on the task at hand. Now you are being challenged to relax, let go, and feed the fun-seeker in you. Can you cope with trusting all the moving parts to work without all your attention? You are about to find out.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Friendship and travel have blended well this year. So have friendship and education, and also finding like minds who share views and opinions that are important to you. All this pointed to a more expanded comfort zone for you; a feeling that family can mean so much more than you thought. This month there’s a suggestion that you are again looking long term linked to this; maybe through work and career perhaps? What happens around the 28th firms up the courage of your conviction regarding this.
