Anyone who has been listening knows there is a lot of talk this year about 2012 being the end of the time according to the Mayan calendar. Certainly popular media is going to be dog piling in on this theme in the next few months.


As an astrologer, I can tell you change IS coming. It’s already in the air. We sense it. We crave it. Fearing it does no good. The build up to this year has been in the works since the transformative energy of Pluto entered the hardnosed, pragmatic sign of Capricorn in 2008.


Pluto’s message is one of decay, followed by new life. It knocks down anything that no longer serves the evolution of the species. It is the destroyer, the phoenix rising from the ashes.


Pluto energy is generational, changing signs about 24 years. It’s big, powerful, and impersonal. It does not care who gets injured in the process. The financial collapse, social unrest, and environmental events of 2008-2011 are just the start of big changes ahead. This energy will be active until 2024. Whatever area Pluto shines it’s light on, has nowhere to hide. And now it has Capricorn to transform.


Capricorn energy is about ambition, stability, structure, power, and, power brokers. With Pluto in the mix, expect challenge and change within financial, political, management, patriarchal, and corporate systems.


It gets worse. Pluto is not the only elephant in the room. The planet Uranus brings a demand to break with tradition and sweeps away old structures. Uranus thinks out of the box, demands flexibility and innovation, and sparks sudden, revolutionary events. People behave in unexpected ways, the weather is unpredictable, and the need for something new and better is tangible. Life as we know it is about to end: out with the old, in with the new. This is why the idea of the world ending in 2012 rings true.


In June 2010 Uranus entered the first degree of Aries to begin another eighty-four year trip around the zodiac. In Aries, Uranus becomes active, physical, confident, pioneering, courageous, and maybe a bit naive. We have already seen it in the Arab Spring and Occupy movements. Everything gets redefined. Uranus last entered Aries in April 1927. Looking back will do you no good. Uranian energy is from the future and points the way forward.


In the last ten days of June 2012 we see the energy of Uranus and Pluto come to a point of crisis in relationship to each other. The last time humanity faced this sort of crossroads was in April 1932, after a five year run up with imbalances of power and wealth that spawned the Great Depression and the rise of Nazi Germany. This time the stakes are higher, the methods equally cutthroat, and the price possibly our survival as a species.


The message is clear: humanity must surrender anything of the past that no longer serves our highest good. Organizational structures much change. It’s like the house of a compulsive hoarder catching fire; deep psychological forces are at work. Truth must be told to power. Aries demands courage in the face of fear. How we manage things will be transformed – whether we like it or not. This is an evolutionary earthquake designed to release built up tensions that can no longer stand the strain. The forces here seem beyond anyone’s control, and yet we are all in this together.


June is only the first of three crisis points that will be active through September 2013. How it will manifest I am not entirely sure. The lesson of this time demands a choice. Every individual, family, country, and the planet as a whole has a choice. To the degree that we surrender the past, and face the present with courage and a willingness to innovate, we have an opportunity to redefine and restructure a better future.


Fasten your seat belts and be open, true, honest, and compassionate: it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
