The summer months are usually a time of relaxation, renewal and recreation. But in this year of 2012 there is a fourth element that must be considered; reckoning. The heavens are going to be a hotbed of astrological activity that is going to have profound impacts here on Earth and its denizens from a period beginning June 3 and running through July 26. From July 3 through July 26, the planetary dance reaches a frenzied pace. Astrologers and psychics will be focusing their skills in order to help forecast the events which may occur during this cosmic chaos.
There are several highlights that occur and will have great significance during that period. To begin with, the amount of retrograde action increases dramatically. Neptune, The Sea King, goes into reverse on June 4 with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, following suit on June 11. Adding to the mix is Uranus, the Sky Lord, heading rearward on July 13. To top everything off, the second Mercury retrograde of the year starts a day later on July 14.
The Neptune retrograde portends water related issues. The chance for a potent hurricane during that time is dramatically increased. Since Neptune also controls oil and gas, expect for a problem with shortages during the height of the summer travel season. Dreams and delusions will be squaring off with realty adding tension across the board. Chiron is following a similar course and will bring up old hurts, both politically and personally. These will need to be addressed and ‘healed’ or at least acknowledged.
Uranus moving backward is going to further enhance the spirit of revolution against the old orders world wide. When added to Neptune and Chiron, the chance for social and political upheavals is exacerbated as existing power centers totter against the weight of time and change is amplified. Protests, confrontations and the possibility of armed conflict is likely both internationally and domestically as Uranus’ position in Aries raises the emotional temperature to a boiling point.
If all of this weren’t enough, the Mercury retrograde will add to the confusion, uncertainty and frustration of communications issues, mental lapses and breakdowns, and a failure to maintain order. Main stream sources of news may be less than reliable and, on personal levels, break-ups and break-downs could occur with a greater frequency. Mercury retrogrades are challenging during a quiet period, however, this one could be devastating.
There are other major astrological events during this shortened period. The total eclipse of the moon on June 4 falls in Sagittarius. Eclipses in fire signs highlight discontent in society, a realization that essential resources are scarce and increased military activity. Even as a search for “the truth” continues, more summer fireworks than usual can be expected. The Summer Solstice itself occurs on June 20. As with any seasonal change, energies will be in flux. There is also a unique event with Venus transiting across the Sun for only the second time since 1882 and will not occur again until 2117.
Between the heat of Old Sol and the passion of Venus, the Goddess of Love, the emphasis is on what classic astrologers call ‘The Divine Feminine’. Expect an important woman (or women) to have a major impact during that time.
As mentioned before, the period from July 3 through the 26 is extremely active, particularly for the Messenger and Mars, God of War. Mercury has seven aspects during that three week period and Mars has six. Communications and aggression will blend with the other planets impacted further ramping up the tensions on all fronts.
While all the emphasis of prediction and prophecy has been placed on December 21, 2012, the real focus should be on the summer months. The energies swirling above will be reflected on us below and may well leave us trying to catch our collective and spiritual breaths well before the Mayan Long Count ends.

2012 The year ahead according to the Runes
As then tenth anniversary of 9-11 approaches, I find myself pondering exactly what doors may be opened on that date, the impact that this will bring-both nationally and on the world stage, and what the outcome might be. With announcements that new “credible” threats exist, the growing instability through much of North Africa and the Middle East, and a growing divide at home, this date may be a harbinger for many dramatic events, both in the short and long term.
It seems both fitting and proper to turn to the Runic Oracle to seek counsel on this matter. Although the Oracle is most often used for personal advice, the scope is only limited by the question put to it. My new book, The RuneChest, discusses the Oracle’s history and how to interpret its advice.
The first step in any casting is to pose a question: In this case, the question I have set before the Oracle is: What do we need to know about 9-11-11? I will use the Three Rune Spread. Read right to left, the first rune deals with the here now (think the current state of the matter), the second rune addresses the challenge which must be faced in the matter, and the third rune speaks to the future course of the matter.
Let us begin:
First Rune Hagalaz – This rune symbolizes archetypal and primal energy that disrupts the existing order and causes abrupt change. The term “radical discontinuity” had been used to describe its effect. Hagalaz reflects that energy that seems to be swirling around us, toppling the old and disrupting the existing order. The widening political and philosophical divide in the country is certainly reflected here. Much of what we have taken for granted is being shaken-particularly concerning our place in the world and our financial security. The stage is being set for a karmic wake-up which could strip away the fabric of the world as we know it.
Second Rune Algiz Reversed -This rune in the reversed position speaks to the challenge that we are facing as growth and progress is going to be stymied. How we meet this challenge could well dictate the future of prosperity in this country. This rune cautions that we are vulnerable to a strong negative force which will shake our existing plans. Since the force itself cannot be stopped, how we deal with obstructions and are willing to wait to move ahead when the way is clear.
Third Rune Jera – This rune, the rune of the future path shows that we will reap the “fruits” of our efforts in the past. It also is a gentle reminder of the cycle of birth-death-rebirth. The path ahead again mirrors that which I have written about in other articles, namely that the old and outmoded orders have come to the end of their course and that which is to be harvested (in the literal sense) will be a transformation rather than a continuation.
Taken as a whole, the Oracle counsels that this anniversary will strip away much of the façade that we have been dealing with, particularly in the areas of financial and national security. The reality that we will see will be marked with a lot of negative energy in the near term, yet if we can be patient (not the strongest trait in our national make-up), we will be able to move ahead when the storm clears. Even at that, however, the transformation of these outmoded systems, organization, and even beliefs, will still be dramatic and, like the phoenix, we will be called on to rise from the ashes of the past.
Thus Spake The Runes.

Odin’s Rune and Psychic Readings
Professional psychics usually ‘see’ images first – sometimes before a person asks a question. They also ‘feel’ emotionally where the client is and sometimes ‘hear’ words. They will usually tell callers what they are hearing and seeing as part of the reading. The longer the reading the more detailed information comes through because they are receiving more images.
Sometimes an advisor may ‘see’ things that do not make sense right at the moment. However, as they continue on with the reading it will make more sense. Images seem to appear first and then your advisor can interpret them as they come to in during the reading.
Most callers are polite and considerate when calling, however, some are very pushy. They want information right now and want yes and no answers. Unfortunately, that is not how it works. Pushing a psychic or tarot reader stresses them out and you will not get the most out of your psychic readings when being demanding or rude. This type of caller blocks the very information they want and need to know.
Below are some things to consider to get the best possible accurate psychic readings from your advisor.
7 Tips to Get Your First Accurate Psychic Readings
1. Get into a calm, relaxed state of mind
2. Pick a very quiet place to make your call from
3. Write down subjects you would like your advisor to read on
4. Explain the situation first before asking questions
5. Do not interrupt your advisor until they have finished giving information on your subject
6. Be careful not to judge the reading; let some time pass before making a judgment
7. Leave positive written feedback
It is very important to get centered and calmed down before making a call if you have been stressed out lately. Some people call and are so upset that it makes it very difficult to read through all of the emotions. This tends to block the information that comes in because emotions are very highly charged and it can be very difficult to read through this.
Be sure you arrange to get into a quiet room or place where you will not be disturbed for any reason. This will help you to feel calm and the privacy is very important. That way you can concentrate on what your psychic reader is saying to you.
Have a blank pad and paper right in front of you before you begin. Writing down your main concerns when you are in a calm, relaxed state will make sure you focus on exactly what it is you really want to know.
When you first begin your conversation, it is best to let the psychic or tarot reader get some idea of your emotional environment and they will start to pick up things as you are talking. You can make it brief. Jumping into yes or no type questions, or asking, ‘Do you see this’ or ‘Do you see that’ is leading the psychic in the direction you want the reading to take. Let your advisor give you what they see without your prompting.
Psychic professionals often see things well into the future that you need to make note of. It is common for first-time callers to assume that if a reader sees something in the future and they don’t think it will happen, please do not argue. The future has not yet come. Remember that if you don’t know what is in your future, arguing with an advisor who is a professional will get you nowhere.
Psychic advisors love to hear your feedback, especially if their predictions happen. They have no other way of knowing unless you leave feedback. Most sites have a client feedback system in place for you to contact your advisor. This lets them know that they did their job well.
It will be very important if you have never called a site before to take into consideration all of the tips above. This will get you the best out of your advisor and your future psychic readings will go much better if you’ll just take the time to prepare for them.

Mars, the God of War, is also active during these ‘lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer’. Much like the Messenger, Mars also has the quincunx aspect in play with Neptune and Chiron. Both the Sea King, Neptune, and the Wounded Healer, Chiron, are retrograde which further bring out their negative features. Disillusionment, frustration and anger at things which seem beyond control will all be heightened. Wrongs (real and imagined) are going to fester on the world stage which could lead to random acts of violence that could explode into a much larger political/economic conflict. This is particularly true during the last two weeks of the month.
The Mars, God of War, squares off literally with the Dark Lord, Pluto on July 17th. The visceral drive to eliminate that which is viewed as unacceptable or obsolete by force could lead to a reckless course of military action during that week. A day later, on July 18th, Mars opposes (again literally) the force of Uranus. The urge to through caution to the winds combined with the desire to revolt from real or perceived restrictions enhance the chance that a traditional power or authority is going to collapse without any clear alternative to replace it.
Personal relationships, too, are going to find themselves in the heat of the summer sun during July. Again, the difficult quincunx aspect between Venus and the Dark Lord on July 3rd, marks upheavals in matters of the heart and may leave many people feeling like they have boarded an emotional roller coaster of the e-ticket variety.
Chiron joins the party in a celestial cosmic ‘square dance with the Goddess of Love on July 7th sowing mistrust and doubt which cannot be conquered by and emotionally forcing matters. With all the other astral energies swirling during the month, to say that love is a battlefield could be an understatement.
One of the many features that makes this period so intense is the fact that there are five significant retrogrades occurring at the same time: Neptune, Mercury, Chiron, Pluto and Uranus. All will be moving in reverse and their combined retro-activity opens the door for upheaval and uncertainty. The fabric of what the world believes is ‘truth’ is going to be torn in ways that are both immediate and forceful. While the focus of 2012 was on the Mayan Prophecy of December 21st, far more powerful forces will interplay during the period from July 3rd though the 26th.
In a cosmic sense we all are being put on notice that there are some karmic debts coming due and the Universe will insure that they are paid both on a global and personal level. This could well be part of what the ancients saw as they peered into the night sky to cast the course of fate for those who follow. Perhaps seeking astral advice from those trained in the predictive arts may help find a course to follow even as the paths themselves are being reshaped.
