After observing the “signs of the times” for years with great dismay, finally hope is blossoming. It began with my friend and astrologer telling me she searched for planetary aspects which might indicate what to expect for 2012, and there weren’t any. Astrologically, 2012 is unusually peaceful in terms of aspects; it’s all happening now. This is the year of great upheaval, some of which will bleed over to early 2012, but by the time we get to the dates which were noted in the Mayan calendar, we will be living in a new reality.
New realities can sound frightening to some, particularly those most resistant to change. Perhaps it will ease some anxiety to look at how far we have come, say in the last thousand years. In the generation living in 1012, CE, you lived and died where you were born, if you were lucky. If you weren’t lucky, you were conscripted into some army and died violently very soon after. No one expected to better themselves or rise above the life of a serf and become wealthy. Today anyone with enough drive and vision can go anywhere.
The reality we are approaching will be as different from today as today is different from the way people lived a thousand years ago. Einstein said the most important decision we all have to make is whether or not we live in a friendly universe. I am convinced we live in a friendly universe, one that conspires for our good. For me that indicates that the new reality will bring a better life for all the children of the earth.
I will be posting the “signs of the times” that I see in future blogs. Please subscribe and add your own observations.
