2012: the myth

Stardust Motel

I’m an astrologer, I coordinate astronomy and psychology, to be blunt about the task. Personally, I’m all about debunking certain myths. No, I still believe in the Jack-a-lope and the Chupacabra. And Bigfoot. And little green men from outer space, mysterious “Grays.” &c. Crash at Roswell? Absolutely fact.

I’m good with that. What I’m afraid of is the myth surrounding 2012 as the end times. I’d roll the clock back to 1904, one writer I admire suggested that was the year the new age was ushered in.

Jump forward, though, to 1987, Harmonic Convergence – Uranus/Neptune conjunction. 1994, Pluto into Sagittarius. NYE 2000, Y2K. May 2000, 7 planets in Taurus.

There was some work on the eclipse pattern, around the most recent inauguration. Suggested that either, the end was near, or it’s a new dawn.

I don’t recall anything from the Aztec Astrology predicting the end times when the Spanish invaded. So I’m wondering why the emphasis on the end times, now?

Footnote:
If it’s Nostrodamus, read in the original Middle French. Then get back to me. If it’s Meso-American? Again, in the original. Made me think about this week’s Scorpio message.

    “There was some work on the eclipse pattern, around the most recent inauguration. Suggested that either, the end was near, or it’s a new dawn.”

    Both. Life. Death. Re-birth. They are inextricably woven together, until one is released from the Wheel. Not 2012, I suspect. But the End of Bush, the death of the neocons and a new age of politics? Let us most fervently pray that they no longer prey, but lead/govern.
