This is the event chart for the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2012. The infamous date when the world is supposed to end. As an astrologer, I thought it would be interesting to study the chart at the moment of the Solstice itself – the moment when the Sun transitions to 0 degrees Capricorn.
Since there are so many different time zones on the planet, I used Universal time – the time for Greenwich, England. Astrology references back to Universal time to calculate charts so this seemed like the most appropriate time to use for a planetary event. The first thing that I noticed was that the time 11:11 popped up. Many people, including myself, have had experiences with recurring number patterns. 11:11 and 1:11 are two that are frequently mentioned. When I had my first 11:11 experience, I discovered that it was associated with Angels. This seemed very promising to me for an event chart. Especially when I noticed that Neptune was a 0 degrees Pisces conjunct the Ascendent. Neptune is the planet that rules the unconscious, dreams, the connection to God. A wonderful chance for spiritual growth.
The next thing that struck me was the incredibly strong Yod with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Outer planets have powerful energies to manifest major changes. A Yod – also known as the Finger of God – has two planets in crisis with the resolution through the Apex planet – in this case Jupiter. The energies of Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn are fascinating in this case. They suggest secretive organizational structures – institutions, companies, governments. The Apex – Jupiter in Gemini – shows the way out through an expansion of information.
Bottom line – I do not see the end of the world. I do see possibilities.
There will be challenges for organizational structures that have withheld or restricted information flow. The birth of the Internet and the ability to communicate with almost anyone on the planet can either be a part of the solution or another way to further obscure with miscommunication. There is also a wonderful chance for spiritual growth.
It is up to us as individuals to pursue the path that builds a better tomorrow.

Cool! Does this mean the Mayans had Astrology?

The Mayans did have astrology, although there is not a lot known about Mayan astrology interpretation. Their Zodiac had 19 signs instead of the 12 we use today. What the Mayans are best known for is the accuracy of their calendar systems. They were good astronomers and understood the major galactic cycles that occur over thousands of years.
