The astrology of 2012 - Uranus square Pluto - The struggle for change
From an astrological perspective 2012 promises to be quite an exciting and dramatic year although its highly unlikely the world will end!
The main transit for this year is the Uranus-Pluto square. Its influence began around 2010 and will continue until 2017 with the most intense years being 2012-15. This transit brings a lot of social, political and economic change throughout the world. It breaks down established political and economic structures, increases the revolutionary impulse among the people and can give rise to extremism. The last time we saw a similar transit was in the 1930s during the great depression that followed the Wall Street Crash. It brought about the rise of Hitler and fascism, the break up of empires and technological developments in aviation, car production, radio and television propelled the world into the modern era.
Over the next few years the world will go through an equally turbulent transition process. Rather than being something to fear or escape from it will bring a great deal of opportunity for new ways of seeing and engaging with the world. In times of stability it is very difficult to bring about a deep change in the status quo at both a material and subtle level but in times of crisis and flux thinking outside the box and radical new ideas have a greater chance of taking hold. However, many ideas that appear new and bold are simply rehashed from the old way of thinking. To bring forth something truly new the change is needed to take place at a very deep layer of the individual and collective psyche. This is the real challenge facing us over the next few years rather than coming up with external short term solutions to the current problems facing the world.
As if the Uranus-Pluto square was not enough to create the intensity needed for change we will soon be entering the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese Calendar. This begins with the New Moon on 23rd January and promises to bring passion, unpredictability and a tendency to throw caution to the wind and embark on bold new ventures.

The all day talk will obviously be more detailed and there will be an opportunity to go through your individual birth charts and how they will be impacted by the astrology of 2012. Both talks will involve a combination of explaining the key astrological transits and alignments for the year and then tuning in to them at an energetic level through meditation.
Please let me know if you would like to attend either of these talks as space is limited and I need to know numbers in advance.
