2012 Astrological Forecast

Welcome to an amazing 2012. This is shaping up to be a transformative year for the planet. The square from Uranus to Pluto is a global aspect which is asking us to change the way we treat each other and run business. The universe is reminding us that every successful venture begins with a foundation of love and respect for each other. This influence also reminds us that service to humanity is the impetus of further existence. This spiritually induced year is illuminating everyone’s consciousness as a whole.

Difficult times triggers awareness. It is during these challenging times that we question our faith and subsequently become more receptive to positive changes. Earth is simply our spiritual schoolroom to learn lessons in love. Those lessons are not easy, but they are definitely meaningful, and liberating, and bring miracles into our lives. This year is the time to allow your heart to be free from anguish and to be mindful of your thoughts and actions.

I do feel some profound deaths may occur. I believe their physical departure is part of their gift of illumination to society’s growth. Each of us carries the energy or power of love. We are all servants in the name of love. This astrological transit will help public officials to redirect their focus and recreate a more honest and loving world.

The following forecast is solely based on the planetary movements for this year. It doesn’t take the place of a personal chart consultation, since every chart is subjective based on your date, place, and exact time of birth. However, some signs are under immense cosmic influence and if you see your birth date mentioned, it will educate you on your journey. Also, the lunar cycles are very important. If you or someone you know has a birthday around a new or full moon, this will be a significant year for them.

Aries – Those born from March 20-29 will experience the Uranus Conjunction over their sign. Uranus is the planet of sudden change, excitement, and mental brilliance. These Aries will feel this energy strongly and may feel anxiety or nervousness. It is important to make the changes that you are guided to and not resist this influence. Uranus always brings spiritual insight and social awareness, so a new friend or group of friends may enter your life.

Those born March 27- 31 will experience the Pluto square to their sign. Pluto is the planet of intensity, transformation, and power. These Aries have been under this influence since 2011 and will feel the push to move forward in their next chapter this year. Pluto is also known as the planet of death and rebirth, so some may experience a loss or a death of a loved one during this period, but it would most likely trigger deep psychological change and a birth in a new way of thinking. A Pluto transit creates an added dimension in your identity.

Aries born in April will benefit from transiting Jupiter moving through your second house of money. Jupiter is the planet of luck, opportunity, and expansion. This financial stability or increase is more likely to manifest in the first half of the year. The latter half shows the last opposition from Saturn, the planet of reality, discipline, and patience. The polarization from Saturn asks that you balance out the needs of you and your partner. This is a period of objectivity and compromise, will especially affect those born April 11-19.

It’s not a promising time to begin a new relationship.
