In order to offer some more insight into the 2012 prophecies of a "Great Shift of Ages" and offer a better understanding of what is about to occur in the very near future, I have decided to post this along with some information from an outstanding book I purchased called "2012: A Clarion Call" by Nicolya Christi. On to business then... First let me start by saying that while we cannot rule out apocalyptic visions of the future, that is not what the ancients had in mind when they recorded these prophecies. Prophecies about the globally important date of December 21st, 2012 can be found in many of the ancient civilizations. Prophecies about a coming World Shift have been documented in many Native American tribes, in the great central and south american tribes, in China, Egypt, Greece, and Sumeria. These prophecies speak of the Winter Solstice in 2012 as a time when many numerous great cycles and oscillations are reaching their end. It is the completion of the great cycles and a shifting of frequencies, vibrations, and an acceleration of energy and change that will be the herald of the great shift. Many of us do not realize that we are living in a time when things are going to happen that no other generation in the coming centuries will experience. Without further delay, let me elaborate on what exactly has happened in the prophecy so far, what is happening, and what will happen: -On December 21st, 2012 our Solar System including the Winter Solstice Sun will fall into absolute perfect alignment with the great Sun at the center of the galaxy, forming a criss-cross alignment of energy known as the great cross...something that only happens once every so many hundreds of thousands of years. -The Mayans in particular were interested in the time surrounding the Winter Solstice of 2012 as well as being focused on that specific date. According to their prophecy, the planets have been moving towards alignment with the great center sun since 1980. They will reach perfect alignment in 2012 and will not totally fall out of alignment until 2016. It is within these 4 years that we will experience the transition from the old age to the new one. There is for sure a New Age coming. However, in those 4 years, it is up to us whether it will be a golden age or a dark age. -The Western Astrological system speaks of the Shift of Ages, when one great astrological age moves into another. We are currently moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. -It is believed that we are now at the completion point of multimillion year circular orbit of our galaxy around the great central Sun at the center. (One orbit of the galaxy takes 225-250 million years; it is believed to have completed 20-25 orbits since it first formed.) Our galaxy moves through space in the form of continuously connecting circles, like a great cosmic spiral. As it completes this multi-million year orbit, our galaxy is connecting diagonally to the next ring in the cosmic spiral. When this happens, all of the planets, solar systems, and their inhabitants simultaneously taken an initiatory step into a new evolutionary cycle. -We are at the end of a 26,000-year cycle of Earth, Sun, and Galactic Plane (the plane in which most disk-shaped galaxies lies). From our perspective on Earth, the December Solstice Sun moves across the galactic plane--an event that happens once every 26,000 years--the result of which is to attune conciousness to higher frequencies (imagine shifting focus from lower to higher chakras). -We are in the last 2 years of a 5,125-year Mayan creation cycle, set to enter the new age, a time the Mayans referred to as the 9th Wave of Creation. -The Winter Solstice of 1998 was the mid-way point of the 36-year galactic alignment process. Because the Sun is so large, it will not complete its journey across the galactic equator until 2016. This process is predicted to induce extraordinary transformations in human conciousness. -The coming end date of 12/21/12 is written 13.0.0.0.0 in Mayan Long Count notation. It is the end of the current era and the start of the next era of the Long Count Calendar. The start of this current era in 3114 BCE is always written 13.0.0.0.0. In Mayan time philosophy, the end is also the beginning of the next cycle, though some people refer to 12/22/12 as the beginning of the next cycle because it is written 0.0.0.0.1. -On December 21st, 2012, Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn will be involved in an astrological formation known as a Yod ( finger of God). This translates to a higher vision (Jupiter) being projected out onto the physical plane (Saturn) and permeating spiritual will (Pluto). It allows us to align our physical and spiritual will and wholly support us in the manisfestation of a higher vision, while at the same time aiding us in letting go of the old world and the old ways (Jupiter Retrograde). This ties into the completion process suggested by the events of December 21st, 2012. -2012 marks the completion of a profoundly important phase of global healing that accelerated in 1999 at the time of the Solar Eclipse. The Maya describe this period of 13 years as "the Quickening." So as you can clearly see, December 21st, 2012 is a day like none we humans have seen for millenia. Now, the widest part of our galaxy is called "The Dark Rift," which corresponds to the direction of the center of the galaxy. John Major Jenkins, researcher of Mayan cosmology and philosophy, and author of the books, Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, Galactic Alignment, and The 2012 Story, tells us that as the 2012 Winter Solstice Sun aligns with the Dark Rift and the Solstice meridian then passes to the other side of the center of the galactic equator, this will create a field effect energy reversal. As we resonate with the field sourced from the galactic center, we will be affected by this changing orientation. The end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar will culminate in a pole shift in our collective conciousness. The final activations of 2012 are: -On June 6th, 2012, Venus will transit the Sun, that is, it will travel between the Earth and the Sun. Venus transits come in pairs every 8 years. The first of the current Venus transits occurred on June 8th, 2004, and the next one occurs on June 6th, 2012. After this date there will not be another Venus transit until 2117. Ancient calendar scholars tell us that the 2012 transit will be a rare and very special conjunction of the Sun and Venus; it is said that a new world conciousness will be born during it and will proceed to spread as more and more conciously enlightened individuals rise up. It is believed that the Maya considered a Venus Transit a "circuit breaker," switching off the sunspot cycle and impacting the Sun, Moon, Earth, and Venus system. Every planet has its own unique frequency or rate of vibration; since ancient times, Venus has been associated with divine unconditional love. During a transit the Suns rays intensify and direct the frequencies of Venus towards the Earth, bathing it in the energies of Venus for 7 hours. -Venus is getting closer to aligning with Pleiades and will conjunct Alcyone, the star of the Pleiades, on April 3rd, 2012. Some believe that Alcyone holds our Akashic records (information of our past, present, and future lives). -On May 20th, 2012 there will be a rare solar eclipse in which the Sun and Moon conjunt Pleiades. -A second Solar Eclipse on November 13th, 2012, will occur close to the Serpens, the serpent held by Ophiuchus, found in the thirteenth constellation. situated between Scorpio and Sagittarius. Ophiuchus is also known as the shaman/serpent healer. In conclusion, what is going on: Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in a time of transition like no other seen since the end of the last age in human history. We sit on the cusp of a new dawn, a new human...brought about by the divine miracle of the coming together of several energies, the end of several great cycles all at once, and the intergalactic and universal alignments not seen in the past several millenia. The new age of human history and that of earths history is coming. If you can feel it coming, then you are on of the enlightened ones...it is those of us that can sense this coming great shift that are the ones that will promote the new age and help the world and all of its creatures transition. Not all the details are known, but rest assured, the Age of Pisces which dawned with the fall or Rome and has contained everything but a sense of "one-ness" is almost over, and the new age, Aquarius is nearly here at last. I certainly do not think its a coincidence that everything in the cosmos is coming together at once, that all of the great cycles of time are ending all at once...Its coming, and I will do my part to make it glorious. Will you? "We are stardust, we are golden...and we've got to get ourselves back to the ga-a-ar-den!" -CSNY
thanks Virginia Hippie for this informative post. I'm hoping for the best when these transitions come
yeah i love how all these people talk about some serious astrophysic science like they understand it, but they regurgitate the same BS fundamental stuff that anybody that takes an intro astrophysics class could dismiss. of course, these same people also dismiss the intro level astrophysics, because most of these people are paranoid conspiracy theorists, so that 'college' is really just made up information. for real, i wish people would stfu and just keep living. if anything happens, it happens - but science to this date says nothing will
if this were posted in a forum about science, I think that it would be ok to bust on it it's the astrology forum though. it's intended, I assume, as a place where people who believe in astrology can talk about astrology
^good point. but how, then, does astrology affect our physical world? it DOESN'T - that's ASTRONOMY. the claims being made are astronomical, being backed by astrological 'evidence'
