There has
been much speculation and debate over what has come to be known as the 2012
phenomenon. Many theories center on the end of the Mayan Calendar and a looming
cataclysmic event. Others prefer to subscribe to the belief that the year will
mark the beginning of a physical or perhaps spiritual ‘transformation’ of the
earth and its inhabitants [1]. For those that tend to think in the
latter, there is no imminent doom, but rather a ‘transformation of
consciousness’ that is somehow connected to the coming Galactic alignment in
2012 and the end of the astrological Age of Pisces.
For those
unfamiliar with Astrological Ages, they are astrological time periods. That
match with significant developments and changes in human civilization:
particularly related to culture, society, and politics. Their beginnings do not
coincide with any specific year, century or millennium. Instead, it is a slow
process, referred to by many astrologers as ‘the cusp’. It is at this point
that many believe we currently stand, between the ages of Pisces and Aquarius,
on the brink of a new epoch in human civilization. For anyone who has been
watching world events over the past few years, it seems clear that something
certainly is on the horizon.
