Forecast For 2012
Astrology Versus The Popular Culture Of Fear
By Theodore White; judicial Astrolog.S
October 2009
Over the course of several months I've received many emails from people asking me about the doomsday scenario painted by popular culture astrology and those in the mainstream media about the "end of the world" that they say is coming on December 21, 2012.
While reminding anyone who asked that the end of the world certainly will not occur on that date, it still amazes me to no end how many people continue to believe - and fear - the year of 2012 as the Apocalypse.
Astrologers will be busy people in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012 as the public's fear levels rise due to unsubstantiated rumors, television shows mixing a patchwork of metaphysics with biblical prophecies and astrology to build a case for the end on the world on one day without having even the most basic understanding of Mayan mundane astrology, their astronomic calendar, or even the calendar of the modern astronomical age.
An Associated Press article dated October 11th zeros in on much of the popular culture fear surrounding the Mayan Calendar, and the year 2012 -
MEXICO CITY – "Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world.
Or is it?
Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff."
It can only get worse for him. Next month Hollywood's "2012" opens in cinemas, featuring earthquakes, meteor showers and a tsunami dumping an aircraft carrier on the White House.
At Cornell University, Ann Martin, who runs the "Curious? Ask an Astronomer" Web site, says people are scared.
"It's too bad that we're getting e-mails from fourth-graders who are saying that they're too young to die," Martin said. "We had a mother of two young children who was afraid she wouldn't live to see them grow up."
Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan ideas.
A significant time period for the Mayas does end on the date, and enthusiasts have found a series of astronomical alignments they say coincide in 2012, including one that happens roughly only once every 25,800 years.
But most archaeologists, astronomers and Maya say the only thing likely to hit Earth is a meteor shower of New Age philosophy, pop astronomy, Internet doomsday rumors and TV specials such as one on the History Channel which mixes "predictions" from Nostradamus and the Mayas and asks: "Is 2012 the year the cosmic clock finally winds down to zero days, zero hope?"

One can see such mass fear building such as in this video here -

Though our Sun will rise on December 21, 2012, on the winter solstice at 0-Capricorn, and be situated at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. This does not mean that the world is coming to an end.
Yet, all over the Internet, and on popular culture television shows, we continue to see a series of patchwork "doomsday scenarios" created; mixing confusing and error-filled astrology, Nostradamus, the Mayan Calendar and "quoting" biblical prophecies as pointing to one single date - that of December 21, 2012.
In reviewing the transits of that day not much stand outs other than two Yod configurations which I have interpreted as not pointing to the "end of the world" - but to the "end of the rumors of the end of the world."
Actually, this chart for this day is quite favorable, as there are not too many hard aspects and the elements of earth, fire, air and water are nicely balanced.
For those not familiar with what a "YOD" means. It is called in mundane astrology, "The Finger of God." Basically, a Yod is constructed by a sextile aspect between two planets that are 60-degrees apart - with both planets in a 150-degree aspect called a quincux to third planet - forming what appears to be a "finger" pointing to the single third planet from the other two planetary bodies.
There are deeper mystical connections to the Yod in theological astrology that originated with Hebrew mysticism however, for the sake of length, I will not go into that here. For more,
See - http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Yod/yod.html
The month leading up to December 2012, shows that on November 28, 2012, there is a strong Yod involving Mars/Pluto in Capricorn conjoined by sextile aspect to Venus/Saturn in Scorpio - and all four planets pointing to Jupiter, retrograde in Gemini.
This shows that the public mania in the run up to mid-December 2012 consists of true fear, scare tactics, rumors, and acts of suicides based on a lie that is being promoted by the Internet popular culture of fear, media scare tactics and pronouncements of the "end of the world" and most dangerous of all - plain, unfettered, and total ignorance.
Making matters worse, and emotions at a fever high pitch, is that November 28, 2012 is the start of a Full Moon Week in Gemini - adding to mass actions, cult-like gatherings, and exploitation of many people who truly believe that the world is going to end in less than a month from that date.
This period, from November 28, 2012 to December 21, 2012, is therefore the most dangerous period for impulsive actions based on wild rumors and ignorance. It is important to remember that before this time to talk and help educate others - especially the young and impressionable, to educate them against believing what they read, see and hear on the Internet, television and on Twitter about the Mayan Calendar.
Expect lots of chatter, rumors (Gemini) and running around clueless leading up to this date in December 2012; with news shows headlining "something" is supposed to happen - scaring the daylights out of tens of millions of people who will run on the stores, clearing out shelves; driving dangerously on the streets chatting mindlessly on cellphones, while others decide this is a time to get away with just about anything that causes trouble and scares even more people.
I've seen it - and it is not only very shameful, but is a total mess.
Just like the Y2K scare of 1999 - even those who considered themselves to be "intelligent" went about preparing furiously for the crash of all civilization on December 31, 1999, while many - just think of it - were wholly and totally unprepared for the events of September 2001.
Back to December 21, 2012:
The day before the winter solstice - Thursday, December 20, 2012, is a mess. The transiting Moon in Aries is conjoined to Uranus in Aries and is square to the transiting Sun about to enter Capricorn. There are multiple accidents on this day, mainly to the head and eyes (Aries) due to the conjunction of Moon to Uranus in Aries.
This comes from the mindless rushing around from place to place caused by the public mania that has built up over the years, and especially since late November. That whole period - late November to December 22, 2012 is a very good time to stay off the roads. Talk about car insurance rates jumping! Jeez.
Of the two main Yods on that "fateful Friday," of December 21, 2012, the first Yod is formed from a sextile aspect between Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn pointing to Jupiter in Gemini (the public) - this one is showing the general world's fear of this date in December 2012.
Saturn shows the talk/rumors the Mayan calendar and of dark things (Scorpio) and Pluto is the power-structure (Capricorn) concern over the popular fears pointing to the release point of Jupiter, retrograde in Gemini (the masses.)
The second Yod is also worrisome because this one feeds off the first, but is a reactionary response that can hurt others. This Yod has the North Lunar Node in Scorpio in sextile aspect to Mars in Capricorn - both pointing to Ceres, retrograde in Gemini (the public's children.) The kids are scared and a rumor among the young - especially teenagers peaks during this period from late November to mid-December 2012.
The Lunar Node in Scorpio reinforces all the talk/rumors of dark things (popular talk of the end of the world) and Mars is a control mechanism in Capricorn seeking to "make plans" just in case "something happens" - both point to Ceres, indicating the young, who have been scared of what is going to happen because they have been told by friends, the media, etc., to "expect something bad to happen on December 21, 2012..."
The effects are a lot of people doing the Y2K run around all over again. Then, afterward, being felt let down by others who talked Dec. 21, 2012 to death - mostly online and on TV - and then looking to find blame for being so gullible.
Because both Yods point to tropical Gemini, you can expect the popular culture shows before that time in December 2012 to continue to hype that time - but nothing will happen as they say it will according to my calculations. What is important is to look several months earlier, the months of May and June 2012.
As for the "end of the world" on December 21, 2012: Astrology does not work this way. The important transits are signs of things to come - and these are numerous events that are connected to geographic regions by transits, but not for the entire planet on one single day.
This is in accordance with the principles of mundane astrology. Only God himself knows when Judgment Day will occur, but few astrologers may or may not have knowledge of the times and seasons nearer to that time. However, according to my calculations the end of the world will not happen on December 21, 2012.
My concern for December 2012 is that some nutty and very badly ill-informed people will attempt to "make something" happen when the date comes and passes by, since the transits after this time are quite strong going into late 2013, and 2014.
The real issues are much deeper, broader, and longer-range, and stem from the configurations highlighting most of the 2010s - however, earlier in 2012 (spring, summer & autumn) there will be problems associated with influenza, that will make 2012 remarkable for the world. More on this below in my forecast...
However, by December of that year, and especially on Friday, Dec. 21, all that will happen is a lot of fearful expectations for something - anything - to happen - the expectation itself is the real "event" in my estimation.
However, most of this shows a lot of worry evaporating and people calling one another names on Internet boards, discussion groups after the media hypes everything and then turns and says,
"See - nothing happened. It was all bunk."
The huge let down is followed by massive Internet postings with acerbic and blaming comments found everywhere - particularly on the day after, on Saturday, December 22, 2012. Fathers especially are pissed off - Mars in Capricorn squares the Moon in Aries that day. Many women are ticked off at some of their "astrologers" (Venus opposed to Jupiter on that day) who perpetuated the December 21, 2012 myth of the end of the world.
You see - it ruined the Christmas feel for much of the month of December, which, by the way, is just three days away from Dec. 21-22, 2012.
All that wild talk about the "end of the world" with the fear associated with it - and many people simply forgot about Christmas.
"Why buy gifts if the world is going to end anyway?"
What a total, unforgiving, waste of time mess.
Watch and see for yourself. However, when the world does not come to an end on December 21, 2012, most people will close their minds once again to the real astrological events to come during the rest of the decade, particularly the events after the total eclipse of the Sun over the U.S. in August 2017, but then again, that's for a later mundane forecast.
August 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse - http://shadowandsubstance.com/2017/2017e.html
A Mundane Look at The Year 2012
What stands out about this year is the fact that major celestial transits do take place in 2012 - continuing the strong world transits in the world since 2008. The Cardinal Crisis transits of mid-summer 2010 extend into the early months of 2011.
As the transiting Lunar Nodes wind down on the Capricorn/Cancer axis to enter the Sagittarius/Gemini axis in March 2011 we see that transiting Uranus ends its 84-year cycle since 1927-28 and begins a new orbital period by entering 0-Aries on March 11-12, 2011.
The year 2011 is mainly a positive year, especially for the United States, which had been for a decade mired by internal domestic conflicts along with international condemnation since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
I expect popular culture fear to begin becoming more pronounced with two lunar eclipses: one on June 15, 2011 at 24-Sagittarius and the second lunar eclipse of the year on December 10, 2011 at 18-Gemini. These eclipses point to global events that will take place in the spring months of 2012.
The Venus Transit of May/June 2012
If Florence was in the grip of an epidemic of colds, coughs and fevers, astrologers declared that it was caused by the influence of an unusual conjunction of planets. This sickness . . . came gradually to be known as "influenza."
- Chronicles of a Florentine Family 1200-1470.
Time, June 24, 1957, pg. 80
While most of the media's attention is on December 2012, I have been looking deeply into the coming Venus transit of May/June 2012. It is here that I believe the concern should be, and not on December 2012. I will explain my reasons why.
The major celestial happening in 2012 will occur in May & June 2012, with the Venus Transit across the face of the Sun. The last transit was in June 2004.
This transit of Venus in June 2012 will also take place on Venus' southern node, and it is the coming 2012 Venus Transit that, according to my mundane judgment points to a very serious global health emergency - a pandemic - which is most likely the return and another mutation of the H1N1 virus - this time, much more expansive than the 2009 outbreak. More on this below.
This transit of Venus begins as Venus stations retrograde at 23-degrees of tropical Gemini on May 15, 2012 with Venus crossing the face of the Sun on June 6, 2012. The sidereal position will be at 20-degrees of the horns of the Bull, Taurus, in early June 2012.
The Sidereal astrologer Nick Anthony Fiorenza says that,
"The retrogrades of 2004 and 2012 occur in the second half of sidereal Taurus--in the "horns of the bull." El Nath is the north horn and Al Hecka is the south horn. The 2004 / 2012 retrogrades begin just under Auriga (the charioteer) and under the auspices of Capella, the messenger of light, and just under Al Nath, the north horn.
The retrogrades complete over Aldebaran and Hyades. Aldebaran is the "Eye of the Bull" marking the center (~15°) of sidereal Taurus. The "Gate of Man" of the Holy Cross is also shown. It lies at 5° sidereal Gemini, at the feet of the Twins, Pollux and Castor. The Twins stand upon the galactic equator."
"Venus begins its retrograde on May 15 2012 conjoined El Nath and Al Hecka (the horns of the Bull) and Meissa (the head of Orion) and the belt of Orion.
The Transit occurs on June 6, 2012 conjoined Kursa of Eridanus (when Venus crosses the ecliptic). The retrograde completes on June 27, 2012 in the Hyades, which is a stellar asterism that lies just before Aldebaran (the Eye of the Bull). Aldebaran marks the center of the sidereal sign of Taurus."

Global Health Concerns
It is my belief that there will be another major global pandemic in the spring, summer, and autumn months of 2012.
The best way to protect against this coming pandemic is to use the knowledge of astrological medicine, which leads to the application of Silver in protecting yourself and your loved ones from infection while at the same time powerfully strengthening the immune system.
Astrologers of yore discovered how silver applied to human maladies not only heals, but then protects a person from further sickness.
See - http://www.silvermedicine.org/history.html
I also suggest that those reading this take steps to protect themselves, and their families by countering this pandemic with the use of Colloidal Silver:
See - http://colloidal-silver-bullet.blogspot.com/2006/11/colloidal-silver-purchase.html
See - http://altered-states.net/barry/update93/index.htm
And - http://www.successfulhealing.com/Colloidal-Silver.htm
At this time, most people know of the global pandemic of the H1N1 virus, which spread like wildfire throughout the world in March 2009, continuing to infect millions of people into the autumn of 2009.
In my practice of astrobiology, a sub-set natural astrology that studies the effects of planetary transits on the health of populations, it has been observed that plagues are associated with the transits and inferior conjunctions of Venus to the Sun -
See - http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/vel/1918ss.htm#top
See - http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/vel/ven-tran.htm
1918 Global Influenza/Venus - http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/vel/1918-03.htm
So, what we have here is a mundane forecast, and a warning to take care of one's immune system. This comes at a good time since many people are still very much unhealthy, overweight, and eating much too much junk food that diseases just love as it breaks down our natural defenses that much more for them to try to sicken, and, if possible, to kill us.
Remember that the H1N1 is still out there, and though in a weakened form, it still has made, and continues to make many people sick, and has also continued to take lives.
This year, next year of 2010, and 2011 is an excellent time to build up your immune systems, those of your families, and pets, and to be ready - not solely for the date of the so-called "end of the world" on December 21, 2012, but for that earlier spring, summer and autumn months of 2012.
Forewarned is very much indeed forearmed. I believe in the power of foreknowledge, and to give that to human beings who can choose their own destiny - not the other way around. Fear is for suckers. But we must battle ignorance at every turn.
The stars incline, but they do not compel. We, human beings, are in control, and foreknowledge is power. Use that power yourself to fight ignorance - especially the ignorance about December 21, 2012.
A wise American president once said, "There's nothing to fear except fear itself."
Can you dig it?

I expect popular culture fear to begin becoming more pronounced with two lunar eclipses: one on June 15, 2011 at 24-Sagittarius and the second lunar eclipse of the year on December 10, 2011 at 18-Gemini. These eclipses point to global events that will take place in the spring months of 2012.
The Venus Transit of May/June 2012
If Florence was in the grip of an epidemic of colds, coughs and fevers, astrologers declared that it was caused by the influence of an unusual conjunction of planets. This sickness . . . came gradually to be known as "influenza."

While most of the media's attention is on December 2012, I have been looking deeply into the coming Venus transit of May/June 2012. It is here that I believe the concern should be, and not on December 2012. I will explain my reasons why.
The major celestial happening in 2012 will occur in May & June 2012, with the Venus Transit across the face of the Sun. The last transit was in June 2004.
This transit of Venus in June 2012 will also take place on Venus' southern node, and it is the coming 2012 Venus Transit that, according to my mundane judgment points to a very serious global health emergency - a pandemic - which is most likely the return and another mutation of the H1N1 virus - this time, much more expansive than the 2009 outbreak. More on this below.
This transit of Venus begins as Venus stations retrograde at 23-degrees of tropical Gemini on May 15, 2012 with Venus crossing the face of the Sun on June 6, 2012. The sidereal position will be at 20-degrees of the horns of the Bull, Taurus, in early June 2012.
The Sidereal astrologer Nick Anthony Fiorenza says that,
"The retrogrades of 2004 and 2012 occur in the second half of sidereal Taurus--in the "horns of the bull." El Nath is the north horn and Al Hecka is the south horn. The 2004 / 2012 retrogrades begin just under Auriga (the charioteer) and under the auspices of Capella, the messenger of light, and just under Al Nath, the north horn.
The retrogrades complete over Aldebaran and Hyades. Aldebaran is the "Eye of the Bull" marking the center (~15°) of sidereal Taurus. The "Gate of Man" of the Holy Cross is also shown. It lies at 5° sidereal Gemini, at the feet of the Twins, Pollux and Castor. The Twins stand upon the galactic equator."
"Venus begins its retrograde on May 15 2012 conjoined El Nath and Al Hecka (the horns of the Bull) and Meissa (the head of Orion) and the belt of Orion.
The Transit occurs on June 6, 2012 conjoined Kursa of Eridanus (when Venus crosses the ecliptic). The retrograde completes on June 27, 2012 in the Hyades, which is a stellar asterism that lies just before Aldebaran (the Eye of the Bull). Aldebaran marks the center of the sidereal sign of Taurus."

Global Health Concerns
It is my belief that there will be another major global pandemic in the spring, summer, and autumn months of 2012.
The best way to protect against this coming pandemic is to use the knowledge of astrological medicine, which leads to the application of Silver in protecting yourself and your loved ones from infection while at the same time powerfully strengthening the immune system.
Astrologers of yore discovered how silver applied to human maladies not only heals, but then protects a person from further sickness.

I also suggest that those reading this take steps to protect themselves, and their families by countering this pandemic with the use of Colloidal Silver:

At this time, most people know of the global pandemic of the H1N1 virus, which spread like wildfire throughout the world in March 2009, continuing to infect millions of people into the autumn of 2009.
In my practice of astrobiology, a sub-set natural astrology that studies the effects of planetary transits on the health of populations, it has been observed that plagues are associated with the transits and inferior conjunctions of Venus to the Sun -

So, what we have here is a mundane forecast, and a warning to take care of one's immune system. This comes at a good time since many people are still very much unhealthy, overweight, and eating much too much junk food that diseases just love as it breaks down our natural defenses that much more for them to try to sicken, and, if possible, to kill us.
Remember that the H1N1 is still out there, and though in a weakened form, it still has made, and continues to make many people sick, and has also continued to take lives.
This year, next year of 2010, and 2011 is an excellent time to build up your immune systems, those of your families, and pets, and to be ready - not solely for the date of the so-called "end of the world" on December 21, 2012, but for that earlier spring, summer and autumn months of 2012.
Forewarned is very much indeed forearmed. I believe in the power of foreknowledge, and to give that to human beings who can choose their own destiny - not the other way around. Fear is for suckers. But we must battle ignorance at every turn.
The stars incline, but they do not compel. We, human beings, are in control, and foreknowledge is power. Use that power yourself to fight ignorance - especially the ignorance about December 21, 2012.
A wise American president once said, "There's nothing to fear except fear itself."
