“End of the World” Chart

Oh come on you knew I was going to have to do it. Apparently the Mayans predicted the end of the world at 4:12 AM MST December 21, 2012. Please don’t ask me how they knew about time zones…but I guess if you can predict the end of the world, time zones are a snap.

We don’t have much time to quibble about such details now do we. Anyway, this is a pretty drab chart.  I mean you would think the end of the world would be loaded with 8th house planets – that house being the house of death, change and transformation and all. But the only thing there is Ceres the Earth Mother, nurturer. Not exactly the Grim Reaper is she.

Saturn is transiting the 12th house – the house where we connect to “god” – and Saturn is all about doing things by the book so perhaps the Mayans were trying to tell us it is a good time to be more serious about our spirituality. That isn’t a bad idea in light of the madness of recent weeks.

Scorpio will be rising and that is the sign that vibrates to the 8th house so this is a good time to set some good spiritual practices in place. However, nothing else here tells me that we should all be spending our last dollar and dancing our last jig — or procrastinating with Christmas shopping any longer.

May 21 – The Rapture – the Rapture

It seems like my prayers will be answered on May 21, 2011 because that is when the Rapture is supposed to come! Christian leader Harold Camping, founder and president of Family Stations, Inc., a company which produces Christian radio and television programs, has announced the end of the world will take place on Saturday, May 21, 2011. Well I am not sure if it is really the end of the world or the beginning of the Rapture which will lead to the end of the world – the stuff is always fuzzy to me. However, if on May 21 all of these fundamentalists will be zapped up into Heaven and out of my face I can’t wait for May 22!

Bring it on!

Camping is basing this on his highly scientific studies which show the Creation taking place 11,000 years ago. I guess that is why the Creationist Theme Park in Kentucky shows dinosaurs roaming around in saddles – is there a thing called Flintstone envy???

Being the goof ball that I am – I just had to look at the chart for May 21, 2011 to see if my astrological crystal ball could tell us what the stars will look like on that day. I would assume end of the world stuff would fall under the realm of Pisces which is the connection to the god source, right? Well let’s see Neptune is in Pisces now and Pisces is ruled by Neptune so that does portend a very spiritual time. On the day, over Washington, Neptune will be in the 8th house – the house of death and rebirth. HMMM.

Neptune is conjunct Chiron, the harbinger of deep sacred wound issues. Now, I would see it as a time to spiritually address our wound issues surrounding power issues. However, someone else might see the healing of the wounds of evil Mankind by raising the righteous and smiting the rest of us heathens. See it is all in the interpretation.

You know this guy may have something – Uranus is in Aries, the warrior sign, in the 9th house the house of spiritual truth. It is a time to cut a new path – find a new way to find your higher truth! But then again if the world is ending why bother? I mean talk about too little too late.

Of course this same dude predicted the world was going to end in 1994. There are still people who believe him this time. No wonder Madonna has been able to pass herself off as an entertainer all these years. People will believe anything!

Perhaps, hopefully,  it will be a day when people will “die to” ridiculous fundamentalists’ beliefs and have the courage to find their own truth…or they all could be raptured up. Either way I think it is a win win. No?

I say LET’S PARTY! SEND THEM OFF IN STYLE.
