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.
