Here we are–at 2012! What will this year hold? There are indeed many astrological events taking place throughout 2012, sure to make it a most interesting, dynamic and at times, challenging year. 2012 is sure to be fast-paced and very dynamic, even more than 2011!
As we start the year, what amazes me the most is how the astrological influences all point in a forward motion…meaning it’s all green lights right from the very first week of year. So to take advantage of these strong currents thrusting us into your own future. Here are some ideas:
- Make your plans for the year early. Be realistic but also include things that you may have been “meaning to do” for a while.
- Create systems that supports movement and growth in your life. Get organized!
- Commit to finding ways to make better use of your time. In fact, time management is a very big theme this year. (Lots more on this on this month’s ACM.)
- Don’t hesitate to act and take some risks.
- Break old patterns that keep you stuck.
- Don’t procrastinate in embracing the new energies present. NOW is the time!!

Uranus is stationing direct now at 0°38′ Aries. During the days (and even weeks) surrounding this event the energy will be interesting, dynamic and maybe even feel somewhat strange. While Uranus does station direct once every year, doing so at the first degree of Aries is a once in a lifetime event (less, actually). This is a powerful indication that new beginnings are at hand and that change is in the air.
The impact of this event is made all the more potent by the Lunar Eclipse that is also occurring this weekend. Insights and messages offering guidance are present everywhere–keep on the look out for them! New directions, understandings and pathways are now ready to reveal themselves.
Here are some things you may notice:
- Your basic energy may be erratic, fluctuating from one extreme to another for the next few weeks.
- Feeling either wired and hyper or the other end of the spectrum as though you are stuck and going nowhere. Both are possible.
- You could feel nervous, anxious or edgy, jumping when the phone rings.
- Feeling impatient, as though things just can’t happen fast enough.
- You may have sudden bursts of energy, either physical or mental.
- You may feel scattered and ungrounded, finding it hard to focus.
- Some may feel quite psychic and intuitive as Uranus can increase these frequencies.
- Difficulty sleeping or relaxing as your mind is very active may occur.
The higher frequencies will express in these ways, which you may also notice:
- Openings to higher truths, bringing clarity and revealing new avenues and directions.
- Clever, even brilliant, ideas and inspired thoughts can come out of nowhere and from unusual and unexpected sources.
- Solutions that you had not thought of before can appear during this time.
- Take special note of those that are original and fresh, things you have never seen or thought of before.
- All this can bring you greater clarity and fresh, new perspectives.
 Keep in mind that events may occur during this time that may make no sense now or that may seem insignificant. Yet something may happen now that will play a key role in your life down the road. Hence, anything that seems a bit odd or unusual, or beyond “coincidence” or if you get an interesting idea in a flash of insight or perhaps in a dream, make a note of it! You may want to refer to it later.
Wishing you many moments of inspiration during this special time.

December 2nd, 2011 2 0 1 2
Here we are, only weeks away from 2012, and the energies that it will usher in are certainly being felt already. There is a flurry of activity these days with the Holidays upon us, hectic work schedules, year-end deadlines, personal and family issues can often get accentuated or magnified at this time of year or health and related topics may also be on your mind. And of course, there are others to add to this list.
If you have been following my posts and AstroCurrents for a while, you know that for all my interest in and focus upon spirituality, I am also quite practical. If we can’t use and apply the insights and inspiration to be found in our spiritual pursuits, studies and practice, then it is not really of much use to us. At least that is how I see it.
In looking over the next month and attuning to the energies, I noticed some interesting patterns astrologically that when viewed in phases, seems to be leading us in quite practical ways up to the New Year. In this post, “Countdown to 2012”, I have broken down these influences into four phases, one for each week and with each one having its own purpose:
Phase One: “Making Room” (from now until the 8th*)
The focus for this period is to clear away a space and “Make Room” in your life so that you can see where you are and what this past year has been about. Many have experienced so much change during this year and now is a good time to stop and to name and acknowledge what those have been.
Here are some key activities to do during this time:
- Create blocks of time for reflecting, regrouping, recalibrating.
- Take some time to reflect on this past year. What has changed? How are you different?
- Then look at those tasks that have been on your to-do list for a while, paying particular attention to those that you are obligated to or that are nagging you.
- Make time to get to those tasks…and don’t worry if you don’t get to all of them. Just notice which 2 or 3 items jump out at you and focus on those. You are simply wanting to “make room” for the next phases.
- During these few days, don’t think too much about what is next or what is coming up in your life. Think more in terms of what is before you now and how you can clear some space in your life.
Phase Two: “Turning Around” (from the 9th until the 17th*)
So you have cleared some space, which may be on your desk, in your home or in your head. Now find time to simply look around you. Just look out in all directions and notice what you see. I suggest you create a list of what you see when you look upon the fundamental areas of your life, such as finances, health, family and work. Do this without any judgment and as much neutrality as possible.
Here are some key activities to do during this time:
- Notice what paths, activities, obligations or other things have closed to you this year?
- Conversely, are there things that have opened? Have new directions presented themselves that you either took or that you could take if you wanted to?
- Have new opportunities presented themselves that you hadn’t really noticed before now?
- Write down what you see without any concerns about implementation or how you might move in any of these directions.
- And again, try not to think of these as either positive or negative. Stay as neutral as you can…just look.
Phase Three: “Standing Still” (from the 18th until the 25th*)
There is a very sacred energy present this week and so now, before you take any action or make any significant decisions, it is time to just “Stand Still.” Perhaps you have seen the paths before you with new eyes and maybe options are there you hadn’t noticed. Think of this time as entering the Creative Void and there is nothing to do, especially as it relates to your future or 2012 or where you are going next. Just be with the energy present as it arises before and in you.
Here are some key activities to do during this time:
- Be receptive. Listen to others, to yourself, to your inner guidance.
- Notice your thoughts and your feelings, again, without judgment.
- Find time to spend in retreat, even if only for a short time each day.
- Seek the Light within you. This is the Season of Light, so enjoy the Light that is all around such as Christmas lights or Chanuka or other candles. Take that light and bring it within you.
- You are not trying to figure anything out, but rather to attune to your higher self, your Soul, your inner teachers and guides.
- In essence, after making room to just notice what is now before you, you are seeking inner guidance before proceeding in any direction. This simple process will help you to feel and see more clearly what is ahead for you as you enter 2012.
Phase Four: “The Plan for Moving Forward” (from the 26th until the 1st*)
Now you are ready to lay the ground for mindful intention setting and for clearly identifying your goals. Astrologically this is the perfect week to come up with a plan for the year.
Here are some key activities to do during this time:
- Decide which of the options, opportunities and directions that presented themselves to you during this month are the ones you wish to create in 2012.
- As you look at this list, write out the steps that need to be taken to manifest them
- What actions are necessary? Look for what is the most obvious, simple and doable. Some examples might be: If you want greater peace of mind, to meditate daily, if you want to get healthier, you will need to change certain habits while incorporating others and so on.
- As simple as this sounds, it is the mindfulness and desire to align with your higher path that are keys to this.
Key: Once you have created this list, which of course can be changed and updated from time to time, it is very important to imagine what it would feel and look like to have that occur in your life. Give some real thought to this. What you can’t conceive of you can’t create. Look out into the months of the year and in your mind’s eye, visualize what you would see and again, feel like as this becomes true for you.
Lastly, there is a particular reason why I am presenting this in such a simple, step-by-step way and that is because there is a powerful forward thrust motion present astrologically as we enter 2012 which is actually quite rare. Hence, the capacity and power to manifest is strong and so it is wise to know what you want and have a plan for getting there.
After all, if you don’t know where you are going, you might end up someplace else :~)
There will be much more coming about the dynamic and exciting year ahead. Stay tuned!
Blessings to you during this Season of Light,
~Elizabeth
*Please note that you may notice these energies a day or two before or after the dates given.
November 9th, 2011 11:11:11 is a most unusual and mystical date for many reasons. Here are three I would like to share with you . . .
 11:11:11 is opening a portal to the dynamic energies of 2012. What you focus upon and experience at this time will initiate a process, setting you upon a path, that will align you with your Souls intention for being alive at this amazing time on the Planet. (Please note that this portal will be opened and stay open, into 2012, from now forward, and particularly each day at 11:11. Spending even a few moments at those times (as you are able to) will continue to open you to and strengthen your connection to this energy. You can use the Yin Approach at 11:11 p.m. and the Yang Approach at 11:11 a.m. (see below.)
In essence, as you attune to this portal, you will be setting yourself on the path towards the higher expressions of energies that will be available next year, in 2012.

September 4th, 2011 Preparing For The Shifts of 2012
So many are hearing the call from their deepest selves, which seems to be getting stronger as 2012 approaches. Perhaps you have heard this call? Are you listening?
Remarkable indicators of change are also showing up almost daily, revealing quite clearly what is not working for each of us. Often what is showing up is so very different than the call from our deepest and highest Self.
Many of these lower vibrating happenings are simply old patterns of thought and intention that are presenting themselves now to be transmuted, making space for a whole new level of experience, expansion, love, connection, abundance and wellness.
 YOU are a very important aspect of this shift that is at hand. Recognizing that the power is within you to create a “revolution based on clear knowing and intention”, a power that can change not only your life in amazing ways, but that can shift others as well, is the place to start.
New Tools and Insights
Humanity has been given many new tools, systems and modalities at this time of amazing transformation on the Planet. These are created to assist us in clearing these limiting overlays and their matching underlying beliefs and to dissolve the illusion of separation. It is then that we can step into a life that is a greater reflection of who we truly are, one that resonates with the call from our Soul.
You can discover many new tools, gain insights and perhaps even have some incredible direct experiences in this Fall’s Healing With The Masters, a very special opportunity and unique event I am thrilled to share with you.
In my many years of being involved with this “New Age” movement we are in, I have never felt as compelled to align with a seminar or offering as I do this one. There is something so exciting, so fresh and so far-sighted occurring with HWTM, that I simply had to say “yes!” when invited to join in.

August 3rd, 2011 I just updated the best dates for August and September for gardening by the Moon on AstroGardening. It’s easy  and fun to do and a great way to attune to the natural cycles of nature. Learn the best days for planting, tending, fertilizing and more.
Gardening is a great way to get grounded during this crazy Mercury retrograde period, by the way.
Here’s to your green thumb.
Happy Gardening!

June 14th, 2011 The Gemini-Sagittarius Full Moon is a time to enjoy lively conversations and to consider new ideas that are a result of them. This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse encourages you to seek out new and interesting information and knowledge. Ask the Universe for pertinent and helpful insights now and see what comes along in the next few weeks. You may get just the guidance you need through some form of communication or conversation. Seek out ways to better understand the underling reasons and dynamics of any given situation, as this Full Moon increases your capacity to be open-minded.
Be on the lookout for new options and opportunities during the next two weeks. Be open to something new you hadn’t seen before.
Overall, this is a wonderful chance to see aspects of yourself or your life from new perspectives that will help you as time goes by. Be sure to write down any significant insights or tidbits of information, as it may become most important as time goes by!
The Full Moon, which is also a lunar eclipse, is on the 15th at 1:14 pm PT; 2:14 pm MT; 3:14 pm CT; 4:14 pm ET, 9:14 pm GMD and 6:14 am on the 16th in Sydney.
May 13th, 2011  Nicholas Roerich, Song of Shambhala (1943) The Full Moon in Scorpio is on Tuesday the 17th (*times in various zones below) and is also called the Wesak Moon, the Full Moon of the Buddha. A time, it is said, that the Hierarchy who oversees the planet’s evolutionary and spiritual path descends from Shamballa to grace and offer guidance to humanity with Light.
When we are able to feel or sense that we are indeed being watched over and guided as we walk our Path to a greater recognition of who we truly are, it can radically alter our lives. As we see and feel these subtle yet pervasive connections we begin to see that we are not separate or alone, that there is infinite abundance, that the Universe~Spirit~God’s substance is Love and it’s expression is transmitted through Light. Opportunities for feeling this connection in energetic ways and on the inner realms is heightened now. You need not be particularly knowledgeable in any specific practice or way, but rather to be open and willing to receive. This openness to receive this Universal Grace will shift how you see and know yourself.

May 2nd, 2011 A few weeks ago, Neptune entered the sign of Pisces for the first time since the mid-1850′s. Ever since then (April 4th) things have felt quite surreal  and somewhat strange. I feel as though, at times, I am watching a movie called “My Life”. Even when I am feeling very present, I still feel as though some part of me is observing the events and feelings and impressions as they move through my being.
So I’m curious. . . is anyone else noticing this? Are you feeling as though your are living in a vivid dream? In fact, are your dreams sometimes as real (more real?) than your waking state?
Neptune in Pisces blurs the lines between realms, which can make crossing them not as obvious when we do. Make sense?
I’d love to hear from you on this! And, you can learn more about the influence of Neptune in Pisces at Where Are The Planets Now.
Many blessings in these most mystical of times,
~Elizabeth
