2012 Year at a Glance for Pisces (feb 18-March 19)

As Neptune, your planetary ally, enters your sign during 2012-2026 (the last time was in the mid-1800's) your sensitivity and a deeper evolutionary reason for this sensitivity become more obvious. Not only are Pisceans naturally acutely sensitive to the collective consciousness, it goes both ways - Pisceans
have the power to shape that consciousness, to infuse it with your hope and visions. Through subtle means - perhaps thru art, music, dance or devotional works - you have an uncommon ability to bring others into different realities. We need you. Protective facades used to hide your sensitivity become too exhausting to hold up. Take a spiritual retreat sometime this year, choose this over numbing escapes. Trust, there is a new self ready to step forward.. Losses of the last couple of years required inner strength to complete a chapter in your life. Explore neglected or undeveloped skills, they may bring electricity to existing situations. A passionate longing for companions who look at life with similar depth may be satisfied thru a return to school or spiritual practice. Travel as soul quest. All will provide rudders, bringing you guiding principles and codes of living.         Gretchen Lawlor

WE'MOON 2012
THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON

Magical magnificent Dragon grandly enters on the New Moon of January 22nd. Dragon is the most powerful sign of the Chinese zodiac, so anticipate a year that is exciting, creative, and over the top. Dragon's influence inspires passion, drive and daring. Dragon year is an excellent time to start a business, get married, have a child or take incredible risks. But results can be drastic: undreamed of success, or unrealistic fantasies that crash. Either way, life's pace is speedy, dynamic, and anything can happen. Should Dragon year's maximum volume leave you overwhelmed, take time to retreat and rest. On a planetary level, expect extreme earth changes such as earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions.  The Chinese Dragon is wildly generous, overly benevolent and extremely lucky, unlike the Western interpretation that Dragon is evil. Protective and powerful Dragon is the most sacred mystical animal in Chinese history. Dragon is a very ancient symbol in China, culled from the time of the dinosaurs. Proud and strong Dragon symbolizes royalty, wisdom and prosperity.

  Magical Dragon can transform into any type of creature, and can overcome all challenges. Wimmin born in Dragon years (1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012) have strong karma to lead and succeed. Their life experiences are very intense because Dragon wears the horns of destiny; she alone can tame the Fates. Dragon is exciting, loves adventure, and believes that she is destined to achieve great success. She wants to make a huge impact on the world, so there are no casual friendships for a Dragon gal. Interactions are a continuation of past life karma that must be resolved now. Extremely independent and freedom-loving, Dragon is brave and not afraid to take charge. She must be vigilant to avoid using force to overpower others. But some Dragons can be dreamers; if dragon's idealism and optimism are not combined with concrete action, she can turn into a discontented daydreamer who pays little attention to practical reality. If Dragon takes action to realize her dreams, there is no limit to the heights that she can achieve. Dragon correlates to the Western sign Aries.

Astro-Overview 2012

by Heather Roan Robbins

Stay alert, awake, aware and involved this year as a new era grows in its chrysalis, breaks out and begins to take flight. This year is a turning point. It is not an end, as some predict; we cannot get out of our evolutionary homework that quickly. Time spirals; it's the beginning of a new cycle, a new circle as the axis of the earth points towards the center of this galaxy. We saw a great deconstruction of old structures from 2008-2011 as saturn opposed uranus and squared pluto. In 2012 uranus, now in pro-active aries-squares pluto, electrifying the ground and seeding new forms, speeding up history now through 2015.

The mood will be idealistically collective as 2012 begins and Venus conjuncts Neptune, trines Saturn. It will also be self-analytical with Mars in Virgo. Let's get right with ourselves and aligned in our habits to stay grounded through the changes. Mercury conjuncts Saturn, and depression whispers toward the end of January, urging us to critique cultural dynamics and empower voices that are not usually heard.

Mid-February, and again mid-summer, painful memories resurface so we can lay them to rest as Jupiter sextiles Chiron. Let splinters work to the surface and let them go; find a ceremonial way to release the past. Look for a chance to teach from lessons learned the hard way.

In March and April it's time to get the party started. Let's get physical but choose our fights carefully. This is a revolutiionary time, old forms are challenged across the board, but we need to reign in the macho bravado and make sure action is intertwined with compassion. Mars opposes the sun, bringing mars close to earth , while mercury and uranus conjunct in Airies as Jupiter trines Pluto.

The weather may be wild this summer with uneven patterns - too much water and wind, or too little - as Jupiter enters Genimi June 11 and squares Neptune through the summer. They breathe new life into alternative communications systems. But in the search for new forms, let's watch that we're not bamboozled by someone with simple answers and false promises, as Neptune loves illusion.

On Oct. 6 saturn enters scorpio and trines Neptune, insisting we walk our talk in how we sing, vote, garden and cook. Religious views may become increasinlgly political; speak up for diversity. It may become extremely important to set a cultural boundary, to boycott an abusive company or lend money to a community bank. We'll need creative solidarity within the community to handle so many systems in flux.

Ask tough questions, listen to the younger voices and nurture the spark in the new cycle.

 Venus moving forward into the idealistic and sensitive sign of Pisces will encourage our hearts to open even more and truly believe in LOVE.

So, it's a New Year - Dream Big and as one famous Capricorn said, "Don't compromise yourself,it's all you've got!" Janis Joplin
