You already know the song of the Age of Aquarius, but what does this mean when the moon is full? During the beginning of the year, this is a time when the shift becomes palpable - and the new dawning seems to be unavoidable. 2012 is already associated with great changes, and this first new moon can be the time when you implement changes into your life that can carry you through the rest of the months.

While you might already know what your astrological sign is, what might be confusing is when all of the books and websites you read don’t tell you that you’re the right sign. You read all of the descriptions, only to shake your head and wonder why they don’t add up to your personality. There are a number of reasons why this might be the case, and the truth is that no one is completely like their astrological sign - no matter what they say. But the sign qualities can give you insight into your inner world. Or, at least, a part of it.

Like so many other full moons that have come before this one, the Cancer Full Moon in January is going to cause a bit of trouble for those who are already having a difficult transition time.  If you’ve been going through a lot of changes in your life, this is not going to be a time when things will settle down.  As the full moon is in Cancer, it appears that you will be experiencing the watery emotions that come with this sign - and this will be a time of profound shifting.

While many people will be celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24^th, the moon will be moving into its dark time, or into being a new moon.  This new moon on the 24^th will be in Capricorn, which only makes sense after the lunar eclipse energy of earlier in the month.  This is a time for looking at reality and deciding whether you want to follow the rules anymore or if you want to change the way that things work for you or against you.

Whenever there is a lunar eclipse, you can expect things to change – and this is generally a good thing.  In the past few months, you have noticed that many of your beliefs about things that happen in your life have been questioned – and this eclipse continues the exploration of your internal thoughts and ideas.  During this lunar eclipse, it’s a good idea to ask yourself what you believe is reality – and then decide if those beliefs make sense anymore.

Love is tricky when you’re single, and if you haven’t found the man or the woman of your dreams, it can seem as though it’s never going to happen.  But once you look at the stars, you can begin to see that not only are you going to be able to find the love of your life, but it might be easier to find someone to love at certain times of the month than at others.  All you need to do is to look to the sky to find love on the Earth.

Imagine what it must have been like for earlier people to see a solar eclipse.  When the sun is suddenly blocked by the shadow of the Earth or Moon, people might have begun to wonder if the sun was ever coming back. Since the sun provides energy for growing food, people of the past realized the danger of not having the sun return.  Today, we can understand that these eclipses are a time of change, but a time when the sun will indeed return.  During this November’s solar eclipse, you can begin to harness the power of the moment of uncertainty, and create a new vision for the days after the sun returns.

Between November 24 to December 14, 2011, Mercury will be in retrograde, and for some people, this can be a nerve-wracking time.  During this time, Mercury will appear to be going backwards in the sky, and that can signal a time of communication troubles and concerns for many.  But does this time have to be difficult?  Not necessarily so.  By learning how to work with these times of retrograde, you can begin to see changes in the planets to be a positive thing, a time when you can grow as a person and a time when you can cultivate new beginnings.

There have been many predictions made by contemporary visionaries for the year 2012 and most are quite New Age and positive in tone. One popular seer is Barbara Marciniak who has authored Bringers of the Dawn and Earth: Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library and the Family of Light. She channels aliens that live in the star constellation known as the Pleiades.  Marcinak channels these Pleiadians. She predicts that part of the apocalypse we will be seeing in 2012 is a loss of our technology and a return to nature. 

As the holidays approach, we begin to feel the pull on us to participate in family and friends’ traditions. The challenge when two people come together in a relationship is to find the balance between doing things with other people the way they expect and the couple creating their own traditions. Traditions are often activities that have been done for many, many years, to a point where no one remembers how it even got started or why.

November of 2011 is shaping up to be a powerful reminder to everyone that change is possible, so long as we embrace it instead of avoiding it.  When the full moon is in Taurus on November 10, this becomes a time when the reasons for this change become more apparent and more important than ever.  Do we choose to create the life that truly supports us?  Do we decide to focus on what really matters or do we continue to live a life that simply works because it’s the easier route to take?

A new moon is always a time when the powers of the universe begin to tell us, “Wake up and start anew.” In this particular month, the new moon will be in Scorpio, causing us to consider what our passions are and how we can begin to life a more full life.  With the planetary alignment, we begin to create the possibility of our own growth and the building of our own light in the world, just as the moon grows in its fullness, so can we begin to grow with this new moon.

Psychics seem to be put into a place of special importance, as they can see into the future in varying degrees.  For some reason, it’s thought that regular people don’t have this same ability, leaving them outside of the possibility of a great knowledge of what’s happening in the world.  But is this true?  Perhaps there is more to the world than meets that eye and there are more people in the world that can access this greater consciousness, if only they would try to step into this new way of viewing the world – and viewing beyond it.

As the moon grows into fullness on October 11, it becomes the herald of a new time for each of us.  While we might begin to wonder more about what our place in the world is, we realize that it is our actions that propel us forward and that cause us to see things in a new light, quite literally.  With the Full Moon in Aries, we begin to notice the energy of the first zodiac sign, a time of beginnings where what once seemed impossible or out of reach is now a promise being made.  But will you keep the promises you tell yourself?

Many people who find themselves looking for work in a difficult economy are using this chance to pursue their dream job - the one that will make it worth rolling out of bed in the morning, or make early mornings obsolete. Experts agree one of the most important predictors of job success and satisfaction is fit - how well the job in question meshes with the individual’s talents, skills, and personality. With so many traits and tendencies revealed by your Zodiac sign, the stars are a great place to begin when searching for your path to employment success and happiness.

The World Cup is a major draw for viewers all over the globe. This exciting soccer championship is famous for bringing out the competitive side of countries across the world while still encouraging viewers to support the sport with a positive team spirit. It’s fascinating to watch the teams grow and develop on the field. Even though the skill is superb on all levels, certain players cannot help but immediately stand out. From an astrological standpoint, it’s interesting to take a look at these players and their work on the field and compare it to their general, astrological sign.

It can be easy to be jealous of a fitness fanatic – the girls who prance off to the gym during their lunch hour, the guys who are up at 5 a.m. every morning to run a mile, the friend who bores you to tears with yoga retreat anecdotes. But it’s not necessary to be jealous of these people. The fact is, these workout wonders have simply found what makes them tick in the fitness arena. You can, too!

Let’s talk fashion! If you are in the market to update your style, your astrology sign has some helpful hints that will make you look amazing. Where? In your essence. Before investing hundreds, if not thousands, in a new wardrobe, it is critical to identify your essence. Everyone has one. Understanding your essence will determine what looks you can pull off and which ones you should leave for your best friend.

“Please put your tray tables in the upright and locked position…” Sometimes, this announcement can fill you with excitement and anticipation. You’re going on vacation! Other times, this announcement might cause your heart to skip with fear. Did you turn off the stove? Remember to leave the spare key? Everyone has had vacations that are amazing and vacations that end up being not so great. Typically, this juxtaposition has little to do with where we went or who we were with. But was the quality of our vacation simply based on… mood?

Once upon a time, being the best worker you can possibly be would guarantee you freedom from the pink slip. Today, employers have room to be picky. Unemployment is at an all time high. The economy is struggling and most workers are doing everything they can just to hang onto their jobs. Regardless of your productivity, you might be dismissed simply because the boss likes someone more. Shocking? Not really. Popularity makes a difference in all aspects in life. So, it’s important to do what you can to be popular with your boss. Obviously, being amiable and pleasant will certainly help but an additional technique that might help you save your job is learning how to make your astrological sign work for you.

When seeking a long term partner, finding someone you are compatible with is a must. Enjoying the same hobbies, exercising similar ideologies and having similar energy levels are all important factors in creating a solid relationship. Yet many people spend much of their time finding the perfect match and when they have it, still aren’t satisfied. Why? Although direct compatibility works for most people, it isn’t the right fit for everyone. Some astrological signs thrive on conflict. Others crave adventure and a lack of predictability. Still others are constantly searching for something they will never find. Finding a match with someone who goes against type can sometimes be the most exciting, exhilarating match of all.

A dog is a man’s best friend… but tell that to a dog that’s stuck living with a human who has an opposing astrological sign! In reality, that dog may hate everything about you, from your decorating sense to the type of food you buy to the pace at which you walk. This type of discord can only make your relationship “ruff”. Before purchasing a pet, determine what the purpose is behind your purchase. Are you seeking adventure or a quiet companion to cuddle up with you as you read? Do you want an animal that is ferocious and ready to protect its master? Or are you seeking a pet that has an even temper and would get along well with kids?

Many parents wish for nothing more than a healthy baby. Yet moms to be who are interested in astrology often think about the importance of compatibility with their child. Of course, we’re speaking of general compatibility. Signs can be compatible on several different levels, based on time, date and the position of the moon. These are specific factors that would be nearly impossible to plan for. Although some might argue that astrological manipulation is as immoral as say, playing with DNA to manipulate the appearance of your child, those who believe in astrology feel this type of conception is a valuable resource.
