Articles about New Year’s Day

2012 - What If They Are Right?

It is difficult to NOT stumble across End Times predictions and prophesies telling us that 2012 is the end of the world, as we know it.  When I look into the astrological aspects, the ugliest time for us to deal with already passed back in 2009 and 2010… and it created the economic, political, cultural, religious, and societal upheavals we have been going through over the last couple of years.  There is nothing bigger or uglier coming in 2012 if you look at it from an astrologer’s perspective.  Did the mess that peaked in 2010 create the negativity that would cause us to experience an End Times in 2012?  Now that we are on the downhill side of things and we are slowly recovering, would we now do something to cause our own demise?  After so many of the evil dictators and warlords are dead or at least dethroned can they cause it to happen?  And what of Nibiru, that giant mystery planet that is supposed to come swooping in and creating all kinds of problems for our entire solar system as he makes his long awaited swivel around our sun?  Shouldn’t we be able to see him by now?  Is it true that Google, NASA, and the others are deliberately blocking information so that we cannot find Nibiru on the sky maps?  What of the aliens that will either save us or enslave us depending on who you ask?  Why would they pick 2012’s winter solstice as their special date to arrive?  If you spend much time at all reviewing the various 2012 doomsday plots and storylines, you come away with a lot more questions than answers.  But for argument’s sake, what if they are right?  What if, in some way, somehow, for some odd reason… this really is our last year on this planet… with these beautiful blue skies, lush greenery, sparkling water, and irritable but endearing inhabitants?  What if this really is our last year together, then what?

2012 - Beyond the Apocalypse?

Last week, I wrote a 2012 article about fearing for the predicted apocalypse.  I normally only write one New Year’s themed article each year.  But today, I felt a need to write another one and it is of a very different tone.  Last time, I talked about being grateful for all that we have and enjoying every moment of our planet before it is blown up, thrown off its axis, overtaken by aliens, bombarded with solar flares, or whatever it is that will happen.  And I meant it and I still mean it.  I really am going to cherish every beautiful moment of this year as if it were my last.  The thought still moves me to tears.  (Geez!  I have really gotten weepy in the last few years.)  All of that aside, I am also getting really angry this year.  I am angry with the puppet masters that control our politicians, corporations, schools, local governments, churches, etc.  I am angry at their greed and selfishness.  I am angry that they cannot see the long-term damage they are doing to this planet, to the masses, and to themselves.  Do they really think that we have an endless supply of patience, resources, and money to continually funnel into their gluttonous little fists?  This year, I am also going to do more than just shake my fists at the television.  I am going to speak out more and hide less.

2011 - Yes, We Are

In 2008, the winning election theme centered on hope and changing things in a better direction; yes, we can.  In 2009 and 2010, we were blasted with one hellish moment after another, economic destruction, floods, oil spills, etc.  It is only natural that we would struggle to "keep hope alive".  We fought with each other over political, cultural, social, economic, medical and romantic rights and responsibilities.  Is this a country based on "every man for himself" or is this a country based on "brotherhood"?  Are we at our very core selfish or charitable?  It is easy to be kind and compassionate when there is more than enough to go around, but the true test of a society's character comes out when resources are scarce, or at least seem to be.  So with all that we were hit with, it is only natural that we did not accomplish a lot of "yes we can" types of things.  No, this article is not about Obama's agenda.  It is about whether or not "we the people" can still steer the course of this country as opposed to giving up and surrendering to the corporations that try so desperately to take control away from us.  Are we the captain of our ship?

2010 - The Revolution

History repeats itself.  You could say that it is because man does not learn the lessons of history or does not think that history’s lessons pertain to his generation.  Whatever the reason, history does have a tendency to repeat itself.  As an astrologer, I can see that as the planets circle around and around the sun occasionally repeating various patterns and cycles.  Just like the new moon and full moon cycles, everything comes back around full circle astrologically speaking.  As 2010 begins, we have two major cycles coming back around AND they are clashing with each other.  This is not necessarily a bad thing.

2009 - Earplugs and Resolve

On and off over the last couple of years, I have written an article around New Years Day setting my intentions for the next year.  I try to look at the social, economic, political, and/or spiritual place that we are in and then try to identify what it is that we need to fix, heal, resolve, inspire, or change things for the better.  Some years, I did not write about it, but quietly shared the idea with friends who might help me pray or set the intentions for the coming year.  For 2004, I wrote “Another Trip Around the Sun.”  In 2005, I asked close friends to pray for the media to start doing their job and to again begin reporting the news and to not simply report what the corporations that own the media tell them to report.  And in 2006, I asked that “truth” be told, accepted, and/or faced.  We needed to see the truth, admit the truth, and deal with the truth.  For 2007, I wrote “The Dawning” and for 2009, “The Age of Reason.”  And so it is that this year, I find myself wondering… what now?

2008 - The Age of Reason

2008 will be a year of profound change.  Not just because we will elect a new president and could thereby make a statement to the rest of the world about what it is that we really believe as Americans, but also because it is time for yet another astrological shift.

2007 - The Dawning

It’s New Year’s Day 2007 and half of my household is still asleep from last night’s festivities.  The skies are gray as I look out my window trying to tie a rope around some wayward thought that haunts my mind and begs to be put down on paper as this morning’s feature article.  The birds seem to be coming back – huge noisy black crows this time and they create such a distraction as I try to concentrate on not thinking so that I can let go and allow this to flow as it is meant to and not as I might force it to.  And the word comes through and it calls to me like an old childhood memory from somewhere in the back of my cluttered unorganized mind – integrity.  This is the year that “integrity” stood tall.  That’s what they’ll say about 2007.

2006

There might not have been a 2006 article.  We are still looking.

2005 - Another Trip Around the Sun

Today, I am seeing the planet as a physical item spinning in space rather then as the conglomerate energies of all of its inhabitants.  We ride on this big blue rock year after year around and around its sun.  Is it no wonder that some of mankind’s first gods were the sun and the actual vehicle we ride around on itself.  Every time I have tried to think about what it is I am supposed to tell you today in reference to New Year’s Resolutions, I just keep seeing this stupid arrogant cowboy riding around on a planet as if it is a bucking bronco and thinking that he has got any control whatsoever as to where she is taking him.  Yeah, he can destroy her, but she won’t let him choose the route they take as they fly through the cosmos together.  New Year’s Eve celebrations are not about something so arbitrary as the fact that I am going to hang a new calendar on the wall.  It means that like a bronco rider, we have managed not to fall off and have ridden her around the sun one more time.

2004 - Year-End Accounting

As this year comes to an end, I find myself contemplating ‘New Year’s Resolutions.’  Not the actual resolutions that I will make, but the concept that we actually deem this the day to make resolutions.  I guess I have three times each year that I make ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ -- my birthday, my annual vacation, and in September when my kids go back to school.  Each one tends to focus on a different theme, not that they do not all flow into each other.  Other than fiscal tax-related goals, I cannot really see any reason to make the calendar year a momentous occasion to make big statements of personal change.  So, here I sit trying to come up with big life improving goals to set and I come up with the same ones I have made every year.  This is the year that I am going to lose that pesky ten pounds that has bothered me since I was seventeen years old and this is the year that I am finally going to gain some sort of control over my Janis Joplin mess of hair.
