2012

What does astrology tell us about 21st December 2012?

Hollywood movies, experts and contemporary prophets, driven by the upcoming end of the 13th b'ak'tun (144,000 day cycle) of a world era said by the Mayan Calendar to have began in 3114BCE, are encouraging more and more people to wonder. Giving a good answer involves first some clarifying questions.

Is the end of a cycle anything more than the beginning of a new one? All days do not end when a single day does.  Are there other mundane astro-cycles that explain/describe the current social uncertainty driven by fundamental economic and ecological change? Should astrology be used to prophesy, or is it better used to give background understanding of changing circumstances, so people and societies can create their own futures? What do you think?
