Alan Cohen:
What You Make of It
I2012 is here. Finally. After many years of anticipation, sensationalism, foreboding, titillation, and wild prophecies, we’ve reached the end of the Mayan calendar. The era of momentous astrological configurations. World upheaval. Apocalyptic destruction. Dissolution of the world as we know it. Mass landing of UFOs. The spiritual ascension of humanity. The dawn of a new age. And on and on and on. . .
Prophets, authors, soothsayers, shamans, and Hollywood have had a field day predicting, explaining, and dramatizing the events to come. Will this year be a turning point in human history? Massive suffering leading to spiritual resurrection? The annihilation of evil and the restoration of virtue? The second coming of Christ? A redux of the Y2K dud? Just another year?

Astrology:
Carin Martin, Astrologer.....................
Divine Lens
By Carin Martin, professional Astrologer, teacher, & lecturer. I can still recall my reactions when as a child I first saw that mystical circle that is the astrological chart. To me, it was a flat, one dimensional circle on a piece of paper. Inside of the circle were obscure, mysterious glyphs sitting motionless in the twelve little wedges of pie that make up the twelve houses of the zodiac. As I struggled to learn the meaning of the glyphs, the houses, the signs, the planets, the aspects, it was akin to a long, strenuous but exciting initiation into a secret society. No initiate to Skull and Bones or the Knights Templar could have been more excited than I was to learn all these ancient "secret codes". But as I've often told my students, it was not until the flat image of the chart became three dimensional for me that I knew I was finally "getting it." Come read, and learn from this brilliant Astrologer!

Donna Cunningham, Astrologer...........
Chart clues to Marriage—Will You or Won’t You?
Legendary Astrologer, and author, Donna Cunningham, MSW, presents a new column series addressing a variety of topics from her latest e-books. Having followed many clients' and friends' charts' over the past 40 years, I’ve come to believe that astrology isn’t the best predictor of whether an individual will meet and commit to a partner. HISTORY is a better predictor, and the astrologer who doesn’t get a relationship history from the client is likely to prove inaccurate.
What I’ve observed is that there are relationship-prone people and people who are not relationship-prone. The person who isn’t relationship-prone could have transits or progressions that look ideal for love and not meet a soul, much less a soul mate. Relationship-prone people can have either the worst or the most piddling aspects for romance, and they fall head over heels and hook up with a partner. Go figure.

Idealism
By Basil Fearrington, professional astrologer /musician/ teacher, and author of "The New Way To Learn Astrology.
An idealist is someone whose approaches the world as it should be and not as it is. Idealism comes in many forms and is easily seen in the horoscope. Neptune is the principle symbolism of idealism. Hard aspect and trine contacts that it makes to the planets from Sun through Jupiter suggests different kinds of idealism, especially when in contact with Jupiter.
Idealism is also shown by any contact made between the Sun, Mercury, and Venus….any two of the three or all three.

Jeff Jawer and Star IQ Presents:.......
2012: A Beginning, Not the End
by Jeff Jawer
My 20-year old daughter told me that she’s been hearing concerns from some of her friends that 2012 will be the end of the world. This idea comes from the so-called Mayan prophecy based on one of this ancient people’s many calendars. While it is true that the long count calendar of over 5000 years reaches an end on December 21, 2012, the tradition is that calendars roll over and start whole new cycles. There is no evidence that the Mayans thought that this date marks the end of time nor are there any other meaningful prophecies that reinforce this apocalyptic notion.

Swami’s 2011 State of the Universe Address
The Shift Has Hit the Fan …
And All Heaven Has Broken Loose
by Swami Beyondananda (Steve Bhaerman)
The shift has hit the fan. And all heaven has broken loose.
You say, “Heaven?? Where the hell do you see heaven?”
And yes. If you look at the news headlines from the past year, you’d have a hell of a time finding any heaven. It’s a dogma-eat-dogma world out there, and everyone seems caught up in the bipolar insanity. Even Poland is polarized – the North Poles and the South Poles. We talk about peace in the Middle East and we can’t even make peace in the Middle West. Here in America, we have a deeply divided body politic. Half the population believes our election system is broken. The other half believes it is fixed.
The Swami is at it again. Looking for a few good chuckles? You'll find these pearls to be absolutely priceless.

The End of Days: The War Of GogUMagog
by Robbie G.
Both politically and geophysically, world wide, we have been experiencing a series of extreme events that are just too dramatic to ignore. You've heard people refer to them as being "of Biblical proportions." Indeed, they are.
Connect the dots and you'll see the pattern of what is happening. Some, think it is "coincidence". Others, think it nonsense. All of the political events, and the geophysical events listed in this article are factual, and well documented. They can be Googled. The connection is too obvious to ignore, and there are far too many of them to deny. And further, you'll see how they substantiate prophecies written by the ancient Hebrew Prophets, the Holy Niviim, many thousands of years ago. The events are occurring as written, and like clockwork. It is time to open our eyes to see what G-D is telling us.

Angel Blessings with Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.
The Angels are Watching Over Us All
by Dr. Doreen Virtue, Ph.D
“If the world is ending, should I just go ahead and change my life and do everything that my heart desires to do right now?” The female caller on my hayhouseradio.com show was sincere as she asked me whether she should focus upon her dreams, if the world was about to end.
With the Japanese earthquake, the Mayan calendar ending next year, and earth changes in the news, it’s normal to think about our mortality – individually and collectively. In fact, to do so is VERY healthy!
When I was an undergraduate, I took a college psychology course called “On Death and Dying,” which was the study of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s stages of grief. We learned how to help ourselves and others cope with loss. And as field trips, our class visited funeral parlors, crematoriums, and cemeteries.
This pushed me to examine my own fears and anxieties about death. These fears, called “existential anxiety,” are based upon worries whether life holds meaning and purpose, and whether there is an afterlife, reincarnation, or just “nothing” afer death.

Love Letters...............................
There By The Grace Of God
by Erika Morrell, Soul Mate Medium™
Grace has been a theme in my life as of late. A journey into “the dark night of the soul” that has lead me to an abyss, torment, disconnect, loneliness, terror and torture, bordering on a madness I have never known before. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “In the real dark night of the soul it is always three o’ clock in the morning.” Which, up until this time in my life, used to crack me up as it has always (since childhood) been the time I wake up. Having always known the “oneness,” my relationship with God,

Meet Moore the Money BUT Fairy
by Eddie Conner, Soul Intuitive
Over the years I’ve received many requests asking advice on beating the Big BUT Syndrome blocking our desires from manifesting. I thought it’d be fun sharing these letters with the intention of lifting readers higher into a BUT- Free lifestyle. Each month I pick one question from readers and when I saw this next question I smiled for two reasons. First, it’s one of the best questions I’ve ever received.
Second, if we practice the answer to this question we can literally change our lives.

Tarot Profiles of the U.S. Presidential Candidates:
Newt Gingrich
by Beth Owl's Daughter
WWhat a difference a month can make, as the intensity heats up on the GOP side of the American presidential contest! Last month, the subject of my column, Rick Perry, was beginning to lose his steam, with Herman Cain taking a commanding lead. Then, just as suddenly, Cain was out of the race due to a number of accusations of sexual misconduct. As of this writing, prior to the Iowa caucus Jan. 3, Newt Gingrich appears to now be in the lead.
Of course, by the time you read this, anything could have happened, especially since Gingrich, like Perry, is the volatile combination of Emperor/Fool/Death.
If you’ve been reading my previous columns, you know that by adding up the month, day and year of birth and then reducing the sum, the resulting numbers correspond to the 22 cards of the Tarot Major Arcana. This reveals what I call a person’s Tarot profile.

Dr. Carson's Holistic Animal Care..............
The Gift We Have in Our Animals
by Dr. Kathleen Carson, D.V.M.
I believe that animals are our fellow beings, traveling with us on our sojourn on this living planet, Earth. Some of these animals become members of our human families. They live with us, sharing our lives, with us both in times of triumph and joy as well as defeat and pain. In fact, in this time when families are split apart, and we often live hundreds or thousands of miles away from human family members, our companion animals are often the only close family members we have. “natural” equates with “harmless”. This is not always the case.

Historic Mass Myopia: How Belief Hinders Progress
by Lonny J. Brown, HHC
It seems to be a universal conceit that every generation thinks it is the first truly enlightened one. Yet ironically, what the masses call "normal" is just what we're used to, and history proves that humans can get used to just about anything. Have you ever wondered what perfectly common sense assumptions we're making today will prove to be absolutely ridiculous tomorrow?
From a "modern" perspective, it is easy to name many social norms and customs of the past as antiquated and even immoral. The fashions of yesterday (or today) are not limited to clothing. Ethics and politics also come in and out of style, sometimes with outrageous consequences.

The Roseaceae - the Rose - Family
by Susun Weed
Herbal medicine is people's medicine. And people's medicines are the medicines of the earth: the common weeds. Weeds, though often reviled, are powerhouses of nourishment, medicine, magic, and beauty. Their medicinal qualities, when wisely extracted and used, can counter major as well as minor disturbances of health.
But do beware! Eating weeds has been known to awaken the "wild woman" within. A wild woman may run with the wolves, or even howl with them. Who knows what she'll do if she eats weeds and gets loose!

Hormone Balancing
by Caroline Sutherland,
One of the most important components of any successful weight loss program is the delicate issue of hormone balancing – usually missing or rarely discussed in any popular diet book. If those hormones are not balanced, then you will not lose weight or you might lose weight initially and then weight loss will stop – you’ll plateau. Because of working in allergy clinics with thousands of patients over the years, I have developed an intuitive sense about people and their weight issues or health problems. When I look into a physical body, I see the body in terms of the systems that are out of balance. One of the most common imbalanced systems is the endocrine system. Overweight people almost always have hormone imbalances.

Seasonal Health
by Kami McBride
With the change in seasons comes the beginning of cold and flu season. Preventing and limiting the duration of colds and flu is a household art that has broad social application especially when it comes to taking antibiotics to get rid of a cold. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections and up to even three years ago many doctors still prescribed antibiotics for viral infections. It is very important not to overuse antibiotics.
As predicted by Alexander Fleming, the Physician that helped discover penicillin, the overuse of antibiotics has lead to the evolution of stronger strains of illness causing bacteria that are antibiotic resistant. Medical journals around the world have devoted article after article to this current crisis in antibiotic resistance. The excessive inappropriate use of antibiotics is mostly to blame for this crisis. Many medical experts are advocating that we stop using antibiotics for the more common infections and save them to use on occasion for life-threatening infections.

Letters From Heaven...............................
The Letters From Heaven: Ayin
by Avigayil Landsman
Avigayil’s love of the Hebrew letters began in Hebrew school as a child. When, as an adult she learned that the letters contained hidden meanings, her curiosity was heightened and she began her search and inquiry into the wide range of possibilities the letters possessed. This began a lifelong practice of study and self-reflection. With the knowledge she gained, combined with her creative imagination, she began developing a system of using the Hebrew letters for spiritual direction, which included illustrated “portraits” of the letters as well as writing a monthly column for the Meta Arts several years ago.
Zayin is the first letter in the word z’man, the Hebrew word meaning time. Time is always moving; we can neither stop, kill, borrow nor keep time. The only way we can hold on to time is through memories and ritual.
Zachor means remember. The commandment to remember Shabbat brings us to the depth of memory. In remembering Shabbat, we bring to consciousness not only the sweetness of the day itself, but of all creation. God stopped work on the seventh day of creation so Shabbat is a day to recall the wonders of creation and existence itself.

I am on a plane right now, sitting next to my friend, author Alan Cohen. We are headed to a conference we do every year called “Celebrate Your Life.” How appropriate that I am writing an article about beginning a new year, and this conference is all about taking the time to stop and look at how you can celebrate the life you are living. There are a gazillion authors lecturing, doing workshops, signing books, all speaking about the same thing - making the most of your life and celebrating all of it.

Power Deck Card of the Month:"Offering”
by Lynn Andrews
Internationally Acclaimed Shaman, Spiritual Teacher, and Founder of Joshua Tree, Lynn Andrews, continues in teaching her Power Deck with this month's card: "Offering".
Every day of our lives we take from Mother Earth our energy for life. We forget the ancient tradition of the sacred giveaway. Take a moment to sit in silence and count the magnificent things you have in this life, even if only the wondrousness of being given life. Reflect on the Great Mother, Mother Earth. Ask yourself: “What have I given back to her lately to heal her?” Then think of the higher vision of life and balance on this earth, and realize that the greatest gift you can give the earth and your fellow humans is your own enlightenment. In this way you tear away the veils of ignorance and present the magnificence of your being to everyone who experiences you. Everyone around you is lifted and inspired. This is your offering.

Follow Your Passion
(The Law of Attraction in Action)
by Michael Mucciolo
It has been said that to find happiness, you should follow your passion. Quitting your “money job” to follow your passion can be scary, daunting, overwhelming at times – but can also lead to great success. My good friend, Boyd Wright, is a great example of someone who followed his passion to success. As a young man Boyd visited his uncle, a banker, who did woodworking in his spare time. He observed how his uncle enjoyed his creative outlet of “making sawdust” as he worked the wood and transformed it into something beautiful after a hard day at the bank. This stuck with Boyd as he embarked on his career at the University of North Dakota.

Spiritual Mastery for the 21st Century.............
For Our Souls
Dr. Gwen MacGregor
Though I write this article at the time of Epiphany, the subject matter applies to all moments of awakening that are permeating our souls, society and world. This year, 2012, is about stirring the pot. Yes, at a much higher spiritual level than ever before, but, now, bearers of the light are beginning to get a handle on the behavior and power relinquished into their care in the past 9 years, and, we all see the enormity of the job that lays ahead. This is not a time of prima donas and boosted egos, rather, it is like the power we assume during adolescence, we proceed cautiously, try not to put our foot in our mouths and hope we are as smart as we think! What trying days we have ahead but, oh what laughter and light we can share.

Life After Tumbling
by Frank Demarco,
Author of Muddy Tracks: Exploring an Unexpected Reality,
Editor, Publisher & Psychic Explorer
On the last day of November of last year, a suggestion by my friend Nancy Ford led me to wonder whether we continue to be affected by robots – automatic reactions dictating our lives – after we pass on to the other side. I asked the soul I know as that of Carl Jung.
CGJ: The question is difficult because badly phrased. Assumptions within one's logic and premises may result in valid information being received in such a way as to become invalid. Chief among these obstacles is the scarcely noticed effect of living moment-by-moment -- as you must while in the body -- as opposed to living in the totality of yourself.

Karma: The Functioning of Cause and Effect, Part 4
by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron
By Buddhist Nun, Teacher, Author, and co-founder of the Sravasti Abbey. Does karma influence whom we will meet and the relationships we'll have with them? Yes, but this doesn't mean those relationships are predetermined. We may have certain karmic predispositions to feel close to or to have friction with certain people. Nevertheless, these relationships may not continue along those same lines. If we are kind to those who speak ill of us and try to communicate effectively with them, the re-lationships will change. We'll also create positive karma, which will bring happiness in the future.
We are not karmically bound to others. Nor are there "soul mates," special people who are the one and only one for us. Since we've had infinite past lives, we've had contact with every being sometime before. Also, our relationship with any particular person constantly changes.

Jacquelyn Small, Eupsychia ....................
Sacrifice:
The True Meaning of the Word
The word 'sacrifice' comes from the root word 'sacer,' which means "to make holy." Making something we've experienced holy, then, can be known as a sacrifice. But how do we experience making something sacred or holy?
When we first commit to the spiritual path, we have no idea what's in store for us. We expect that our lives will get better because we've decided to be spiritual, to give ourselves to the God of our understanding in service to the world. However, it doesn't turn out to be that way. And our innocence is quickly shattered as we begin to see that anything in our way of being that is "shadowy" or negative or just plain over, rises right up in our face to be recognized and dealt with. Dr. Carl Jung said it plainly: When you enter a spiritual path, the first thing that comes up is your shadow. You shadow is all those unconscious parts acting out through you that you've never faced or integrated.
