"When making forecasts for nations and regions, one doesn’t have to restrict oneself to astrology. One also uses one’s on-the-ground observations, plus whatever knowledge one has of politics and economics.

"Every 20 years, Jupiter and Saturn conjoin in the heavens and mark the beginning of a new cultural, political, and economic era. These alignments have historically been described as “Grand Conjunctions” or “Royal Conjunctions.” World leaders elected as presidents or prime ministers during this cycle often have exact conjunctions between their nativities and the degrees of the planets or angles found in these once-every-two-decades mundane horoscopes."

"Years ago, back when I forecasted about the coming global crisis I used to get messages from people who said I was making my forecasts up; that the economy was humming along just fine; that I was a "gloom and doomer," and that astrological forecasting was a "pseudo-science" and "nothing but bunk."

People asked why I forecasted such things. It was never going to happen they said. A global economic crisis?

"21st of December 2012… the date when all things will change. Hmm.. at least this is the story sold today. This post is not to discuss about the importance of this event but to analyze some astrological facts related to.

On December 2012 a Yod configuration (Finger of God) will be formed having Jupiter as focal point and Saturn and Pluto as supporting planets. An Yod is a configuration where two planets are 150 degrees apart from a third one and between them there are 60 degrees.

"This moment of the year is the feast of Light and astrology in itself is the science of the Light,  which comes to us by the Sun. Everything on the earth, starting from the switching between day and night, seasons, years derives from the Sun.

Planets have not light, it derives from the Sun, so every planetary effect eventually depends on the position of the planet in respect with the Sun, and the same  its light and speed.
