Book Reviews of Astrology of 2012 and Beyond, The

Book Review: An Amazingly Clear Formulation
Summary: 5 Stars

I had learnt astrology some twenty years ago and thought it was a nice tool to play with ideas of how people were made and how they related to each other. However, I also knew how far astrology could go. Which was not far at all. Oh yes, sometimes I could even make intelligent guesses as to what to expect in a particular situation. Sometimes I was spot on, many times, I wasn't. But all the time, I knew that I was on slippery ice when I attempted to predict the future for somebody. The parameters in astrology, viz. the planets, the zodiacal signs and the houses, are too few and represent far too many situations. We don't always have clues as to how to interpret what some configurations can mean. And, when honest mistakes are made, the outer world of people who don't believe in what you do, are quick to criticize what they deem to be 'mindless pursuits' and 'waste of time'.

Being acutely vulnerable to the kind of criticism mentioned above, and wanting desperately to get somewhere in life, made me set aside totally, all astrological concepts that I knew in my heart to be true in its fundamentals. And it was in deciding to rewrite that chapter in my life, that I chose to buy this book from a long reading list and despite dwindling financial resources,'in order to take a new look at something I had put aside for many years.

Reading this book made me feel that the gamble had paid off, both price-wise and time-wise. Cal Garrison is a great writer, her writing feels like a gurgling stream of clear spring water, with all the punch of a fast read. Her ideas are formulated with great precision and finesse, the prose flows freely, with ebbs and twists as she brings together the puzzle pieces of the planets and asteroids together to interpret the patterns that they and their mutual aspects unleash on an unsuspecting civilization, rooted in fear.

Cal bases her detailed astrological analysis on asteroids and Sabian symbols for each degree of the zodiac. These are elements of astrology that are lesser well known, and therefore, less often used in the standard texts. Using esoteric interpretations attributed to the outer slow moving planets and asteroids, and the Sabian symbols for specific points in the zodiac, she interprets what can happen in windows of time when the planets and asteroids transit them with malefic and/or negative aspects.

Cal is realistic enough not to provide specific dates for the impending disasters that have been prophesied around the magic date. Instead, she provides windows of probability, when the tension generated by malefic aspects between the planets is expected to be highest, interpreting their positions by their Sabian symbols. Nor does she lose sight of the positive planets and their role in the prophesied end game. She emphasizes throughout, that humanity has an important role in the divine game-plan, and that we can 'cushion the negative effects' of the imminent dangers facing us, even if we can't totally avoid them. Cal's consummate handling of the issue of dating events, is enough reason to buy the book, the clarity is mesmerizing. Reading her clear sighted punch-in-the-back analysis, made me re-experience , howsoever fleetingly, the joys of astrological thought-play that I had engaged in so many years ago.

The most relevant dates that Cal has provided this year are May 28 and July 22 for maximum stress. These may be true. On the other hand, they may not. Does that mean that this book is not worth reading? The watched pot does not boil. The human factor is always present. We are being made to learn, as a species, how to wield our collective power. Miracles can, and have been achieved, as a result of our having done so. I refer to the book called 'Fractal Time' by Gregg Braden, who mentions just such a window in 1984 when the possibility of a global catastrophe due to political complications was successfully averted by saner forces. It seems that the powers-that-be want our blundering and confused species to survive, despite our going through some very close calls.

To all those who want to reignite their interest in astrology, I recommend this book. It will take the edge off'your cynicism about the subject. Not only that, it provides clear answers as to the way of our salvation (they do not lie within our professional and public institutions).

Warmly recommended

Summary of Astrology of 2012 and Beyond, The

In October 2007, a new phenomenon appeared in the sky, was named the Comet Holmes, and is being claimed and acclaimed by the Hopi Nation as the Blue Star of their prophecy. The Blue Star is the harbinger. Between now and somewhere in 2013-2014, when the Red Star appears, great shifts in human consciousness will continue. With the fulfillment of the Mayan Long Count calendar in 2012 and the appearance of the Red Star, many are predicting that human consciousness will rise to the next level. Although there may be catastrophic events associated with this period, and life as we know it will surely change, if we do the work, this will not be the Apocalypse. In The Astrology of 2012 and Beyond, Garrison explores the changing sky, starting with the movement of Pluto into Capricorn, a region it hasn't inhabited since 1733. It's revolutionary times coming for individuals, governments, and the planet. Garrison draws on traditional astrology and her understanding of the Hopi prophecies and their relationship to the Mayan 2012 predictions, as well as the ending of the 13,000 year masculine kundalini cycle, to offer practical advice and information that will help us evolve through the next four years, including what to expect during the nearly inevitable polar shift.
