Chris Flisher has been a student of astrology ever since he had his first chart done at age 20. At the time, a perfect stranger asked him his astrology coordinates (birthdate /place /time) and within a few days he had the most amazingly accurate account of himself that he had ever read; delivered by a person who had no previous knowledge of him.Chris has spent the rest of his time researching, understanding, and practicing astrology. Much like medicine, astrology is a practice and a deep complex science/art requiring years of experience and research. Astrologers must work with both scientific data and intuition. Chris was recently awarded a "Top Ten Astrologers" award and is celebrating his fourth continuous year of broadcasting as the host of the weekly radio show, "Turning Of The Wheel" on Contact Talk Radio.

Greetings!
This newsletter offers insights into areas of spiritual development and conscious preparedness, using astrology and mandalas. These two closely-related modalities date back centuries and emphasize motion, evolution, and enlightenment. "The beginning is at one with the end."
"The great materialistic progress which we have venerated for so long is on the verge of bankruptcy. We can no longer believe that we are born into this world to accumulate wealth and abandon ourselves to mortal pleasures. We see the dangers and realize that we have been exploited for centuries. We were told the twentieth century was the most progressive that the world has ever known, but unfortunately the progression was in the direction of self-destruction." ~ Manly Palmer Hall |

"And So We Begin..."
|
It is the season for the spirit to be renewed and renewed we shall be. We are setting up for one of the wildest rides in the history of humanity. Events will occur this year that are unprecedented and profound. We will perhaps look back and wonder how we managed before. There is much promise in what is to come. Read on...

As we enter 2012 we should view our present situation and remember. We are about to witness the shifting energies of several powerful planets in Cardinal Signs. Cardinal Signs are all about initiation, shifts, and newness. Their are four Cardinal Signs in astrology; Cardinal Fire (Aries), Cardinal Water (Cancer), Cardinal Air (Libra), and Cardinal Earth (Capricorn). These are the signs, that when planets enter, things begin to happen. Depending on the sign and the planet, we can feel an amazingly powerful impact. This means action and change of the highest order. Let's begin with Uranus in Aries. First, Aries is the leader of the Zodiac and is the herald of all new things. This is the highest point of initiation and is directed by the ruling planet of Mars. Mars imbues all visitors with courage and conviction. Uranus has gone direct (forward motion) in Aries as of December 10, 2011. This is the planet of revolution, rebellion, innovation and invention. When you see Uranus enter into Aries you are likely to witness boldness of great magnitude. Governments toppling, organizations overthrown, new inventions and amazing breakthroughs. (NOTE: Uranus first entered Aries on March 11, 2011 for the first time in 84 years. This was the date of the Japan earthquake and subsequent Tsunami.) Next, we have Pluto in Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and presents change and initiation through foundational exercises. Building and rebuilding earth-bound structures and fundamental organizations. When Pluto, the planet of transformation moves through Capricorn it tears down structure, organization, dogmas, and tenets then realigns them for the greater good of humankind. Banking, insurance, political parties, large religious groups are all victims of Pluto. By July 4th, the fiery planet of action, aggression, ambition will enter the sign of Cardinal Air (Libra). Mars is the firebrand of action and will be moving into the Air sign which fuels Mars' inner volatility to great affect (air feeds fire.) This will, then place, Mars in an opposition to Uranus and at a square to Pluto. All of this activity will most likely then be triggered by the ingress of the Sun into Cancer, the Cardinal Water sign and Sun sign of the United States. So as this stacks up we will have Mars, Uranus, Pluto and the Sun all sitting in tight degrees of Cardinal signs. Action and immense progress are the key words. This is not the time to run to fear, but rather fall into the arms of change. How this effects YOU will be determined by the placement of the Cardinal Signs in your individual chart. The houses that host these signs are most likely to be impacted. We will most likely see great events occur as this cardinal Cross yaws into place.

Monthly Astrology Forecast ~ January 2012
| |
Week of January 2nd 2012
The Sun warms to Pluto in Capricorn and the days begin to lighten ever so gradually. We can begin to feel the groundswell of momentum building towards a bold expansion. It may be tangible electricity amidst the swirl of distraction we face on a daily basis. Perhaps the time has come to put down the interruptions and contemplate what is to come? We will likely experience a see-sawing frustration over expansion and constraint as Saturn and Jupiter work to oppose each other with their own energies. This may be felt as "hurry-up and stop" which, then, causes us to reconsider our options. Can we satisfy both urges?
Week of January 9th 2012
Chatty Mercury returns to have a discussion with Pluto after retrograding back in December. This time the conversation will likely be more meaningful and profound. Perhaps some significant breakthroughs can occur as a result. As the Moon approaches Mars we might expect some sort of heated conversation. Heated need not mean fractious. It simply means passion. Passion gets things done because there is motive beneath the emotions. Meanwhile Venus, joins Neptune and the romance of passion comes into full play as dreams and illusions color our view. The future may look bright.
Week of January 16th 2012
Uranus moves forward in Aries and a time for innovation and rebellion arrive. Rebellion serves as the catalyst for change. The spark must come from somewhere and Uranus is willing and able to comply. As the electricity mounts we'll see more sparks as time unfolds. The push and pull of Saturn and Jupiter will exacerbate the feeling of suppressed energy. Like a horse waiting to run, the delicate balance of wanting to dash while held in place could leave us longing for action and adventure. Mars and the Moon spend a rather grounded time together in late week.
Week of January 23rd
Mars heads in retrograde motion. During the station (standing still) the power of Mars is immense so beware of the energy present. Retrograding always means reflecting and looking backwards in an effort to learn. Are our motives correct? Are we moving in the right direction? Should we re-double our efforts? All of these, and more, are appropriate questions to ask. As the Moon slips in beside Venus, the warmth and magnanimous glow of these two can be powerful. As they move through Pisces we can expect deep, hidden compassion and desire. This calming feeling may be rent asunder as the Moon travels further to encounter Uranus and we come to expect the unexpected.
Week of January 30th 2012
Mercury closes in on the Sun as Aquarius completely illuminates all things humanitarian. On a deeper more personal level we may feel the opposition of Mars and Venus. With Mars in Virgo, and in retrograde, our actions, ambitions might be secret, subdued, or perhaps held too high in expectation while Venus looks anxiously to solidify and soothe in calming Pisces. The paradox of these two personal planets does send a bevy of mixed messages, especially as Saturn and Jupiter are also negotiating with each other across the zodiac at the same time. These are necessary points of the greater conversation since all views must be aired with equality.
