Reposted from Marina of DarkStar Astrology. I’ve underlined what I saw as highly relevant on both individual and geopolitical levels. Go there to read more.
Mercury’s happy conjunction on December 27 with the North Node helps us focus our goals and it is exact on Ras Algethi now. According to Ptolemy, this star is like Mercury anyway, so it will be bring out the stars strength of character, resolve, will power and a gritty determination to carry on to the bitter end. Interestingly Thereus opposes Mercury from December 26right up until New Years day. Resolutions and goals set around this time I believe will really have staying power.
Happy New Year. Mercury moves out of the shadow at 5am January 1, just in time for the dawn of 2012. It is tightly square Mars (03’) so maybe this is an omen we shall wage war with words and on the cyber highways in 2012. Mars on Denebola “ Bitter, vindictive, cruel, unpopular, loss of position and public disgrace.” [6] Ouch, some cutting edge journalism ahead in 2012. I don’t think the square is a bad omen however. I think the media is going to bring some of the big lions down. Squares get things done. It’s incisive, quick thinking, cutting through red tape, and cutting the crap. Look at the dramatic New Years day chart, sharp. Welcome to 2012!

An article for the International Examiner by Tamiko Nimura
On the YouTube screen, five young Asian American Pacific Islanders are sitting on a couch, introducing themselves to the viewer. “Hi, I’m Kane. I’m the director.” “I’m Farah, the executive producer…” The five are producers of a documentary in progress, “Uploaded: The Asian American Movement,” a project about the effect of new media on API visibility, pan-ethnic identity, and a new form of community in the arts and entertainment.
Many Americans, including longstanding API activists, are familiar with social change movements, from the civil rights movement to Seattle’s Asian Coalition for Equality to the birth of American Ethnic Studies: movements which often used protests, marches, and boycotts as tactics. In this online movement the banners are digital ones, scrolling across the top of a screen, rather than butcher paper held in the streets. What’s their message? Can these new forms of visibility and celebrity, through new media, activate social change?

There comes a time
when we must harvest
who we are
and what we have done here.
Whether we listened, learned
laughed, loved
Whether we brought joy
into the world.
The universe resonates
with the vibrations we emit
The planet’s face
a reflection of our own.
What do we bring?
And what do we bring forth?
In yoga we are told
to breathe into a stretch.
That the points of most pain
are the times for greatest growth.
You can tell you are improving
when your grimace slowly transforms
into a grin, without much thinking.
You feel yourself pushing
past what you thought
was the endpoint, the maximum,
like when you couldn’t take anymore
and your body suddenly gives and you
become offering. become bounty.
and your boundaries
are no more.
Like the Earth, our bodies
know the harvest.
Breathe
into the stretch.
