With ever-increasing reports of catastrophic natural disasters and political upheaval taking place all over the world, and daily evidence that many of our traditional social and economic systems are no longer working, it's no wonder that we hear ourselves desperately asking: 'What's going on?' In this book, astrological expert Marcus Mason uses his extensive knowledge on the subject to provide some real answers to this question - and to explain how all of this applies to you, based on your personal sun sign. 21st December 2012 marks the end of a 25,626 year Time Cycle, caused by the Earth gradually changing her orientation in space. As we approach the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next, approaching astrology from the perspective of the soul's evolution can help us understand the inner, spiritual purpose behind the events and experiences of our lives. By exploring the sequence of astrological changes as they unfold, this book shows you that we are all being offered the exciting opportunity to: . change our perceptions, by uniting the intelligence of the mind with that of the heart . understand how we can truly connect with each other and live in harmony . remember how to honour our Mother Earth . create a new, and infinitely more positive vision for our future.
