2012 World Horoscope

Uneventful Sides of Society

(December 7, 2011) The following two Houses represent environments or fields of society, which are rather uneventful during 2012, according to the world horoscope. That's because they lack planets, which are the active forces in the horoscope.

Still, they continue to express the characteristics given to them by the Zodiac signs they occupy.

First in this duo is the 8th House in Taurus, showing that our modern society tends to have a down-to-earth attitude towards things beyond our control. We neither mystify nor just surrender to them. Instead we continuously strive for methods to control fate in all its expressions. Actually, we have an attitude of refusing to accept that there is anything at all forever beyond our control — not even death.

The 9th House in Gemini shows that we tend to take even major changes lightly, but also that most changes we accomplish are not as big as we would like to think — except for the fact that they involve so many people. Small changes to the life situation of every member of society must be regarded as great changes to society as a whole.

Compassion Meets with Obstacles

MC, Medium Coeli (also called Midheaven), is positioned early in the 10th House. That's a recurring position in the annual world horoscopes, as long as they are based on Greenwich Mean Time. Yet, because it's aspected to planets in a way that's unique for the 2012 horoscope, its function differs from other years.

In itself, MC in this House and the sign of Cancer shows that we regard our society as a caring one, supporting its citizens. In reality, that's far from always the case.

Midheaven has a square aspect to the Ascendant, which is the same every year. It simply points out that society's ability to care for its citizens is often obstructed by the ethics it claims to uphold. Such principles might have been born out of a sense of compassion, but the practice of them often lack just that.

The reverse can also be true: Sometimes the social care for the citizens makes it necessary to brush aside fixed principles.

In the 2012 world horoscope, MC also has a square to the moon on the cusp of the 7th House. This shows that our impatience in partnerships is something that we as a society don't really approve of. Therefore we often tend to close our eyes to it.

Still, the strongest MC aspects are the oppositions to both Pluto and the sun in the 4th House. This stresses the insoluble conflict between society's ambition to care for its citizens and the drastic changes commencing in people's homes and family lives. They lead away from security and the traditional caring environment.

Homes seem instead to become institutions of their own, as if being offices more than homes, with co-workers rather than families. It seems as if society is inverting the social setting with the private one, so that people turn away from their families when they need care.

Now, by the above mentioned squares and oppositions, Medium Coeli forms an aspect figure called the big square: four points of the horoscope joined together by squares. In this case it's MC, the moon, Pluto together with the sun because they are so close, and finally the Ascendant. Such a closed geometrical figure of aspects intensifies the importance and strength of them.

The four corners of the big square form what can be called a system of causes and effects, where each point can be both a cause and an effect. For example, The firm ethics shown by the Ascendant causes problems for the MC attitude of a caring society, as described above. At the same time, the caring society frequently causes the firm principles to be bent. It's the same with all the aspects involved in the figure.

So, there's a pattern of complications between the private and the official, between compassion and ambition, which is particularly obvious in society during 2012. It will be manifested in lots of ways, big and small.

The strongest point in the big square is that of Pluto and the sun in conjunction in the 4th House and Capricorn. Its superior strength comes from the fact that it has two heavenly bodies instead of just one, and that they are so important. The sun is the mightiest of all, of course, although discreet and adaptive in its effect, and Pluto is the one creating the most revolutionary events.

This means that the other points tend to serve more than lead. The Pluto and sun conjunction is the major cause, but also shows where the major effects appear.

As explained in the text above about the 4th House, this is then all about the significant change of the home and family situation in our society. In 2012 this change might be little more than implied by events here and there, tendencies more than big news, but the change is on the way and this year is to a great extent when it starts.

Crisis in Labor

The 11th House lacks planets, so it just expresses the characteristics that remain the same from year to year: The strongest ideals and aspirations in society are individualistic. Of course, this individualism contributes to the conflicts described about the big square. But it doesn't really add new elements to them.

The 12th House, though, has got Mars in the middle, in the sign of Virgo. This pretty much repeats and enforces what was said about the 6th House regarding labor. There are many obstacles in the world wide field of labor, creating injustices and a lot of unemployed.

Mars in the 12th House always creates some trouble or crisis, but also the lack of power to deal with it. This lack of power is often the reason for the trouble appearing. In Virgo this clearly refers to the world of work, employment, and getting things done. So, 2012 will have particular labor problems, which society lacks the force and control to solve.

Mars has a square aspect to Mercury in the 3rd House. This indicates that renewed modes of communication will result in diminished numbers of workers needed. We've seen a lot of that since the introduction of the computer, but this year will have its own events that have this effect. People communicate in different ways, and the result is unemployment as well as other forms of labor difficulties.
