Read about the Astrology of 2012 at Tarot.comI can’t believe it’s almost October. That of course means it’s almost 2013, which means we’re growing close to that ominous date of December 21, 2012 that so many people are freaking out about as “the end of the world.”

In case you’re wondering, it’s not. At least not according to those in the Astrology circles I’ve been talking to. Most astrologers would agree there’s a huge planetary, personal and global awakening happening right now — but the world isn’t going to end.

Master Astrologer Rick Levine wrote a great article about this that I’d like to share. He really digs in to the planetary aspects of the day itself — the day the Mayan calendar ends, that is. And he talks about other significant astrological factors that indicate these are truly changing times.

Most of the people I speak to on a daily basis who tell me about their lives are feeling this. I certainly am. My advisor Jewels Edwards, a well-known psychic medium in Portland, Ore., has told me the vibrations of the entire planet have changed.

Personally, I feel jittery. I’m a very sensitive and intuitive person, so I can feel these things shifting, even if I can’t put my finger on it exactly. And change is traumatic for a lot of people, but as we know it’s usually for the ultimate good and we wind up in a better place eventually.

In the meantime, as Rick says, the best we can do is stay flexible, and remember to think globally and act locally. Start by reading this article, friends, and think positive as we ride the coming waves of change.
