I am a complete newbie to astrological forcasts, but this comment concerns me. I am spiritually strong, but am wondering about the comment for both spiritual and physcial preparedness.
Preparedness for what?
Sorry - I'm really not challenging you. I'm just trying to understand things.

Well of course I cannot speak for Housemouse, but my thought on this quote would be that the stars and planets as they align reflect the overall and general consciousness on the scale of the Collective unconscious (think Carl Jung)and as souls we are ALL a part of the Collective whether we realize it or not.
How then, they align up with our own charts, as well as the country's chart should be noted for oneself if one desires to follow transits and progresssions .
The way I'd look at it personally, would be to say that this is a historical period in time, when the planets align in just such an inharmonious way that may bring about "
collectively" an internal struggle (squares to the outer planets, one to the other), or from without (oppositions)
In other words,
"something's got to give"
Now, what the something IS, is up for debate.
I'm not here to debate either, but I can say that we all believe the stars and planets and their alignments
should be a warning for all to be aware of their surroundings, and this also means one's spiritual surroundings. A good spiritual foundation to help one weather any type of storm, (psychological ones, physical ones, whatever they might be), is always in order, imo. Didn 't he say, "Be prepared?"
this means, yesterday , today and tomorrow, in "all ways and in all days" in all new moons, etc.
I think Jesus spoke of this didn't he? :waitasec:.......something about, you will not know when, but be prepared?
He also said something about we watch the stars and the planets as signs.... yet we don't see what is in front of us. (I think he said this) which of course, I'd agree with the overall gist of this statement.
Whether 2012 will be an ending of an older age or a beginning of the newer age I cannot tell as
I personally do not believe the world will look a whole lot different geographically then it does today.
However
, what I do think, it that the events that these alignments should bring about
will change ALL of us, in the Collective sense,
to re-evaluate what is truly important to us versus what is superficial .
I think that is what the New Age will bring about, the so-called Age of Aquarius, but an Age is also subject to debate as an age is.,and when it takes place in time.
As many ideas as there are Astrologers.....it seems :innocent:
However, whatever and whenever, we are ALL on the Precipice of a New Age for all., a new beginning, to leave the old aside and walk into the new together.
Hopefully spiritually more attuned to the Higher Self as we do. It's a wonderful and momentous historical time to be alive and to witness as souls these "once in thousands of years" important changes to the root race of which we are all a part.

The song was based on the astrological belief that the world would be entering the Age of Aquarius, an age of love, light and humanity, unlike the then current Age of Pisces. This change was presumed to occur at the end of the 20th century, however major astrologers differ over this. Dates range from 2062 (Dane Rudhyar), 2150 (Neil Mann), 2595 (Hermann Haupt) and 2680 (Shephard Simpson).[3]
