As some bright spark has already said – “if you are reading this, then you have survived the ‘end of the world’ on the 21st December 2012”. According to more traditional Mayan sources we are entering the time of ‘Pasha’, the phase of brotherhood.
The New Year, January 1st 2013 gives us a flavour of what the beginning of this new phase might be. From a quick look at the astrology chart for the New Year, it seems we will be dealing with continuing financial and social revelations for a while yet which may need some decisive handling and international co-operation at some point.
The past 30 years have seen continuous efforts in business and financial institutions to want to see growth and expansion – more money, more power. This is unrealistic and unsustainable in the long-term. Having ‘enough’ is a concept that many individuals are beginning to accept as the only way forward for us all that does not engender over-consumption and greed. It is also a way forward to begin to share global resources properly. Maybe companies and some countries need to learn this too.
Many countries’ constitutions have their ‘birth days’ on the 1st January and the widespread use of this day as such a powerful marker, ties countries all around the globe into similar energy patterns. This is unfortunate. With the natural movement of Pluto reaching the exact Sun placement of the 1st January (10 degrees Capricorn) in the last half of January 2013, we can be sure that more shifts and changes are on their way, big-time. The cleansing and driving force of Pluto will stay with us as a global community until September 2014!
Having survived the two and a half year period of Pluto directly affecting my personal astrology chart (conjunct natal Chiron), I can vouch for the depth of transformation that countries will find themselves in and the changes that will need to be made and the habits that will need to be released, if the governments and businesses want to survive.
The potential for this ‘new start’ is huge, so let’s hope that politicians, financiers and business-people have the courage to run with it!

Really interesting Sue and a bit scary too!! I have been on the verge of launching a new business for the past 12 months and have really struggled both financially and with confidence. I soooooo want to get it off the ground but am scared that its the wrong time economically and so it still sits on the shelf. Considering the Pluto influence I wonder if it may stand more of a chance if it were established as a social enterprise?!?!
Dear Karen
This is a time for new beginnings and a social enterprise might have a slightly better chance in some ways. There is never going to be a ‘right’ time for years to come! The plus side is that if you can launch around now you can harness Pluto’s positive effects and ride the wave of change. If you are considering a launch date – let me know and I’ll check the most important thing – which is the Moon placement for that day and time. XX
So close to Start up now I am aiming for a launch day of Saturday May 4th. Just waiting for Logos tobe finalised then can start on Promotion but if there is a better date/time of year then all energetic help is welcome. -x-x-x-
Karen – any time that day is OK. The Moon is not ‘void of course’ XX
