The Internet is awash with predictions based on the date December 21 2012 because the Mayan calendar apparently ends on that date. The frenzy of predictions range from spiritual enlightenment and ascension, to all out global war and the end of days. There are some very significant astrological events leading up to December which we mentioned in the posts 2012 Astrology, Uranus square Pluto and Cherokee Rattlesnake Prophecy and I share the interest in this speculation particularly because I am fascinated the the Yod aspect pattern, and on 21st December 2012 there is a very special Yod aspect pattern to the planet Jupiter which is conjunct the important fixed star Aldebaran. In the last few hundred years, there has only been one Jupiter Yod similar to the December 21 2012 Jupiter Yod. That was in May 1989, so I will look at what manifested from that, and then take a closer look at the December 2012 Yod. For an explanation of the Yod aspect pattern see Yod Astrology.
1989 Jupiter Yod
Saturn sextile Pluto causes those things rules by these planets to work together energetically with a common purpose. Saturn is the security and structure given by governments and organization, law and order, the framework for society to function in. Pluto is like a big brother to Saturn, Pluto is ultimate power and control, the multinational corporations and global political and private organizations, the new world order. Working together we could see this as the UN, IMF, dictatorships, global partnerships such as communism and the alliances of the West. Pluto is also secret and underworld, and tied to conservative Saturn we get global groups such as Freemasonry, Opus Dei and Al-Qaeda.
Jupiter is philosophy and religion. The moral code of the society, more to do with the rights of the individual than Saturn and Pluto. Jupiter is optimistic and freedom loving. It rules judges and clerics and the rights of people in the society. So Saturn and Pluto bear down their joint forces on Jupiter via the quincunxes. Jupiter must express the energy somehow. In 1989 we have a number of examples how this occurred, with far reaching consequences. The Yod was most exact on 18 May 1989, when The Chinese government declared martial law in Beijing to deal with protesting students in Tienanmen square. Jupiter was at 13.25 Gemini. The most significant events relating to this Yod did not occur for another 16 days when a New Moon occurred at 13.12 Gemini on 03 June 1989, activating the Yod action point.
Less than one hour after that New Moon, Tienanmen square had been cleared leaving thousands dead. Saturn and Pluto control and domination squashed Jupiter hopes. One hour before that New Moon on the Jupiter action point, Ayatollah Khomeini died in Tehran from an operation 2 weeks earlier, when the Jupiter Yod was close in aspect. The next day, the Vatican backed Solidarity Movement won the Polish elections, the first of the anti communist revolutions. These events show the effects of Saturn and Pluto on Jupiter. Global entities such as the Catholic Church and Communism. Less obvious but still working behind the scenes would have been Western capitalism supporting the Chinese students and the Solidarity Movement. I see Jupiter here as the rights of the people, standing up against the power of authority as represented by the anit-religious, anti-freedom communist governments.
Jupiter always wants to expand, and at the focal point of a Yod, the issue is forced, this time by the heavyweights of global movements, organizations and governments. The communists lost in Poland, and won in China. The people won in Poland and lost in China. So Saturn – Pluto was stronger in China, represented by the autocratic government. But Saturn-Pluto was also strong in Poland with the influence of the Catholic Church and Western governments. It seems that Tienanmen square was a negative manifestation of this Yod, while Poland was a positive manifestation of that same energy.

Based on the events of 1989, we may expect the big global players to be involved in some power struggle again. The way things are going at the moment, multinational corporations may be the cause of some uprising expressed through Jupiter. One factor not in play in 1989 was the internet which has brought us all much closer together to share our thoughts. I see this a very Jupiter, expanding horizons. People power will be stronger with this networking and sharing of information.
The 2012 Yod has no lunation near by to activate it like occured in 1989, so that may weaken the effect. However there was no fixed star at the action point in 1989. In 2012, Jupiter will be on a major fixed star for this Yod and this will give it a lot of strength.
Aldebaran and December 21 2012
Aldebaran is one of the four Royal Stars of ancient Persia. It’s effects have been studied and documented for thousands of years. It will add extra energy to this configuration as it gives extraordinary energy. When looking into the effects of this star over the last century, I found a definite link to the Jupiter themes discussed about the 1989 Yod. In Mohandas Gandhi and Aldebaran I explored the link to the social rights of society. This was supported by research from Nick at Lunar Planner Forum. “Aldebaran holds the vision for global leaders and world servers inspiring the administrative planning of world affairs, specifically for physical logistics and a global infrastructure designed to support humanity through evolutionary unfoldment and global change. Prominent alignments with the Aldebaran / Antares axis can express into the business and political arenas and is of their leaders“.
Like 1989, this might work out positively and negatively at the same time. At best we could see governments and corporations listening to the global community and working to fix the mess of consumerism and environmental disasters. At worst there could be massive uprisings against the corruption of power in governments by the corporations. Religion will again be an issue. Islam has gone more extreme since 1989 and the West is viewed as the Christian Crusaders more than ever now in the Middle East. Alderbaran is a military star and some see it as the energy of Archangel Michael, “Military Commander of the Heavenly Host“, and with Jupiter it gives “Great ecclesiastical honor and high military preferment.” So at worst we could see an escalation in religious wars.
At best we may see the raising of global spirituality to a new level of acceptance and understanding. We may well see the best and the worst at the same time, and this polar extreme is something common in the effect of the Royal Stars. As Bill Tierney wrote about the Yod: “arriving at a fork in the road and having to proceed in one direction rather than another without knowing where it will lead to.” Some of us will take one road, and some the other. We will be presented with an opportunity for peace. The action point of a Yod comes under intense pressure, and has to release the energy somehow. When there is a planet opposite the reaction point, that’s where the energy heads to find expression. In December 2012, Venus will be opposite Jupiter. Venus is the reaction point of this Boomerang Yod, so all that combined energy of Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter will be condensed and focused on Venus, peace and harmony. That day Sun will be sextile Neptune which will impart a positive spiritual energy to the whole dynamic.

I’m amazed at my natural Pisces intuitions that seemingly come true. Fist off, I know religion won’t be the same, as I have turned back to my Pagan roots, since I Am Greek-Romano American. I bought about two to three years ago and nervously and now proudly wear my Pentagram silver and Gold around my neck with a silver chain. I get MANY Stares.
Now, this was a message I was told to do. I have always been connected to what I like to say as my Angel’s, even if I come out sounding weird. I have lived a guide and charmed life. Miracles and some with wittneses.
Now as I have enjoyed Neptune coming and going from my sign and soon returning Feb 3rd 2012 for a 14 yr stay, I felt the powers before Neptune a warning to be prepared, not bad, just perhaps a guide for one on one people. Maybe later a larger group in the millions. Gut wrench metatations and send me through the roof of wonderful white lighted moments of a love no one could ever experience in the living, but I did!
So now reading Uranus and Pluto Square…wow, and seeing how on one page it creates the Pentagram, perhaps not all at once, hum…makes you think. And then to read how Dec. 2012 the day the sun will be sextile in Neptune are all signs, messages that I have received, yet I Am still waiting to run into the one person.
There is a person in this world I Am to connect with that will tell me of my mission in my Mudane world in which I live and it all is slowly coming together for me.
I just thought to share.
Thanks,
Sabin
Hello Sabin,
I’m not sure why but I felt compelled to reply to your message..You see I share the same feelings that your experiencing I’m not sure how exactly to explain it I’m relatively young and I’m still in search of my path but I feel that there’s someone I’m supposed to meet too or maybe I have already met but can’t seem to find again and it’s a little confusing..but maybe we’re in search of the same being because of the love you described in your passage I’m almost positive that I’ve also felt that but in a dream state manner. Your Angel also intrigues me..Maybe we can converse and see if we can help each other out. Thanks for sharing.
[...] Re: 2012 December 2012, End of the World? [...]
not at all. just another jolt in the evolutio of the species and its home.
How lovely – it sounds like you had a kundalini experience.
Gopi Krishna wrote and talked extensively on the force of kundalini powering our evolution. I think there will be a lot more of this in the immediate future.
Thinking about some other things I’ve recently read, perhaps looking at these 2012 YOD aspects from a heliocentric perspective will yield some insight into the timing of the activation of this energy. With Venus and Mercury in Sagittarius during this time, I have to think these transits are going to bring amazing good and enlightenment when they occur.
It was enlightening to look at the helio chart for this time. There is no Jupiter Yod in the heliocentric version, but a grand trine with Earth, Neptune and Venus-Saturn. That does suggest bring the spiritual down to earth, practical use. Venus and Saturn are on an occult star, Syrma, “heavy personal responsibility which is implicit in the occult questing and acquisition of spiritual power”.
I love that you qoute Bil Tierney. I always keep his Dynamics of Aspect Analysis close by. Now that we are getting closer to December 21st, I am taking another look at this chart.
I like your past reflection on May of 1989. However, this year Jupiter is retro at the time and will again hit the orb of influence at around 10 or 11 Gem on March 20-27, all that week with some action from Mars and Sun in Aries sq up the Pluto.
So what do you think? Does this constitue a new Yod, or will this be the activation time that was initiated on Dec 21st?
Another thing is that Jupter being retro on the 21st creates a more subjective or subconscious factor rather than overt action I would think.
Thanks for working that out. Looks like the December one may start some things that get sorted out in March, Jupiter is still on Aldebaran but past it, whereas in December it is applying. Also got the retro versus direct which says a similar thing. Uranus also with Sun and Mars. Lots of aspects there too. Still the same Yod I guess but like you say I think it could be an activation, and I agree, more overt in March. Very action and change oriented with Sun Mars Uranus.
This is very interesting given the latest news release by the royal family. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are planning to start trying for a baby when he returns from the Falklands in a few days.”
conception in/around March 2012 would bring the baby into the world around December 2012, or right around the “end” of the Mayan calendar. Perhaps this very day will be the birth day.
The release point of the 1989 Yod was conjuct my IC.
The release point of the 2012 Yod is on my 3rd House Neptune in Sagittarius with Transiting Venus(my natal ruling planet) conjuncting Neptune.
Maybe this Yod will be better for me than the last one.
If I am not mistaken, I believe asteroid Kaali will be conjunct Saturn during this upcoming Jupiter Yod for Dec. 21, 2012. Also, it looks as if the South Node (judging from the position of the North Node) will be dangerously close to Algol at that time too.
The 1989 Yod really gets me as that took place around the time my mom’s health I think was starting to take it’s final turn for the worse (she passed away later that September). This upcoming pattern is convincing me to keep a sharp eye on my dad for the next several months now too.
Thanks for pointing that out. My daughter’s birthday is 20.12 so I’m going to havea close look at her chart, solar return for that date.
Everything in this post is riveting. It’s worth noting that one of the links Jamie posted is to Colin Andrews. Colin isa major player in the crop circle phenomena. He had out there experiencesback in the 80s which read like a movie.
Since I too am an avid researcher into Crop Circles I’d recommend anyone to have a look at what has been appearing in the fields. The symbols are potent to say the least.
I’m inclined to think some things are not astrologically wholly visible. Or at least we don’t have the keys yet. The stars rather than planets may hold more clues since they are capable of changing magnitude very rapidly and thus their influence.
Jupiter implicated in the yod can be excessive too. We can see trouble brewing in the UK again as the government has to cut back public spending but the public has got used to excessive funding in all things. It’s a dangerous deficit.
One little cryptic detail in the quote from Nick Anthony Fiorenza, he refers to world servers. This is a term coined by Alice Bailey in her work with DK. World servers are not all in politics, so look out for unusual leadership or revelation in unexpected areas.
Thanks Jamie, I missed this the first time. Still reeling from Cardinal squares bludgeoning my sun @Ar 4.46, what’s left of me (and that seems to be potentially quite useful) is tentatively finding my bearings. These articles are increasingly shining little points of light on the path ahead for which I am most grateful to you and Marina. Be blessed and be well….
Hello lovelies…..great article on the 2012 chart..couldn’t help but notice that the mars in the chart is conjunct the US pluto….curious…..
Well I have a boomerang Yod.
