Announcement:   Recently I was interviewed by Richard Dugan of AM 1290, Santa Barbara News Press Radio.  This is my second radio interview with this station.  The first one occurred in September 2010.  This is a pre-recorded interview and will be aired on Saturday June 9, 2012 at 3 PM (Pacific Time). This is a raw and spontaneous interview with absolutely no pre-condition. After listening to it myself, I wish I was little bit more prepared.  Anyway this broadcast will also be streamed online   (http://www.richarddugan.com/tmysschedule.htm) on that Saturday.

In the event you are interested in listening to my recorded show now and not wait till June you could do so via the link below. And hopefully provide me with your feedback, comments, critiques, advice, suggestions, etc.   It's about 45 minutes interview with no advertisement.

Wishing you a very happy and prosperous year 2012

During the entire 2012, all the modern planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) will continue to reside in spiritual (sidereal) zodiac signs: Pluto in Sagittarius, the fire and mutable sign ruled by Jupiter; Neptune in Aquarius, the air and fixed sign ruled by Saturn; and Uranus in Pisces, the water sign ruled by Jupiter.  Both the Saturn and Jupiter being the planets of spiritual forces (as they rule the last four signs of the zodiac), the entire year will continue to be dominated by subtle spiritual human evolution at a phenomenal speed.  

In addition, the Jupiter's transit in Aries will last through May 16, 2012, and Aries being a cardinal and fire sign, Jupiter's collective influence will be the result of the process of our spiritual growth during the first half of the year. The spiritual growth will be reflected in our collective search for something other than the normal inclination towards material growth. The United States (Uranus country) will continue to provide the platform for this future human endeavor since Uranus resides in Pisces, a sign ruled by Jupiter. This process of collective human spiritual growth actually began when Pluto entered Sidereal Sagittarius  in January of 2005 with the accelerated process of globalization and universalization.  As a result, we human are so closely connected that we practically share of our experiences via internet (or other similar interactive medium of communications) every minute, every hour, every day! Thus, the seed for collective human experience has already been in place for us to move forward and grow spiritually. In addition, Libra resident exalted Saturn is likely to provide additional boost to spiritual growth. After May 16, 2012, Jupiter will enter the earth sign sidereal Taurus, and it will then become responsible for material expansion around the world. 

However, it must be pointed out that with all the rosy picture of our spiritual growth as painted above, the path or transformation process is likely to be accompanied with pain and possibly sufferings.  The pain and the human suffering will be reflected in violence and terrorism in places like Afghanistan-Pakistan, North Africa, Iraq-Iran, and some other places around the world. 

On January 24, 2012, Mars becomes retrograde in sidereal Leo, and stays retrograde until April 14, 2012 in Leo. For President Obama, Mars being the active planet for him in the first house of his progressive chart for the period January 17 thru March 1, 2012, he should be very careful in charting his political course as he will be challenged every day by his adversaries during this period. The retrograde Mars in Leo will also influence negatively for those who have Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendant in their ninefold natal charts.

On May 16, 2012, Venus becomes retrograde in sidereal Taurus. Venus becomes retrograde about once every 19 months, and stays retrograde for about six weeks.  In general, a retrograde Venus means a very challenging period for women, marriages, home life, lovers, entertainment industries.  Expect the divorce rates to peak, fighting between spouses to intensify, and delays, frustrations, and misunderstandings to take a center-stage in domestic matters. If you have a dominating Venus in your birth chart, and if your current planetary cycle influences your life via Venus then you are more likely to experience the effects of the retrograde Venus during May 16 - June 28, 2012. The entertainers like actors, actresses, musicians, comedians, movie directors and producers may find themselves in a miserable situation during the retrograde Venus period especially if they are currently being influenced by Venus through their current progressive cycles.

During this year, several ninefold squares occur between the planets of action (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Mars) that may become cause for collective anxiety and insecurity. And the entire year is likely to witness the events that will make a strong and long lasting impact on us.  Especially June through October period may turn out to be very crucial for such events. During the same period, the world financial markets will exhibit marked volatility.

Despite the challenges of economic growth around the world, advances in technology and sciences will absolutely be phenomenal. The major scientific and technological breakthroughs in fields of medicine, biotechnology, high technology and space science will be remarkable.

Finally, according to Mayan calendar, the last date of their calendar falls on December 21-23, and there has been a lot of hype about it all around the world.  From planetary standpoint, besides strong influence of the modern planets due to their disposition in spiritual signs (Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces) I don't see any particular and special planetary configuration that will happen in December 2012.  Perhaps we as human will collectively transform to the next level of spiritual growth before the end of this year.

Monthly Global Prediction for January 2012

 The important challenging planetary configurations for January include ninefold squares of Uranus-Jupiter (Jan 8-23) and Uranus-Rahu/Ketu (Jan 23-30); and Saturn-Jupiter (Jan 30 - Feb 4) ninefold quincunx.

The auspicious planetary configurations for January are: Neptune-Saturn (Dec 22 - Feb 2) trine, Pluto-Rahu (Jan 24-30) ninefold trine, and Pluto-Jupiter (Dec 18 - Jan 23) ninefold sextile.

The Uranus-Rahu and Uranus-Ketu ninefold squares may become responsible for terrorist activities in the United States besides the volatile region of the Middle-East (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Israel and Palestine) and North African region. Also, these squares may challenge President Obama and his administration for dealing with foreign matters that might require taking extra precautions.

The manifestation of the Uranus-Jupiter ninefold square may be reflected in challenges that world religious leaders are likely to face, particularly those challenges will be more pronounced in the United States. The  religious leaders, who are willing to be open minded and ready to listen and act on new and fresh ideas, are the ones that going to be responsible to transform our religious world to a new level. In addition, the Saturn-Jupiter ninefold quincunx may become responsible for added challenges in carrying out their existing agenda in light of today's changing spiritual needs.

The manifestation of Neptune-Saturn trine will be reflected in positive period for Russia and China. Also, most of the technological areas are likely to make significant progress via inventions and discoveries. Spiritual and religious activities are likely to impart positive energy and create a very healthy atmosphere around us. 

The Pluto-Rahu ninefold trine will be responsible for a good period for economy. This period is also good for progress in technical fields (new innovations and discoveries) and religious reconciliation.

Pluto-Jupiter ninefold sextile is likely to manifest itself in changes in religious and academic and to some extent social fields. Initial reaction to the change might appear to be a bit confusing and perhaps chaotic, but the majority of us are going to embrace this new wave of change and are very likely to enjoy it.

The countries that are more likely to be affected during this month will be:  United States of America, Russia, China, European countries and Middle-East (Libya, Syria, Saudi-Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Palestine-Israel region).

President Obama's operating planet Neptune has been opposing his natal Rahu since mid-July, 2011 and will continue opposing his natal Rahu till January 20, 2012.  With Neptune in the seventh house of his progressive chart, it has been a challenging and deceptive environment that he has been dealing with, making it difficult for him to deal with the current pressing issues: the economy, international dealings, and deficit.  The Neptune in the fourth house of his ninefold progressive chart will force him to deal with the domestic issues, such as homeland security and immigration. Furthermore, the ninefold Saturn will conjunct the ninefold Neptune in the fourth house making it extremely challenging for him to deal with domestic political issues during the second half of January when Saturn becomes an operating planet for him. In addition, after January 17, Mars becomes an operating planet for him, and Mars being in the first house his progressive chart and becoming retrograde on January 24, his patience will be tested to its limit as he will be forced to deal with political challenges that will put him not only on defensive but those challenges will annoy and irritate him a great deal.  However, with Jupiter in Aries, the 9th house (11th from the eleventh) of his progressive chart and in the 11th house of his ninefold progressive chart, and Pluto's trine with his natal Pluto, he will still be able to inch towards success in leading the country to progress.

The ninefold squares of the lunar nodes with Uranus are not positive for the country during the last week of the month, and their manifestations are likely to be reflected in natural accidents and man-made calamities during that week. The Uranus-Jupiter ninefold square may become responsible for challenges that religious leaders must face in promoting their agenda. On a positive note, the influence of Neptune-Saturn trine will certainly be reflected in positive period for most of the technological areas, as those areas are likely to make significant progress via inventions and discoveries. Also, the month of January may turn out to be a positive month for republican leaders and the republic party. (more).

EarthquakesBased on the new earthquake prediction model (based on 1900-2009 data), the earthquake(s) of magnitude 7 or higher, if occur, are likely to occur on January 3, 6-7, 9-10, 12-13, 15, 19, 21-23, 28 and 31. (more).

Individual Predictions Uranus-Jupiter ninefold square (Jan 8-23):  While Jupiter deals with outward and material things Uranus's influence on us is very sudden and  with intensity.  If you have such square in your birth chart, and if you have any one of these two planets influencing you through your current progressive cycle then you are certainly going to have an experience of an extreme transformation (irreversible change) in your beliefs and moral values that you have been attached to. This period is challenging.  If you overcome the challenge, then it's time for marching ahead with a quantum leap in the process of self discovery (or evolution).  (more)
