However,the worlds' end is not to be taken in a literal sense but figuratively.The world's end may very well be the end of the Age of Pisces and mark an in between or transition point before the next Age,Aquarius. Transition point we can assume,will be rough,difficult and turbulent.Some people interpret the Aztec prophecies in marking a collective change in human consciousness. What I find particularly interesting is both Pisces and Aquarius deal with the element of water which is linked to spirituality.I wonder if Cthulhu will still sleep if the water element is dominant unless his symbol is water to some degree. I must find a secret to return on the Age of Gemini lol ;D .Being one myself,Id love to see what that will look like (talk about two sides ) I find myself in a bit of quandry as to when this shift is supposedly going to happen. According to the astrological data we shift into Aquarius in 2150....the Mayans have their calendar ending on 2012. What gives? Is this inferring that the interval of time between 2012 and 2150 is going to be the time of turbulence? I am confused. Anyone got more info? And furthermore....please correct me if I am wrong.....I thought the Mayan calendar is the one that ends and the Aztec one does not.? This all makes my brain hurt.

Ok. I did go find this and of all the sites I looked at today, it seemed pretty good info. "Age of Aquarius No one knows when it starts! The twelve zodiacal constellations are of different sizes, and the borders between them are very indistinct. We will be moving into the New Aquarian Age of western astrology sometime within the next 200 years. There is no singlular date on which it will happen, just a gradual change. In the same vein we find hidden in the fifth appendix of Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 an admission from Jenkins that… “it would be more accurate to say that the alignment occurs in the era of AD. 2012; because precession is such a slow phenomenon, fifty years on either side might be appropriate.” [Author’s italics][6] It appears we must look elsewhere for the why and how of what may happen. It is unlikely that the Mayan calendar end-date coincidentally occurs on a solstice, yet a solstice is only an annual position within our orbit around the sun – a solstice on its own cannot change or harm us. I suggest that 2012 is a year that the Maya always knew of, a year in which a cosmic activity will affect our planet. Their choice of Dec 21 to end the calendar on was chosen only because the winter solstice is the gloomiest day of the year, and the most appropriate day to form myths around." This makes more sense to me. I cannot see how we know the exact date....a 50-200 year slide makes a lot more sense to me than the idea of all this happening in one day or moment. I am not saying its not coming....I am just saying that I seriously doubt that it will all happen in a flash. The site I pulled the quote off of is this: www.survive2012.comAll I say personally on the issue is this......I want to live long enough to see the end of the xtian paradigm.

HELL YEAH ! ;D ,I agree with that one.I seldom ever listen to hip hop but if I hear another hip hop artist make reference to god or religion,I am seriously going to puke. I'm doubtful something abrupt will happen on Dec . 21 ,2012 but whatever I am doing,I will definitely take that day off.With everything aligned,that has got to be the best day to go astral / outer body and soak up some spiritual rays.That my friends will be a fun day for me.

There's supposed to be an asteroid passing close to the Earth in 2012... (just thought I should say it)

Something I have been bothered/fascinated by ever since a certain thing (which I'll tell about later in my upcoming official introduction, related to Cthulhu and the number three) happened in my childhood, is Orion's Belt in the Orion (duh) constellation, which points the way "downwards" to Sirius and "upwards" to Aldebaran, both of which have some kind of mythical features. I've been having a special feeling viewing those three stars in a row for quite a while. Now, I saw the movie The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky a few weeks ago. Watch it. There is a nearly perfect pyramid of luminous bodies similar in magnitude formed under Orion's Belt, with the Belt's middle star being the top of it. And almost exactly in the middle of the triangle is the Orion Nebula, in which (at least in the film) the mythical Mayan Realm of the Dead is located. I can't remember the name for the place. And I can't help but feel that this is somehow related to whatever happens in 2012. As a cherry on the top, the Orion Nebula is coded M42 - and any reader of science fiction knows that there's a certain meaning to that number in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I was glad I couldn't see the stars the night I watched The Fountain, I was too fucking overwhelmed by that film. A quick link so you can check it out for yourself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(constellation) (remember that the triangle/pyramid shape is a bit crooked in the picture, but tilt your head and you'll see) Ironically there is a Finnish pharmaceutics company named Orion which manufactures the DXM-containing Resilar cough syrup, which has brought me many a sanity-blasting night...

Orion is associated with Osirus and Sirius is associated with Isis.As for Alderbaran,Im not sure but it does seem you stumbled upon a step in the egyptian mysteries without knowing it .Ironic

Sometimes I wish my life had less irony. Those goddamn pyramids have marked me and I'm really going to lose my mind one of these days.
The stars are taken half by Satan dragged though an ever increasing black dent in the night sky The other half run towards the Pleiades and Aldebaran...

Yay! The Pleiades is my favorite constellation! Since I live in an urban area, only the brightest stars are visible, but the Pleiades stands at the limit. They're invisible if you look right at them, and they appear if you look next to them.

It's weird to go outside for a smoke when that strange triangle is glaring straight at me from the sky! I even saw a shooting star just a minute ago near it.
And in the morning the sky has rotated so that the incredibly bright North Star is right in front of me when I step outside. I love this clear frozen weather!

Yes the wintersky is a view to be beheld.
Personally i have a set of three stars on a row that i keep an eye on every day as i walk home from my friends place. I dont know their name however, but im sure they are only a little part of a bigger constellation. I would love to take nightsky photos, but the digital cameras that i have cannot.

I think you're talking about the same group of stars that I am. Three relatively bright ones, close to each other, in a perfect line?
Look below them and imagine the middle star being the top of a triangle. Then you see a huge perfect pyramid in the sky. In the center of the pyramid is the Realm of the Dead according to Mayas. Next time I'm going to my father's place, I'm going to borrow his SLR camera and take a long exposure photo of Orion. I want to see better what that pyramid contains.
I haven't studied the stars any more than this either... I only recognise one constellation in addition to Orion. I'd like to learn, but everything in time.
