The Next Solar Eclipse - The Beginning of the End?

The Next Solar Eclipse - The Beginning of the End?
Is the next total solar eclipse in 2012 the beginning of the end?The next solar eclipse in 2012 could very well be merely another one of nature's spectacles, but to some it symbolizes the start to the end of the world.It is no wonder that in many countries and throughout history solar eclipses have been viewed with dread. The sky darkens, birds quiet and animals start nesting, thinking it is nighttime. Tamara Andrews wrote in her book Dictionary of Nature Myths that the solar eclipse was immensely frightening to just about all ancient cultures.Why is the next solar eclipse so significant to doomsayers?Some people have stated that the earth is likely to end on December 21, 2012, which they say is an event foretold by the ending of the Mayan calendar. The "Long Count" calendar was implemented by the Maya to document past and future events. The abrupt ending of this calendar, some fear, proves that the Mayans have predicted the end of the world.What's more, The French philosopher Nostradamas made predictions with regards to the year 2012 in which massive destruction would be caused by "in the sky a great fire dragging a fire of sparks". It's thought it may refer to a comet; yet, in Century V, Quatrain 32 Nostradamas states, "Where all is good, all well abundant, in Sun and Moon its ruin approaches." The expression "...in Sun and Moon..." is not really clear, but an eclipse is able to only transpire with the sun as well as the moon. It's very likely he could be referring to the next solar eclipse on 14 November 2012, and the "ruin" he refers to could possibly be the end of the world.This quatrain fits with Century III, quatrain 34, which describes the "monster" that will appear or happen during a solar eclipse: "Then when the eclipse of the sun will be in broad daylight the monster will be seen".Further still, many believe 2012 will be associated with many worldwide catastrophes, although not an actual ending of the earth. One could believe that the increase in magnitude and frequency of earthquakes, floods, tsunamis as well as other natural disasters the earth is experiencing now is part of this prophesy.Astronomers will note that two other significant astrological events will happen in 2012 apart from the total solar eclipse: the transit of Venus June as well as a penumbral eclipse on in November, while astrologers commonly see these eclipses as a portent for disasters.So will the next solar eclipse of November 14, 2012 mark the End of Days? We could simply take a confident approach to this question and decide, like a lot of New Agers, that in 2012 one particular form of consciousness comes to an end and another will begin.

Millions in Asia and the Western US were looking up as a rare "ring of fire" eclipse crossed the sky. The eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, leaving only a golden "ring of fire" visible.
