Maya Calendar -- What Will Happen After December 21?














Some believe that, once the Maya Calendar expires this Friday, December 21, life as we know it will cease to exist. At the same time, others argue that there will be a profound shift in consciousness -- anyone who reaches a higher level will flourish, while those who don't will suffer.

Scholars, however, claim that each of these views are a misinterpretation of the ancient Maya texts, arguing instead that there is no simple way of equating Maya time to the modern Western calendar. Furthermore, even if one phase of the Maya calendar does end, then another will start.

So why all the disaster theories?

Aries

Keep things short and spicy by serving cocktails and hors d'oeuvres rather than a formal sit-down meal. Your fiery nature loves activity, so be sure to create space for a dance floor as you decorate in bright colors.

Cancer

Quality time with your inner circle matters most, so host a cozy dinner party. Home-cooking fits your

How Your Sun Sign Handles the Holidays
Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we're now into the heart of the season of family gatherings. For some, this is cause for celebration; for others, great dread. Even the healthiest of families can experience tension when everyone is again thrown into one place. How does your Sun sign handle the holidays?



Aries' usual spontaneity is a bit squelched throughout the holiday season, for they may find that family members are more defensive or critical than before. They need to be less of an entertainer and instead focus on trying to pull everyone together.

In their own placid way, Taurus is able to keep everyone calm. They don't look like they're doing much, but they wield a positive influence that's very persuasive. Their strength of personality invariably wins their loved ones over.

Gemini is thrilled to have a wide range of conversations to be part of. At first, they may need to push themselves to join the party. Once they warm up, however, everyone is bound to enjoy their company.
