Predictions for 2010
By Stephanie Ellen St. Claire
HAPPY NEW YEAR
EVERYONE!
I know many people are extremely happy
that 2009 is over! There is no doubt that we are in a HUGE TRANSITION on
our planet earth; ultimately that will be a very good thing even though it
might not seem so at this time and within the next few years. The shift
taking place will eventually be beneficial for everyone on the planet
rather than for just a few people.
This year I am pleased to say that I am getting out this email in a timely
fashion. I am pulling information from many sources including myself. Feel
free to share this and pass along this information.
TRENDS FROM JOSE
and LENA STEVENS
(Power Path in Sante Fe, NM)
Jose and Lena give personality overleaves
channeled from the Michael Material which I teach extensively about in my
classes. I believe this information is extremely empowering. Their trends
for the year help to guide us all to make wise choices each year. I am
paraphrasing most of their information below into a shortened and succinct
manner. I am adding my own interpretation to the information as well.
We are moving from a success orientation to a relationship orientation
(including relationships with ourselves) at this time on the planet. In
Michael terms, we are moving from a Young Soul energy to a Mature Soul
energy on earth.
The Role emphasized this year is ARTISAN with a secondary influence of
SCHOLAR. What this means is that this is a highly creative year, a year of
inventiveness, reshaping and remolding ourselves and our lives. It is a
time for destroying whatever is not working in one's lives. One needs to
find one's own passion for doing something more creative with one's life
on a day to day basis including creating new relationships, family,
businesses, the arts and so forth. It's a time to reinvent how we relate
to everything including all of the people in our lives. It's a time to
find new solutions for problems. The sky's the limit. It's breaking down
and restructuring....the phoenix rising from the ashes.
The negative pole for Artisan is deception and illusion so one must be
careful not to delude ourselves into thinking we're making progress and
changing when we're still stuck in old habits. Artisans tend to not be
linear thinkers, so this will most likely not be an orderly year. It could
be chaotic as we are making changes. Nevertheless, it is time for people
to do something different and to think outside the box.
The secondary influence of Scholar energy has a grounded, stabilizing
effect on the Artisan energy of this year. Scholars like to gather
information, be pragmatic (an especially good thing this year), do a great
deal of research and generally analyze information carefully before making
decisions.
The goal this year (the goal is what we are all striving for) is
SUBMISSION, devotion to something bigger than we are. It is paired with
Dominance. So, we will feel like we want to devote or dedicate ourselves
to something positive such as beginning to "walk one's talk", being a
devoted leader out in the world or within our family or work situations,
wanting to create changes on the planet to a more cooperative society such
as the Sustainable Tucson group here in Tucson and those all over the
world. There will be a need to be more assertive to get things done so we
will slide to being dominant rather than passive.
The mode (how we accomplish the goal) is PASSION which is one of my most
favorite ones. The passion mode will drive us with huge amounts of energy
to take risks and to open the door to being more expressive. There will be
fewer boundaries. So we will find ourselves and others being passionate
about one's devotion to causes and changes in our lives and on the planet.
Passion is paired with the Reserve mode so one must be careful not to keep
closed up and inhibited.
The attitude (how we express the goal and mode) is SPIRITUALIST which is a
mystical way of looking at the world, looking at what's possible.....a
long range vision rather than looking at what's going on right now.
Looking at the grand scale, the big picture. Seeking the truth will
predominate. The negative pole is being stuck in one's beliefs. This
attitude can produce enlightenment for many people during these times due
to the increasing frequency of the planet. In addition, this attitude
allows one to have a broader vision of what one wants to create in one's
life. However, one must be careful not to slide to resignation (the
negative pole) and giving up on what one wants. (an example of this would
be thinking that everyone's losing their jobs, so I guess that's the way
it is so why bother).
The obstacle (what blocks all of us and is our undoing) this year is one
that is very common on the planet, STUBBORNNESS with a secondary of
Self-Destruction. Stubbornness is the fear of change. Self-Destruction is
the fear that life has no meaning, so what the heck am I doing here
anyway. I can't make any sense of it, so the heck with it, I will live
hard and die young, etc., etc. I am sure many of you know people who have
at some time uttered those very words at one time or another and perhaps
even at this very moment. Obviously, this attitude can lead to addictions
and substance abuse (self-destruction). So, it is IMPERATIVE that we all
retain a peaceful attitude no matter what is going on in the world. By
being peaceful, you draw peace unto yourself. I strongly suggest that upon
awakening each morning you repeat the following words:
I AM SAFE AND DIVINELY PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES. Do not get angry
no matter what is happening in your life or in the world. That anger will
draw more of what you do not want to yourself.
The centering for the year (how we respond to events) is MOVING which
impels us to action. People will feel restless, will want to get up and do
something productive. This, in fact, will turn out to be one of the most
productive years of our lives as we launch ourselves into new endeavors.
Obviously, it's a high energy year, finding what you have passion for and
actually acting on it. The part of center is the emotional center. Actions
will bring up a lot of emotions, so people will tend to act and then be
moved by how they are feeling rather than thinking. It's not a
particularly rationalize year as in years past, so watch out for impulsive
energies. Dancing and other physical activities that engender feeling are
productive ways to handle this type of energy.
The basic needs for this year are ADVENTURE (travel, doing things),
COMMUNION (being with like minded people) and EXPRESSION (the desire to
express one's passion) are what most people will seek.
The element of FIRE (inventions, earth changes) is prominent. This could
be hard on the liver but it's great for manifesting what you want in your
life.
So to sum up the trends this year, it will be an amazingly creative year
focused with passion most likely leading to some pretty incredible
technologies, inventions and discoveries. Thinking of how this could help
the planet and everyone on it. Things will actually get done because it's
a make-it-happen year. It's truly a revolutionary year. Be careful to stay
balanced in your life through physical activity, yoga, tai chi,
meditation, etc.
It's a year of questioning everything including our values.....as a
society as well as the educational, medical and other systems. The times
will demand radical changes not little ones. Out with the old and in with
the new. Changing the rules of how things work. Breaking free! Personal
transformation is accelerated, more than ever before.
CHINESE ASTROLOGY -
THE YEAR OF THE TIGER
(info taken from boonming.com)
"The Chinese year begins on Valentine's
Day this year, February 14, 2010. This is a fast paced year for all signs
of the Chinese zodiac. People need to take extra care in planning and
thinking all projects through. Drama, intensity, change and travel are the
keywords for 2010. Unfortunately, world conflicts and disasters tend to
feature during Tiger years so it won't be a dull year, that's for sure.
The Year of the Tiger will bring far reaching changes for everyone. New
inventions and incredible technological advances have a good chance of
occurring. For all of the Chinese horoscope signs, this year is one to be
active.....seizing opportunities and making the most of our personal and
very individual talents. Everything happens quickly and dramatically in a
Tiger year.....blink and you could miss an important chance of a
lifetime!"
ASTROLOGICAL
INFLUENCES FOR THE YEAR
(by Stephanie)
REMEMBER THIS: astrological
influences can be significant or not. Astrology does NOT control us but is
merely indicative of trends, that's all. Obviously astrology is
significant; otherwise we would not bother. Nevertheless, I always go by
the 80/20 rule with astrological and psychic predictions; 80% of the time,
something DOES happen, favorable or unfavorable. 20% of the time, NOTHING
happens. So, please don't forget this because it pertains to this entire
email!
Right now Mercury is retrograde until January 15th at which time it goes
direct, it's normal motion. When Mercury is retrograde, it is NOT a good
time to sign significant documents. All forms of communication can break
down....it's not uncommon for computers, telephones and so forth to have
problems during this time. Travel can potentially be a problem as well.
Mercury retrogrades three-four times a year three weeks at a time. Mercury
retrogrades the following dates throughout this year:
- April 17/18 - May 11th
- August 20 - September
12th
- December 10 - December
29/30
Mars is currently retrograde (it does so
every two years) until March 10th. Mars has to do with action and energy,
so one must be careful of anything mechanical that one buys at this time
or that was made during a Mars Retrograde (very hard to know). I wouldn't
want to start anything new during a Mars Retrograde, if I could help it,
because Mars is not operating at full capacity, so things might not move
as quickly as they should.
Venus Retrogrades from October 8 - November 15. Venus retrogrades every
two years as does Mars. Venus has to do with love.......I would avoid
beginning a new relationship during a Venus Retrograde, and I certainly
would not make a commitment nor get married during this aspect. At this
time, people born from March 18 - 26, June 18 - June 26th, September 20 -
September 27, and December 19 - December 26th have had a fairly rough year
in 2009. These difficult aspects will be continuing through September of
this year off and on. Of course, one would have to look at an individual
chart to see the extent of the "damage control".
What is happening for these people is that currently Saturn is in the
early degrees of Libra but is being squared (a difficult aspect) by Pluto
in Capricorn, so that Saturn is squaring Pluto, a fairly difficult aspect
for people born at the beginning of Libra and Capricorn. Then on April 8th
- July 21st, Saturn retrogrades back into Virgo, hitting people born at
the end of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius because Uranus is
opposite in Pisces at those degrees making life somewhat uncertain for
these people. On July 22nd, Saturn goes into Libra for two years.
In addition, on May 29th, Uranus goes into Aries with Jupiter by its side.
Throughout the summer, all hell could break loose in the world because
many major planets are forming extremely volatile aspects to each other.
So, I guess we will all wait and see how things unfold!
People who were born with their Suns in Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn
are certainly in for some interesting times the next couple of years.
Those people who are turning 29 or 58 (first and second Saturn Returns)
these next two years will have many interesting changes in their lives.
However, when all is said and done, I, personally, believe all change is
ultimately good change whether we view it as so at the time or not.
So, here's to creating a VERY, VERY POWERFUL year ahead for all. Remember,
there are many self empowering tools at everyone's disposal. There's the
Water Exercise, the Walking Exercise, the New/Full Moon Exercise, the
Healing Mantras and many others to help us create all that we want.
If you would like any of these exercises or tools, just email me, and I
will forward them to you. They really work!
Many happy and fruitful blessings to each of you in this exciting new
year. Stephanie
The High Cost Of Technology To Our Well-Being
By Phyllis Light, Ph.D
Life today is vastly different from life
only a generation ago. The changes that have taken place bring
overwhelming challenges that none of us have ever had to face. Technology
has taken over many aspects of modern life, which we have come to accept
as normal.
We can call home on our cell phone, from
just about anywhere we go. We can send an email with the click of a
button, and stay in touch with our family and friends far away. We can pop
dinner in the microwave and in 3 to 6 minutes, sit down and eat a full
course meal. We can use a remote control and change channels on the TV,
open our garage door, and change songs on our stereo, CD, or MP3 player.
We can sit in front of our computer and pay our bills—no need for stamps,
envelopes, or a trip to the post office. Technology helps us in countless
ways; yet, most people are totally unaware of the high cost to our health
and well-being. READ FULL ARTICLE...
What You Need To Know About WiFi — Friend or Foe?
By Phyllis Light, Ph.D
In our ever-expanding world of
technology, there is a new advancement called WIFI (“wireless fidelity”).
With the right equipment (a card in your computer), you can connect to the
internet anywhere you are, without needing a physical hook-up. Convenient?
Certainly. Yet, how is WIFI is affecting us energetically?
