Predictions for 2007

2007 and the Numerology of Completion

2007 is the year of Completion in Numerology. This requires us all to step up to the plate and admit our weaknesses of the past in order to be able to more forward in new and creative ways. The nine year is a year that tells us it is time to let go of the old self in order to find an expanding self-perspective. There is completion of the old patterns. The nine-year opens us to new possibilities and frees us from the burden of carrying others’ emotional baggage.

As sadness was let go last year now new skills have become available. This will help us become more open to the mystical and spiritual aspects in life. This is a good year to finalize a divorce, find a new love, buy a new home, begin a new endeavor. The nine-year is a good time to find committed relationships that are different from any previously.

Lesson: Be open and free for completion. Intuition opens up. Let go of the old you and allow yourself to find the expanding perspective of self.

So in relation to the world, the nine-year is going to give the feeling that we must let go of our previous ideas about a situation and admit that we may need to find a new way to deal with the continued violence in the Middle East. The nine-year will force us to take another look at the past situations with fresh perspective and more honesty.

Last year 2006 was an eight-year and this was a year of great hardship, sadness, death, and loss. The only way to learn is to make a few mistakes. However, to continue to make those same mistakes is not helpful or appropriate.

The nine-year wants to shift the energy and allow different ideas to blossom. The change is greatly needed and we are learning to come back to our authentic center. When things look bleak we can fall into the despair and suffering of others and forget to maintain our own high standards and ideals. All we have is our values. If we loose that, then the negative forces in the Middle East will have won. We will have allowed ourselves to get pulled down to their level.

Regardless, change is on the way. 2008 will be a ten-one new beginning year. Hopefully the changes can come early if we keep a positive focused attitude.

The Cards for 2007

Arthurian Tarot: The Green Knight
Mayan Oracle: Akbal, Ik
Aleister Crowley: Prince of Wands, Defeat, Ace of Disks, Moon
Medicine Cards: Buffalo, Armadillo
Ancient Egyptian Tarot: Six of Swords, Nine of Disks, Six of Disks
Words of Truth: Self Love, Aggression, No Movement

In a nutshell the cards indicate that there is going to be tremendous effort required and tests of skill, personal moral value, and consequences for all internal weaknesses. 2007 is a feeling of moving into the darkness and dreamtime of Akbal. It also tells me that we are going to have to go off a cliff of our old reality and find new ways to do the tasks being presented. As we move forward we are going to face defeats moment by moment. We need to keep our head and not get confused by all the information and others ideas and perspectives. We need to reclaim our inner moral values and do what is right rather than what is socially appropriate. There is more going on below the surface and we cannot trust the world situation at face value. There are major forces at work in governments to work against us. We need to be grateful for all small forward progress and have clear boundaries with certain governments. There is much conflict and aggression to deal with. It is important to keep our head and find ways to keep things going forward. We cannot sell out how we interact in the world. This year we need to be bold and work forward in new, energetic, and accelerated ways.


The War on Terror

If often feels as if the conflicts in the Middle East will never settle down. The civil war pattern that began escalating in late November is still not into a place of harmony. It is so amazing to me how people will choose fighting over learning more peaceful means to learn to live with each other. I hope that in my lifetime we may find ways to educate and allow others to have their opinions without needing to negate and harm others to prove that we are right.

The cards indicate continued stresses and divided loyalties along the Middle East. It seems that the Royal lines in Saudi Arabia and Syria do not want things to escalate out of control. When things inflame in one area they spill over into other Islamic areas also. I can feel the powers attempting to find a way to control the people but I have a bad feeling about it. When terrorists have been allowed to have this much power and permission to cross borders and be protected, they become emboldened. This usually backfires on anyone who condones or allows them to go unchecked. Based on the cards that I see, the chaos is inflaming and driving energies further into crisis. I do not believe that the US will pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan but the civil war energy will finally bring larger forces such as the UN to finally need to participate and mediate. The US will have to back down in relation to having the complete control over those areas and it would be best if UN forces assisted in a more obvious way.

In general, there needs to be tremendous more men and equipment placed in the appropriate areas to stabilize this region. This will begin in earnest in February.

We need to step beyond our pristine world and look with eyes of compassion. We need to help without judging others for the situations in which they find themselves. We are all human beings working together and trying to survive as best we can. There are no quick answers. Patience is learned and earned.

Look to the places where you complain and try a different approach. Look at situations through another’s eyes for just a minute and have compassion. Then from that openhearted place make yourself available to assist in the way they need rather than from the perspective you need.

Needless to say, the pressure is tremendous and this task is going to test our courage and diplomacy. There may be times when we feel our government is way out of its comfort zone. There are no short cuts to success this year. We need to be careful to not step into traps that are presented as what we want. Caution is going to be required in all choices and movements. We need to ask for more help and assistance from those that are trustworthy. That may be difficult to find.

There is a tremendous amount of world aggression mounting with the chaotic energy. This energy can be like a cancer, spreading and infecting everything around it. Like cancer it needs to be handled very carefully so it does not spread in ways that inflame the negativity. Sometimes such energy has to be contained and allow the negative energy to burn itself out. Somehow in this entire struggle we need to not feel stuck and hopeless. There will be moments when it feels so stuck that there seems to be no way out. But all energy changes eventually. We just have to stay true to our values and protect our country by voting and making our perspective heard within our government.

We are going to set some new boundaries with other countries and not allow inappropriate action to harm or cause suffering. This includes the Middle East but also Mexico, Iran, and Korea.

Korean Nuclear Conflict

We are going to see a bold move from China to block or inhibit Korean aggression as we move into 2007. This is because China is hosting the Olympics in 2008 and they do not want to look bad on the world stage. This event is a tremendous turning point potentially for China and they want it to go off without a hitch. I sense that Korea will do something that will catapult China into action. This will work in our favor however, the event seems very aggressive and damaging to others. I cannot tell if it is directed or targeted at us, but something will happen that is damaging and volatile.

Bird Flu

Bird Flu is still showing up in the cards in 2007. It is not a matter of if, but when it will get out of control. I am proud of the different agencies that are trying to keep a lid on the situation. They have been doing an excellent job! I hope they can continue to stop the progression of this flu strain for 3 more years. At that time, I see breakthroughs in medical research that will transform how we treat certain viruses and flu.

The cards for 2007 are not good, but I believe a positive attitude and prayer helps a lot. So stay healthy. If you are sick, stay home and protect others.

Africa and the Aids Epidemic

Amazingly, the celebrity attention is making a difference in Africa. More drugs are becoming available for those infected and even though there is a long way to go, hope springs eternal. Progress is being made and if the flu is kept at bay in Africa the situation is not as bad as it could be. Darfur is beginning to find balance by March of 2007.
