Predictions for 2011

Welcome to the wild and wacky beginning of 2011. If you thought the intensity was over, take a deep breath and know that for the first 6 months it is going to be a wild ride. There are many reasons, not the least of which is the tremendous intensity of the astrological Grand Cardinal Square.

Lets look at this for a minute. A Grand Cardinal Square is a rare event that impacts everyone and will especially affect those who are cardinal signs. Those signs are Cancer (Cardinal Water), Libra (Cardinal Air), Capricorn (Cardinal Earth), and Aries (Cardinal Fire). Cardinal signs are the signs that show direction. Cancer is the time of the Summer Solstice, Libra is the time of the Fall Equinox, Capricorn is the time of the Winter Solstice, and Aries is the time of the Spring Equinox. Each of these signs is pointing us in different directions. The effect is one of feeling pulled apart, radical change in your life directions, purpose, mission, and desire, and feeling as if the stability in your life is no longer there. This began on May 27 but it will continue in greater and lesser extents till 2015.

These patterns will affect how we live and view the world on a global, as well as, a personal scale.

The year begins with a new moon eclipse on Jan 4, which is the same day, that Uranus and Jupiter will make their third and final conjunction at 27 degrees Pisces. On one level this will make all of us feel better when it is over but the effect is one of electrifying the year with expanding medical accomplishments and a new understanding of humanitarian needs.

This conjunction signals a new expansion and influence in hybrid, electric vehicles and the green energy systems finding a strong foothold in our society. The next time we will see this pattern is not until April 21, 2024. At which time these new systems will be completely the norm. You may find that by then solar panels will be required on all new construction.

When Jupiter goes into Aries on Jan 23 you are going to be drawn to new adventures. Just know that as exciting as it will feel sometimes the influence of Aries causes us to start things but not finish them. So make an agreement with yourself to stay on top of the unfolding pattern and know that you are the hero of your own journey. You want your hero to overcome the obstacles and win in the end. That means to keep going when the going gets tough.

On Feb 25 the aspects demand truth, justice, and honesty or there will be huge global implications that will affect everyone. It may also cause the next hit to the economy to be the defaulting of student loans.

Uranus enters Aries again and permanently for the next 7 years on March 13. This will cause a world revolution about what we what, what we believe, and what we are now choosing to create. Personal freedom will become very important and the desire for less government in our lives will become a theme. The individual and the feeling of revolting against the past patterns will become obvious and it is sure to spill out of the private area into the political and global perspective. You will find a strong rise in the Tea Party and people will want a movement that represents more individual freedom and a resistance to large institutions that want to create more regulation in people’s lives.

As Neptune goes back into Pisces April 4 it will bring new developments and environmental changes around water. Now that may be that there is a lot of rain and snow and the water tables increase. It may also bring awareness to the pollution of the earth’s waters and the desire to bring new restrictions and laws into place.

May 1-12 brings a moment when we will have 5 planets in Aries, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus. This is an unusual pattern and those that are Aries may feel this more than everyone else. Also those who are ruled by Mars may feel that hit intimately. So that will be Aries and Scorpio as Scorpio has a dual planet ruler ship of Mars and Pluto. Home prices will still have not recovered and this is a slow pattern to change but the recovery will begin.

This is a lot of energy as Aries is the sign of springtime and new beginnings. But Aries is also the God of War and you can expect a volatile quality to cause provocation from Iran and North Korea. Iran’s chart is at 0 degrees Aries and all this energy going into Aries can create an atmosphere of tension and anger. It would be good for everyone to watch his or her tempers during that cycle. The cards indicate that Korea is a greater threat than realized.

On June 4^th Jupiter enters Taurus. Yea! This is finally the place where the consumer will feel money expand and the things you have been putting off purchasing will seem easier to buy. If you have been looking for a job, the opportunities will increase, as the businesses will be in the mood to hire.

There will be a deep feeling that everyone wants to move, take trips, and get going in their new life by the middle of the year.

This is a turning point year. We will discover and want to find our own center and new values. There is a rebellion to break away from the old established ways of doing things and create new grass roots businesses and networking. You will want to put into action your new beliefs and perspectives. It will require a sacrifice but it will be worth it in the end.

So from the middle of June onward you will see things finally improving on all fronts.

High points.

1. It will be revealed that Osama bin Laden is dead.

2. The Catholic Church will continue to be under strain and pressure as the influence of the church continues it’s downward slide. Within the next 5-10 years the church as we know it will dissolve because of its positions and policies.

3. The risk of war from Jan through May 2011 is extremely high but there is more bluff than actual crisis. Though the verbal repartee is going to create tremendous stress globally.

4. The green energy trend really gets a foothold and is going to become more popular and governmentally supported.

5. The job market will improve especially after June 2011.

6. Terror threats will continue but attacks are less effective in America but may be effective in other countries.

7. Our government will continue to be forced to look at changes that are influenced by the positions and perspective of the Tea Party.

8. We will see some amazing medical breakthroughs related to understanding the brain and diseases associated with the brain.

9. Immigration issues will continue to rise and the political fallout is going to continue.

10. There will be those who are going to become more and more Armageddon oriented as we get closer to 2012 and as it so often the case we will find fanatics that are so far out of the reality that they want to harm others or their followers. But 2012 will come and go without a real global crisis. The transformation is going to be related to the consciousness of humanity not the gloom and doom predicted.

11. More things will become revealed as to the real nature of alien visits to earth. Information will get leaked from governments as to facts and figures. This will change our perspective of our world.

12. The economy will be on the road to recovery by the end of 2011.

13. Our government will look at creative ways to increase tax revenue. Be ready to be surprised as to the places it may look for taxation.

14. Gay issues will become more on the forefront of government policies, such as; gay marriage, gay rights, as our government attempts to create more balance and understanding. This position will be opposed aggressively by the Tea Party movement but will slowly gain ground as our world will be required to put things that cause suffering to others to the side.

15. Hillary Clinton will continue to shine and her influence will be felt more and more as we head to the next presidential election. She may again, give Obama a run for his money.
