2011
A Year of new beginnings and deepening spirituality
We are in the
midst of profound transformations,
upheavals
and awakenings. This has been prophesized as
The Mayan End Times, The Hopi Fifth World,
The Turning of the Ages, the Ascension,
The Great Awakening, and so on.
Powerful infusions of Divine Light are catalyzing the evolution of
the Collective Consciousness of Humanity and bringing us the tools to rise above (to Ascend) the limited reality of ‘what
is'. It is moving us to a greater understanding of the Law of Attraction and what is referred to as our "Vibrational
Reality". We will have an inner knowing that we have the power to create our reality through managing our physical
vibrational pattern of thoughts, words and actions at all times, regardless of what is happening around us.
"It is always true that whatever you are
living always matches your chronic Vibrational patterns, or beliefs. And it does not matter even if you have an excellent
excuse for your negative thoughts and negative emotions - they still equal your point of attraction. What is manifesting
on every subject in your life is an indicator of the beliefs you hold and your chronic patterns of thought." (Abraham/Hicks)
"Change the way you look at things
and the things you look at will change." (Wayne Dyer)
We are shifting from The Age of Pisces (characterized by a philosophy of
"I Believe") to The Age of Aquarius (characterized as "I Know").
We are collectively evolving spiritually to where every individual will realize their unique relationship with the Divine
through personal experience. This is also referred to as The Golden Age.
The Golden Age is here now
for every person who chooses it. It is a matter of letting go of any resistance that is holding you hostage to old
ways of being, and embracing the Source energy that is within each of us. Source energy is a vibrational frequency of non-resistance.
It is pure-positive energy.
The
Mayan Long Count Calendar ends on December 21st, 2012. Could the ending of this calendar mark
the end of the Age of Pisces, and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius/the Golden Age? If so, what does this mean?
What can you do to help create the most positive possibilities? One way is through daily meditation. Daily meditation
will help you to release resistance and to come into alignment with the power, clarity and love that is really who-you-are.
Nothing is more important than to be centered in this love.
The Age of Aquarius/the Golden Age, is a 2150-year period of Humanitarian
development, in which the uniqueness and interconnectedness of every individual is honored and cared for by our society.
However, Humanity is not going to just wake up one
morning and magically be at peace and accept the Golden Age. It will happen for each person, individually, and only when they
are ready. Don't wait for everyone else to get it! You are only responsible for yourself, as is every soul on the planet.
You cannot control another's actions, and any attempt to do so will be futile. Make the choice to accept your own Self-realization
now and step into the Golden Age.
In
this idealistic paradigm, every individual is honored and nurtured for the gifts they offer, and the well-being of the collective
whole benefits and flourishes. As each individual connects with their inner guidance, they will discover their passion
for life, unique talents and abilities.
Two key characteristics of the Aquarian Age are freedom and equality - freedom of religious practices,
racial equality and equality of the sexes. Prejudice and discrimination will fall away as we focus on our similarities.
We humans are much more similar to each other than different.
Another quality of the Aquarian/Golden Age is the accelerated expansion of higher consciousness.
Veils are being lifted, revealing profound spiritual Truths that have been hidden from Humanity for thousands of years.
The planet Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, inspires
Truth. At its higher octave expression, Uranus represents Divine (Christ) Consciousness. The second coming is the realization
of this energy within ourselves. We will recognize each other as brothers and sisters of the same Human Family. We will see
each other as extended parts of the One Self. As each individual accepts their intrinsic interconnection, personal inner peace
will naturally become a reality and true compassion will be the norm. To develop and maintain a compassionate heart, become
involved in a network or group and, at the same time, maintain autonomy. Share your uniqueness.
There is only one religion - the religion of love.
There is only one caste - the caste of Humanity.
There is only one Race - the Human Race.
(Sathya Sai Baba)
The Age of Aquarius brings the development
of worldwide organizations, international collaboration, and the fellowship of humankind. It is a time when science
meets, confirms and becomes one with spirituality; when the metaphysical principles of creation are accepted as scientific
reality, such as Quantum Physics. Quantum Physics has proven the relationship between the observer and the observed. Each
person affects everything and everything affects each person.
The Alpha & Omega - Shifts into the Signs of Aries and Pisces
In 2011, Jupiter and Uranus enter the sign of Aries
(the first sign of the zodiac - the Alpha) on January 22nd and March 11th, respectively. Aries
represents new expressions of the cosmos. Chiron and Neptune move into the sign of Pisces (the last sign of the zodiac - the
Omega) on February 8th and April 4th, signifying the completion stage of major cycles.
Jupiter in Aries
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system,
represents the principle of expansion. Jupiter asks: What matters most to you? What beliefs need to be updated? What is
possible now? On January 22nd, Jupiter completes its final degree of Pisces and continues its once-every-twelve-year
transit through the sign of Aries (from January 22nd thru June 3rd, 2011). While in Aries, Jupiter stimulates
individual initiative and courageous leaps of faith.
Jupiter in Taurus
Jupiter enters the sign of Taurus on June 4th, turns retrograde on August 30 (at 10 degrees Taurus),
and ends the year at 0 degrees Taurus. In Taurus, Jupiter expands our desire for more beauty, peace, contentment and connection
with nature.
Uranus in Aries
Uranus represents the larger, generational cycles
of the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. Transiting Uranus stimulates the breaking down of old structures in order for
new ones to emerge. As the ruler of Aquarius and the Age of Aquarius, Uranus stimulates independent, radical and unexpected
behavior, inspirations, inventions, scientific discoveries, group organizations, Divine consciousness, enlightenment, the
Collective Consciousness and soul evolution. Uranus was in the sign of Aries for a brief period, from May 27th
to August 13th, 2010, then it re-entered the sign of Pisces. On March 11th, 2011, Uranus re-enters
Aries and continues an eight-year transit through this first sign of the zodiac (until March 5th, 2019). Aries
is the sign of bold new beginnings, aggressiveness, impulsiveness and adventures. The transit of Uranus in Aries sparks rebellion
and generates grassroots movements that challenge hierarchical organizations and calcified institutions. Uranus shows where
we must be willing to innovate, question the status quo, and be an agent of radical change. Uranus in the sign of Aries asks:
What alternatives do you need to explore? Where are you ready for a radical change? How are you making a difference in
the world? Look to the area of your Natal Chart where Aries is to understand where Uranus is impacting your life.
Uranus transiting the sign of Aries will ignite
the passions of the people to break free of restrictions and blaze forward with a new sense of purpose and fortitude. People
will feel stimulated to take bold actions for freedom and independence. This tendency will be greatly stimulated from March
11th thru June 3rd, while both Jupiter and Uranus are in the sign of Aries.
When Uranus last transited the sign of Aries, from 1927 - 1937, Gandhi
lead a civil disobedience movement in India, Franklin D. Roosevelt presented the New Deal (in response to the financial crash
of 1929), the Social Security Act was passed and women's suffrage happened in Great Britain.
Uranus Square Pluto
Uranus and Pluto are two spiritual, transpersonal
planets that catalyze the evolution of the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. They were aligned in a Conjunction Aspect
throughout most of the 1960's and were exactly conjunct (at 16 - 17 degrees in the sign of Virgo) three times from 1965 -
1966. That was a turbulent time of social and political movements. The "Hippie" movement was born - when rebellious
young people dropped out of society; Woodstock became infamous; experiments with psycho hallucinogenic drugs at Harvard occurred;
peace demonstrations throughout the world became rampant; people openly spoke out against the war in Vietnam; civil rights
movements were prevalent, the independence of many African colonies; also, Dr. Martin Luther King, President John F.
Kennedy and Robert Kennedy were assassinated; and holistic living and meditation became popular. There were also major advances
in science and technology: the first man in space, the first synthesis of DNA and Chaos Theory.
From May 2010 thru March 2018, Uranus
and Pluto are aligned in a Square Aspect. Squares mark major turning points and build on the previous conjunction (the 1960's).
This Square Aspect represents a profound time for discovering personal mastery through meeting and overcoming major challenges
and obstacles. All human beings will be stimulated by opportunities to grow emotionally and spiritually. We must be willing
to question the direction our lives are going, how we are showing up in our lives and our personal motives for everything
we do.
This cycle represents transformations
in the consciousness and relationships of people and societies. Basic wisdom about the metaphysical workings of the Universe
will be revealed. Misconceptions will be revealed, and many people will question their sanity. For all who have eyes
to see and ears to hear the truth, there will be a bridging of our mundane awareness (programmed by society) to a higher consciousness
through personal revelation. This ultimately leads to ‘letting go' and ‘letting God' - surrendering all resistance
and allowing joy into our lives.
This
powerful alignment will reach peak intensities seven times from 2012 to 2015: June 24th, 2012, May 20th,
2013, November 1st, 2013, April 21st, 2014, December 15th, 2014, March 16th,
2015 and July 4th, 2015.
We
are in a pivotal period of profound shifts in consciousness that will reshape our world reality. We must re-think our habitual
ways of being and move beyond "the box".
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." (T.S.
Eliot)
Pluto Square
Saturn
From April 8th
through July 21st 2011, Pluto is in a Square aspect with Saturn. The structures in our world are being transformed
and purged on many levels. There will be significant disclosures of previously hidden information. These may include
investigations into some of the major religious, governmental, political and corporate organizations of the world. As a result,
there will be great shifts in the structures of these organizations.
In our personal lives, it is important to examine our structures, commitments and principles to see
if these are in harmony with that which we know as our Truth. Those aspects of our lives that are not in harmony with our
higher Truth must be changed. Sometimes, the commitments that we made in the past were based on principles that are no longer
in alignment with our current truth. If you no longer feel good about certain structures and relationships - recreate them.
Chiron in Pisces
The planet Chiron was discovered in 1977, orbiting
between Saturn and Uranus, and is known as the "Wounded Healer". It represents a bridging of energy between the
physical realm (Saturn) and the metaphysical realm (Uranus). As we heal our own emotional wounds and help others to heal similar
kinds of wounds, we gain access to spiritual guidance and healing energy for ourselves and others.
Chiron entered a brief transit in the sign of Pisces from April 20th
to July 20th, 2010. The day that Chiron entered Pisces was the same day of the Deepwater Horizon environmental
disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Chiron will re-enter the sign of Pisces on February 8th, 2011 and will transit
this sign until February 18, 2019. This Chiron cycle will reveal how much is still left to heal from the enormous oil spoil,
and it also calls for increased efforts in restoring ecological balance.
Chiron in Pisces urges us to create peace and to honor the sanctity of all life.
Chiron in Pisces asks: What connects you with
your higher Self? What do you need to heal emotionally and physically? What opens your heart?
Neptune in Pisces
Neptune enters Pisces (the
sign that it rules), on April 4th, 2011 and will bring Piscean energies forth
thru January 2026. A planet is said to "rule" a sign that it has similar frequency of resonance with. Whenever
a planet transits the sign it rules, it has increased power to influence creation. Neptune is the planet that represents our
spirituality and mystical aspects of being. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, the most mystical of the twelve signs.
While Neptune is in the sign of Pisces, it will bring Humanity to a greater yearning for true spirituality. The veil between
the physical and spiritual realms will become increasingly thinner and provide growing opportunities for personal experiences
of these realms. During this period, most people will have some form of mystical experiences, such as: psychic communications
with deceased relatives, increased connections with spiritual guides, déjà vu feelings, remembering past lifetimes,
pre-cognitive dreams, visions and so on.
Neptune
in Pisces has many possible levels of expression. From the lower to the higher octave frequency expressions, Neptune
(in Pisces) will bring more awareness of the energies of: confusion, disillusionment, spiritual attachments, addictions, drugs,
alcoholism, betrayal, dreams, visions, ideals, sympathy, empathy, compassion, divine compassion, divine feminine, spirituality
and spiritual guidance.
Our dreams
will become clearer, and our recall more frequent. We will receive greater clarity about emotional programs (from childhood
and previous incarnations) in our unconscious. Spiritual guidance through our dreams will be more common and more profound.
Information about past lifetimes will become more available, as accessibility to the Akashic Records increases. This new awareness
will help you understand the deeper meanings of your current life.
Spiritual guidance will become clearer. Pay attention to coincidences and synchronicities in your
life. For example, words from songs that you hear, comments from a radio disc jockey, signs on billboards and messages
on the sides of trucks, emails, etc. may well be the guidance that you are asking for.
Intuition and clairvoyant experiences will increase. More people will have
visions. Many will begin to see auras around people, animals, vegetation and so on.
The Divine Feminine energies will emerge and stimulate compassionate,
spiritual wisdom in the hearts and minds of Humanity. Movies, television and music will express more themes of compassionate
wisdom and mystical truth.
Expressions
of compassion and charity will increase as healing programs are created. Individuals, nations and religions will realize that
tolerance, compassion and charity are essential keys for healing our relations with one another. New agreements, treaties
and laws will be created that support these principals.
The power of the heart, which generates an electromagnetic force field thousands of times stronger than that
of the brain, will be recognized by many. We will realize that there are many dimensions and many universes to explore, that
our intuition is more powerful than our intellect, and that we are eternal, infinite beings.
During the last transit of Neptune through the sign of Pisces (1847-61),
women's suffrage was granted in Australia, Russian serfs were emancipated, the height of the Romantic movement in music was
expressing and the US Civil War (over the abolition of slavery) began in 1861. Also, the apparitions of The Lady (believed
to be Mother Mary) appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in the city of Lourdes, France.
New philosophies (based in compassion, charity, forgiveness, faith
and love) will bring hope and healing to the hearts of people all over the world. The power of prayer will be demonstrated
by sincere, enlightened spiritual leaders, who will lead prayer vigils with masses of people focused in simultaneous prayer
and contemplation for the higher good of all.
Saturn
in Libra
From October 29th,
2009 thru October 5th, 2012, the planet Saturn will transit the sign of Libra. This three-year cycle calls for
responsible approaches to our relationships with others. By making commitments to live and act in integrity with our higher
principles, we strengthen the foundations of trust and faith in all of our relationships.
Saturn is in its exaltation while transiting through the
sign of Libra. Libra is considered the best sign that Saturn can be in, because it is the sign that most naturally supports
the high resonance expression of Saturn, with the emphasis being on ethics, equality and justice.
On an individual level, Saturn requires that we
deeply examine all of our relationships, question the roles we are playing and fully honor (or renegotiate) our agreements.
Saturn demands that we let go of playing the victim or dominator and work towards win-win solutions in every relationship.
While in this exalted position,
Saturn supports teamwork, reconciliation and equal rights legislation. These are the foundations on which we can support peace
in our world.
On a personal level,
Saturn in Libra asks: What is out of balance in your life? Where do you need to reclaim your authority? Where do you need
to draw the line?
BLESSED
CELESTIAL ALIGNMENTS
There
are three uplifting, beneficial planetary alignments that will support the well-being of everyone. If we consciously take
actions during these cycles, our success is supported by the cosmos.
Jupiter Conjunct Uranus: April 25, 2010 thru
February 15, 2011 in the signs of Pisces and Aries. This alignment catalyzes quantum
leaps in consciousness, breakthroughs in science, metaphysics, spiritual awareness and foreign relations. Intuitive
knowledge will be downloaded into the Collective Consciousness (for those who are receptive) that will inspire solutions to
the problems facing Humanity. Extra-terrestrial information that supports Humanity's development will be communicated. Divine
inspirations will come to those who are willing to think out of the box. This cycle supports workshops, seminars, travel and
foreign cultural experiences.
A greater
sense of our oneness will expand and people will begin to awaken their hearts and minds to the love that is within each of
us. Enlightened masters will come forth publically and share uplifting messages of higher Truth and good news for Humanity.
These teachers will inspire large numbers of people to liberate themselves from fear and find inner peace.
On a personal level, you may feel an urgency to
break free of all restrictions to your freedom, and begin a new direction in your life. Be all that you are and realize your
unique potential. Follow your inspirations and honor your unique qualities and talents.
Jupiter Trines Pluto, June
8th 2011 thru April 10th 2012: This alignment
brings expanded spiritual awareness and miracles for those who are spiritually focused. Profound and transformative workshops,
seminars, vision quests and journeys to sacred places are enhanced and blessed. When gatherings of two or more people
join to consciously express a higher love, the Universe will respond by multiplying the full potential of spiritual power,
abundance, prosperity and miracles.
Innovations
with finances and resources could improve the overall well-being of the financial situations in the world. Intercontinental
relations may be improved through innovative, cooperative, idealistic and spiritual actions.
Saturn Trines Neptune from
October 30th 2011 thru September 24th 2013.
This cycle supports the development of and commitments to more idealistic and compassionate policies and practices by governments,
corporations, businesses and institutions. Practical applications to mystical teachings are supported by this cycle.
Religious organizations may expand their teachings to include the mystical teachings.
The Divine Feminine teachings will gain more support and respect from authorities
within religious organizations. The wisdom of compassionate expressions and the roles of women in history will gain recognition,
credence and respect in the world.
Uranus
in Aries
From March 11th
2011 thru March 5, 2019 Uranus will transit through the sign of Aries. This stimulates major shifts in the Collective Consciousness
of Humanity. Uranus, which represents the Collective Consciousness, has been transiting through the sign of Pisces since March
2003. During the past eight years, the majority of the human population has been living in a kind of functional coma state.
Most people have been following the visions and programs that their charismatic leaders have dictated for them. Many of these
leaders do not have the highest good of the people in their hearts, and have used fear and deception through propaganda to
control and manipulate the masses.
Uranus
in Aries will awaken greater passions for freedom and liberation from all bondages. This will stimulate revolutionary movements
towards greater freedom and individual rights. People will demand greater respect. There will be insurgencies against authority
and possibly civil wars.
Pluto
in Capricorn
The planet
Pluto transits the sign of Capricorn for the fourth year of a 17-year cycle, indicating more profound purging, breaking down
and transmuting of all structures that are unlike Divine Love. This must occur so that Love can infiltrate all of creation
and bring forth a rebirth of consciousness to a higher vibration.
During the years that Pluto last transited Capricorn, from 1762 - 1777, new concepts of government
were born, including the American Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Natal Chart of the United States has Pluto in the
sign of Capricorn. Therefore, the transit of Pluto in this sign supports the purging of energies that are out of harmony with
the higher principles and intentions of the founding fathers of this country. This cycle catalyzes the transmutations of those
qualities of all governments that are not in the best interest of Humanity and are out of harmony with Divine Love.
It also supports the birth of a world government, based on the best interests of Humanity.
The Eclipses
Every six months, the Sun, Moon and Earth line up perfectly to reboot the Collective
Consciousness. Eclipses represent special opportunities to break old patterns and make major changes in our lives. They occur
close to the same degree in 19-year cycles. Issues that were important 19 years ago will come up for completion or for advancement
to the next level.
Solar
Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons. They imprint a new set of energies into the Collective Consciousness
that will be experienced for eternity. These energies become apparent during the follow six months following the initial imprint.
Lunar Eclipses
are extra-potent Full Moons that expose unconscious aspects of the human psyche, bringing feelings and fears closer to the
surface, making it clearer what is motivating or blocking us. Eclipses activate the archetypal energies of the signs in which
they occur. The Houses of your Natal Chart, where the Sun and Moon are at the time of an eclipse, show what area of your
life is being activated. Also, any Planets (in your Natal Chart) that are located within 5 degrees of the transiting
Sun or Moon will be activated.
There
will be Six Eclipses in 2011
January
4th Solar Eclipse at 14 degrees in the sign of Capricorn. Jupiter and Uranus are Conjunct (27 degrees
in the sign of Pisces). This stimulates Divine inspiration and activates our connection to the Galactic Center. We are likely
to experience significant UFO and extra-terrestrial influences in 2011. (See more info on this eclipse below.)
June 1st Solar Eclipse
at 11 degrees in the sign of Gemini. Tools for mind mastery become available.
June 15th Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 degrees in the sign of Sagittarius/Gemini.
Activates our connection to the Galactic Center.
July 1st Solar Eclipse at 9 degrees in the sign of Cancer.
A Cardinal Grand Cross is created by the Sun/Moon Opposition Pluto Square to Saturn and Uranus. This alignment presents
a powerful opportunity for personal mastery.
November
24th Solar Eclipse at 3 degrees in the sign of Sagittarius. Occurs at a SuperMoon
(i.e. when the Moon is in closest proximity to Earth ["perigee"] in its orbit at the time of a New Moon
or Full Moon), catalyzing a stronger effect. Mercury turns Retrograde that same day at 20 degrees Sagittarius.
December 10th Total Lunar
Eclipse at 18 degrees in the sign of Gemini/Sagittarius. Uranus turns direct (at 1 degree Aries).
Full Moons at 29 degrees
The 30 degrees of each sign represent specific frequencies
of expression and development. Planets in the earliest degrees stimulate our courage and initiative for new beginnings. Planets
in the 29th degree stimulate us to develop wisdom, compassion and mastery.
The first three Full Moons of 2011 occur at the 29th degree of three
signs, with the Sun expressing in the last three signs of the zodiac (29 degrees in the sign of Capricorn on January 19th,
29 degrees in the sign of Aquarius on February 18th, and 29 degrees in the sign of Pisces on March 19th).
These double expressions of Sun and Moon in the last degrees with the Sun in the last three signs signifies a year of significant
transitions and opportunities for personal mastery.
CONCLUSION
Significant
astrological alignments indicate that 2011 is a year of strong contrasts. Contrasts are a blessing, as they help us
become more focused in our thoughts, words and deeds. Be aware of where you are putting your focus of attention at all
times, and remember that you cannot focus upon unwanted and receive wanted. Where you place your focus
of attention is a moment by moment choice that only you can make.
Law of Attraction states: "That which is like unto itself is drawn."
Vibrations are always matched. So, as you experience the contrast which inspires the new desire, this new desire, whether
it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It is
the basis of our Universe. When it is asked, it is always given. Humans think they are asking with their words, or even with
their action, and sometimes you are, but the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding
to your vibrational calling." (Abraham-Hicks)
What will happen for you in 2011? The choice is yours.
