2010 Turbulence and Uncertainty – a Time for Opportunity

If you feel restless and anxious, like the world is spinning out of control and perhaps your life feels it is doing the same, know that there is a valid reason for those feelings. Turn on any news program and you’ll see unrest, violence, confusion and great fear world wide, with a continual surgence of natural disasters, economic problems, and a host of rather devastating situations.

We are fast approaching a major shift in our country and lives, and there is a very scientific reason for this shift. Our solar system is constantly moving and shifting, and as it does there are often times when our lives feel turbulent. Now is such a time. There is internal unrest with a sense of a shifting foundation.

It’s hard to imagine that planets which are light years away from us can affect us here on earth. Yet, the magnetic fields of the planets do affect our lives. They affect us on a personal level as well as on a global level. Beginning May 27, Uranus entered Aries for the first time in 84 years, and will stay there until mid-August, returning again next spring for 6 more years.  On June 6^th, Jupiter also enters 0 degrees Aries, so that Uranus and Jupiter will be united in 0 degrees of Aries.  We have not seen this union of Uranus and Jupiter in well over 200 years – actually not since the time of the Revolutionary War. This summer, we will herald the beginning of an astrological event known as a Cardinal Grand Cross, around June 26, in which multiple planets will align in the shape of a cross.  This major aspect will strongly affect the birth charts for both the United States and the Federal Reserve.

A solar eclipse will take place on July 11^th.  Using the U.S. birth chart with Sagittarius rising, we could expect to see the U.S. economy dominating the news; there may also be increased earthquake activity.  July 29^th- 30^th, will present an opportunity for explosive tension as planets align near or on the four 0 degrees. Deep relationship issues may erupt both personally and globally; more volcanoes may erupt.  People may experience impulsiveness and explosiveness with poor judgment resulting in severe and immediate consequences.  New leadership may emerge and therefore higher levels of consciousness will be easier to achieve.  Signs will become evident of a new world to come with things changing at a moment’s notice! There will be opportunities for growth on all levels – creativity, patience, resilience and resourcefulness.  Individuals may feel as if they’ve been stripped down to a place in which all that is left is what is most important to them.

Astrologers have been watching the approach of this phenomenon for several years. No one knows for sure how these energies will play out, but these events could possibly be beyond anyone’s current imaginings.  It is not something to fear, but rather to be aware of and thus prepared to experience; it’s the unknown that creates so much fear within us. Many say this is the low point, the final deflation of the bubble that has been losing air for the last few years. Although a low point will occur the end of July, the country and world will experience low points for some time to come.

Look back over your life and you’ll notice that even though many problems and unpleasant situations arose in your life, you made it through. After all, you’re reading this right now to prove that! So, once again, no matter what happens over the next months, there is the probability you’ll make it through whatever comes your way. Most of the time, when things feel as if they’re turned upside down, we get stronger and show our resilience, thus becoming an amazing victor.

I believe that whenever we experience something devastating or problematic in our life, we have just received an awesome opportunity. When times are tough it is time to tap into our resourcefulness. Maybe it means re-grouping and redoing before moving forward again, or perhaps it means moving in a new direction entirely since the old way isn’t working any longer. Anyone who has ever become successful will probably share a time when they seemingly failed, at least to the world. It is the very “failure”, or lessons learned, that helped them create their present success.

So we are fast approaching the age of opportunities, for as we hit the ground in the next few months, we have a choice to make. Are we going to hang out with fear and become angry, afraid, disillusioned and devastated, or will we rise up and decide to move forward with vigor and determination, and create a better life and world? It’s always about choice and how you respond to the situation at hand. Are you committed to life and creating it as you want it to be, knowing you can overcome whatever appears for you, or do you find yourself side-tracked when a pebble causes you to stumble, angry and whining because you dislike your skinned up knees?

Our world consists of duality. If something goes down, something else goes up. Whenever there is darkness, somewhere else there is light. After a storm comes, it gives way to the beautiful sun and perhaps a magnificent rainbow. When devastation occurs, we rebuild. Life changes are the process of being thrown from your comfort zone into a temporary abyss, but climbing up and out into new territory that has the potential of being better than what went before, according to your resilience and resourcefulness.

As things drop to the deflated bottom over the next few months, no matter what shows up in your life or in the world, seize it as an opportunity to begin anew, creating your dreams from the bottom up if need be. It’s time for big changes in our lives and our world, time to remember what is really important, what really matters. Are you a lightworker who will light the way, and help those stumbling through their darkness?

We invite you to join us for 2010-2012 – The Busted Bubble on Wednesday, July 14, 7-9 pm if you’d like to understand the entire picture of what is happening and be given guidance on how to be prepared, plus learn how to grab the opportunity that lies before you.  We will take a look at how the astrological events this summer might affect our lives from here on out.
