Developments and Predictions 2009

The nighttime of December 9, 2008, here in Santa Fe, NM, Jose' and Lena Stevens provided a talk on the prominent traits they foresee for 2009. As they spoke, i was struck by means of how vividly their contemplative insights matched the alerts broadcast via the predominant planetary styles that characterize the coming years: the latest access of Pluto into the sign of Capricorn till the year 2024, and the continuing, dynamic opposition of Saturn and Uranus for next two years.

really all professional astrologers admire the primary symbolism of these archetypal planetary movements and the profound death-rebirth, and restructuring strategies that they bring in for enterprise, finance, government, and the overall reputation quo of personal, family, community, countrywide, and global structures. The topics Jose' and Lena Stevens articulated in their talk are tremendously pondered within the sky above.

The subject matters are also embodied inside the numbers. Over the route of the nighttime on the traits communicate, I had a danger to visit briefly with Deirdre Morgan, the gifted numerologist at Santa Fe Soul. simply seeing Deirdre spontaneously stimulated me to technique a basic numerological equation: The numbers of the year 2009 upload as much as an 11 - a grasp wide variety 12 months.

grasp Numbers (eleven, 22, 33, etc.) are in particular vibrant and excessive. when a grasp variety characterizes a time period, it's understood that the overall energy styles of that length call for extra of people, at the same time as additionally representing the capacity to provide extra in go back. I asked Deirdre about that. "sure," she showed. The numerological vibration of 2009 is a reflect, or equivalent, of what Jose and Lena grasped contemplatively, and what astrologers regard because the primary vibrational signature symbolized via the Saturn-Uranus opposition (2008-2010). As above, so underneath on our Earth: the opposition indicators forceful encounters with reality and unavoidable demands; it also crackles with electric opportunities to go forward, developing new methods to live, to arrange and to govern ourselves.

Calm and down to earth, sober in preference to sensational, Jose' and Lena Stevens shared the stage for about  hours. As they spoke about 2009 they detailed and synthesized the insights they had gleaned from meditations and ceremonies they undertook per week before their public presentation.

large shift. massive adjustments. No street map. however there are paths. that is what they stated. They located North American subculture and ways of life could experience excessive strain inside the yr ahead, possibly greater stress than the us of a has ever been via, citing the american Revolution, the Civil war and the fantastic melancholy. "We should exchange," they stated. "every body is aware of it, but no person but knows what's going to update it."

Jose' and Lena Stevens stated that, as they understand it, a healthful purpose to embrace for the yr beforehand is reputation -- recognition of fundamental modifications and new conditions. we're nicely underway with an unavoidable technique of re-defining our protection, prosperity, consumption, power, and additionally corporate identification and function within the global. this is reality, and there is value in unexpectedly and gracefully accepting it. Staying stuck in wishing that things could not change, being stubborn and resisting trade, blaming others and refusing to forgive, could be problematic stances that characteristic as barriers to optimal version.

They stated that an powerful manner to paintings toward the aim of popularity inside the 12 months beforehand, is thru observation. while there can be no street map for the changes, a mode of observation might tend to restrain impulsive or panicky behavior. by using gazing what is happening, after which responding cautiously and pragmatically to new situations, what needs to be completed receives finished.

additionally they said they foresaw a markedly emotional year, a human intensity that could be mirrored in large earth alternate and climate events, with a important topic of water (an excessive amount of water as within the case of heavy rains and floods, too little water as inside the case of shortages or drought, or ice shifts as inside the case of Earth's Poles).

whilst everybody already acknowledges the profound worldwide and countrywide shifts in wellknown, Jose' and Lena said we have not seen something yet. much greater is to come back. "This isn't an ordinary recession," they commented. "it will probable constitute the most stress the usa has ever been thru." They suggested listeners to avoid latching directly to that nugget of prophecy, and to permit it devour into their souls thru worry, for the yr ahead also brings outstanding possibility. They said they saw that in 2009 we attain a tipping factor for religious awakening and for dynamic, wonderful sustainable tasks. essential mass coming near.

They posed a beneficial, guiding query. If large modifications are coming about, then how do we - as people, communities, groups, and nations -- harness the energy and electricity of the changes to create a sustainable, just, and prosperous lifestyles?

The very next night time I joined Arielle Guttman and Leslie Nathanson of the Sophia middle of Santa Fe on level at body Café, in which we presented our everyday celebrity*talk. whilst Arielle took her flip on the microphone, she characterized the 12 months in advance and the Saturn-Uranus opposition (2008-20100 in conventional mythological terms as the 'conflict of the Titans with Olympus'- an epic come across that marked an in advance Earth-shaking turn of the a while.

Saturn in opposition to Uranus unfolds 5 times, marking a span of time whilst the forces of alternate and revolution directly confront forces representing the repute quo. Uranus mandates exchange and innovation. Saturn has a tendency to resist it. when these planetary Titans are in opposition, the conflict is on.

In celestial collaboration with the long sojourn of Pluto thru Capricorn (2008-2024), the Saturn-Uranus competition symbolizes a foundational shift in recognition over the globe, evolving most folks inexorably from ideological debates and volatile, unsustainable economic behaviors, into a time characterized via an unavoidable want to respond to Earthly realities via pragmatism, restraint, and area. the upcoming questions revolve not round whose God, cosmology, or philosophy is right, however as an alternative what works? What puts footwear to your ft, a coat in your again, and a glass of smooth water to your table?

while my flip to speak came, I stated a dozen probably matters for 2009, but spoke most passionately approximately our food and farms. those subjects, I experience, turns into of imperative importance in the years beforehand. it is not just the massive planets visiting thru the Earth signs of Virgo and Capricorn that brought me to this attention, however also my lifelong, expert hobby in matters agrarian: our land and our meals.

What i've come to be acutely aware of through discovering and writing, in addition to via noting the applicable planetary patterns, is that our farms and meals are in the ongoing thrall of a blitzkrieg of mutations, a sample of exchange in all likelihood to accelerate quickly.

because agrarian topics are foundational, they impact everything else in our world. impending subjects of finance, delivery, petrochemical deliver, climate stability, food availability and human fitness, necessitate -- right now -- that households, neighborhoods, municipalities, and international locations take a clean, visionary observe matters agrarian, and have interaction in fast, sustainable movement.

we've got started out a transition the likes of which few people are organized for, but to which we all can reply with a knowledge a good way to reverberate into the destiny to serve as a minimum the next seven generations of our kids. There are a host of fantastic steps that households, groups, farmers, and businesses are taking, and may take extra rapidly and vigorously to set up a healthful and enduring foundation for our land, our farms, and our food. those tremendous steps and fashions are what i've endeavored to illuminate with the new e-book.

instant, wide-ranging alternate is a theme I pay attention once I listen to the call of the land. This name is obvious also inside the quiet of mystic contemplation as Jose and Lena Stevens expressed, as inside the regular simplicity of the numbers, and as in the timeless, sparkling beauty of the celebrities and planets. From the transformative turbulence that 2009 promises, opportunities to interact the destiny with wisdom, can and will emerge. these are the traits unfolding.
