The Year Ahead - 2011 Predictions

To do a judgment fast means that you can't place judgment on anything that others do. You simply must accept their actions as a part of their reality and Love them unconditionally.

Dear Ones, You are Beautiful. Your light radiates. When you see someone laughing, you get a glimpse into the inner beauty. You see the eyes light up, and the face changes with the smile. You feel the energy lift you up when someone is laughing. Joy is an emotion, but it is also a gift from God/Spirit/All That Is. Joy and laughter are your birthright. It is not limited to others. Remember how wonderful it feels when Joy bubbles to the surface. Start your day with laughter, even if you "fake it" for 1 minute. Then increase it to 5 minutes. Then sprinkle it throughout your day. In this way you bring Joy to your life and also to others. Now go take on the day in Joy and bless your heart.

Life as we knew it is over. For 2011, 2012 and beyond, the game has definitely changed on Earth. Economies, governments, businesses, education, social systems, the arts, sciences, technology and medicine all look radically different than they did just a few years ago.

Incoming cosmic frequencies are speeding up the changes. This has been going on for awhile now. In 2011, ramped-up evolutionary forces shift into overdrive. The reconfiguration is just beginning.

The ancient and prophetic Mayan calendar is ending. The new year begins with an eclipse series, and four outer planets change signs in 2011. The writing's on the wall. The year is all about change.

Not that recent years haven't rocked our reality. In 2011, the energies are more complex. As the evolution of consciousness accelerates on Earth, we're able to download and integrate increasingly complex cosmic programs that further speed up the process. More and more quickly, we're learning to adapt.

In 2011, we go to the next level of complexity. Planetary energies will be highly focused, yet diffuse. It's a year of doing, and being, as we remember our powers of manifestation and begin to shape the next world age.

Energetically, 2011 will feel much different from 2010. Partly this is due to cosmological phenomena predicted by Mayan, Aztec, Hindu, Egyptian and other ancient timekeeping systems. Partly it's because the large celestial bodies closest to us - the planets of our solar system - will rearrange in ways that facilitate the transmission of specific frequencies to Earth. Another reason 2011 will feel different is that we're getting better at dealing with constant change.

The context of this speeded-up evolutionary process is the great cycle shift known as the Turning of the Ages. This is a rare astrological, astronomical, cosmological, geophysical phenomenon encoded in the sacred calendars of many spiritual traditions on Earth.

Vast cosmic cycles are ending and new cycles beginning over a transition period that lasts decades, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years. We live in the twilight moment between the old and the new.

As we dive into the celestial waters of 2011, it's important to remember that any single year is part of a continuum of time that is cyclic and ever-expanding in nature. There's no specific day, month or year when everything will change.

Evolutionary energies are reaching a crescendo as we make our way through 2011, 2012 and beyond. There's a rumbling, a stirring of our very life force, as our codes are activated and the excitement builds. We breathe with anticipation and wonder where all the change is leading. Rather than watching passively, we're invited to step into our mastery, roll up our sleeves and contribute to shaping what happens next.

The year 2011 features a complex tapestry made up of multicolored strands of energies. Looking more closely, we notice how the various strands are woven together to create a captivating overall design. Here are some themes and highlights that will emerge from this magical terrain.

On December 21, the Sun, Earth and Moon aligned in a total lunar eclipse just hours before the Solstice, opening our hearts and minds to higher truth. In a rare cosmic convergence, the historic lunar event happened during the special period when our Sun aligns each year with the heart of the Milky Way, a galactic alignment related to the Mayan calendar and 2012. To experience the play of shadow and light as the Moon, Earth and Sun danced with the Galactic Core was a moment of pure grace.

The dawn of 2011 continues with a Solar Eclipse on the Capricorn New Moon on January 4. As the new year and a new lunar cycle begin, Jupiter and Uranus will be exactly conjunct in late Pisces. Together they square the Galactic Center, creating another moment of divine initiation, an awakening for humanity and the Earth.

Later in January, Jupiter enters Aries, sign of the warrior. Uranus will follow in March. We witnessed the celestial combustion when these two powerhouse planets met in early Aries during the summer months of 2010 (winter in the southern hemisphere). When Jupiter, the Guru, and Uranus, the Awakener, again journey into the cosmic fire of Aries, sparks of insight, ingenuity and innovation will fly.

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is associated with rebirth and new beginnings. In early 2011 both Jupiter and Uranus will complete their zodiacal journey in Pisces and begin a new cycle in Aries. The first degree of the first sign is an ultra-sensitive point in astrology. While Jupiter will zoom through Aries and into Taurus in 2011, Uranus moves more slowly and will hang around the initiation point for most of the year. The unpredictable nature of Uranus promises to surprise us both personally and collectively.

In February, the Universal Underworld of the Mayan Calendar begins, blowing open the walls of human perception and freeing us to experience our cosmic nature as divine co-creators. This initiation lasts through October 28, 2011, and signals another quantum acceleration of consciousness evolution.

Through the portal of 2011, an infusion of spiritual light will flood our world. Enlightenment is available to all in this unprecedented moment in cosmic time. As the kundalini fire of the cosmic serpent re-awakens on Earth, we're invited to the dance of creation.

We'll need the mass doses of Uranian inspiration and ingenuity coming our way, because we've got some enormous challenges to deal with on our home planet. Uranus is the problem-solver in astrology, the renegade, the "think-different" planet.

The Earth herself will be in the spotlight again in 2011. Earth changes will continue, with peaks likely in March through August, and again in late November through the end of the year.

Perhaps the most stirring memory of 2010, for ages to come, will be the Gulf Oil disaster, which began as the Sun crossed into Taurus, and Uranus and Jupiter hovered in late Pisces. The most important planetary configuration of 2010, the Grand Cardinal Cross, formed in the heavens two months later as oil leaked uncontrollably from the sea floor. The cross has formed several times since, and will again in 2011.

Both Chiron and Neptune will enter the water sign Pisces in 2011, and attention will again be focused on the waters of the Earth. In June, Jupiter crosses into Taurus, the first Earth sign of the zodiac, further emphasizing the importance of healing and harmonizing with our life-giving mother.

Today the oil from the spill continues to devastate sensitive ecosystems in the gulf and surrounding areas. Clean-up has barely begun. Beyond the immediate problem of the spill itself lie the long-term environmental issues that came to light as a result of the incident. We need to pay attention to the messages of this disaster. The day-to-day choices we each make have an impact on our environment and the planet's natural resources.

In 2011, Neptune will journey into the watery realms of Pisces, and Jupiter will venture into Taurus, the sign most associated with our Earth mother. Pluto continues his 16-year transit of Capricorn, reminding us, among other things, that governments, corporations, education and other institutions must be more focused on the environment.

Words and awareness are not enough. Workable solutions and widespread, radical change are needed to address the environmental crisis now, before the unthinkable happens again.

A compelling feature of the great cycle shift is the collection of energy around a central, quantum tipping point. This energy trough exists in the in-between period as one set of cosmic cycles ends and the next set begins. In the cusp or crease period between world ages, we can tap into the quantum field and make enormous changes very quickly. That time is now.

There have been other moments like this in human history, including the Industrial Revolution that mechanized our world and changed life as we knew it. That was back in 1755, which coincided with the beginning of the Planetary Underworld in Calleman's version of the Mayan calendar. The next cycle, called the Galactic Underworld, began in 1999 and ushered in the Information Age. Again, for many, life on Earth would never be the same.

In 2011, as we enter the Universal Underworld, the rate of change accelerates again, to a head-spinning once every 20 days. Changes that used to take a year during the Galactic Underworld (or 20 years during the Planetary Underworld) will take only 20 days. The new phase begins in February 2011.

Not only is the acceleration of consciousness on our side as we attempt to heal our world and change the course of history, planetary titans Uranus and Pluto will weigh in to support the revolution. Astrologically these are powerful, destructive and creative energies, and we'll need to be vigilant in focusing the waves of momentum unleashed through the ongoing square between these two planets.

Pluto in Capricorn facilitates the destruction of institutions, structures and systems, especially at a societal level, that no longer serve our rapid evolution as a species. Uranian energy strikes unexpectedly, like lightning, obliterating the old to make way for the new. Uranian energies also spark flashes of genius that can be focused toward innovative solutions.

We've experienced plenty of destructive energy in our world in recent centuries and decades. While the demolition of the old paradigm will continue in the new year, there's a shift into a more powerfully creative mode that will help us make changes and solve problems quickly, efficiently and proactively. The building of a new paradigm begins as the old falls away.

Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius, the sign of the next astrological age. While there's no single date when the 2,000-year Age of Aquarius begins, Uranus' entry into Aries is undoubtedly a significant moment in this transition.

With his layers of meaning, shrewd complexity and belligerent yet effective approach, this is a planet for our times. Uranus is the rebel with a cause. For each of us, cycles of Uranus represent our process of individuation as we seek our unique identity within a vast sea of consciousness. Collectively, Uranus guides our evolution toward a more humanitarian, egalitarian and enlightened society where the needs of the many outweigh the desires of a few.

On an individual level, the process requires that we each take responsibility for ourselves and commit to fulfilling our divine purpose at this crucial time in Earth's history.

Uranus and his sign, Aquarius, embody unity consciousness, the intrinsic oneness that underlies all of creation, as well as individuated soul expression. The Aquarian Age calls for teamwork, cooperation and collaboration that honors the unique talents and gifts of each individual.

Personal and group intentions will manifest powerfully under the planetary configurations of 2011, especially those that balance the needs of the individual with the good of the collective, and vice versa. Together, we can turn the tide and create a brighter future for all.

The truth of our being is love. As we travel the spiral, each year our hearts open more fully to this vast creative force of the cosmos. We are empowered to fulfill our destiny as souls embodied on Earth.

We can tune in as often as needed to our internal guidance system, the infinite wisdom deep in our hearts. Throughout all the changes, the acceleration and the exhilaration, the peace, the knowing, is in the center.

Access this wisdom in deep communion with the heart center of our galaxy, and the center of the local supergalactic cluster. This connection is especially strong on the Solstices and Equinoxes and during the moments when other planetary configurations line up with these points in deep space.

Astrology doesn't tell us what's going to happen. It allows us to forecast energetic conditions just as meteorologists forecast the weather. It's a heads-up that helps you to make decisions confidently, in alignment with the soul. Understanding how planetary transits and configurations relate to your personal astrology will help you align more fully with the energetic potential of 2011 and beyond.

Where do you fit in this continuously shifting planetary picture? What's your soul song? How are you contributing to individual and cultural transformation? Is your role changing?

We are once again at the dawn of another year, which is another opportunity for us to fine-tune the integration of lessons we have been learning for several decades and beyond that, multiple lifetimes. What 2011 brings is more clarity, understanding, transformation and growth as long as we approach this from the point of detachment, observation, unconditional love and acceptance. These will be our big lessons for this year because wherever we remain connected, involved, unforgiving and unable to accept and release is where we will receive more lessons that will show us how to integrate these things in our life. We can no longer pretend we don’t know what we are doing—we are entering our mastery and it is time for us to accept its responsibilities.

Will this be a challenging year? It depends on how we define the word ‘challenge.’ It will be challenging if we are afraid of what we will lose instead of viewing each loss as a release so that something else can take its place. When we set our intention for transformation everything that does not resonate with what we wish to become disconnects from us. This can be very painful emotionally but on a spiritual level, it is in alignment with what we have asked for. It is time for us to see ourselves from a whole perspective, including all of our aspects, body, mind, emotions and spirit, so that we can view each step as a process of release and replacement. Letting go of the old will be a big theme for 2011, as well being able to integrate the new.

We must become receivers in order for us to accept the benefits that are ours when we step into our mastery. This is a year for us to acknowledge our ‘great-ness’, to view ourselves as wonderful, powerful, blessed, divine and deserving of the blessings that we have been rejecting because we felt powerless and unworthy. Everything we wish for is part of our field of potential and belongs to us. The only way to receive and integrate it into our lives is to know that we deserve it.

2011 will be a year of mixed blessings for those who have not yet explored their healing potential and for others, this year will bring so much in the way of the manifestation of long held dreams and the opening of doors that have been closed. We will know who has done their healing work by what is happening in their lives. They will learn through the pain and challenges they choose. Our challenge will be to assist them without become their servant, to learn to give without becoming a martyr to someone else’s pain. We can be compassionate teachers through the example of how we allow blessings to flow to us instead of limiting our growth in the face of others’ pain.

This is a year where we will become more aware, as we began to in 2010, of how others’ hearts have been broken through their lifetimes of pain. There will be so many opportunities for people to open their hearts through compassion vortexes, new relationships, becoming powerful, understanding divinity and accepting mastery. Every painful experience is an opportunity to open ourselves to more love. Who we give to is less important than why we are giving—the question we must answer truthfully is what we want and need from others, where we are seeking love from outside ourselves instead of connecting to our inner resources of love within. Becoming the love we seek will be a global lesson, and this extends to all areas of our life.

We will see many new energy portals open and some majors ones close in the next two years. This process began in 2001. Three ancient vortexes, in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, will close by the end of this year which means that we will see more violence, bloodshed, war, natural and man-made disasters and unrest in these areas as those who wish to see them remain open resist their closure. We are each conduits of the new portals so if we focus on transformation in these areas, we will assist in bringing in the new energies that will allow these vortexes, which bring in very destructive energies, to finally be closed.

We are afraid of earth changes because they can bring so much trauma and disruption to our lives. In 2011 we will not see as many earth changes, such as storms, earthquakes, volcanoes or other things we call ‘disasters’ as we did in 2010, but two of them may be more violent or destructive than those we have experienced before. The earth is also going through its own ascension and in 2011 it will be ‘cleaning house’ and reminding us that we are partners with the earth and stewards of her resources. The earth is a sentient being, just like everything else on the planet and we need to be reminded of this from time to time. When we send love and appreciation to the earth, we empower it in its ascension journey. That said, this year will bring cleansing and many energetic changes to parts of the earth, especially those where vortexes are closing.

Ascension is not a mystical event that will happen in 2012 and beyond, it is happening right now. Every day is another day in our ascension journey and each moment holds the blessings of ascending into our divinity, experiencing its joy and learning to be in joy. When our focus is on the present moment, we are aware of how we are experiencing our ascension. We cannot create the future if we cannot leave the past behind us and in 2011 we will have many chances and choices to release the past. Can we let go of disappointments and what we think we have missed and be powerfully in the present? It is something we must learn because the only place where we have any power is in the present.

It has been so long since many of us have had a romantic relationship that we are beginning to wonder whether that will ever happen. 2011 will open that door but with a twist. There will be choices to make and it is very important to have an intention for relationship. Are you going to be the healer or are you willing to be with someone who does not need your healing? Are you open to receiving the love that you are so prepared to give to someone? Even though you may not see how someone will ever enter your life, be prepared by knowing what you want and setting your intention for it because it will happen when you least expect it. By the end of the year and even before the end of August, many new relationships, with long term potential, will be created.

These are periods when waves of energy are sent to the earth which are very different from those we are familiar with. These often clash with our own energetic vibrations and they can make us very uncomfortable and even physically ill. We call these ascension symptoms and they are part of our ascension journey, for we need to bring new energy to the earth as part of our mission of creating ‘heaven on earth’. With these power periods we may see earth changes, strong storms, floods, earthquakes or unusual weather. In our own lives we can experiences sudden endings, disruptions, changes of heart or mind or even physical illness.

January 15 to 20th: During this time we will experience a tsunami-like energy download that will bring new realizations and understandings, like an ‘aha’ moment. For some this will be an immediate shift into the 5th dimension, which will take place on an emotional and mind level. Others may decide to complete their time here and cross over.

March: The spring equinox will bring a more peaceful energy as we begin to experience new potentials for our reality. There will be many experiences of instant manifestation as we have an opportunity to experience how powerfully we move energy. Be careful of your words and thoughts at this time.

June through August: These three power periods are grouped together because they will be a progressive flow of energy downloads, transformation, physical, and emotional and mental upheaval which are stepping stones into new energies and a process of growth where each step forward occurs when we are willing to let go of the one before. Many people will experience job loss, the end of relationships, geographic moves and powerful changes in thinking in this time.

October: This is a 2012 choice point for the earth and its people. ”Where do we want to go from here” will be what we are asked to answer. Are we willing to hold the energy for transformation while remaining detached from what we think should be happening? During this period we will be challenged to be co-creators and stay focused on our vision for heaven on earth, no matter what appears to be happening in the world.

November 21 to 30: This is the last power period of 2011 and the one which will seem deceptively easy but in reality, what we will experience is the flow of the energy and how easy it really is. We will process all we have experienced in the year and understand how divine order works. This period is key to establishing the energies of 2012, and what happens in this period will be another deciding point for many people. We will hear of many deaths as there will be many who decide their time here is finished. There will also be an unusual number of births, dramatic life changes and sudden changes in governments, politics and economic conditions.

A key theme this year is to expect the most wonderful, best outcomes for yourself, to move from a state of hopefulness to a state of knowing, where you know that what you want will manifest, or you will receive something even better. Be sure to set your intention with ‘this or something better’ so you can be prepared for all outcomes. And be ready to receive, for this the other half of manifestation which we often forget. We must learn to ask for what we want and then be in a state of receiving, which allows manifestation to happen. So ask and then know that this, or something better, will come to you.

Archangel Uriel calls 2011 a year for us to acknowledge our greatness and to become ‘great-ful,’ not in a sense of feeling better than anyone else (we’re all connected so that is not possible), but to acknowledge ourselves and who we are in the world. We are divine beings, no less than anything else in the Universe. We are children of God and of the Light, powerful beyond our human comprehension and co-creators of our reality as well as that of the world and the universes beyond it. How we express that greatness in our lives is entirely up to us. We have legions of angels to support us but they cannot help us unless we ask and are unable to give us more than we are willing to accept and receive. When we remember that we are powerful and in control of every aspect of our reality, within and without, we become masters and step into the miracle vibration.

Beloved one, the radiance of the Christ is within you, and how you find it is by relaxing into it; not striving to find it; not reading, studying, searching, seeking, but claiming; and relaxing into it; and allowing the radiance then to come forth from that place of peace, that peace of relaxation, that place of the deep breath that allows the relaxation. It is as simple as that.

The gears of your mind are shifting, and that is a good thing. Life as you know it is shifting. It may feel to you that the ground is being removed from under you. The fact is that rising is not always comfortable. Getting up does not have to be comfortable. Comfort is not the determinant of your life on Earth. Change is!

You object to change. You didn’t know life would be like this. You wanted a garden party, and, instead, you find yourself on shifting sand and have to let go of your grip on life as you have perceived it to be. Life is coming out of itself. It is shedding its skin, as it were, and a new world is rising like a lotus flower. And you are shedding your skin and becoming a softer newer you. You are taking off to a higher plane. You are a shifted being.

In order to rise, you have to let go. You have to let yourself go. You have to stop holding on. You have to let go of the banisters and railings that you have been holding on to for dear life. Now, for the sake of dear life, you let go. No longer do you keep yourself back. Now you fly free.

Flying may seem disconcerting until you get used to it. You can’t fly and stay attached to what held you in place before. You are letting go of the bonds that held you. You can’t be bound and boundless at the same time. Let go of the walls that have hemmed you in. No need to clutch to mere wood or ice. In any case, they are not there for you any longer. You are making a clean break with the past.

You have always glimpsed the horizon in the past. Now you are at the horizon. You are flying higher, and you can almost peek over the horizon to see the grandeur there. Don’t be afraid or hesitant about the sights before you. You won’t fall. Once you have risen, you have risen. There is no going back.

And if you have not yet risen, you still can’t stay where you are. Say bye-bye to the past and welcome the new. You are new. Welcome yourself to advancement. You are graduating. Once out of high school, you’re not in high school any longer. You longed for graduation. Yet, now, for a while, you feel unsettled. What is life going to be like now? You simply have to find out.

So what if your legs are shaky. You are vibrating to a different tune. You will find your sea legs. And on the ocean wide you will sail. You will learn the language of the sea, and you will become proficient at it. Soon enough, sailing will feel natural. It will feel right.
