WORLD PREDICTIONS FOR 2010(Posted December 8, 2009)It is difficult to know exactly when some patterns will manifest in the physical world, or whether the events will have less or more impact in terms of what was sensed beforehand. I tend to be uncannily accurate sometimes, and at other times years off, with no way of knowing either way at the time a pattern is picked up. But my spirit guides tend to be very accurate, regardless. Sometimes I almost don’t write things down. And then, when I do, they do tend to happen. Sometimes it amazes even me after all these years. I wait for the outcomes of these predictions the same as you!!! There is also the skeptic in my nature, mostly subdued!  The TOTAL ECLIPSE of the MOON on December 31, 2009, affects the NORTH and SOUTH AMERICAN continents, indicating possible VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS and EARTHQUAKES during the forthcoming year—one side of the RING OF FIRE (the effects from an eclipse last for 6 months). This involves the continuing earthquakes in CHILE.

Our planet and our solar system is moving from the constellation of PISCES into the constellation of AQUARIUS. The Earth constantly passes from one astrological age into another. It is a time of dramatic change, but hardly the end of planetary life. An age is around 2,200 years. The PISCES AGE involved sea travel, the exploration of the world by water, and the discovery of other continents and races, with Jesus as one of its chief avatars or teachers. Christianity adopted the fish of Pisces as its secret symbol. The beginning of the AQUARIUS AGE commenced with air travel and all of the electronic advancement of recent years which includes computers and the vast World Wide Web of the Internet that connects all nations and people around the globe into one human family. It takes about 200 years for the Age to change. We are in the midst of that change and will be for many years to come! CELEBRATE THE AGE OF AQUARIUS by expressing your humanity and compassion.  Planet Earth is coming to the end of a Great Cycle on December, 21, 2012, which marks the beginning of a new cycle of consciousness and awareness on the entire planet. Between now and then, there could well be considerable upheaval on many levels involving the world economy, governments, corporations, earth changes, wars, and turmoil in general. Perhaps we are living out the Chinese curse that involves “living in interesting times?” It actually is a very exciting time to be alive on Earth. This is a time to learn a great deal and to truly evolve in a significant manner. Please pay attention to your intuition at all times, and I’m sure that you will be safe and protected from harm.2011 World PredictionsAndromeda Galaxy
