WORLD PREDICTIONS FOR 2011(Posted December 5, 2010)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 to know 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 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 LUNAR ECLIPSE of December 21 affects EASTERN ASIA, AUSTRALIA, NORTHWESTERN EUROPE, and the NORTH and SOUTH AMERICAN CONTINENTS. Expect general upheaval, earthquakes, major volcanic eruptions, severe weather, flooding, and political unrest for the next 5 months.
