WORLD PREDICTIONS FOR 2013It 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 I’m years off, with no way to know at the time when a pattern is picked up. But my spirit guides tend to be highly accurate, regardless. Sometimes even I tend to be  amazed when my predictions come true! This year many of last year’s predictions will continue to be significant! It is easier to see events than exactly when they will transpire. The Illusion of Time!(posted December 18, 2012)In many respects the predictions of 2011 and 2012 still hold sway. The continuing planetary aspects are creating significant CHANGES on many different levels in the World of Name and Form.
