2010

America, if you don't have the money, you cannot spend, you cannot invest, you cannot take risks. It is simple economics. Yet, we have a national habit toward overspending. So, it seems "okay", BUT IT IS NOT! We enter a year of chilling realities to our broken economy. No matter how hard leaders try and spin it, it will stare us nakedly in the face. How can we, as a people, invest in a bill for national health care when WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY! How can we go to another war when WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY! How can anyone lead a nation when WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY?

We enter astrological aspects that were around for The Great Depression of the late 1920's; Noah's Ark which was over 5000 years ago; The World Trade Center bombings of 1993 and 2001 by bin Laden and The Boston Tea Party of 1773. These are wildly historical times from a personal to a global level. Let's begin.

Vacation Dates

I want to give as much good news first, I have a few good vacation dates. Astrologer's tend to be rather ghoulish in their forecasts, so I am trying to make a point to tell you about some nicer time frames this year that would make good vacation dates; where rest, relaxation and romance are all possible outcomes. Then, on to the rest of the news ahead of the time.. of course!

One time frame is Feb. 13-30, 2010; another is May 22- 29, 2010. I think you could tie a wedding into either of these time frames, but you should check my calendar, Dates to Buy Sell and Sign for 2010, for the best times. Basically, after those dates I would only plan a vacation that included caution, risk assessment and a roller coaster ride. You can give a day on either side.

**Another station break! I have just spent 2 weeks delineated each day of 2010. My calendar will be coming out shortly. Don't miss it. It is fantastic for sitting down at the beginning of the year with your dream board in hand. Read through the months looking for a good time to initiate YOUR plans. Then, write the dates in your working calendar to remind you to stick to your plans. #610-272-4014. $12.99 which includes shipping and handling. This makes a great Christmas gift just in time for the New Year.

**And now, we return to the yearly forecast from An Astrologer's Perspective!**

The idea of rest and relaxation mid-July through August is a myth. Now, if you are into stressful vacations that are challenging and full of surprises then, by all means. If you like roller coaster rides, a safari's in the jungle, chasing a storm, skydiving or bungee jumping then this summer is for YOU!

I just don't see that calm, lazy, hazy summer vacation. Storm chasers will be busy because this year there should be some awesome displays from Mother Nature. Of course there will be good moments in the spring that pleasantly surprise us all. For example, Feb. 14 2010. Now, this is a sweeties day in deed! Plan this one out with all the themes of Valentines Day. Situations are more than likely to go your way. :-)

Art and Fashion

Sparsely wild is in. Art and fashion will echo the times doing more with less. There are always many creative and artistic dates, this year is no different. Sex and romance sells. Some celebrities are going to stand out in the fall; perhaps they are protesting certain issues. Shockingly simple and sparsely wild may be the artists and celebrity pallet; particularly late in the year.

An older celeb looks prominent, e.g., David Letterman.

The REAL Market Bottom

Here it is 2009, I have been listening to Fox, MSNBC and CNN to all their 'experts' for more than a year telling us the worst is over and the "recession" is receding. Hello!? Knock, knock. The astrological indicators that were in place for the Great Depression have not pulled into the harbor yet. Ahhh! Why don't they ask a professional financial astrologer? Why do we NOT have a voice? We always get the bad rap. When are we going to be respected? Meanwhile, on the false pretense that it is over the market is rallying. Oh joy.

July 2010 will begin the test. By the end of the summer months, we will know more. I believe that the Federal Reserve does have a plan just in case, even they can fail. The astrological data supports a plan to pump money into the system to avoid a total collapse. If the stock market did not have all this baggage from the past it would be ready to go. It's just against a very bad backdrop. Again, tomorrow always comes and we are all capable of handling it.

Leadership takes a cautious stance on risky businesses. By Fall the Federal Reserve seems to be an important focal point. It doesn't look good. Ben Bernanke is between a rock and a hard place. Their eyes on the stock market; perhaps a small rally by year end.

I suggest you take your profits before summer months set in and then save some to reinvest on the low. While your at it, you may want to tuck some money away for that rainy day.

War on The Hill

When is there NOT a war on The HIll? Yet, this summer simple situations have the potential for getting blown beyond proportion. I am quite sure that everyone will have some drama to talk about. Republicans are looking for a come back, they may have it by year end.

Obama does not have the power that Bush did. Boundaries are going to be crossed, crossed to the point that we are forced to step back and find a more reputable means of communication. Situations are going to escalate during Christmas time and into New Years 2010. Again in the spring, and yet again in the summer. It just does not stop; it's a continuos slam and covert.

Leadership is changing; it is quite likely that Republicans and the Senate have more say by the end of 2010, moving into 2011. There will be surprises in July that change the world's current course. After the summer of 2010, everything will change; our accustomed ways of thinking, our habits and how we live our lives. Money talks. We will have to do with less and make it go further.

The first half of 2010, Obama and other key leaders will gain the support of the people by 'hitting the campaign trail' to sell their plans. There will likely be media coverage on important issues such as health care, jobs, a growing Afghan war, and pushing out their agendas.

It just looks like leaders will take charge the first half of the year.It is a this time that Obama speaks the voice of the people and then something happens that shocks the nation over the summer; the last week of July and first weeks in August. Executives leadership goes covert around the total eclipse July 11, 2010 in order to de-escalate scenarios. A very good idea, since the time frame supports assassinations and hostage situations and takeovers.

Obama and leaders seem to echo the majority of the people for change in the spring of 2010, but their exists small special interest groups at the top that sway history.

Some time in the spring, a form of the health care bill is likely to go through with other votes in Congress.

Current leaders go behind-closed-doors, hide and/or are unaware of the true dangers. Like, taking a vacation is not what it used to be for those on Capitol Hill. It is not a time to be cocky. It's serious with behind the scenes control from other parties. This is also a political shifting point for those out of power begin to gain a foothold.

I would anticipate some hidden price setting that kills democracy over the summer. Are banks, corporations and government leaders twisting numbers, again?. The wealth of the nations is in the dark. Media is even in the dark to tell us the full story right away. A weak cabinet, inflation, taxation, "casualties" of war, and an OUT OF CONTROL DEBT loom spring into summer. An end phase for some leaders this quarter. Leadership is weakened and vulnerable.

In the fall, Senate and Republican leaders are highlighted. Hillary does not have an easy job, yet she is passionate about what she does this fall. Can she work both sides? She is likely to be a bigger player than what she lets on (typical of a Scorpio).

Media Wars

What happened to fair and unbiased reporting? I feel like some of these major news shows are there to push their agendas, not the news. It is like the tail wagging the dog. For example, I used to really respect Glen Beck for his knowledge and the energy he put into researching what he would say on his show. Then, when Obama was elected and made the comment, indirectly, that Fox News was the only station attacking him, Beck began to show a bitter and resentful side with biting remarks along with a few other news "shows".

Anyway, I felt like I had to put my umbrella up to avoid being pissed on by whatever his issues are. He continues with the same attitude months later???? Is he really getting paid for this? Who is backing him? He is trying to make mountains out of mole hills. Why is he still on the air? Is he part of this super elite conservative movement that you could count on one hand?

He is not alone, by far not the only one that has crossed the line to giving their attitude along with the news. Is it another sign of the times;shooting from the hip rather than examining motives closer? And you want to know why we are headed to more wars? Glen, just be honest, then we will understand you better. So, you hate Obama? That's not good enough to be on the air.

Another Boston Tea Party?

"Our benevolent occupation of Baghdad will be even less popular that our benevolent occupation of Boston." (Found on google and written by Thomas R. Eddler)

I found this on google while researching 2010. I really could not have said it better. Step back in history to 1767-moving toward 1776. It is the end of the French and Indian War. 1767-1773. Americans rebelled on are taxed on imports, and riots break out in the American colonies. The Colonials were 'up to the rim' in distrust and anger with Red Coats. This eventually leads to the Boston Tea Party in 1773 and then on to the American Revolution. A movement that changed history forever.

How will this astrological pattern that is echoing in 2010 play out in real stories yet to unfold?

There are so MANY potentials replays on this around the world and right here at home. One thing obvious in the charts, rebellion is coming.

Protests, Riots and Rebellion

Mayhem and anarchy are likely to escalate over the summer all over the world and right here at home. What the &#@, who wants to lead now? Here, in the good old USA, I anticipate that more and more people cannot pay there bills. The idea of more taxes is just screaming "OVER THE TOP". The American dream is gone. It is no longer because they won't work, it is because the can't. When they do get a job, wages and benefits do not match the quality of work and dedication to the job. How does an increase in homelessness sound?

**Okay! Station break....I was watching the evening news the other day. They featured a guy in his 30's; a white collar, educated man in his 30's who was using his first amendment right to speak his view by attending a protest. It ended up on his record, and has been under surveillance ever since. Later, he could not get a job for having stood up for his rights. I hope you are all a listening very carefully for we live in interesting times since 911. How does it feel to stand in line at the T.S.A. and take off your shoes, empty your luggage, your bottles etc.? How does it feel when you go shopping and everyone of your moves are watched on camera? How does it feel when you are tracked through the Internet, your cell phone etc.? The human spirit was not meant to take that level of scrutiny. You can create mental illness. How about the hard hours of work for little or no wages? Now, back to the news ahead of schedule....**

War in Iran and Afghanistan

Attention turns to Iran in the fall 2010. There will be a war inside Iran as we head into November and December of 2010. It could be their people speak out against the Ahatolla and/or it could be a war with Western allied forces, a.k.a., UN or NATO.

Looking down the road, leadership is likely to change in Iran as early as April of 2013. It is quite possible that this could lead to an even larger war in the coming years.

Nevertheless, the real violence and terror will be in Afghanistan for 2010. It is building now as Taliban attempt to reclaim it.

Americans are not ready to go to war as we enter 2010; neither is the rest of the world. Obama is likely to be in line with the majority of Americans. His cabinet is very drawn to the risks involved with going to war in Afghanistan.

Regardless, the war in Afghanistan is going to get kicked up over the summer. Osama bin Laden has been waiting for the war to come to him since before 911. He is about to get his wish. So, if we go there we fall into his trap, not ours. He has prepared many years for a long war even though the odds are currently stacked against him. It will be a chess game; one of the very few choices left are the choice in leaders overseas for the US. His intent so strong that he will provoke the war to come to Afghanistan; what better way to provoke that to a terror attack here in the United States?

A foreign crisis develops which sends US on attack in Afghanistan as early as spring. Most certainly a military crisis develops very quickly as we enter summer, June 21, 2010. At home health care, job losses, changing working class America. US military has managed to keep the word, "Draft". out of the news by abusing the military they have. I wonder how they will handle this developing energy. How many will go "a wall"?

Higher than Average Terror Time-Frames

Terror can be found in many different scenarios, not just Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. People can be terrorized at home by an abusive parent, or a break-in. Terror can be nature ripping the roof off your house or a mudslide that destroys your home. Assassination and hostage situations are a form of terror, too. Terror can be Uncle Sam watching your every move. It could also manifest with secrets with the Senate, Ambassadors and Entertainment industries. With this said, there are some higher than average terror-time frames for 2010 and a few days left in 2009.

I see higher than average terror- time- frame from mid- December through January. Pay close attention to winter season- December 21 through March 20, 2010. This means that the potential for that threat of bombs in backpacks can be played out. On New Years Eve there is a full moon eclipse, that is out of bound moon by declination, and perigee- closest to the Earth.

This means that hospitals, police and military activities will be active at a rate which is higher than average. It appears that secrets will be all around. The weather is usually extreme a few days before and after an eclipse. This eclipse may just express itself in a snow storm for the NE. There will be a war between those in power and those who want to have more power... specific for inside the US.

Specific dates of concern Christmas, New Year's Eve, All January with specific peaks on the 6-9++, 13++, 24++, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, Feb. 1-3,9. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 16, Mar 13-19. Colorado and New York City are highlighted. Whereas, I gave 911 a 14 or 15 on my terror scale, I would give these date between an 8-12. Eight is high. Nine-11 was off the charts. War is a "10".

Osama bin Laden

The eclipses 2010 are effecting bin Laden's chart; we are going to be hearing more on bin Laden. His confidence and strength is coming back. He is ready to speak with actions. US has the upper hand yet he is likely to take more risks. A peak date of April 7 of 2010 is given. His words again squelched as we head into May 2010. I would allow a week on either side. July into August will be a historic war in Afghanistan and here at home.

Cool Dates (w/i terror time frames)

1.1.10; 1.10.10; 01.02.2010; 02.20.10; 02.02.2010; 08.09.10; 09.01.10; 9.9.09; 9.10.10. 10.10.10; 12.11.10. Oh, and Veteran's Day this year, 2009 is 911 backwards. November 11, 09. It also falls in a higher than average terror time frame.

There is a war yet to brew right here at home within the homeland the last week in July and first two in August. Could be weather, the Republican Party throwing punches, a fire, an assassination, a hostage situation. Astrology speaks on many different levels at once. It could be all the above or just some; at least one for sure.

Crime rates are going to be up this year am concerned about the potential for terror plots being acted out toward the end of 2009 into the beginning months of 2010. I give extra attention to the Holland tunnel and the PATH in NYC and the Federal Reserve, Bernanke, as well as the President. I just want to know... Are these under construction? If they are not, they could be the targets. Then, there is Chicago; could be the gangs on the streets.

Nevertheless, terror time frames exist all winter months for 2009. Expect a repeat of the summer 2009 months when FBI uncovered Zazi's plot.

A busy year ahead for military and law enforcement to be sure.

Mexico: Control from Behind-the-Scenes along with Nature's Wrath

A pattern for Mexico reemerges from 1877-1882 where government controlled behind-the-scenes coupled with runaway inflation. , It was when Mexico's exiting President Diaz engineers the elections so that his one time general, Manuel Gonzalez, will capture presidency. Diaz continues to control the government from "behind the scenes" granting railroad and mining concessions to foreign capitalists, as well a allowing large land owners to increase their holding for more land at the expense of the poor mestizo and Indians. Eventually, his attempts to rehabilitate the currency causes inflation and he distances himself from President Gonzalez. How lovely.

So, what is going on 'behind-the-scenes' to control Mexican government? There is likely to be a repeat on some level; just different faces.

There is likely to be some serious weather to hit Mexico as well. Let's watch the weather, too.

Mayan Calendar and Nature's Wrath

We are at an end of a 5125 year cycle according to the Mayan Calendar. It will end officially in 2012. I see this as a slow change over given a decade on either side. It's a growing movement, not a day from hell. We are in it, so relax because you are already used to it.

So, this is what it is like to live in the New Age? We have been dealing with the terms such as: Age of Aquarius... The end of the Mayan Baktun 5,125 year calendar... The Polar Shift...The rebuilding of the Temple Mount... and Pluto passing through the Galactic Center. Hmmmm? Is it too coincidental that these major markers in time are but a few years apart? Have different cultures calculated a slightly different variation of a very big change of things to come that would take years? Why do we put so much emphasis on January 1, 2000 the beginning of the New Millennium? Or, December 21, 2012 as "the end" of the Mayan Baktun Calendar. Why can't it be a shift that takes a few decades to pull us toward another ...World?

**Station Break! No, Pluto didn't go away, our thoughts about it did. It still stands for death and destruction and it was demoted in a time where we have kids blowing themselves up. It is a sign of the times. And now, back to our scheduled program... AND what about the bombing on the MOON! O.M.G! Poor Moon. :-)**

One similar pattern that is developing for our world occurred around 5123 years ago, that would be around 3112BC. This is the biblical story of Noah's Ark. They have found ruins of the Ark, proving that the it did exist. Scientists have proven that the Sphinx was totally covered in water at one time. I have heard it said that the Earth has survived other advanced civilizations that have been destroyed at least three times (historychannel.com). What about that?

I would like to warn of a serious weather pattern for the Bay of Bengal where the coastal lands of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand Malaysia, and Indonesia for December 2009 to December 2010. It will be of epic proportion. I would suspect that more countries along with Australia will open their border to refugees (at least we hope they are). I see this continuing. It's more than once, it's a continuos, periodic slam. Watch the last week in July and first 3 weeks in August 2010. Then again, November into December 2010. This means more refugees, more chaos, more homeless.

We will have our own problems right here at home. Winter 2009-into spring of 2010 the US can expect difficult weather patterns to develop; particularly between longitudes 82-95 West. This would include the cities Houston, Kansas, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta etc. That corridor can expect can expect a tough season for farmers and land owners. You can follow that all the way south into Caribbean, Guyana, Surinam, Brazil and Argentina.

Summer Months pay close attention from Lisbon to Paris or 2W to 2E. London included. Last week of July, first 2 weeks in August. You can take that all the way south into Africa. Terror surprises and blasts, too. Chicago. The people will get a shock or two. This summer will give New Orleans a chance to check out there new levies. Hopefully, they work.

Conclusion

It does not matter if you are a parent, teacher, president, celebrity, corporate executive, business owner etc.; all those who lead will face some form of dissemination from those who are under them this year. That is a theme this year that can lead to some serious outcomes depending on how far the rebellion will go; a change in power, assassinations, hostage stand offs, protests, extortion plots. The drama has yet to unfold. It is revolutionary energy.

What a difficult time to be President. Obama's chart speaks of someone who CANNOT sit back and wallo is self pity, he has had to challenge the status quo his whole life. It is his karma, his legend. He is friendly, loves to socialize, a pep of confidence in his gate and takes pride in serving his country. If we do not have respect for leadership, we may escalate the drama yet to unfold over the summer to something we regret later.

This is a time in history to pull out your grown-up side. It is time to stop complaining. It is time to step up and build responsibility in your relationships and the surprises will continue to unfold. This is not a time in the history to whine. It is time to be all that you can be in a respectful, diligent light. It is time to do or be more with less. Circumstances will likely develop that requires the utmost maturity; mother nature included. This is a time in history where honor, respect and tradition are coming foreground.

This is a time of seeking out relations that echo the authority figures in everyone's life. This could mean working on your relationship with a parent, particularly your father or a boss. It is also a good year to build relationships with the elderly. There is nothing like the wisdom learned from those that have come before us.

In your own life, it is time to stand for something meaningful to you with all the attacks around you; stay true to yourself and what you stand for. If you have been held back, it is a good year to break free from the chains that bind you. It is time to test the waters and move beyond that comfort zone in order to further your life; just be practical.

This is a year for assassinations and hostage situations around the globe; the motives are many. The United States is not immune from this and either is bin Laden. Afghanistan is a focal point. The pace is going to get picked up over the spring and summer of trying to put out fires; that is meant both literally and metaphorically. There will likely be more of a sense of urgency to stand up and do something.

Seeds were planted long ago that have the global community living out the final countdown. There is little room for changing course, we are headed for a very fast pace spring into winter 2010. If I were to help the reader handle the upcoming months better I would say: 1- put a little money away for when the market hits bottom over the summer, so you can reinvest on the low. Reinvest on the upswing from a new moon to a full; 2- There is so much action-reaction and drama scenes likely to develop, try and be the one who sits back and watches to learn if you can; 3- try having patience; 4- Expect hard shifts and work loads.

And, that is a rap from An Astrologer's Perspective!
