2011 Predictions

Based Upon Numerology

2011 is a 4 Universal Year. ( 2+0+1+1=4) We have to look to the energy of the number 4 in order to understand the trend of global events in 2011.
The 4 Year is strongly associated with hard work and little freedom to pursue frivolous activities. It is a time to be practical, down to earth, follow the rules and be organized and efficient. Success can only be achieved through endurance and discipline. It is a Year that is instrumental for building a foundation for the future because the number 4 demands that we stabilize all areas of our life by working on the foundation upon which we live. On that note, the number 4 is strongly associated with Mother Earth. Financially, it can be a challenging year because you have to be careful with your money in a 4 Year, being frugal and spending it wisely
There is also a warning about stress and health with the number 4.



The mood of the world is about to take a somber note and I suspect our sense of humor will be on hiatus in 2011. It is time for the world to work on our problems in a no nonsense way.
The following are potential trends for 2011 based upon its being a 4 Universal Year and also observations on events in October.
1. Governments around the world will have to reign in their spending and you will find cuts to programs that would be considered to be expendable. It is time for our governments to be frugal. Whether it is on a federal, state or local level, budgets must be balanced and some of these budget cuts will be severe.
2. Products that are more efficient or that save money, for example fuel efficient cars, will be invented or marketed. This would be an area to invest your money. Look for start up companies of this nature. Also if you have extra money to invest, given the excellent buyers market in real estate, if you can invest in a rental property or something of that nature, this would be the best place to put your money rather than the stock market. It is not a year to take a risk.
3. More laws will be proposed and passed that on some level create limitations in our lives, perhaps even limiting our freedom. It will all about “law and order” in 2011. Our travel could be restricted in some way.
4. There will be a clash in ideologies where there is no middle ground. People will have strong opinions. This may cause more demonstrations or protests. People will become stressed and angry. Some incidents could potentially become violent.
5. Governments will either choose to or be forced (perhaps because of a natural disaster) to work on the infrastructures of their countries. Due to the fact the sun is in a solar maximum period, we face real danger with an interruption to our electricity for extended periods. There are plans in place to cut power in the event of a serious solar flare. This is based upon scientific facts and I encourage you to do your own research on the effects of this particular solar maximum period on you and your families. Be prepared.
6. People will feel the increasing costs of gas, food and necessities and have to make adjustments with their own budgets. There also could be protests over high prices. We can also expect shortages of products. You may want to stock up on basics and you might even consider it an investment as prices will continue to rise so you will be saving money in the long run by purchasing at a lower price.
7. Fashions and trends will be less colorful but more practical and there will be less emphasis on exorbitant spending and even Hollywood will tone down the usual “over the top” spending, glitz and glamour.
8. Companies who have been unethical by lying or misrepresenting their products will be exposed and held accountable. This would also include public individuals.
9. The increased trend in Earthquakes will continue in 2011. Because there was a 6.9 Earthquake in the Gulf of California in October, I have concern about that area. I also expect more tsunamis.
10. Industries that depend on a good economy such as the vacation and travel industry, restaurants, and high end commerce will continue to suffer even more in 2011. People will not be as willing to part with their hard earned dollar even if they have extra money.
11. The stock market may “flat line” in the sense that people will not be as willing to take a risk.
12. Unfortunately, job losses and unemployment will add to the financial limitations of many people in 2011. Many job losses will come from budget cuts made by the government for government funded organizations.
13. 2011 may be a difficult year for epidemics or pandemics. There is already evidence of this with cholera in Haiti, whooping cough, hand and foot disease and now news of the bird flu in China. Learn how to keep your immunity system healthy. Start taking Vitamin D and C and do some research on other options.
14. North Korea will continue to be a concern for their aggressive behavior and there will be more news which will cause alarm.
15. Weather will continue to break the records. Flooding, wind storms, tornadoes and “freak storms” will be in the news for 2011. Expect a few Nor’easters this year but generally a milder winter for the East and a difficult winter for the Midwest. I do not expect an active hurricane season in the Atlantic again in 2011.
16. Expect more and more unexplained phenomenon with the earth’s atmosphere in 2011 including meteorites, undiscovered anomalies, and strange behavior of the sun and yes, even UFOs.
17. Without question, the focus on a more spiritual approach to living will continue to grow and you can expect to see continued growth of this trend in TV, radio and all forms of media.

11/11 November 11, 2010 and November 11, 2011

The 11:11 phenomenon, where people repeatedly see this number, has been the subject of 194 million websites , countless books and even has its own page on Wikipedia. There is a great deal of speculation to it's meaning but it goes without question that the 11:11 phenomenon has our attention.

Numbers have esoteric meanings and the one science that defines those meanings is Numerology which is founded upon ancient wisdom. Being a Numerologist and having the opportunity to do thousands of Numerology readings has given me insight regarding the 11. Add to that, simple observation of events that unfold under the influence of the 11 vibration and there is a pattern which defies coincidence.
As we approach November 11, 2010 and soon to come November 11, 2011, many people will be questioning it's meaning.

The 11 is considered to be the "messenger" and it aligns it's message to a Higher Power. The message itself is meant to enlighten or awaken a person to the truth , bringing about a higher consciousness. Many people feel that upon seeing the 11:11 repetitively they have experienced a shift within regarding their spiritual beliefs.

Through the life experiences of clients who have the 11 prominently in their Numerology Charts, I can say with certainty that the 11 is a powerful vibration. People have experienced what we would categorize as being "paranormal experiences" under the influence of the 11. These can come in the form of dreams, visions, prophetic information, psychic insight, astral travel, deja vu and any form of communication with spirit you can imagine.
Most of these same clients have also experienced a life altering experience which has prompted them to search for deeper meaning to their lives and at some point, they seek to share what they have learned with others. Hence, the message creates the "messenger".
Looking back through history, Martin Luther King, Jackie Kennedy, Winston Churchill, Mozart and Edgar Allan Poe are just the tip of the iceburg of famous 11s.

Researching events in history that occurred under the influence of the 11, most notably 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, ( the name Katrina adds to an 11 and it made landfall on an 11 day) one also sees a pattern to significant events that occur when the 11 is present. Such events should prompt us to explore a deeper meaning beyond the headlines. What is the message?
The 11's message is always associated with humanity; to awaken, to uplift, to inspire, to enlighten.

This year on November 11th and especially next year on 11/11/11, be aware that it is a high vibrational day and your connection to the spiritual realm is heightened. It certainly is within the realm of possibility to have insightful, if not prophetic dreams and even a strong spiritual experience. You may find clarity about something that eluded you previously.
Meditate and connect to the Divine, however you define your Higher Power, and be open to receive your own personal message of the day. Be sure to also look at the news events of the day for special meaning.

God uses a Universal Language to speak to us and that Universal Language is NUMBERS.

Confessions of a Reformed 8th Grader

I recall sitting in 8th grade at St. Mary's Parochial School, staring at my worn and tattered shoes and wishing it was my turn for new shoes. The seam on the side was ripping out and I recall sliding my feet sideways so no one could see it. I am not sure how many weeks went by before I got a new pair of shoes but I do remember how embarrassed I was by having to wear the old ones.

.

Being one of six children growing up meant learning to go without. Never at a loss for love or laughter, but occasionally, you had to wait until it was financially possible for your parents to replace something as simple as the shoes on your feet. Hand me down clothing was a way of life in our house and God, I disliked the color red and it just seemed that was the color of the dress I always inherited. With four sisters, there was a constant stream of hand-me-downs. Add to that, my mother loved the color red and it was a given that red constantly showed up in our wardrobes.
.

For the most part of my life my clothing consisted of uniforms for school. Again, I had to deal with styles and colors not of my choosing although I have to admit I still have a fondness for a good blazer. Still, just the mention of a crisp white shirt with a peter pan collar sends me screaming in the other direction. If jeans did not come standard in navy blue, I would never wear that color either.

.

Yesterday, I had to empty out my closet to prepare for new carpet to be laid down in the bedroom. I stopped counting at 30 pairs of shoes. I also looked for the first time at the stacks of clothing on my top shelf, the four bins of winter items neatly stored beneath, the hanging shirts and pants and dresses and jackets. I also knew I had clothes stored in every other closet in the house. ( please do not tell my husband) I also made a mental note to never buy another peasant blouse as long as I live.
.

The good news is there was not even a hint of red. The bad news is that I realized I had an obsession. Was I trying to make up for a clothing starved youth? Had I entered a contest where the person with the most clothes wins?
.

I began to think about when and why I buy clothing. It wasn't a necessity. I tend to shop when I am feeling overwhelmed as if having another shirt puts me back in my power. I sometimes crave a new outfit the way that most women crave chocolate. Sadly, I crave chocolate too but that is another blog entirely. The point of the matter is that I realized I was an emotional shopper and somehow my closet was a stark reminder that happiness does not come by virtue of the size of your wardrobe.

.

I also realized that shopping was my only hobby. Now I am not saying that I am going to take up macrame any time too soon but I am going to try to be fully conscious when I go to the mall. I have decided it is OK to be kind to myself and an occasional outfit does feed the soul but I am not going to shop because I had a bad day or because I am upset about something. I am not going to try to pacify the 8th grader in me who wore the tattered shoes or was forced to wear the color red, but rather, celebrate the 56 yr old I have become. She does not need 30 pair of shoes because she has realized she only has 2 feet.

.

Who would have thought cleaning out your closet could bring such a revelation?

DESTINY

Having a Destiny suggests that we all have Destinations.

Where am I going and what am I here to do? What is the purpose of my life?

Doing readings all these years has taught me a thing or two about Destinies.

Last night I did a reading for a lady who had spent years caring for her mother who had Alzheimers. It inspired her to write a book to help other people caring for a parent with this difficult disease. It was her Destiny.

Yesterday I also received a book from a wonderful woman who had lost her young child to cancer. She too, wrote the story of her experience to give comfort to other parents and deliver a special message on the afterlife from her son. It was her Destiny.

There also is the story of a wife who lost her husband to cancer and in the process of her grief, went on a spiritual journey only to discover the origins of her soul and proof of life after death. Destiny

One of the most memorable readings I ever did was for a young man who spent 5 years of his life addicted to heroin. Now a recovering addict, he had dedicated his life to counseling others with addictions. Destiny

The stories of these people's lives was, without question, validated by the numbers in their Numerology Chart. I can only imagine the discussion on Destiny prior to incarnation for these souls.

Who chooses to loose a child or to watch a parent slip away or bury a husband or to endure drug addiction?

Courageous souls do.

In the moments of our greatest darkness, we find our greatest strength. Adversity can be the greatest of teachers because through adversity, we often discover our Destiny. Yes, adversity itself is part of the journey.

Sometimes it is hard to understand the good in the difficult circumstances of our lives but every experience serves a purpose. We are in apprenticeship for the most part of our lives in preparation for fulfilling our Destiny. Eventually, you will be able to look back upon your experiences and fully realize their meanings and how you have always been guided because your soul has always been at the helm of your journey. Your soul planned your destination and also gave you all the tools you need to arrive there.

A caretaker for a parent of Alzheimers becomes the teacher.

A mother of a child who dies from cancer becomes the messenger.

A wife who lost her husband goes on a spiritual journey.

A drug addict becomes a healer.

Destination Complete.

2012 Ask Yourself This

Take for a moment all the prophecy and predictions off the table. This is not a debate as to whether it will happen or not. Instead, just consider this one question.

" If ONLY 10% of the world's population believe that 12/21/2012 spells disaster, what would happen?"

There is approximately 6.7 billion people on this planet.

That translates to 670 million people behaving badly. What is even more disturbing is that 10% is most likely an understatement.

It is completely logical assumption that there will be an emotional reaction to the predictions for 2012. That can not be denied.

From what is written about 2012, the scenario is doomsday. There is no shortage of information, from books to movies to websites on the Internet. If you Google 2012, there are 13 million websites. It is mainstream news and discussions have appeared in newspaper articles and magazines and heard on television and radio. As 2012 approaches, there will likely be a frenzy of even more information gathering in speed and intensity.

Add to that the uneasiness of current global problems ( earthquakes, volcanoes, melting glaciers, oil spills, financial meltdowns, disease) and you have potentially a cause for people , in general, to be more willing to jump on the doomsday bandwagon.

Now back to 670 million people behaving badly.

Fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat and is the most basic human survival instinct. People will be fearful. When people operate from fear, especially when they perceive their life is in jeopardy, they will do whatever it takes to survive. In the scenario presented by the 2012 prophecies, there is no escaping but rather enduring and hopefully surviving whatever the impending disaster might be.

Think for a moment of the Titanic, a story we all know well. The difference is , in this scenario, we will not be able to exit the planet in an orderly fashion.

If 2012 is a complete "no show", you are still going to have to deal with the fear. As the clock continues to tick, time is bringing us closer to 12/21/12, and there will be chaos. There will be people who will break the law. There will be violence. There will be hoarding. There will be uncivilized behavior.

The very fact that people believe the potential impending doom of 2012 will create difficult circumstances for all of us to deal with no matter what we personally believe. Potentially, fear itself could be the most destructive part of the 2012 equation.

Imagine 670 million people on this planet behaving badly and you get a sense of how destructive this fear could be and how that fear might effect you and your family.

Regardless of what 2012 brings, this problem will need to be addressed. I wonder if our governments have given thought to human nature and the implications of 2012 upon the psyche of humanity.

Y2K in the year 2000 never happened. Still it was a notable doomsday scenario in recent memory. I can recall countless reassurances by our government and media that nothing was going to happen and the problem had been addressed.

The silence from our leaders is almost eerie.

The question really is, when it comes to 2012, is fear our greatest enemy?

When People Hand You a Crap Sandwich, Build an Igloo

People can be just plain mean.

No Matter how hard you try to live your life peacefully, eventually you will meet your nemesis and an arguement will ensue and hurtful things are said or even sometimes hateful actions are taken.

I always advocate trying to resolve the issue but sometimes,try as you may, there is no harmonious solution. You have reasoned with them, apologized, tried desperately to find an end to the arguement and it still is a massive problem. There really isn't anything else you can do. You have done your part. Your feelings are hurt. Your self esteem has taken a blow. You question yourself and want to crawl in a hole and die.

You have traveled the higher road but perhaps it is time to get on the Artic Expressway. What to do ? What to do?

Build an Igloo.

No not an actual igloo but rather an igloo in your mind. It does not matter how you build it, block by block or all at once. Just visualize it and when you have built your igloo, promptly place the offending individuals in your mental igloo. Yes grab them by the scruff of their necks and shove them in there!

Why you ask? Sounds pretty stupid doesn't it? I am going to explain right now.

When people get angry and emotional, the first thing they do is think negative thoughts which is negative energy. The more emotional they are, the stronger the negative energy. Then come the negative words and eventually the negative actions. These thoughts, words and deeds are negative energy and that negative energy is coming straight at you. They may live miles away from you but that energy still has an effect upon you. An unbalanced person that constantly thinks negative thoughts about you or wishes you ill can cause you problems that actually can manifest in illness or other physical effects.

Enter the igloo.

By mentally placing that person in the igloo, you are creating protection from their negative energy. You are in essence freezing them out of your life. Stopping them cold. You are putting a barrier between yourself and their negative energy. You are taking their power away to hurt you. You are also empowering yourself by disengaging from the vicious cycle of back and forth that can keep this negative energy flowing into your life.

It is a visualization but a powerful one.

When you place that person in the igloo, offer thoughts of emotional healing and love to them. Wish them no harm. Wish that they be happy and healthy and free from suffering and go on with your life knowing that their negative energy is frozen and unable to harm you in any way.

And if you happen to run across them, and they say something nasty or give you the evil eye, just hand them a pair of mittens and smile . You handled your crap sandwich..thank you very much.

The Reincarnation of Madame Curie

Several years ago a very talented clairvoyant named Carolyn Evers told me that she saw in a vision of my past life that I was the reincarnation of Madame Curie. Although I appreciated Carolyn's insight, I dismissed the idea entirely because the very idea of chemistry and physics makes me nauseous. I also strongly resist needing a "title" to make you feel special.

Still, there were many things about being told that I was the reincarnation of Madame Curie that struck me odd. Being an avid fan of biographies, which really got me started with Numerology, I happen to own Madame Curie's biography as it was one of my childhood favorites. The book sits on my desk to this day with my many other favorite books.

I also could not help but pick up on the names in Madame Curie's actual life. My middle name is Marie and Madame Curie's name is Marie. My mother's name is Irene and Madame Curie named her daughter Irene. I even named my own daughter Greta Irene.

I also could not help but wonder why, ever since I was a child, that I was afraid to have an x-ray and when I got older I often argued with Doctors about the necessity of having one. Could it be that because Madame Curie died of radiation poisoning that I had a fear of x-rays?

I also was very aware of her life and knew that after her husband died, she eventually had an affair with her married lab assistant. This act almost cost her the Nobel Peace Prize as she was a public figure, albeit a reluctant one, and during that era, such a thing was scandalous. I find it very interesting that when looking at the Numerology of my own chart and my husband's, we have a Karmic relationship that points to a past life together and a past affair. The very fact that my husband is a geologist, raises an eyebrow as well because it reflects his scientific past. Imagine a Numerologist and a Geologist?

Madame Curie was a recluse for the most part and her work was her life. She never enjoyed the public limelight. I certainly can resonate to those feelings. Although I have what appears to be an outgoing personality, basically I prefer to spend time alone. My work is my life and although Numerology is considered to be a "pseudo-science" it surprisingly is based upon physics. I have to admit I do a great deal of research with Numerology testing the theories of it. It involves many hours of research, analysis and collecting data.

Enter Saturn in the 5th House:

The other night I was reading an Astrology Book with my personal Astrology Chart in hand and I happen to have Saturn in the 5th House.

And I quote: " Disciplined fifth house Saturn needs to learn how to relax and have a good time, and for this serious, responsible planet, that's not always easy. Because of its seriousness, Saturn's fifth house creativity is often channeled into scientific discovery: this is the placement of Madame Curie, for example."

Ok..now that was just plain freaky!

Numerology and Psychic Gifts

Once you begin to study Numerology, you realize that it speaks clearly about psychic gifts. Words such as psychic, mediumship, prophetic dreams, healers, spiritual teachers and a connection to the spiritual realm are weaved throughout the meanings of the numbers.

It is not surprising because Numerology is depicting the journey of a soul in this lifetime. We are, after all, spiritual beings having a physical existence and not the other way around.

It is arrogant to believe that God stopped communicating with us. Did not the Bible speak of prophets and healers? History tells us that miracles happened and continue to happen and God has been speaking to mankind since the beginning of time. So why did society stop being open minded and shut down the infinite possibilities of communication with God? Why the skepticism? In many ways, such skepticism goes against all that religion teaches about God's love for us. Why would he not continue to speak to us through our connection to the Divine and our own souls? We are, after all, His children.

Through my experience doing Numerology readings for many many years, it has given me great satisfaction to share with my clients their psychic gifts. More often than not, I have helped to validate , through the meanings of the numbers, people's experiences with paranormal activity. Yes people see angels and have visions and recieve prophetic dreams and more, but they seldom speak about it. They are afraid people would perceive them to be crazy. Many a client is releived to know that they are quite normal and feel vindicated of the sense of alienation that something is wrong with them. The end result is that they begin to recognize the messages they receive and embrace the insight and guidance that comes with being in touch with God on a much more personal level.

I refer you to the words of famous Numerologist Juno Jordan who often is called the Grandmother of Numerology, from the book "Romance in Your Name":

The number THREE has a strange gift of prophecy. Being inwardly sensitive and intuitive, it often senses events before they happen. It possesses a natural psychic ability as the medium or clairvoyant."

And that is just the tip of the iceburg of what Numerology has to say about your psychic abilities.
