The following email came from Stephanie St. Claire, Tucson psychic and astrologer. I have met Stephanie, had readings from her and think she gives good insights, which she always prefaces by saying,
"I need to remind everyone that the POWER IS ALWAYS WITHIN US TO CREATE OUR LIVES. Information channeled or that I send out is to be used as a general guide. I disagree, often, with some of the information that is in a channeled piece I send out even though I might agree with the majority of it and is the reason I send it out in the first place. Ultimately, the test is for ALL OF US to learn about what is true or not. If it FEELS RIGHT WITHIN then it is truthful for you at that moment. The "truth" for us all changes as we become more and more aware. In these times we're in, now, the only way to know what is the truth for you is to go within. Ultimately, that will be our ONLY true source."
So from Stephanie St. Claire:
INFINITE BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE IN THIS NEW YEAR - 2011
The count down to December 21, 2012 is getting closer and closer. We're less than two years away from the date the Mayan Calendar ends. Over the years, many people have asked me what I think about that date. They've asked if I thought anything magical or unusual was going to take place, most especially if the world was going to end. My answer is always the same.....nothing is going to happen on that date. To me, it is similar to the frenzy that took place ten years ago with the Y2K phenomena at the century change from 1999 to 2000. If you remember, nothing out of the ordinary happened. I feel the same way about 12/21/12.
Nevertheless, that said, let's talk about what IS taking place on this planet. Since 1988, the frequency and energy of this reality has been changing quite a bit. From the mid 1990s, time started to noticeably change. Things seemed to move faster and faster. People started to notice it around that time. As the mid 2000s approached, everyone seemed to really be aware that something was going on but they didn't know what it was or how to describe it. Then, the last couple of years most people have been feeling overwhelmed, feeling more stressed out than ever before, and feeling there wasn't enough time to do anything, that the days just flew by!
So let's talk about what IS taking place. Our planet is going through a HUGE vibrational/spiritual shift. It's never happened before. All of us who are here signed up for a "tour of duty" on planet earth during this time. In translation, Earth is "the" happening place in the Universe!
Most of us were NOT born into the vibrational energies existing at this time. Therefore, on all levels of our being, that is, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, we are being bombarded by these intense energies. We are in the last phase of the increase. Each year of the last couple of years, the frequency has quadrupled over and over again, in what Spirit calls the "nanosecond", the quickening of earth's energies. What that means is this year the energy is increasing. This will last approximately through 2012 and then it will level off.
The by-product of this increase in energies is quite noticeable. First, time as we know it, is dissolving...it hardly exists anymore. A normal day goes by in the blink of an eye. Secondly, people are so overwhelmed, they are falling apart, literally. Thirdly, many people are going functionally insane because they cannot handle the energy. And, lastly, many people and animals are leaving their bodies and moving off the earth plane. And these are just a few manifestations of the changes taking place.
Spirit has given me and others remedies to these energies which I will now share with you. You can use this information to assist you in the process we are all now experiencing or you can just choose to ignore these recommendations. First, everyone needs to SLOW WAY DOWN. What that means is to stop trying to do and be everything to everyone. Each person needs to rest. And not just rest for an hour but take one day a week and do nothing. Sit outside in nature (which rejuvenates you) in quietude. Rest in bed, sleep, read, again being silent. Most importantly, STOP RUNNING AND RUNNING AND DOING AND DOING. If you keep on with those patterns, it will do you in and your body will just stop working.
Have a lot of quiet time........no music or noise. Be alone with yourself to connect with your inner being, what Spirit calls the INNER NET. Take Yoga, Tai Chi, the martial arts, Qigong (pronounced Chi Gong), engage in spiritual practices or do anything mindful so as to ground yourself into your body. Spirit has said that it is vitally important to be grounded in one's body, not to space out! It is by being grounded into one's body that each of us will navigate these tumultuous times. Gardening and digging in the soil is vitally important. If we're not grounded solidly, there will be problems ahead. They say that being in nature is simply one of the most important activities we could ever engage in, so hiking in the woods, sitting by a stream, walking along the ocean are grounding, solidifying and
vitally healthy for our mind, body and spirit. And do NOT take your ipod. That defeats the entire purpose. BE STILL, BE QUIET, BE SILENT!
Spirit has said over and over again that technology is destroying our physical, mental and emotional bodies. Most people do not want to hear this, but I believe it to be true. And the technologies will become more and more invasive as the years fly by. I could go on and on about this but I will not. It is up to each and every one of you to take responsibility for your choices and actions. All I will say is that the less technology you have or use, the healthier will be your body on all levels. The technology that will be introduced the next few years will blow you away. There are many devices available to protect yourself. I carry/sell many of them. The rejuvenizers are listed on my website. Many people have found that these devices help them to feel much, much better. They neutralize the effect of cell towers, wifi, and other invasive technologies. If the internet is ever shut down, which could happen with solar flares and in other ways I don't wish to discuss at this time, many people will go crazy because of their addiction to technology.
Madness already exists as witnessed if one drives a vehicle. I've had four incidents over the last month whereby people behind me were about an inch from my bumper and repeatedly honked their horns until I turned off the road. And I was going the speed limit each time. My friend, John, witnessed and gave his testimony on the three separate automobile accidents recently due to cell phone usage while driving. And those are just two examples. And let's not forget the Tucson shooting incident as well.
ASTROLOGY FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR
First I wish to talk about Arizona. Last year there was a solar eclipse on July 11, 2010. It was in October that the Astrology Guild speaker was Steve Weiss who lives in Scottsdale and has previously lectured in Tucson several years ago. In Saturday's workshop, Steve presented an outstanding and mind boggling piece of information. Steve was teaching us about the meaning of astrocartography, local space and geodetic lines. Eclipses are never good. One has to be wary of wherever they hit. Well, using the geodetic lines, he showed how the solar eclipse went right through Phoenix and Arizona!!!! At the time, Steve said that this will last quite a while and does not bode well for the State! He discussed the situation with the Governor and the border stuff that was going on. He said the effect of this eclipse could last through 2011 and possibly longer. And look what just took place with Gabrielle Giffords and the shooting on Saturday, January 8th. Now, let's look at the year in astrological terms. First Mercury retrogrades ..... Mercury goes retrograde three times a year for three weeks at a time. It is best NOT to sign important documents should there be a need to do so during this time. Communications and travel plans often break down. The dates for the Mercury retrogrades are:
March 30 at 2:48 PM MST to April 23 at 3:04 AM PDT (also AZ time)
August 2 at 8:50 PM PDT (AZ time) to August 26 at 3:03 PM PDT (AZ time) November 23/24 at 12:21 AM MST to December 13 at 6:43 PM MST
Next, I wish to discuss the incredible planetary lineup for this year. And it's a doozie! On Saturday, January 22nd, the planet Jupiter (good fortune, abundance, expansion) moves into Aries where it will only be until June 4th. Jupiter is usually in a sign for a year but its rotation through Aries is quicker. Jupiter was in Aries very briefly for a couple of months last summer. Sometimes the rotation of the planets is quicker than normal. Jupiter enters the sign of Taurus on June 5th where it will remain until June 11, 2012.
So, if you have any planets in Aries, while in that sign, it's a good time to expand and shift gears. The energy is with you so to speak. Of course, it depends entirely upon each person's astrological chart. Jupiter in Aries makes beneficial aspects to Leo and Sagittarius as well as the air signs, Libra, Gemini and Aquarius. When Jupiter transitions into Taurus, anyone with planets in Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn will feel a sigh of relief. Jupiter in Taurus bodes well for the water signs, Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer, as well.
The really BIG news is the change of the planet Uranus which stays in a sign for seven years. It is permanently moving from the sleepy, watery sign of Pisces where things are hidden and stay under the surface, to Aries which is an "in your face" energy. What's really major about this change is the energy of the planet Uranus. It is the ruler of Aquarius whose symbol looks like waves of electricity and is eccentric in nature. Aquarians beat to a different drummer which is very much in alignment with the energy of Uranus. Wherever Uranus is in the sky or in one's personal chart, WATCH OUT! When Uranus is in a fire sign, that's a double whammy!
Uranus actually goes into the sign of Aries, at 00 degrees 00 minutes at 5:52 PM MST on Friday, March 11, 2011. Daylight savings time changes on Sunday, March 13th.Uranus has to do thunderbolts of sudden, unexpected change. With Uranus in Aries, a sign of action, it acts like the "WOW" factor! What is most unusual about all of this is where the other outer planets are positioned. Basically, we have a HUGE amount of oppositions and squares going on, all involving massive amounts of growth on the planet as a whole.
We have the planet Pluto in the sign of Capricorn, where it's been since January of 2009, bringing about the breakdown of structures and organizations as we've known them to be. Uranus in Aries makes a very difficult, in fact, the most difficult aspect there is in astrology, an exact square, to Pluto. Then if you factor in the planet Saturn, which is currently in the sign of Libra (the breakdown and dissolution of relationships and relationship issues, in general), Saturn forms an opposition to Uranus in Aries since Aries/Libra are opposite signs. So, that makes life really intense when you add the nanosecond energy to this volatile combination.
This lineup could bring much weather and geological shakeups, not to mention problems with our financial systems, real estate, and so forth. Most people know that many countries of the world, including the United States, are bankrupt or close to it. In this country, many parks are closed. Many people have lost their jobs with little hope on the horizon. Once Uranus moves into Aries, in March, I do expect massive shifts in real estate with foreclosures hitting record numbers we've never seen before. I expect the stock market, metals and pretty much everything taking a fairly big hit. I believe this is the year we will really see some massive changes in these areas which I've been saying for a couple of years now. So, you might ask, who would be most personally effected by this lineup? People with their Sun sign in Aries, Libra, Capricorn and its opposite sign, Cancer, specifically those born from about March 23 - April 4/5, September 23 to October 4/5, December 23 - January 4/5, and June 23 - July 4/5.
Now, keep in mind that you may not be born on those dates but might still have one or more other planets besides the Sun in the degrees that these outer planets hit. Of course, as you know, all charts are different and unique as are fingerprints.
Astrological Comments by George Ward of the Pleiadian Times
George Ward writes the astrology column for the publication The Pleidadian Times and is one of the homelander group on the P's CDs which I subscribe to and share with my class. I greatly respect his analysis and his contributions to the local group in North Carolina and his column in the P Times.
I wish to quote his comments about the eclipse and new moon that just occurred.
"On January 4th, a new Moon solar eclipse at 13 degrees of Capricorn calls upon us to remember our experiences and lessons from many timelines, and integrate them with practical living skills that are simple, efficient useful. Throughout time, winter has always been a natural season for getting by on less, for a sensible use of resources and slowing down for rest and renewal. In the current era, people have increasingly relied on technology, commerce, and modern infrastructure in ways that have interrupted and distracted us from the natural rhythms of winter. Solar eclipses often foreshadow significant endings and beginnings. With world economic, social and environmental structures in chaos and contraction, the solar eclipse in Capricorn will influence the next six Moons.......until the following solar eclipse occurs in the summer of 2011. Capricorn often teaches lessons pertaining to self-sufficient, frugality and preparedness. This eclipse cycle will force many unsuspecting people to confront their most basic survival issues. For those who have prepared, challenges can be met with calmness and gratitude. With the velocity of change continuing to increase, the priority of slowing down to adjust, stabilize and receive internal guidance from our timelines is vital to maintaining a steady course and rediscovering our real purpose for being here."
Jose and Lena Stevens Comments on the Year 2011
Jose and Lena Stevens of The Power Path in Sante Fe, NM, write the Full/New Moon/Monthly forecasts which I forward to all of you. They do good work and that's why I forward them. Each year in December, they channel the yearly forecast based on the Michael material which I teach in my classes. When you have a chart channeled by my friend, Shepherd, you are given your personality overleaves/profile for this life. Jose and Lena channel the energies that are prevalent for the upcoming year. I will give you the highlights and overview of their two hour lecture on the year 2011's trends and energies. It coincides clearly with the astrological weather of this year as well.
They say that this year is a year of hard work, chopping wood, carrying water, nose to the grindstone, kind of year. It's a SERVER year which means there is inspiration through service to others, we'd better do it ourselves, have good boundaries so you're not taken advantage of. The role of Server is known for having compassion for others and forgiving others.
The casting or secondary energies are of the WARRIOR, getting the job done, being productive, willing to take on challenges especially since people are realizing that our leaders are not taking action. Learning about what it is by being served by others, how to serve the community and accept service/help from others. It's an action year, a year of getting back to basics, a reconnection with the land, with what's simple.
The goal is GROWTH which means seeking personal development and helping others to accomplish that, constant activity, feeling good that one is involved in growing and learning. It is crucial to prioritize one's activities, and to make your list a doable one. Do NOT overextend yourself or take on too many activities which will be the impulse during this year. People will tend to get very confused by taking on too much. That is the negative pole of Growth. From time to time, it will be important to take time out and to re-evaluate what you're doing.
The mode (how we accomplish the goal) this year is AGGRESSION. People will normally feel more aggressive and/or assertive which in the positive pole is being dynamic and getting things effectively accomplished. However, the aggression mode is rather difficult to handle. In the negative pole, it comes off as belligerence, pushing people around. Older souls can usually find the balance, but it's not easy. It's a year of breaking out......the need for freedom. It's a time of immense changes.
The attitude is very unusual for this year........for the first 6 months, it is IDEALIST, doing things as perfectly as possible. Perfectionism, getting the job done as best as possible, offers us all hope for the planet. Then after 6 months, it switches to PRAGMATIST. Pragmatists see the most efficient way to get the job done and they do it, they don't wait for it to be perfect.
The obstacle is what trips us all up. This year it's SELF-DEPRECATION. Self-dep is a very popular obstacle. Many people choose this one. It fosters low self-worth. It's energies are "I'm not good enough". People usually struggle to release self-doubt and choices one has made, such as being in a relationship that isn't working. It's someone who questions everything. This year there is a need to let go of what isn't working without feeling bad about any of the choices one has made in the past. Each choice we make teaches us to appreciate the value within ourselves and what we've accomplished in our lives even though those choices no longer serve us, learning to accept that we all do deserve to receive.
The centering, which is our primary way of reacting to everything that happens to us, is EMOTIONAL CENTERING WITH A MOVING PART. This usually creates a wide array of feelings, moving from one feeling to another in a very short time. For those people who are predominantly analytical (intellectual centering), they will be surprised to find themselves being more emotional than usual. Emotionally centered people react from the heart rather than the head. This year will find people bypassing the mind or the analytical sense. It could drive people crazy especially those who are used to figuring out a plan and carrying it out or finding solutions intellectually. This year is about learning to rely on your intuition rather than the intellect. With a moving part, you will not have time to figure things out or react intellectually. If one is coming from a place of FEAR, which is the majority of people, when combined with the aggression mode, one could be highly irrational and take aggressive actions. It's okay to be angry, something our society does not condone, on occasion, if warranted. The way to tell if one's anger is appropriate or not is if it feels okay, then letting off steam in a careful way is good. However, if getting angry doesn't feel good and one gets more aggressive and assertive as time is progressing, then the anger is not appropriate or in balance. So, be careful, and monitor your reactions. It's a year of losing the mind to find the heart...relinquishing the need to know (intellectualizing). Following one's feelings and trusting.
The element this year is WATER and FIRE, two elements usually not compatible. In Feng Shui and the Five Element Theory, water and fire people are not compatible since water puts out fire. Lena and Jose said they don't know how that will show up. My feeling is that there will be more flooding, water related issues and more fires and fire related issues on the planet. The focus will be on the oceans, how they work, resources available from them, how to restore them. Elephants will be in the news since they are servers.
The needs and themes of this year are COMMUNION (sense of community and being connected to other people), EXPRESSION and FREEDOM resulting in the need to express one's self, needing an outlet of some kind, and breaking free of limitations (Uranus in Aries). There could be a great deal of civil unrest. If something isn't serving you, you will want and need to break free. There will be a need of wanting to be with like-minded people, learning how to cook again.
The soul influence is MATURE, creating a sense of radical responsibility for self and the planet. For many years, the orientation in this country and the world was a Young soul orientation wanting to win and be successful. This mature soul or relationship orientation should see a switch to groups banning together, creating en masse revolt (aggression mode), adapting to changing realities, forming new identities, redefining oneself, a revolution of what we're doing on the planet, who we think we are, where we're going, generally, expanding one's thinking of who we and everyone else in the world is....bigger ideas.
Another major theme this year is the uncovering of many things which have been hidden and secret for a long time....wiki leaks is a small example of this, but much bigger and shocking revelations about the government and planet, in general, will be exposed in the next few years.
This year will be the start of the unfolding process. This year will be an understanding of ourselves in terms of mother nature who is one of the biggest servers in the universe. Many people will lead the way of exposing how we've been harming our beautiful planet. There will be a collision course with how corporations do business. Their policies will no longer be viable and will have to change. Much will be accomplished at the local level like the formation of organizations that are sustainable and wanting to solve problems at the local level.
The United States will eventually be a world spiritual leader like India has been known in the past. There are already many spiritual changes underway that are noticeable in the US.
To me, this year looks extremely promising. I want everyone to remember that your beliefs are the ideas of how you perceive your life and the world. If you change your beliefs about yourself and who you think you are, then you can change your entire life. We create our lives based on our feelings and beliefs about ourselves and our lives.
As a reminder, I have several exercises that help each of us create our lives more effectively. If you would like me to email them to you, let me know.
Wishing all of you a FABULOUS year ahead. With loving thoughts to each of you, Stephanie--
