My preference as an astrologer is to help you understand your life and why you are here. However, every once in a while, the larger picture needs to be looked at. Your personal horoscope and predictions are accurate, but you are living within the energy of the larger picture. Your predictions will be what is important, and your "good days" (my people call them blue days) can show you how to prosper in what seems to be trying times. Vice-versa, if your predictions reveal a time to be careful, please do so. The expanded energy of a larger picture will make your careful time easier, but you still need to be careful. Hope this helps. So, here goes with the predictions for the United States for a few months.

Predicted for the year 2007: "Beginning the end of January (2007) a long-term adjustment period regarding the nation's money begins in January 2008. This may not be noticeable unless you are skilled at understanding the stock market, the money supply and interest rate changes. These areas begin to be tweaked now (Jan. 2007) through end of 2008."

The above was published at the end of 2006. As you know this is still continuing. There is talk in the news of the possible regulation of financial instruments, with some lamenting. The financial system was regulated as a consequence of the Great Depression, when financial trading was intermingled, like it is now. It was realized that intermingling was a cause of the Depression, so it was made illegal. As collective memory faded, and the generation who forgot came into office, the intermingling was allowed again, and you know the outcome because you are living it.

The United States is continuing several severe cycles. One began the end of January 2009 and had focus dates of March 9, May 1 and December 26, 2009. It repeats again August 8 and October 19, 2010 (this year). The first set of dates reveal the government takeover of GM and Chrysler. At the end of the year, the financials of these companies was awful. However the Christmas Day bomber came the day before the Dec 26 exact date. These are not over. There is a sharp focus on either demise of the auto industries, another terrorist attack or the fall of the dollar on August 8 and October 19 of this year. You can expect more security at the airports, more bail-outs of the auto industry and credit card crises. Take care of your own finances.

Another cycle began 8 January this year, repeats July 16 and ends November 9. There are severe pressures on the office of the presidency. This is a serious crisis evidenced by the revolt of the electorate to perceived forcing of legislation they don't want. There is a serious threat to the presidency itself. There are powerful interests who want to stop the huge debt being amassed, and that will be a crisis. This may have happened behind the scenes or from another country in January. It will be noticeable around July 16, with the situation coming to its end by the first ten days in November of this year of 2010. Interesting that the November elections 2010 happen under severe tension.

The credit card situation was adjusted the end of February. The astrological indications are that it was a long time coming and is unsatisfactory. There are hidden agendas and if you are not diligent, you can be defrauded. Be careful of scammers pretending to be credit counselors who will take your money. This is all indicated in the progression that was exact February 27.

A new cycle begins March 16, repeats August 21 and ends January 17, 2011. This may seem good around March 16. In reality (if there is reality with Neptune) it is utopian expectation of the masses expecting something for nothing. There could be a new volunteer organization spring up ostensibly to help. If you are attracted to something that seems so very good, please check it out before giving of your self or your money. It could be wonderful, but this is a classic cult indication. There could be a person who is treated like royalty or a rock star, and it is not quit real. There is an aura of glamour hiding the real intentions. The alarming situation is the debt and value of the dollar in the United States. The country cannot sustain more debt, and this first date could be a foreign nation that holds our debt forcing the United States to stop creating more debt. If this happens, it will affect everybody. Pay attention to what happens March 15 through the 18th to see if you can figure out how your life is affected.

April 3 a good cycle begins. There is an opportunity for the United States to reorganize money in a new unusual way. This opportunity includes being open with the public. There could be good news about reorganization of lower education that will work. The cycle repeats October 19 and ends January 20, 2011.

Another good cycle commences May 2, repeats October 29 and ends December 8 this year. If the government is open, inclusive and welcomes conservative fiscal ideas, the financial situation can be greatly improved by the end of this year. This is complemented by another good cycle beginning May 21, repeating September 27 and ending January 7, 2011, which is another opportunity to reorganize the finances via conservative principals. These good cycles are working together, but it will take the acceptance of the opportunities and open dialog that includes the electorate. A refusal to accept ideas means these cycles will go by unnoticed, with the opportunities wasted.

(Note: the word conservative in astrology means the planet Jupiter and the sign Sagittarius. The word liberal in astrology means the planet Saturn and the sign Capricorn. I know this sounds backwards, but Jupiter is associated with Republicans, Saturn is associated with Democrats.)

That is all for this article. These predictions will be commented upon and the next few months talked about in the next article.

'In these Moments’ with Malachite

Alright and Welcome to These Moments, they call me Malachite... always a pleasure to be with your essence and presence; and here we are together in this moment... and such the Moment it is, Soul! Many of you are finally, literally breaking out of the intense energetic stupor that has been whirling about since December 2009. Bouts of physical malaise and anxiety, depression, mental disequilibrium, with faith being tested to the core as humanity's fear, financial compromise, global climate changes and continued personal and group communications are tested.... Sounds gloomy, eh? Well, you are coming out of it! And for some of you Beloveds, it's been just another day, as you've been in this stasis for the last 3 - 5 years! And yes, you're coming coming out of it, too!

So, how much longer you ask? You have noticed the date on your calendar correct? This is 2010, the year of saying 'when'.... Irregardless of what portends for 2012, this period is still a quickening of the human schematic, and will have the 'roller coaster' effect; just remember: it's a ride! The human journey over the last 5000 years has been meandering, spiraling upward, albeit slowly and forever expanding, continuing to the Still Point; the merge when the shift happens, the veil becomes translucent and the separation within the self toward the other is no more. The Many and the One: as One, by One, for One, through One, to One; all One. And the experience continues….

Your multidimensional connection has been requiring your attention, as the body conduit, et al, have been going through 'upgrades' and 'balancing' with the growing commodity of technological advance. So what am i saying: (?) Are you sitting in the Seat (creating some space, connecting in, etc)? The bozo i speak through barely does, so i'm wondering are you? Soul, now is the time during this quickening to do such! No place to go, no thing to get, where you are is perfect… NOW! …. To continue please click here.

From the files: Miss Tiggy (a miniature long-haired dachshund) is nearly 16 years old. Her eyes are not as clear as they once were, and her hearing has gone with the wind. She much enjoys sitting under the pines with me. Sometimes she curls up in the little nest she has made in the pine needles and sleeps. Sometimes she just looks around - and around and around. All is well with her.

She says: “As I mature, as you put it, and certain aspects of my functioning in this life withdraw, so do others come into focus and sharpen, to keep the balance. And where I once saw clearly with my bright and shining eyes, now I do see with my inner vision. And the pictures that I see are different than the ones I saw before. It is as though a curtain descends causing a refocusing of this vision, which allows for viewing of another dimension that is around. And these different dimensions express through frequencies, thus do they not interfere with each other. They exist within the one tone, but they express at a different vibration most finely tuned. And it does need practice. Much as those holographic images which are hidden within a picture - the focus must be exactly so to catch that inner world. And as the physical sight grows dim it allows for a concentration or awareness that other worlds are round about. It is the same with the hearing. I now hear different sounds than I did hear before.”

I ask Tiggy if she will allow me to feel what she is feeling and seeing. And she says: “As you can see, I am busy. But if you wish you may share the experience.” I ask for assistance in expanding and developing my awareness of this. And just for a moment, a fleeting moment - I do feel a great sense of being in the now. “That is all there is,” says Tiggy. “Just being here now.”

Many years ago, the Star Elders told me that when we came upon the shift of the ages many basic rules of nature, regarding how our dimension works, would change. Because most ancient cultures have prophesied that we are now in the shift of the ages, it is essential that we keep our eyes open to changes around us. The changes we see, the feelings we have and the effects that we see in the world, are all clues to what rules are changing and when.

We have had in recent months, a massive wave of heightened light and frequency wash across our dimension. Because of this, the laws of nature, the very fabric of our old dimension, is beginning to dissolve. One aspect that is greatly affected is the rule of duality and separation. Duality and separation creates up and down, black and white, right and wrong, etc…. Duality creates separation, and separation creates duality. The interesting point here is that we have never been separate from each other. We have always been intimately connected, but we have been unconscious . . . like sleeping zombies.

Thanks to massive waves of light coming into our dimension now, we are beginning to feel the impact that we are indeed connected to all life. What affects one, affects everyone. It is what the Maya call "In Lak'ech Ala K'in". This means what I do to you, I do to myself, and what I do to myself, I do to you. In Inca traditions this time is referred to as Taripaypacha (tah-ree-pie-pah-cha) with literally means "to merge with the universe". In Andean prophecy, this refers to a new Golden Age in the human experience. It is known as the age of meeting ourselves again, and heralds the coming together again of the Children of the SUN, and the recreation of a new and better world.

The terrible earthquake in Haiti reminded us what post-traumatic stress syndrome actually feels like in the collective consciousness. Any time there is a huge trauma or displacement in the family of humanity, we all feel it whether we know it or not. Many people suffered feelings of suffocation, tightness in the chest, panic attacks, uncontrollable hunger, stomach and digestive issues and a pervasive numb/empty feeling. It has been hard to get moving, because we have felt stuck, trapped and frustrated. We did daily battle with relentless procrastination. Life has felt like life itself was circling in a holding pattern. We are still having strange dreams of the past, as we clear out our past issues once and for all.

Even before the Haitian earthquake, humanity has been manifesting more and more physical illnesses; most of which are phantom symptoms that have more to do with the collective rather than the individual. The drug companies make more and more exotic designer drugs trying to help us deal with these imbalances. But the drugs have terrible side effects, and we end up being sick in another way. We are struggling to feel better, because deep inside we are becoming aware of the harmony, the balance, and the oneness that now exists in these new frequencies. But going into denial of these imbalances will give only a temporary reprieve, and prolongs the uncomfortable symptoms. We need to face the proverbial "bogeyman" inside of us so we can be free again.

We do the best we can to deal with the ever increasing frequencies which we are feeling. So we numb ourselves so as not to feel this stress; not because we are lazy, but because we don't know what to do to fix the imbalances. The problem appears to be too big and overwhelming to comprehend. We learn to adapt the best we can. Most everyone on the planet can feel that something is desperately wrong. Our fright or flight / catastrophobia mechanism has been kicking into overdrive. Emotionally we try to numb ourselves with more things, more food, more sleep, more drugs, more spiritual practices, more meditation and more yoga. We are finding that there are not enough things to have, or things to do in the world, to ease the stress that we feel inside. We find ourselves still hungry, and searching for a better high. Nothing seems to work.

Now that a little time has passed, we have already begun to assimilate and integrate the post-traumatic stress created by the Haitian earthquake. Even though it may not appear outwardly, we are working very hard to break through the veil to balance ourselves and our lives within these new higher frequencies which have arrived. We are learning to deal with what I call yet another level of the "new normal".

As complicated and challenging as this wave of light appears, there is an easy remedy. Recently the Star Elders shared a simple suggestion to help us get through this wave, and those coming to us in the future. They simply said "KEEP MOVING". I didn't understand the impact of what they were saying until recently.

Once I realized how stuck I was feeling, I kicked my backside into action. Believe me, I had to kick hard. I started moving. I did anything. It didn't matter what. I just moved. I worked in the garden and did some long needed home improvements. This didn't come easy, because I felt like I was hindered every step of the way. Even in writing this article, I hit more layers of procrastination than I wanted to count. But I persevered, and kept on keeping on.

In my stuckness, I didn't want to go to the gym. But when I finally went, right there on the elliptical machine that I dislike so much, I was having fantastic visions. I was feeling the light of the new and glorious world unfolding in front of me. It was incredible and timeless. My allotted 30 minutes passed by in a blink. I didn't understand this, until my sweetie Raphael said "Remember, the Star Elders said to keep moving." Oh, he was right!

I began to realize this phase of our ascension / shift of the ages, needed a deeper level of focus and commitment from us to make things happen. The deeper I committed to any desire or intent, the easier things became. As long as I stayed totally committed to making things happen, they did. But I couldn't do this sitting down. I had to move. I had to get involved. I had to do something. Soon my numerous post-traumatic stress symptoms began to diminish.

As each wave of high frequency light reaches us, we will become more conscious and awake, and the more we will feel the pulses and shifts in the collective consciousness. This can be a pretty uncomfortable dilemma for ones that are already quite open and awake. An old friend told me once that the only way out is through. There is no going back to the way it was. We must continue with our awakening. We must keep moving. We cannot unlearn the light. Once we become fully aware that each and every one of our actions affects literally everyone else, it will become more important to us to live with impeccability, harmony, and peace. We are being called to live an authentic life. You know the old saying "What goes around, comes around".

I began to realize that our feelings of being stuck related to the fact that our primal survival mechanism didn't want the "new normal" that was presented to us. Our spirits are eager for change, but the primal side of ourselves wants to hang on to the "old normal". The unknown is always a little scary, and facing 100% of ourselves can be detrimental to our ego. This is causing us the uncomfortable feelings, and the crazy and un-diagnosable symptoms. The old fading normal is arguing with the new normal birthing inside of us. This is simply duality rearing its ugly head, but it will fail. Duality is no longer being supported. The laws of natures based in separation and duality are now being replaced by the law of ONE.

The age of US versus THEM is over. Because of this fact, our world appears to becoming more polarized and out of balance. It appears this way because we are more conscious of how intimately connected we all are. We are closer together now. We can see the hidden skeletons in the closet. Therefore, we are more aware of all the imbalances. It is not that the world is getting more out of balance. It is just that we are becoming more aware of what has been happening all along. The mass collective consciousness is out of balance with new laws of nature, so it is no wonder why so many of us feel like aliens. It is not that we are aliens to this world. It is because our world is alien to us. It is out of balance with the truth of the new laws of nature . . . the wave of light that is now growing within us.
