PREDICTIONS FOR 2011
Interpreting the Diurnal-Planet-for-a-Year progression to the Declaration of Independence chart gives an overview of the year for the United States.
This amazing progression method is fully explained in my book
Your Cosmic Oracle.
July 2009-July 2010 was a Neptune year. War, oil prices, recession, and rising debt have dominated these years. Watergate, the end of the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War and the OPEC oil embargo, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the subsequent Vietnam War escalation have occurred during Neptune years. The Neptune year of 1964 is when President Johnson initiated his Great Society program that increased government welfare programs and witnessed a rising debt to GDP.
President Obama also delivered his utopian vision (Neptune) by creating the biggest expansion of government spending and social programs since Roosevelt and the Great Depression. He has also escalated the war in Afghanistan while reducing troop presence in Iraq. The economy is still run down, but Wall Street has begun to rally. There are promising developments in the energy, education, and medical bills, but also a huge national debt is building that can wreck us in the near future.
The most frightening fact about Neptune boils down to the unknown. The widespread uncertainty concerning jobs, available banking credit, the U.S. and European debt, the intentions of Iran and North Korea, and climate change make for a very unstable future. Uncertainties also exist in our alliances with Russia over nuclear disarmament, in U.N. global warming reduction treaties, in the War on Terror, and how government largess will affect our individual lives.
July 2010-July 2011 is a Mercury year. Mercury, planet of knowledge and decision making, would seem an encouraging sign of good things to come. But Mercury is “two faced” by nature, and in opposition with Pluto (planet of extremes and contradictions) in the Declaration horoscope. This implies wild swings between good and bad news. It also means a removal of the old, solving of problems, new insights, and transformation. There will be significant redesigns (mergers, buyouts, and restructuring) within many major media firms.
A variety of national events have occurred during past Mercury years. The war in Vietnam ended; the parallel this time will be a significant troop pullout from Iraq and Afghanistan. Economic troubles have occurred only once during this planet year but it was the Great Depression of 1929! A build-up to war has correlated most often: the War of 1812; 1830 and Jackson’s Indian Removal Bill; 1857 on the eve of the Civil War; 1938 before World War II; and 1965 during the Vietnam escalation. The war in Afghanistan and the problem with Pakistan stand as current dilemmas reflective of this cycle, as does the looming threat poised by Iran and North Korea. The after-effects of war and cold war mentality have also persisted during Mercury years: 1947, 1956, and 1974. Significantly, however, has been the rise of America as world leader after World War II and Korea. Vietnam, although a defeat that led to military apathy, gave rise to American ingenuity and cultural developments, including expanded civil rights.
The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803 and the Louisiana Purchase also took place in a Mercury year – appropriate tributes to the mentally stimulating nature of this planet. Advances in knowledge, communication, and commerce are, therefore, likely during the current Mercury year. We will witness in the latter half of 2010 and first half of 2011 new discoveries, important inventions, radicalization of segments of society, a rise in organized crime and business corruption.
Much will be revealed to the public about the inner workings of government and commerce. Monumental government policies will be made that affect business (banking reforms) and require individual and family decisions (new tax codes). There will be a colossal amount of data collected by agencies based on these new regulations. New fronts in the War on Terrorism will be opened. The mid-year elections will be especially polarizing with radical elements bent on upsetting the entire political system. News will be worthy, and there will be plenty of it.
July 2011-July 2012 is a Jupiter year. Major economic reforms and initiatives are likely during this period as have happened in the past: the 16th Amendment in 1913 beginning the federal income tax and the establishment of the Federal Reserve by President Wilson. Also in a previous Jupiter year the radical Republican Reconstruction Act of 1866 took place. Higher taxes and reduced social benefits are likely this time. There will also be a radical change in governmental policy in order to reign in big government, reduce the national debt, and stimulate the economy.
