Portions of this forecast will soon be found on the website but are now published in Swing Magazine, a quarterly magazine which is specifically geared toward celebrating the lifestyles of the active adult. As part of their purpose, a generous portion of all proceeds generated by Swing Magazine support The Celebrate Life Foundation. This non-profit organization was established to improve the quality of life for underserved, mature adults through arts and entertainment.

"That is why there is no other publication like Swing. We don’t just address aging; we address living. We encourage a generation of dreamers to keep dreaming and never stop asking the question, “what next?” From opening a new business to running a marathon, we believe that the next half century of your life is the time to do it. And with every page of each issue, we focus on getting the body, mind and spirit ready for the challenge. To that end, it doesn’t matter who you are—your race, your religion, your preferences or your beliefs—if you are 45 plus, we’re talking to you. Our purpose is to deliver the latest information on topics that affect the individual journey and the collective community of mature adults across the country."

Happy New Year! This is going to be a year of BUILDING & PREPARING for a brand new future ... within and without. Notice I did not say “RE-building” ~ that is because this is brand new territory. We are not rebuilding anything, we are creating all things anew ... with the consciousness, experience and technology we have created or attained throughout the years. We have experienced unprecedented shifts in the last 2 to 20 to 40 to 100+ years building up toward 2012, a pivotal time in Earth’s 26,000 year cycle. At that time, several major cycles converge simultaneously, hence the intensity and rapid transformation we have been experiencing.

January opens with quite a bit of Capricorn and Aquarius energy, that suggests that everyone has got responsibility and the community on their minds. Capricorn is the lesson of being responsible for your actions and doing the necessary work to make a significant contribution to society. However, ‘society’ has shifted dramatically so figuring this out is challenging, though worth the effort. You are tremendously supported if you release trying to make the ‘old ways’ work in the new era. Aquarius energy is the lesson of detachment, understanding the larger perspective and creative (unique) solutions.

That all being said, we have Saturn freshly Retrograde (pulling back/pulling inward) through Virgo, (healing, discernment and purification of the systems) supporting a serious review of your structural foundation - literally/physically as well as metaphorically, the structural foundation of your life in general. You will be continuously confronted with decisions to make and postponing them only makes them harder, so you will have better results to deliberate for a brief time then take decisive action to consolidate or expand wherever your reality needs it the most.

And the bonus is Mercury Retrogrades through Capricorn and Aquarius. I strongly recommend waiting till February 1st before taking any of the actions you decide upon. Use January as a review of your resources and set the tone for the year 2009 with strong, positive intentions that you are committed to seeing manifest. Mercury rules our thoughts and ideas, and when Retrograde, it is a review of those specifically. The reason this planet gives us so much trouble with technology at this time, is because we are only supposed to be communicating with Self and Spirit. That is the time to give technology a rest and give telepathy a try!

Mars gets in on the action this season. Mars rules our energy, passion and desire nature and it is revving things up with transformative Pluto in January. These two planets getting together is going to intensify your Lower Will and Spirit’s Higher Will. You can use this energy to make a firm commitment to change, or have “what you want” dramatically changed for you. I suggest you set some intentions and use that creative fire to breath life in to your NEW dreams and desires. February, Mars is getting together with Jupiter, the planet of your “story”, your “truth”, expansion and abundance. Watch this one for signs of over-confidence. Use this energy to again, dig deep within your Being, and connect with your deepest desire for your life and what that deepest truth will look like, then ground your intentions.

We had a major infusion of energy last felt 1965-1967 and activated again in 1988 (40yrs) and again this year (2008-2010). It is a two year process of balancing and integrating traditional and progressive. It is time to strengthen and fortify that which IS working in society, and cut our losses with that which is NOT working in society ... all while ALLOWING expansion of thought, word and deed to create room for creative solutions and breakthroughs on all levels. There is a time when ‘protection’ turns in to ‘prison’ and it is time to inhale your own authority, be responsible for your own energy and create a life that fulfills you and serves others. This two year process (transition) will set the tone for the next 40 years (with a test in 20 years likely).

The beginning of 2009 is tremendously supported for broadening your vision, while clearing the past and grounding the foundation of your life because EXPANSION is here and you need to stabilize whatever you can. This is still considered Winter in this hemisphere, so restoration of your life force energy, replenishment of your resources, silence & solitude are all greatly encouraged, highly recommended and very well supported.
