2010 Overleaves & Forecast

Continued - Page 3

Pragmatism being the assimilative attitude, can slide or activate all others: skeptics, idealists, realists, cynics, and spiritualists will all characterize their own positions and making their positions known with the subsequent actions clash each asserting to be the most rational problem solvers. This leads to frustration the negative pole of Impatience. And when it join forces with the Pragmatist, especially under the pointed and often derisive quality of their negative poles (intolerance and dogma), look for dismissal and ridicule to be the arrows of first attack in war of obstructionism. All of these conflicts enhances Stubborn entrenchment. This next period of history will show that it is difficult to get things done on any scale but direct personal or small group action. This year's Intellectual part the Kinesthetic Center will not cast new ideas out for exploration and consideration, at least on the national level, nope there will continue to be the rehashing of worn-out-dogma-fermented effete long ago ossified in the slag heap of worthless punditry.

 

The Guardian and Child sub-personalities of the human race, manifesting the Spiritualist attitude and the Priest role will call for the raising of a new savior. Truth be told, the world needs Saviors like the Earth needs more holes in the Ozone layer. Whether they might be Richard Dawkins, Barack Obama, Lou Dobbs, or Sarah Palin, .it is time for everyone to pitch-in, just a bit, and do the repairing that needs to happen. To be so "convicted" that one must ride forth on the steed of zealotism, under the banner of some divinely or deviously inspired sentiment of righteousness , is the extremism that is tearing the human race into more hysterical factions.

 

Equally bizarre are the new extremes being asserted as the battle for who owns God. That argument enters into the realm of some grotesque charade even more bizarre than anything yet imagined. Hallelujah to those of genuine spiritual principles who will grasp the fallacious calculation underlying the declarations of both sides and recognize the grandstanding of people doing the most shouting. Grandiosity and reliance upon symbols has got to go! So has dogma of all sorts! But each aspect will cling stubbornly.

 

Masculine - Feminine Ratio: 30% - 70% - Encourages one to open to new possibilities that come to you and not have to make them happen as is the Yang signature way. There are those that believe that "getting things done" is the realm of the masculine. Nothing could be further from the truth. The masculine is the dam and the feminine is the water. Together they create hydro-electric power. A rivers flow is continuous and erodes, moves, and shapes the course of the banks and cuts the channels. Volume and momentum created from the downhill flow of gravity (feminine) are at least equal if not more powerful forces than those created by explosion (masculine). With a 70% portion of Yin energy, this is the first year of many in which males (who are the physical representation of Yang energy) could feel the necessity of getting healing. Bathed in Yin energy both their resistance and ability to hide or avoid their masculine wounds is diminished and intervention will be the option for many. For those who continue to avoid themselves, these men will show signs of breakdown, aggravation, isolation, and a turn to addictive sex. This channel has found no better place for healing the wounded masculine than the ManKind Project. Women of a masculine energy balance will feel equally imbalanced and need to reclaim the power of her femininity which, in the name of women's liberation has taken on many of the worst traits of men including exploiting their own sexuality for profit. The Woman Within Workshop is held by powerful women exploring the sacred feminine in a feminine way.

 

Frequency: 80 - Can you say, "Cat on a hot tin roof?" Few will escape the general irritability present this year as life "heats-up" around Economics, Environment, and Politics. Tipping Point, anyone? The hyper-frenetic energy beginning as far back as November, frayed parts of people's personalities and stock markets and store fronts all showed the effects. Many folks are ready to burst out and run with desire to making fresh things happen. There is as much need to believe that the fear of collapse is over. But this year's mode of Caution clashes with the high frequency putting people on edge! Anxiety will be at an all time high while people strain to keep the false smile on their faces wanting to be positive. It is off to the races this year!

 

Needs:

• Acceptance - Accept the way things are and forgive yourself for the past.
• Expansion - Make new social connections and be open to new possibilities.
• Exchange - Find ways to give of yourself and your authentic gifts and skills.

 

Medicine and Science: A terrific year for new breakthroughs and new ideas of how to approach disease. Cancer research will announce several new ways to approach the problem from injury and inflammation to understanding the role of toxicity in cell disruption. The only real hurdle facing the exploration and development of many of the new ideas will be the roadblocks erected by the "medicine for profit" ethos held by big business and which governs the research dollars at universities as well. Many a promising breakthrough is liable to die out or put on hold as corporate motives reflect on the decline of profits in the new era of constricted medical commerce. The new health care bill will do little or nothing to spur pharmaceutical innovation but it will give people even greater incentive to take pills instead of get healthy. OY!

 

Liver disease and diabetes are two high profile representatives of cultural specific body dysfunctions that have proliferated under the food choices made by Americans. Look to see a big upsurge in information attacking or at least questioning much of the food and preparation of the American diet.

 

Economic: Greater industrialization in China and Europe will move them toward greener technologies and put them far ahead of the curve in both cutting emissions and the advancement away from oil. Solar panels, arrays and transfer systems, will drop in price and Chinese made varieties will begin to flood the American markets allowing more people to afford the possibility of installing less expensive energy systems. In spite of this fact, there will be more subsidization of power companies from the US gov't to save them from decline in demand and protect them from the cost of replacing old technologies with new. Instead of new building and production in the geographic US, there is still likely to be more "outsourcing" of jobs but increase in prices of high end homes. Throughout the world, corporations and governments alike strive to further consolidate their powers. At this social strata the perception of invincibility is high.

 

Employment: People who perform high-tech jobs in businesses will continue to have safe employment. However, the substitution automation causes these people to be in demand especially in the realm of computer programming and network security. It gives firms more control over an already stressed work force. Manufacturing and construction will remain flat and even decline in many areas of the world where established infrastructure has plenty of supply. Rising unemployment in the US will not be reported as people fall off the roles, but showing what will be called a decline. In Europe and China , more public sector job creation will occur exerting a more balanced and buoyed affect on their economies.

 

Financial Markets improve as many higher income folks enter into the real estate market and pump prime this sector by arm-wrestling the government to give more beneficial terms to buyers. Additionally, the bankers have once again gathered the reigns of control of Wall Street. The Dow will rise past 11,000 this year and possible 11,500 in one scenario. The average investor, feeling buoyed by perceptions that their retirement accounts are stabilizing and even growing will begin a new round of consumption. For most of the year until the mid-terms elections in November people will believe that their futures were reestablished will add to the upward swing in the market and provide a signal that the recession is over. WRONG! Most companies will be trading credit and continuing to hide their indebtedness on balance sheets. Transparency is not here yet! If you can save, do so!

 

Technology: Everyone will love the further application of electronics and machinery to their lives. Fewer tasks will have to be done manually for those who can afford the products. Even wiping ones bum is now mechanized adding opulence to the new bidet. Butt cleaning aside, others will consider new technologies so overblown that a backlash will begin that will last the next 2 years. Many industries continue to automate replacing human beings with machines, computers, and robotic communication portals and thus lessening the actual number of decent paying jobs in both the private and public sector. Efficiency as evaluated financially in a purely time and motion sense, continues to improve. Yet it lacks any social efficacy from a stand point of human fairness and livelihood. Profit, by its very definition is an imbalance! More out - than in? How does that happen? You make it up on paper with many zeroes following and integer. It is frighteningly that simple!
