2011

From November 3, 2010 to October 28, 2011, we are entering the 7th and last day of the Mayan Calendar. No particular configuration marks that chart, meaning that we have freedom of choice in this one before last chance for enlightenment before 2012.

In Chinese Astrology, February 3, 2011- January 22, 2012 is the year of the Rabbit. It’s usually a very quiet year during which we can lick the wounds created by the year of the Tiger (2010) and rest. International affairs are marked by diplomacy and our personal lives are more tranquil. Money can be obtained without too much effort. There is a sense of peace and harmony. We can once again enjoy life and take things in strides.

Numerologically, this is a 4 year (2+0+1+1=4). A year of stability, order and dependability. We could work with much persistence, in a very methodical way that is marked by integrity and dependability. A corner-stone year.

Rune of the year: Berkana/Right Action. We need to become very clear in our thoughts, words and actions, come from a place of high integrity and great inner peace. The more we are present from moment to moment, following the dictates of our heart and conscience, the clearer and the more appropriate our reactions will be in any given circumstance.
