2001, A Shocking Year
by Danielle Daoust and Mary-Anne Alvaro

In the Chinese system of astrology, this is the year of the Snake - a great symbol of transformation. Snake tells us this is time for thinking, evaluation, inspiration, pleasure and creativity, but a time also of secrets, sudden strikes, building and build up, a time to gather and fortify.

Numerologically, we have a "3" year, a year potentially of divine inspiration, but this three comes from a 2, two 0's, and a 1, each of which has some real significance in terms of understanding the energy of this time... The two is the Millennium number and since it lasts for 1000 years, energetically, it has a much smaller influence over the specific year. The 1 represents the opening, a time of self-centeredness, a period when all is unrealized potential... but we see little change, only signs of change to come... "something" is forming around that larger 2 vibration, but we know not what yet... The 0's speak to a time of scarcity, demand outweighs the supply, and all together, the 3 tells us that if we are individually mindful and cautious, if we will take pleasure in the simple joys of life, we can quietly prosper in these times.
The up side of the story for 2001 is that while trouble may be brewing in the big picture, most of us should find that this is a year when we can relax and have a little fun. Look for some truly great films, with the emphasis on music, dance and laughter. Watch for some inspired works to appear this year - and for inspiration to strike in a very personal way. Psychic activity is likely to be high - and strong - with more and more folks coming out into the open about paranormal events in their private lives.
Editor's Note... and so we saw movies like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings... and Bridget Jones' Diary...
Still, despite the up side, we sense a growing fear on every level of our society and from every corner of the globe... we may not be talking much about it yet, still pooh poohing the futurists and wishing to ignore the prophecies for this time and the signs that they are manifesting. However, the time is nigh when we cannot ignore the signals. Many folks are wary about the prevailing - and highly disturbing - undercurrent of building tensions, environmentally, economically and politically.
Editor's Note: The Attack on America of 911 was a world wake up call!!! The above statements seem a little ominous now...
Remarks from last year's report apply also to this year:
"While some folks may deal with these times by stocking up on dry goods and water and heading for the hills, I think the only way to really protect ourselves now is to start living from our hearts, to take responsibility for our creations, to be honest about our values, fears and needs... to get "home", real, and into loving - ourselves and others.
This will be the time to stand back from our judgments, to search for purpose and meaning in every event that affects our lives, and to respond with all the love we can muster... Best wishes and Lotsa LLLove, Danielle
Tones of the Times
General Trends
NotesWe're in the throes of massive changes, an inevitable process. Really looking at a "clump of years" – hard to read each one separately. A year of inevitable surprises – we know they are coming, yet they still take us by surprise. A lot of anxiety around the future, people sensing danger ahead. A sense of desperation for some folks. Not an easy year to work on personal dreams – everything is moving too quickly.
Some event before the end of winter, by early spring latest that will upset the apple cart again. Technical or missile failures attached to the war efforts, as the war machine continues to gear up around the globe.
Could be a new male on the global front, a powerful visionary, a new world leader, probably coming from Europe. This should be a strong year economically in Europe… Euro-dollar continues to gain strength, performs well – note that fits with the biblical end times prophesies… Rome rising again – the old provinces re-uniting.July, August, September may see the significant changes of the year.
It could be in August when the US enters a new field of battle, or is invaded in some way – perhaps with bio warfare.At home, we see more and more a return to family values – or being pushed out of the nest…
Could be a year for inspired marriages, folks finding their soul mates, lots of love and romance… and lots of moving around… moving business may find things picking up…We'll be taking shorter trips, with the emphasis on local travel. This will probably be a year of holding back for individuals, folks biding their time…
On the Weather Front - Hot Spots
A hot dry year, storm watching every month, especially in the spring seasons. Volcanic activity, strong in the Pacific, a huge explosion from the Ocean floor
Pacific Ocean some serious problems… el nino, again, wild life and sea life at greater risk than ever…
Philippines a major focus, not only because of the level of terrorist activity, but because of environmental issues – the gods of the Philippines angry with what the country is doing???
Australia again suffering from climate problems, fires, drought.
Also something in the High Arctic, some sort of joint venture between the US and Russia to deal with the problem… perhaps also including Canada.
Earthquake in Japan, rather serious, more to come.
Asian problems become more marked, currency scandals may develop. Especially in the US, too much money printed, something being falsely propped up. A gold scandal?
Economically…
Recession continues. Economic reports are initially hopeful, but the truth is, profits and production are declining world-wide, and in almost every industry. Many attempts are made to bolster the sagging economy, we try and try and try again. Sadly, this isn't the story of the Little Train That Could. A lot is spent on getting things back to previous levels, but industry is still suppressed, the public still shy. We end the year more anxious than ever about our personal and global prosperity.
We see instability around air travel in general – not from terrorist activity but mechanical problems, issues like finding stow-aways. "Murphy's Law" takes hold in the travel and tourism business and the industry continues to see declines, bankruptcies among well-known players.
Some of the staid industries, like insurance, utilities, some of the blue chip companies, begin breaking down, but under the surface… insurance business hangs in but rates continue to rise as more and more pay-outs are required – many of them weather-related.
Stock market will be "strange", periods when things appear to be improving, but there are very real dangers lurking. At the end of the day, people are playing it safe.
War machine is moving into a higher gear as the year progresses… they may ask for more funding, battles are moving into different regions… the Middle East Hot spot spread, takes more and more of our attention, and the battle begins to get mean. ….
A false victory is declared… war gets incrementally worse… uglier, but gradually, over a period of a few years.
Ossama could be dead – he appears to have been disempowered, cut off from many of his resources. But still appears to be surrounding him a loyal following. He is not brought to justice, at least not this year, nor found. And while he may have been pushed deeply underground, he has allies that will help him to maintain at least a semblance of power. I feel that he and his henchmen have not had their final word. They expected the US to come after them.
New alliances will be formed in the fight against terrorism, but are not to be trusted. There could be a close call around bio-warfare. – but a lot of anxiety there may prove to be unfounded. Yet there are insidious methods of warfare exploited now, we can't stop being fearful – much of it appears to be a psychological game, with the media being used unwittingly.
Attention is refocused on Iraq. And we are wary of relations between Pakistan and India, and again warn of China's dark role in the upcoming conflicts.
Money will be asked for health care in all parts of the world. We see a scandal in Canada, perhaps already brewing, may be about health care, the two-tiered system continues to rear its ugly head…
In the US
There could be an assassination attempt on Bush late in the year. North America could be dealing with power shortages in some parts of the country again- we see general problems with utilities.
Weather extremes, but more drought.
The sense is that "The countdown is on… We are very concerned about economic recovery, it is just not happening. We hear a lot of analysis, but no decisions… We just can't figure out why things aren't working the way they "should.".
Something in the works this year in the field of technology that a few years from now could see a resurgence of tech stocks and the Web gets more attention…
Growth is steady, especially in retail sales.
Still. some folks are experiencing some real losses in 2002. Many people are looking back, feeling their lives have been changed irrevocably. We fear that we will never return to the "good old days".There are still some big shocks coming, especially in the world of finance… we are witnessing the end of a cycle, but folks don't get it, we need to look at new ways but folks hang on to the old ways.
Around the globe, we see whole populations on the move. Individually, we are more transient than usual.
2002 is a very fast year, and we end it still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Yet there is strength in some places…
