Monthlies 2009

January
We enter 2009 after a very busy and powerful Christmas vacation. Plans that have been considered are now on their way. There have been recent opportunities to restructure your thoughts, habits, work, and health. Hopefully, you are ready to implement after the New Year gets started! This year is about saying goodbyes to old realities. There will be lots of opportunities to show your love and passions. So, what are you waiting for? You'll want to begin before the full moon on the 10th. If starting new plans doesn't work out this month, there will be a window of time beginning next month. Look for the New Moon.

Mercury goes retrograde from the view of the Earth from January 10- Feb 1st. This is a time NOT to sign, buy, sell, divorce, marry, or fly if you can avoid it! Usually, all the information is not available at the time; you can expect delays in travel and communication problems. If you have to do the above, just watch, observe and learn, so you can understand better the language of the heavens. Of course, this is a good time to redo, review old plans, writings, communications etc.

February
This is a busy month, especially the end of the month. Change is on the way. Optimism is easier to come by. Compassion steps in. Use the energy out there to make new plans first half of month. In fact, this is a great month to build toward long term changes in your life. First week, thoughts of restructuring life seems easier. Nevertheless, you'll be ask to address the weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Serve the whole. Get out and make some friend. This is a good month for love, money and artistic expressions. Nevertheless, there is a passion in the air that can lead to cut offs. I would suggest that you lean to altruism, socializing and the unusual.

March
This is a tricky month for other's plans conflicting with your own. The concept of giving is not as easy this month. There are plenty of opportunities to listen to your gut. Relations are cooling and/or withdrawing until mid-April. Expect power and control issues the second half of March. You can't shove a square peg in a round hole! Watch finances. You may be overspending or money is held back. Nevertheless, this too shall pass. Whew! What a roller-coaster ride of changes yet to come. This is not a good month for cosmetic make-over's because Venus, the planet of beauty in retrograde from the perspective of Earth.

April
Is there a rainbow after the storm? Intense ambitions mixed with control arise this month. It would seem that help is on the way for the vulnerable as well as the vulnerable area of your life. A good time to get away, take a vacai… would be April 3- 5th. The 7- 15th, you can gain support for your plans. The 12- 18th, is an accident prone time, so take it easy. I would anticipate cut-offs and break-up energy. This is not a good time for cosmetic surgeries, wait until after the 18th-. That is because Venus is retrograde. It's a buyer's market if it weren't for the aesthetics and upkeep. All month there is a tendency to judge others harshly. Expect some embarrassing moments with loved ones. This lingers until mid-May.

May
Most of the month of May, we can expect communication foul-ups and mishaps. Allow extra time to get where you are going because Mercury will be retrograde from May 7-31. This is a time NOT to sign, buy, sell, divorce, marry, or fly if you can avoid it! Usually, ALL the information is not available at the time; you can expect delays in travel and communication problems. If you have to do the above, just watch, observe and learn, so you can understand better the language of the heavens. Of course, this is a good time to redo, review old plans, writings, communications etc.

I would anticipate some newsworthy events with the full story hard to get. It's easy to be popular this month. The question is what do you want to be known for? Leadership shows signs of weakness. Taxation may be a theme behind the scenes. Actually, there are signs of weakness all over the world. If you can, it is best to postpone major decisions at this time. A peculiar planetary line-up steps in place this May. My interpretation would be to check technology twice.

The first half of the month is a good time to work with authority, your reputations can shine. Also, caring for the elderly is highlighted. Mid-month, you can expect problems for leadership- this includes parents, teachers, business owners, presidents and CEO's. The second half of the month is a good time to gain support for your plans.

June
Leadership is under such stress this month. The projected problems from 2007 on the economy and war are now more obvious. This is a good time for a vacation with stable relationships. Your plans are likely to be memorable. Any emotional upsets and disturbances can be helped by that tried and true friend or family member. Yes, there is a war zone out there this month. At the same time, a very creative and optimistic month marked with maverick-like tendencies. So, who are the mavericks? It's like saying 'some people do better under stress'. I would like to say an evolution is due in the information technology sector or should I say, "ur kids want a new fone?" Passion, even compulsiveness can arise this month under unusual circumstances from the 19th -27th. This could be around money, things, love, values, religion or otherwise. Expect this energy to co-exist with the rest as a back drop to this month. Oh Holy Wars!

July
Try to have a philosophical outlook. We keep getting these shocks or wake-up calls for change. This can be a good month to gain through your efforts and work. Yes, it looks like worry that steps in. It may be covered with sarcasm. Are we talking 'taxes'? Is there a treaty being worked on to pull out of war? Are you able to reconcile the differences in your life? Use those flashes of intuition to your benefit. Above all, this is a good time to put effort into staying calm as the heat keeps rising into August. There is a tendency to spend and beautify more as the month moves on. Relationships go out of bounds, too.

August
This is an irritating month. Hard work is required. The temperatures run hot. Relations are way out there. Emotional upsets are likely. The on-going -as well as -developing saga on restructuring, the potential war and financial heartaches continues. We are likely to encounter some unfriendly circumstances. Depression is not out of the question. Faith and optimism continues to shine on American leaders to make the right decisions. These are maverick-like changes continue. Money will be spent this month, unavoidable. Taxes might be a hot topic. On the positive side, expect some breakthroughs in technology and sciences; revolutionary work.

September
It would seem that those in need, the vulnerable, are getting help. It looks like the aggressive aspects carried over from last month will begin to calm toward the end of this month. Expect travel delays, communication problems from September 7-29th. Allow extra time to get where you are going. Mercury goes retrograde from the view of the Earth. This is a time NOT to sign, buy, sell, divorce, marry, or fly if you can avoid it! Usually, all the information is not available at the time; you can expect delays in travel and communication problems. If you have to do the above, just watch, observe and learn, so you can understand better the language of the heavens. Of course, this is a good time to redo, review old plans, writings, communications etc.

The last half of September, it really is time to think about your future, not the past. Finally, I think this month calls for patience and discipline.

October
Newsworthy events come to the fore with long term plans underway this month. In the 1st week, I see financial disappointments and adjustments with homes and family matters. It's a drain. After the 11th, authority, leadership and status are put into stressful situations. This includes parents as well! Leadership does come in to help those in need, but it's like working with adolescent children. If you are in a position of authority, patience is likely a key. There are some good days to make some money and sign this month! Check it out.

November
A good month to move forward with those changes you want. This is astrologically a good time to act. There may be a tendency to overspend this month. There are some decent dates to sign in November amongst a bit of an unclear backdrop. Make sure you check all the facts. It's also a month for exercise to get rid of the aggressiveness that seems to pop up. Some restraining will be necessary. There are some good party dates. The month ends with desires up!

December
Diplomacy is a really a good idea the first half of this month. It just seems like selfishness and ego can get in the way of some really altruistic statements or moments and that just plain ruins it. OUCH! Desire and passions go against the grain. Mistakes are possible 8th-22. I've included some good days to Christmas shop. I hope this helps to plan your month.

Mercury goes retrograde from the view of the Earth on December 26. This is a time NOT to sign, buy, sell, divorce, marry, or fly if you can avoid it! You CAN return those unwanted Christmas presents. Usually, all the information is not available at the time; you can expect delays in travel and communication problems. If you have to do the above, just watch, observe and learn, so you can understand better the language of the heavens. Of course, this is a good time to redo, review old plans, writings, communications etc.

 

 

 


A New World Order Begins.

  • The U.S. New President - Obama- Infuses US with Faith
  • A New Direction
  • Restoring Respect
  • Inflation/Taxation
  • Wars/ Treaties
  • Hardships For Business Leaders
  • Controlling the Economic Tsunami
  • Socialize and Offer Random Acts of Kindness


(November, 3, 2008)
It's the day before the US elections. Obama is ahead in the polls, and in my research from 2007 for 2008, I wrote on-line, "This time the vote does not look close. It will be obvious before the election who is the winner and it will be just a matter of formalities." So, I'm betting that it is Obama since he has a good lead.

Now let me change direction and bring you on a journey of what the planets are whispering for 2009 and beyond.

A New Direction
The day of the elections marks a complete change of course for the United States. It looks like there will be a drive to clean house and to get rid of the inflated government as well as business and to restore it. It will be just the beginning of a new era where new thinking is required. There will be many changes toward A New World Order that will take time, several years in fact. We are likely to see a complete restructuring of governments around the world over the next decade. There has been such an abuse of power; it leaves a bad taste.

Restoring Respect
Obama is likely going to infuse faith back into the system. I believe the economy and markets will rally their best against a poor economic outlook the first half of 2009. Obama and his cabinet will likely not have the same executive privileges that Bush had. I see the power shifting toward Congress. We all must watch being ambitious to a fault. Our government may begin to look more toward Socialism and a government that takes more control. Nevertheless, Americans will regain a sense of spirit and direction in 2009.

Times continue with uncertainty and this does not help leadership to stand tall. Obama will have to fight the watered down or weak world image that Bush has left behind the last half of this year. The strength of the next leadership is in pulling together the voice of the people to make change and to address the wounds of the time. Americans are looking for inspiration and dreams to come from the next president. Obama can lead the people, but he will also create opposition.

Inflation/Taxation
I see inflation. The last time the planets lined up like this was in 1740 where in France the price of grains sky rocketed. The people cried out. They charged that the minister Orry was making "a million a week" and warned than if it continued they would burn his house and he would be killed for making bread so expensive. (Wikipedia, 2009.)

I suppose some positive news about the economy the first quarter in 2009 may put secret plans in motion the 2nd quarter that is likely to eventually tax the American people. Treaties may be worked on behind the scenes to pull out of Iraq. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. We won't know the full story on this until the 2nd week in May 2009; even then it might be hard to get the whole truth. Either way, we can expect an adrenaline rush for the American people the 2nd week of May. And, that's putting it nicely. By end of May, the optimism is likely to turn to inflation. Socialism rears its head mixed with a conservative and authoritarian stance. Times are tough for leaders.

Wars/Treaties
Treaties have begun to show up to end wars, but not until 09 and beyond will the treaties begin to stick. This will cause other wars. There are similarities between 2008-9 and 1763 that I would like to mention. It was a time when the French and Indian War was coming to an end. It was also a time when the Treaty of Paris drawn. This treaty ended the war where France ceded Canada to Great Britain. Also, the Treaty of Hubertusburg which put an end to the Seven Year War between Prussia and Austria. A movement has begun that is unstoppable. The Seven Years War was the precipice for The American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence.

In English, this war with Iraq may be scaling down, but as it does a bigger war is just a few years away. Quite simply, a world war awaits. It is years away where many countries are pulled in by land or conviction. It looks like the leaders of Nato, USA, Canada, China, Cambodia, Venezuela, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Philipines, Italy, Ireland, are all involved somehow in the crisis that has yet to present itself. In the meantime I ponder these questions given the data infront of me....

Could a world economic tsunami cause war? What country would be most upset if we started drilling in Alaska? What countries or people would be unhappy with the US president from 2013-2016 that would attack? Why?

Iran 2009
Astrological influences indicate Iran continues to build their forces. Iran's homeland is very unstable and unsettled now. Astrological echoes in history bring me to 1978-9 and the Iranian Hostage Crisis. It was when Iran went from a monarchy rule to be taken over by Ayatollah Khomeni and the Council of Islamic Revolution. The Ayatollah put in motion an Iranian Revolution that would lead away from western ideologies. The Shah sought refuge in the U.S. and the Ayatollah wanted him to stand trial. In response, President Carter refused and put the US on gas rations while US relations with Iran deteriorated. Also, the British Embassy in Iran was attacked. I would expect more crises to develop between these two governing ideologies.

Another astrological echo would be American Embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. It was in 1996 when Osama declared jihad against Americans and later bombed those American Embassies. Today, I think we can include foreign based American hotels, too.

Terror aspects this year are nothing to what I see further into the future FOR INSIDE THE US. July-September 2009 will tell us more with a peak in August 2009. The economy and weather are included.

More Immediate Wars

Zimbabwe approaches a revolution and change of leadership. The current president is likely to be overthrown within the next 3 years.

Mozambique a coup? A war? What's with these two countries?

Tunisian leaders face pressure to change. Upheavals in leadership that upset the masses likely over the next few years.

Mali and Ethiopia leaderships face a new way of thinking, under new conditions.

Argentinians are fired up about their leader. The pressure is on for her to make change.

New Zealand faces change in leadership and a change in their known realities for how business is done. Time will tell. Limitations placed on next leader.

Hardships For Business Leaders
This is not the year to be a business owner, CEO or president of a company. Buckle down and make a plan. It's about cleaning house. Currently, we are in the middle of watching a domino effect from the mortgage meltdown to Lehman Bros where the CEO made over 450 million a year and had no bonus packages set up for his employees (CNBC). Then, there are the Wachovia Banks that have seized to a 70 billion dollar bailout package from the Federal Reserve for Wall Street because of the mortgage melt down crisis. And, they say this is just the beginning of the economic woes. It will last the next several years. The astrological data supports this economic forecast.

The Economic Tsunami
A student of mine came to see me the other day, she said, "Carrie, in 2000 you said that there would be a recession in 2008 and that it would be just the beginning." I said, "I remember, I am surprised how bad it has already hit. No, actually I am in shock, because it's just the beginning of the next 4 year cycle."

My husband who is very involved in the stock market and a skeptic of astrology, remarked recently that the market was forming the potential to move 2000 points in any direction, something he had never seen before. He couldn't figure out which way it would likely go. I said, "Down, when you add in the astrological data…. Quite simply…. Down!" We are still debating the subject.

The Great Depression
Yes, everyone is talking about how 2008 looks like the Great Depression. Sure enough, the same planets that were in difficult aspects to one another then, are moving into a closer formation even as I write. This will continue into 2009 and they will dance together until 2015. This past September and October '08, these planets came closest to one another for the first time, and every time the transiting Moon touched this formation with planets stationing, the market dropped. It dropped between 400-800 points!

The next president, likely Obama, inherits a host of problems that no one man can fix. A complete overhaul of the government, Federal Reserve especially, is upon us.

So, my research suggests inflation and depression loom in the background. Our attitude about the economy and work leans toward the negative.

Socialize and Offer Random Acts of Kindness
Hardships are obvious. There is a drive from business leaders to get out of the rut. Big businesses have a tough year ahead.
Our careers, reputations, responsibilities and boundaries stand out in '09. Restructuring our lives may be at the core of all our decisions now. Our need to cut back and be disciplined may be intertwined into our New Year's resolutions. Changes have to happen now. Even, how we see life is changing. The planets are cajoling us very slowly to think differently over the next few years.

Most of 2009 there will be opportunities to help those in need. Domestic animals are included! This is where leadership can shine. In our own lives, we may find that we are getting help for our own weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Perhaps just being helpful, helps us to shine.

This is a good year to socialize and make friends. Join a group that is sensitive to your needs. This is a time frame to change your priorities. Two thousand and eight was about discovering our vulnerabilities and our weaknesses, e.g., the 'ouch' in your life, or in the system? This year is about getting help in those areas.

Conclusion for 2009
The questions for 2009 become; what changes do you need to make in your life? What area do you need to clean up? What fears do you need to address? Where do you have to cut back? Where do you need to take control? When do you speak up to have your voice heard? Who is there to listen? As an astrologer looking into the planetary dance, these are the questions that I see developing in 2009 for all. For 2009, it's K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple, St%&@#!

Foreword
This calendar has been written for and dedicated to my clients and students who are often looking for the best days to buy, sell or sign
. Quite often, I receive a call from clients wanting a good date to get married, sign, sell or by some expensive item, e.g., a house, a car etc. I am hoping that this calendar can make it easier for everyone! This year I have included some pleasant dates to vacation.

How to use this calendar: consider this calendar a little companion to tuck away in your briefcase, next to the telephone, or in your desk for when you have to make that quick decision, like scheduling an appointment or when to fly to avoid pitfalls of lost luggage and delays. I have worked hard to take out the astrology language so that everyone can use it, especially during these challenging economic times!

Sign. When you see, "sign" anywhere in the calendar, these are good dates that include buying and selling unless otherwise indicated. There is just not enough room to write it all in the little space.

Eastern Time. This calendar has been calculated for the East Coast of the United States. You'll have to do your own math to recalculate if this calendar is used anywhere else.

Eclipses. I would like to share a little secret on how to use the energy of the planets to your advantage. The day after any New Moon eclipse is a good time to initiate long-term changes in your life- a new job, a new diet etc. Make your list, light a candle, say it out loud and plant a tree, or a potato as conviction to your plan. Do it outside the day after the eclipse. It works, even if your kids or dog digs up the potatoes and brings them to you. It's about intention! :-)

On the other hand, a Full Moon eclipse is a time to rid yourself of things that you no longer want or need in your life. For the Full Moon eclipse, make a list of those things (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs etc.), say it out loud, burn the written wish and then flush it down the toilette. This should be done the night before the Moon is full, outside. With both new and full moons, try to include the 4 elements- fire (candle), earth (dirt or salt), air (say it out loud), water. Lastly, these should be thoughts that you have been thinking and working toward for at least 6 weeks prior to the eclipses. So how bad do you want it? Good Luck!

This is a significant year for eclipses. We have SIX eclipses this year to the usual 4: January 26(new), February 9(full), July 7(full), July 22(new), August 6(full), and December 31(full). My experience with having a lot of eclipses in one year tells me that this is a significant year of change. No doubt, we have a new president with a new agenda. And, the world faces a weak market, businesses will suffer. I would anticipate huge changes in everyone's lives- a domino effect.


The perfect date? It is important to realize that there are NO perfect dates, just better days than others. And, that is what makes it so perfect!

Do the planets control us? NO! They set the stage; you have to decide how to act. Karma pending...
