Every single person has
capabilities, abilities and gifts.
Living a good life depends on

Security Requires Self-Trust

2010 ~ Happy New Year! I am so excited about this new year and all the opportunities indicated by the planetary alignments. In each coming year, we are being led to a new level ... of existence and consciousness. There is nothing to fear but apathy and indecision. I highly recommend taking some time to set some priorities and goals because we are in for fast-paced and magical times. The year initiates with Mercury and Mars Retrograde indicating that our ideas and actions are under review as we launch 2010. And before Mercury goes Direct, Saturn will join them (1/13) so your definition of reality will be revised over the next several months and Jupiter enters Pisces completing a 12-year journey through the zodiac. Consider the next 1-year process to be the *womb* of development of a *new* 12-year Truth/Story, personally and collectively. Because who you are and what you want has changed, your 3-D reality naturally follows so the overall theme this year is to re-structure on many levels ~ in preparation for future forward movement.

This time 1 year ago ... reflect on the "before and after" of 2009! Very poignant!

[Previously ~ 2009 (w. minor edits)]
There is what's called a "Mystical Rectangle", which is a huge *kiss* from the Universe, setting us on this new path and supporting the restructuring we all must do, in such a beautiful way. The Super / Full Moon in Cancer and Sun, still in Capricorn, criss-cross Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces, which is on-going for two years (2008-2010) so we will end up with *several kisses* over 2009 & 2010 (and beyond). The Sun/Moon dynamic is balancing and integrating your inner and outer / private and public selves so they can begin to "match" better (though you may still be at the delicate initiatory stages). The Saturn/Uranus dynamic is balancing and integrating your reality and your consciousness, your physical and spiritual, your body and mind, and the new foundation that will better support you living a more awakened, liberated life that reflects your current Truth & Purpose.

2009: Initiation ~ Release ~ in Preparation For ... the Eternal *NOW*

With so many key and pivotal events this year, I will be doing the one *FREE* Tele-Class each month to cover the biggest aspects and cycles affecting the collective, while writing more articles on the other dynamic energies kicking this year, which are just as relevant but more on an individual level. This first quarter is vital. January thru April are preparing you for a magical and potently creative and healing time come May, June & July is when Jupiter can bring expanded consciousness in the realm of Light, love and the community, as well as Jupiter's signature luck, abundance and expansion. This quarter, make sure you release that which you do not want 'expanded' and made bigger.

JANUARY 2009
Jupiter Enters Aquarius ~ is going to stir things up for sure! Jupiter expands anything it touches, and this year it will be shining its gigantic light on Aquarian issues: humanitarian issues, the community, unconventional solutions, radical theories, objective broad overviews, expanded visions, and individual contributions that make the collective *whole* work better. Keep in mind that it takes Jupiter 12 years to move throughout the zodiac, so this is our chance to expand our individual and collective realms to be more inclusive of all souls, honoring all belief systems as Truth in their own right, and detachment from moral judgments made about things we, perhaps, don't entirely understand.

FEBRUARY 2009
Saturn Oppose Uranus (2 of 5) ~ This is a Collective Activation that will *ping* us 5 times over a 2-year period (2009-2010) and it made me think of the "5-Act Structure" of a theatrical performance. There are many breakdowns and descriptions of the 5-Act Structure ... here's the "Kelly version":

ACT 1 ~ Introduction to the players and establishment of points and possibilities, as well as the time & place
~ Astrologically: INITIATION
~ Nov 4, 2008
ACT 2 ~ Events accelerate, momentum builds, complications and complexities are revealed
~ Astrologically: TEST of what you've learned so far
~ Feb 5, 2009
ACT 3 ~ Climax of action, choices, critical mass & crossroads
~ Astrologically: INTEGRATION, assessment and compromise
~ Sept 15, 2009
ACT 4 ~ Descent, fear (false evidence appearing real), test of faith and reversal of fortunes
~ Astrologically: TEST of the quality of integration
~ Apr 16, 2010
ACT 5 ~ Resolution, transmutation and awakening to a new level of understanding
~ Astrologically: COMPLETION ... in preparation for initiation of a new kind
~ July 26, 2010 / Aries-Libra Axis

MARCH 2009
Venus Retrograde ~ is a blessing that comes approximately every year and a half. We are also amidst an 8-year Venus / Sun Cycle that only happens every 100-200 years, the last being 1882. This year you get to truly RE-Invent Your Self with Venus spending over 4-months in Aries, the sign that rules your Identity and the Infant on the Karmic Wheel. Definitely tune in to Venus through Pisces this year (JAN 3 - FEB 2), as that will feel most certainly like a cosmic womb preparing you to embark on a brand *NEW* leg of your personal, and our collective, journey.

Spring Equinox w. Leilah ~ The four (of eight) Sacred Seasons this year will bring a beautiful collaboration of Kelly's planetary dance and Leilah's celestial guided tour when we can *ALL* connect in the other realms, cultivating peace and harmony to bring back to the 3rd Dimension and share. We love when you are physically with us, and will be planning the events in Florida and Upstate New York. However, you can *ALWAYS* join us energetically and know we hold you in the Light and in every Circle with us.

INAUGURAL *MOJO*
And finally, as we approach the US inauguration of Barack Obama, to also encourage you to visualize this transition to include Capricorn's solid, responsible and cool energy, infused for about 60 hours prior to the election with potent Scorpio energy, shape-shifting us (individually and collectively) to own and honor Truth as Authority, rather than authority as truth. It is also good to acknowledge here that Ceres, Mercury and Saturn will be retrograde for inauguration suggesting the *PERFECT TIME* to re-vision your life and this country's administration (USA). Ceres in Virgo will assist in cultivating a healing that begins in each heart and expands to all living souls. Mercury in Aquarius will assist with re-thinking our collective definitions of family and community, leading us to a unique resolution that honors the Highest Good for all involved. And Saturn in Virgo, of course, will assist with healing the various systems and re-structuring all the major entities which support community life (government, health care, education etc). Whether you agree with Obama's politics or not, we must send him all the prayers, strength and good energy with rock-solid trust in the Universe to guide and direct his choices, knowing he is only the channel, the face on 'change' ~ he is NOT the Source.

Aries/Taurus 2009 ~ Powerful Week(s) of Change + *FREE* Tele-Class

• Venus Retrograde in Aries
• Venus Direct in Pisces
• Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn
• Mercury Retrograde ~ Gemini/Taurus
• Sun/New Moon in Taurus ~ Full Moon in Scorpio
• Saturn Direct in Virgo

Venus Retrograde in Aries
Venus goes DIRECT this week! (Yay!) Anyone feeling this "turning point" energy? Venus' Retrograde this year has been truly intense and, though we're not totally out of the woods just yet, the intensity should be lifting a bit. Retrogrades are Divine Order ~ they actually present you with an opportunity to review what you are co-creating with the current energies. It is always a perfect time to tune in to see how things are working, how things are moving in the direction of your choosing and make adjustments as needed. Don't be upset when it is time to pull back and review, embrace it, you will be much more productive when it goes forward again.

Venus Direct in Pisces
The key to your ultimate transformation with Venus this week is going to have to do with what you are WILLING TO SACRIFICE for your greater good or the good of all involved or to live a life that reflects your personal, core values. Last week and next week, Venus basically pauses on the final degree or two of Pisces asking you to connect to that which you are sincerely ready to release or complete in your life, whatever is no longer a true reflection of what is important to you. Venus rules what we cultivate, our values and priorities, and those have shifted dramatically in the last 8 years for each of us. How did your *REVIEW* go for the last 6-weeks? Are you ready to integrate the *new* YOU?

Going forward, through Venus' Shadow Period, crossing over the same territory for a third and final pass, you will get to see first-hand what you've created and how you changed and begin to test your new values and the validity of your choices. Honor all of it! The whole Retrograde Process is about "introduction" (to the energy and lessons) ~ "review" (whatever comes to the surface during that time) ~ and "integration" (of new reality, truth and purpose). You've moved to a new level of existence and now you must figure out how to nurture and sustain it. (Bringing us to the next energy of Taurus/Scorpio, which will further anchor your changes.)

Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn
But first things first, the other reason it is so intense is Pluto just went Retrograde for the next several months provoking a deep delving for all. This too is a blessing, however it appears in your life/reality. We know how Pluto is moving the collective along, but as an individual, you should tune in to this energy for a final purge and purification of anything you've neglected, suppressed or allowed to fester and grow toxic in the dark corners of your Being, your Heart or your Mind, for far too long. I know, heavy duty, but you can handle it, one thing at a time, do the best you can and invite your Invisible helpers to assist. Again, choosing to work consciously with the energy will make its journey through whatever part of your chart easier to take and more productive in the end. Pluto is just introducing you to how you must "grow up" over the next 16 years. It's time to pull in and assess how you handle personal and professional responsibility (Capricorn) and if you have heeded the signs to move in to *heart-centered* work, by any means necessary (then Pluto's power is a delicious help). If you have coasted on the backs of others, ignored your own truths and essentially avoided reality on any or many levels, then this will be a tough (but necessary) review and adjustment period. We are going to discuss Pluto's energy in-depth on the *FREE* Tele-Class THIS Thursday, April 16th @ 8:45pm edt. *ALL* are Welcome! If you cannot make it but still want to receive the audio/activations, please Email Kelly your request along with your Birth date / time / place.

Mercury Retrograde ~ Gemini/Taurus
More food for thought this week ... is that we are entering the Shadow Period for the upcoming Mercury Retrograde when it will briefly initiate Gemini (ideas, thoughts, concepts and communication) before it spends most of its 3+ week Retrograde Period moving back through Taurus, showing you where your ideas need to be grounded and practical ~ as well as ~ sensual, pleasurable and nourishing on a soul level. It will give you the opportunity to get very creative, with additional support by the solar/lunar energies of the month, Taurus/Scorpio, blending the visible and invisible powers to co-create on a whole new level.

Sun/New Moon in Taurus ~ Full Moon in Scorpio
This begs the question, does anyone remember ONLY ONE YEAR AGO ... The Taurus New Moon, flanked by two potent Scorpio Full Moons? We planted some major seeds at that time, how did the year unfold for *YOU*? Deep reflections. Taurus ~ The Garden. Scorpio ~ The Compost. Together ~ The Power of Life / The Necessity of Death. If you missed (and want) those audios/activations, please Email Kelly your request along with your Birth date / time / place.

Saturn Direct in Virgo
And the final biggie (at the moment) to prepare for is Saturn going Direct May 16th. You have been actively re-structuring over the last several months, re-working systems to be more effective, healing aspects of your 3-D world/life and reviewing what elements of your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, psychic and karmic reality can be strengthened going forward, or released altogether. How has the basic structure of your life and life's work *HEALED* over the last couple of years while Saturn as it teaches Virgo's lesson of trust and discernment ~ simple and effective ~ for long-term productivity?

*ALL* of this is just PREPARATION FOR ... (upcoming energies). As things move along, major and minor cycles are overlapping, knowledge and setting clear intentions will help you to be prepared and ready for anything. The Eclipses kicked off the year, indicating course corrections from last year's work, Venus' Retrograde slowed you down to review your values and priorities, Pluto Retrograde is slowing you down to distill (purify) all that has been revealed from the deepest part of your Being, then Mercury will Retrograde to review your thinking and ideas, then Saturn will go Direct and move your reality along in tangible, measurable ways ... it continues ... but I only want to plant the seeds of THIS TIME so you are better positioned when the magical and healing combined energies of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune arrive thereafter. You have to see how it is all connected, related and weaving the many aspects of your life into something miraculous! One thing is leading to the next thing, to the next thing, assisting you on every level to create a more rich and authentic life, freeing you up to serve in new, vital and unique ways. Stay tuned!
