Astrology: An Overview of What 2011 Will Bring

From Robert Wilkinson at Aquarius Papers.  One of my favorite Internet author/personalities, Wilkinson's style is accessible to astrology fans, beginners, or the merely curious.  Excerpts in italics:

A tremendous amount of change, new beginnings that rapidly become solid, confronting the consequences of one's willingness to become response-able, and a shift in collective consciousness across the current degree span representing the cusp of where the Age of Pisces slips into the Age of Aquarius. Of course, there's more.

The first half of the year will be radically different than the second half. The first half shows harvests and entryways, as well as the resumption of what we all saw or realized "for the first time" between June and August 2010. Whatever we've said goodbye to, whatever we've had to forgive, let go of, or view with the eyes of radical compassion, whether for others or ourselves, will rapidly give way to a highly energetic period that will crest in May.

The second half of the year will give substance to, or confirm in some way, the new vision of Summer 2010 that rapidly develops during the first half of the coming year. We will initiate some management forms and skills in February which will be needed to deal with the substantial forms presenting themselves at the end of the first half of 2011.

The first half of the year will show everyone the power inherent in the natural roles we've accepted as part of our transformational process, while the second half of 2011 will give substance to the responsibilities or duties that have been strongly activated in December 2010. We've all been shown ways to "pick up and deliver spiritual power," and this emergence from an old "cocoon" state will be finalized in February and March 2011.

A few things to consider as we move into a new Era: Though these times are very unstable, the potential is enormous. A broader view of our ability to respond will lead us to new power, resources, and clarity about what will sustain us into the future. Find your vision and tie yourself to that pillar of clarity, since that will help ground your vision in practical, natural, substantial forms.

While there are always limiting conditions, these show us what we do and do not need to deal with as we maintain our inner center of equipoise. Sometimes in history we must rise to our more effective Self regardless of how tough outer conditions can become. The striving is everything, as the creative tension finds an echo in the greater space we all share together.

I hope for each and every one of you every bit of your personal potential realized in amazing, unusual, and specific-to-you ways, thereby re-enforcing the wonder of our collective universe.  Happy 2011!
