This lands with the Sun in your natal 4th house and the Moon in your natal 10th house. This intensified Full Moon also makes a supportive trine aspect to Saturn in your natal 6th house.
What natal points/planets are involved…
This puts the Sun in a conjunction with your natal Sun/Jupiter conjunction in your natal 4th house as the Moon opposes this configuration from the 10th house.The trine from your natal Uranus/Pluto conjunction in your 6th house to your natal Moon in your 2nd house is also involved as the Moon forms the third leg of a grand trine with this natal trine.
What does it all mean…
An intense culmination is occurring in the realm of your career, reputation and public status. You are a person who has a difficult time working for other people and the need to be independent, unique and in control of your daily routines is very important to you. This eclipse suggests that you may have been waiting for some solid and reliable way to be in charge of yourself and your daily service and routines.
Usually working for yourself inherently means that obtaining clientele is less reliable. But over the next few months you may just see some reliable formation of routines/clientele that aligns with your unique and self-oriented longings in those realms. This could also open up some new forms or more steady flows of income, all of which may hinge upon your home situation. Either you will be working more out of your home or you may have to adjust the location of your home or the amount of time you spend there to accommodate the adjustments in your daily routines. All of this will have you feeling like your role in the world has adjusted…hopefully for the better!
Expect action related to these energies to come forth around mid to late September 2009 (if not sooner)!
2. Total Solar Eclipse – July 21 – 29° Cancer
Where this lands…
The most intense solar eclipse of the century occurs in your natal 5th house and makes a supportive trine aspect to Uranus in your 12th house on your Ascendant.
What natal points/planets are involved…
This lands within orb of a conjunction to your natal Sun (i.e. near your birthday) in the 4th house (5th house cusp) and it forms a supportive trine to your natal Saturn in the 1st house close to the Ascendant.
What does it all mean…
You are someone that tends to be relatively reclusive and you hold back your impulses and creative drives. As I see it, this eclipse has one purpose for you…breaking creative blocks! These next few months will see you breaking down some old creative blocks in order to allow a better flow of creativity into your life. Uranus has crept up to your Ascendant recently and has left you feeling like you need to break free and be you! This will intensify in 2010 but for now the universe is allowing you an opportunity to clear the way for the very unique person that you are. This could include breaking off useless romantic attachments as well which could pave the way for more fulfilling ones later. But the main message is to break you out of your shell and remove your self-limiting tendencies so that you may be more authentically creative!
Its time to let go of those self-limiting rules and “shoulds” that have plagued you at times when you have had a truly fulfilling idea or direction for your life. Stop holding yourself back! This eclipse will help warm you up to the new you whether you are ready for it or not.
Expect action related to these energies to come forth around mid-October 2009 (if not sooner)!
3. Partial Lunar Eclipse – August 5 – 14° Aquarius
Where this lands…
This lands with the Sun in your natal 5th house and the Moon in your natal 11th house. Mars will be making a supportive trine from your 3rd house and Jupiter will be within orb of a conjunction to the Moon from your 12th house.
What natal points/planets are involved…
This places the Sun in a conjunction with your natal Mercury in your 5th house while the Moon opposes Mercury from the 11th house. Also, since your natal Mercury forms the apex of a T-square configuration involving your natal Neptune/Moon opposing from your 8th to 2nd houses this entire configuration is involved as well. In addition, your natal Venus in your 3rd house will be supported.
What does it all mean…
You have always had trouble balancing your mind with your emotions/heart and your experiences with the supernatural and psychic phenomenon have always been difficult to communicate to others. At some point though, something clicks and you suddenly feel like it just may be possible to share some of your deep insights and come to a point where, despite the challenge, you find that there is a way to have an experience that simultaneously includes logic and intuition. This eclipse may just signify one of those times!
An intense culmination in the realm of your hopes, wishes, goals and groups/friends related to these endeavors is occurring in your life. You are feeling supported for these goals etc. and these goals may include writing, speaking or in some way expressing your unique insights from both logical and intuitive realms. Just when people need your advice, you will be there. You may even find that these insights could yield another source of income! Or at least they will contribute to an expanded sense of self-worth as you see the value that people are receiving from your wisdom.
Expect the energies related to this to come forth over a general period from mid-late Nov 2009 through early May 2010 (if not sooner)!
When the earth makes one revolution around the sun we call that a ‘year’. From the perspective of the earth, the sun appears to be revolving around the earth. Even though we know this is not actually true, ancient people realized that knowing where the sun appeared to be in the heavens allowed for predictability of seasons and therefore reliablecrop production and sustenance.
In astrology, we also recognize the solar cycle as it relates to people and events. When you were born, the sun was somewhere on the 360° circle of the ecliptic around the earth. When the sun returns to that same spot in the heavens, this is considered the ‘Solar Return’ for that person or event. Though most ancient ‘rites of passage’ celebrations have long been abandoned, most cultures have maintained at least one of them…the Solar Return.
The Solar Return is celebrated by us still today only now we refer to it as our ‘Birthday’ celebration.
As you would expect, the sun returns to the same spot in the heavens around the birthdays of individuals and events because…well, it’s the sun cycle itself on which our only calendar is based. Ancient cultures, such as the Mayans, had many calendars for many purposes. The solar calendar was their calendar for ‘commerce’ (i.e. crops & trade) purposes. But today we have only decided to retain the commerce calendar and to reject the calendars based on other cycles…as if commerce is our only purpose! No wonder our culture finds it hard to find significance and meaning outside of our ability to work and produce. However, that is another discussion altogether.
Astrologically, the Solar Return is an annual event usually occurring within 36 hours of our actual birth date and time and it represents a new round of growth, opportunity, and challenge on our continued journey through this life. The reason that the actual time varies each year and sometimes lands a day before or a day after the actual birth date is the same reason that we have a leap year every four years. It is because our calendar is relatively inaccurate…especially when compared to some ancient calendars. In any case, a chart is cast for the moment when the sun returns to its place in the heavens that it held at the time of the birth of the entity. This chart is then interpreted on its own which reveals themes for growth and challenge throughout the coming year. The Solar Return chart is also viewed relative to the Natal chart in terms of opportunities relative to the overall life path.
Below is a brief analysis of a Solar Return chart for a female who turned 27 back in March 2009. I am looking at both her Solar Return chart and her Natal chart to assess the potentials for this year which is almost halfway over as of now. Analyzing this chart at this point in time allows us to gain some verification for the previous 5 months and a conscious reorientation for the remaining 7 months of the year.

General Personality Tendencies for the Year (Taurus Ascendant/Leo Moon)
As someone with a natal Pisces Sun and Libra rising, you would expect her to be flexible and accommodating for the most part. And while this is probably true generally speaking, this year she can expect to experience herself as more stubborn and self-focused rather than her typical agreeable self. The affects of this year’s tendencies are relative to her natural style so that she will experience herself as more self-oriented and less compromising than usual but this does not necessarily suggest that she will turn into a tyrant, for example. For someone with a natal predisposition toward these characteristics, a year like this could very well bring out the inner tyrant. But for someone with a natal predisposition for compromising and bending to others’ wishes, like with this example, a year like this can allow her to experience a stronger push for self-expression that she may not experience in typical years. She may stand up for herself more and claim her place in the world rather than fitting into a space that allows her in it.
Getting Out There
There is a strong theme in this Solar Return chart toward focusing her thoughts and efforts on expanding her influence in the outer world. Mercury, Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Chiron, and the north node of the Moon are all crowded at the top of the chart in the 10thhouse of career, public opinion, reputation and ambition. Also the Sun and Uranus are conjunct in the 11th house of individuality within groups and goals for the future. Her focus seems to rest primarily on her desire to head in the right direction, meet the right people and do the things she needs to do to realize her ideal ambitions. This does not mean that she will get there during a year like this, but only that this is where she is focused and the synthesis of all of her little decisions throughout the year will show a pattern relative to these themes.
This year, she is ready to separate from the crowd and the ‘rules’ and re-define her own self against her own desires and wishes and morality instead of weighing them against those of others. With Uranus conjunct the Sun in the 11th house, there may even be some moments of explosiveness andimpulsiveness when she feels hemmed in by the same old friends’ expectations and same old rules by which she has lived the last 27 years. She may appear more ‘selfish’ in the eyes of others but really she is just finally expressing her true self, which she may have hidden until now. With Mars in the 10th house her overly ambitious energy could also rub employers the wrong way. She will want to work on things her own way. Complicating things further, Neptune in the 10th house may indicate that even though she feels a strong urge to be her own person and to do her own thing…she may not even know exactly where to direct that energy! This vagueness and lack of direction and purpose can lead to frustration at times this year as her will seems blocked by circumstances…maybe by her own indecision!
With Mercury in the 10th house, her mind will certainly be focused primarily on her own status, reputation, and ambitions which will be of the idealistic variety. Frustration over not being able to find a path or direction relative to these ideals may also cause issues throughout the year. But with Jupiter in the 10th house as well, there may be new opportunities in the career realm or for providing her ambitions with an appropriate outlet. It is unlikely that she would actually experience any real sense of advancement until the end of the Solar Return year, if at all this year. This is a year of preparation and re-orientation toward new ambitions and the accomplishment of idealistic goals.
With Saturn in the 5th house (self-expression, creativity, romance, and children) opposing the Uranus/Sun conjunction in the 11th house, this new self-expression may feel squashed. It may seem to her that outside forces are preventing her self-expression but really she is coming to terms with her own creative blocks. She may want to express herself but fears about her own perceived creative lacking may prevent her from doing so. She may also focus more seriously on her creative outlets and put work hard toward accomplishing a big project. Also, since the 5th house rules our children (I am aware that she recently had her first child), it may be the overwhelming responsibilities of motherhood that seemingly prevent her from taking off in new directions and doing the things she actually wants to do with her life.
The real essence represented by this opposition in the chart is an opportunity this year to find a balance between those responsibilities and the desires of the true self. This is done by coming to terms with the perceived imbalance in her life relative to these realms. Only in learning how to actively balance this in her life can she truly express her true self without neglecting her responsibilities and vice versa.
Healing Deep Within
As a compliment to the very ambitious energy mentioned previously, there is also a strong theme of very inwardly focused energy. The 24th degree of Taurus serves as the Ascendant this year and brings her natal 8th house (growth, transformation, release, and sharing) into focus. In addition, the ruling planet, Venus, is in the 12th house, the Moon is on the 4th house cusp, Pluto is in the 8th house, and her natal Venus in the 4th house is brought to the Solar Return Midheaven (top of the chart). This seems like a jumbled mess but my point is that the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses are all strongly represented here. These three houses are the emotional houses which generally involve transformation, healing and extra-sensory perception.
The general sense is that she is digging down deep and finding the source for her unconscious emotional reactions and tendencies. This year, she is letting go of a lot of things that no longer serve her and coming to terms with what she must accept. She is laying a new foundation for herself on an emotional level which may translate to changing arrangements in the physical home as well ( a move perhaps). She is allowing things that have been buried deep to come up for resolution and true healing.
With her natal Venus in the 4th house being brought to the Midheaven of the Solar Return chart, she may be made aware of her strong need for her mother’s approval in her life’s decisions and direction. This year may put her in situations where she feels unsupported my her mother figure and her only way out is to learn how to accept her own choices without her mother’s approval and to heal her wounds related to these needs once and for all. For example, she may be taking action towards her future career in a way that her mother perceives as irresponsible in light of her daughter having a child to care for. But, in this example, it would be up to my client to claim her place in the world and balance it with her responsibilities on her own terms and not on anyone else’s terms.
Timing
Solar Returns are great for providing themes for the upcoming year but when it comes to timing, these charts usually fall short. However, there is one piece of the Solar Return chart that can be used for timing: the progressed Moon. I won’t get into an explanation of progressed planets but just note that the Moon moves through this chart from its starting point at a rate of approximately 1° per month. Here the Moon starts at about 2.5° Leo and will move to approximately 15° Leo by the end of her personal year.
Along the way it will make different aspects to planets in the chart. These aspects made by the progressed Moon signify important time periods for the themes involved. The effects of these aspects are relatively weak compared to transits to the Natal chart from the other planets, however.
In any case, here are some significant time periods and the themes involved (the general time period is (+/-) 1 month from the date stated):
Progressed Moon Quincux (150°) Pluto in the 8th house (exact March 24) signifies a period of quick release and letting go. Possibly a heated discussion ending/straining a friendship or other relationship.
Progressed Moon crosses 4th house cusp (exact April 20) signifies a change from a mental focus to an emotional focus…can also indicate a physical move.
Progressed Moon conjunct the south node in the 4th house (exact August 16) signifies an awareness of an imbalance between work and home life with an urge to correct it.
Progressed Moon Opposite (180°) Jupiter in the 10th house (exact December 30) signifies a time of opportunity for the career or reputation that may need to be balanced by tending to responsibilities at home. It could be an opportunity that would take her away from home for longer periods, for example.
Progressed Moon Trine (120°) Venus in the 12th house (exact January 31) signifies a time of healing and pleasant interactions. Also, there is the potential for a brief sense of financial well-being.
Summary & Natal Implications
This is a year for her to re-orient her life direction. In order to do this, she must first lay down a new foundation by releasing what is no longer needed and becoming her own source of approval. From there, she can take off in the new directions that she has conjured up and begun to aim toward this year. With this she can better understand how to express her true self within a group and find a way to balance her ambition and goals with her responsibilities.
In her Natal chart she has the north node conjunct the 10th house cusp in Cancer. This suggests that there is some perceived guilt related to neglecting family obligations in her past life experiences. In this life she is challenged to find a balance between ambition and family and this year in particular brings up just this theme to be worked out. Because of her sense of guilt, she has likely found herself leaning toward family obligations rather than her own ambitions to this point in her life. This year challenges her to take the first real step toward achieving that balance.
This year is a foundational year that will pave the path for future ambitions. Transiting Saturn enters her natal 12th house in early September 2009 and stays there until early October 2011. This echoes the themes of digging deep and letting go shown in this year’s chart. Whatever ambitions are conjured up this year they are likely to remain in ‘the oven’ for the next couple of years until Saturn crosses her Ascendant in October 2011. At the tail end of that time period, Saturn will return to its natal position. This is known as the Saturn Return and it is the same concept as the Solar Return with the exception that one Saturn cycle is equal to almost 30 earth years. The first Saturn Return is a time a deep maturity and considered the threshold to true adulthood.
If she lays a solid emotional foundation for herself this year and at least mentally creates a framework for her future ambitions, the next couple of years will be a time for ‘cooking’ these ingredients together. Then in 2012 when her Saturn Return is complete and Saturn conjuncts her natal Pluto in her 1st house, she will be moving forward according to her own authority and power. Patience, preparation, and purging is the name of the game until then.
And so it is…
Readers, this was just a taste of what type of information a Solar Return reading can offer you. If you’re interested in a complete analysis for your next birthday or your current one, please contact me at www.myastrochris.com!
Michael Jackson’s sudden passing certainly was shocking to us all. But what made it even more shocking to me and dozens of my Facebook friends was that one of my friends actually ‘predicted’ the event before the actual passing! The timestamps on the Facebook posts clearly show that the ‘prediction’ was made approximately 2 hours before his actual death! As an artist of timing (i.e. Astrologer) this prompted me to look at my friend’s natal chart and current planetary transits to see if there was anything occurring that would indicate an opportunity for such an uncanny prediction.
I’ve known this person for well over a decade and I am familiar with his tendency toward futuristic proclamations. While some of his ‘prophecies’ actually do occur in some form, most do not. However, I will admit that when he is ‘on’ he is typically ‘DEAD on’. This most recent example was no exception.
I have been researching metaphysical phenomenon for several years now and have talked to many practicing ‘psychics’ along the way. After much feedback and in combination with my own intuitive sense on the matter and with the realities of modern quantum physics, it is my conclusion that, in reality, there is no future. There is only the eternal ‘now’ moment of potential energy.
When people make accurate predictions of ‘the future’ it is actually less of a glance at the future and more of an assessment of the potential of ‘now’. The more factors you can take into account when making an assessment, the more accurate you are likely to be regarding any outcome. This is why a computer model that has more accurate input produces more accurate results. With ‘psychic prediction’ what’s really going on is that the ‘psychic’ is simply using more resources (i.e. extra-senses) than the average person in making their assessment. Everybody has access to more sensing resources than they typically use but some people are just more pre-disposed to using these ‘extra-sensory’ resources. But even those who are pre-disposed to using these extra-senses need to practice them and work with them to perfect their usefulness. Practice makes perfect after all.
Our modern society certainly doesn’t condone the consideration of any senses outside of the 5 accepted physical senses. As I write this, my TV is on in the background. Since we all know that there are hundreds of channels I could choose from right now, it would be ludicrous for me to suggest that the only channel that exists is the one within my physical awareness. The point is, other senses or realities can exist simultaneously while outside of our awareness. After all, can you see in infrared? I know I can’t. Yet infrared energy is being emitted by EVERYTHING that is above absolute zero in temperature (this basically means everything in the universe as we know it). So yes, real phenomena do occur outside of our immediate conscious awareness. But I digress…
Astrology certainly supports the concept that everyone at least has the potential for tapping into these extra-senses that connect us to the undercurrents of our existence. Every chart involves all of the zodiac signs, all of the houses, and all of the planetary bodies. But the configurations of these energies differ between each chart yielding information regarding unconscious pre-disposition and inclination. What I wanted to find out for my friend’s was the following:
1) Is there any pre-disposition toward tapping into the extra-sensory realms in his natal chart?
2) Was there anything to indicate that there was potential for tapping into this energy at the time of his prediction?
Natal Chart with Current Transits (in green) (click to enlarge)
In astrology there are 4 basic elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water). Fire energy represents where we obtain our intuition, inspiration, and initiative. Earth energy represents our ability to ground and make things real and useful. Air energy represents our ability to logically conceptualize, think, and communicate. Finally, water energy represents our ability to feel, connect, and grow. This represents four general elements of experience. Yet all of the 5 physical senses, of which we are aware, fall under the realm of earth energy. The other three energies are then unrepresented with regards to our sensory mediums. So, all of the other sensory mediums that may exist would fall under the fire, air, and water energies even though we have yet to define what these senses may be.
My friend’s natal chart is pre-dominantly made up of fire (red) and water (blue) energy. He also lacks air (orange) and earth (green) energy, relative to the average person. Though he may have to work harder at conceptualizing and grounding his ideas into reality, this represents someone who easily receives information and inspiration on an intuitive level and who easily connects to the undercurrents of life. His fire energy includes his Sun in Aries and his Ascendant in Sagittarius making this energy even stronger in this overall chart. His water energy not only includes his Moon, which is very important, but also a Grand Trine (three 120° angles) between planets in water signs (notice the blue triangle). This Grand Trine is made up of a Moon/Mars conjunction in Pisces, Uranus in Scorpio, and Jupiter in Cancer. A Grand Trine is a connection between planets in all 3 of one element (in this case it’s all three water signs). These planets in the Grand Trine are also in water houses (4th, 8th, and 12th) amplifying the effects associated with this watery Grand Trine.
Water energy is the energy we would link most significantly to a connection to extra-sensory perception. People with a lot of water energy (myself included) are typically very sensitive and can easily feel out a room and gauge the general flow of the existing temperament. In general, a Grand Trine means that the energy flows so smoothly between the planets that unless it has opportunities for grounding it into reality, the energy tends to remain pretty dormant and unconscious. There is great potential (planets in water signs) for tapping into the extra-sensory realm and there is also an intention (planets in water houses) to do so in this life. However, since there is no impetus to utilize the water energy on a regular basis the fire energy tends to lead the way in his most outward personality while the influence of the water energy remains more unconscious. People with this kind of energetic set-up will tend to draw logical and practical people into their lives as a way of balancing themselves out energetically.
This brief assessment of his natal chart is just the tip of an enormous iceberg of information. But I will just leave it at that for the purposes of this article.
So were there any transits (green planets on the outside of the chart) moving through his chart that suggested an opportunity for tapping into his dormant water energies? The first thing I looked for was where the triple conjunction between Neptune, Jupiter, and Chiron in Aquarius falls in his chart. This triple conjunction started in May 2009 and will continue off-and-on through the end of 2009. This triple conjunction is the first of its kind since 1945 and the first in Aquarius in thousands of years! It is present somewhere in everyone’s chart and where it falls has significance. In this case, it falls in his 3rd house of communication, information, ideas, contracts, siblings, and day-to-day interactions.
Taken alone, each planet’s position here can be interpreted. Neptune rules all that is mystical and difficult to explain logically. In general, it can be said that Neptune represents ‘psychic’ attunement. This planet has been traveling through his 3rd house since early 2005 and will continue in that house for another decade or so. We usually only recognize the experiences related to Neptune as a background influence since it is very slow moving. Positively this can be a time of receiving mystical information and intuitive insight. Negatively it can point to a time of deceit and to ideas which seem impossible to ground into reality. This would be mostly due to a tendency toward over-idealism.
Jupiter is considered the benefactor of the planets and usually its transits represent times of expanded opportunity. Jupiter just entered his 3rd house in the spring of 2009 and will not completely exit this house until mid-late 2010. This represents a time of opportunity with connections and contracts as well as an ability to find the write answers or words for situations.
Chiron is described as ‘the wounded healer’. It represents our ability with regards to wounding and healing and, when transiting, represents times of heightened sensitivity. Since early 2005 and through the spring of 2010, Chiron is in his 3rd house as well providing opportunities to bring up and heal old wounds related to a sense of belonging and connecting as well being validated for one’s own ideas and insights.
The overall feel to this triple conjunction in his 3rd house, which lasts for most of 2009, is a background energy of heightened opportunities for validation for his intuitive perceptions (i.e. extra-senses). With this in the background, there may be other opportunities for intuitive validation throughout the course of 2009 in addition to his accurate prediction of Michael Jackson’s death.
Along with this background influence was a couple of other brief aspects that combined together at just the time of the prediction. One of these aspects was an ingress (or entry) of the Sun into his 8th house. The 8th house is a water house and is considered the house of the subconscious mind and our ability to dig beneath and utilize hidden information (i.e. extra-sensory potential). The 8th house also rules death itself. The Sun travels through each house once a year for approximately one month. When it is crossing the threshold of a new house (cusp), it is a potent time for the expressions of the energies of the new house. In his case, the Sun was within 1 degree of his 8th house cusp on the day of the prediction. This signifies a brief heightened awareness in terms of tapping into his subconscious realms and death. This aspect was active for approximately 48 hours and occurs once per year.
Finally, that brings us to the other aspect which involved the location of transiting Mars and Venus. Remember how I mentioned that he has that Grand Trine in water in his natal chart that lays dormant most of the time unless there is something to ground it into use? Well the day of the prediction fell right into a ~72-hour period that was RIPE specifically for grounding this energy in his chart. Mars and Venus were moving through the earth sign of Taurus which is a sign that represents the epitome of grounding. Mars represents our action principle and, when transiting, shows us where we are focusing our action energy. For him, Mars was traveling through his 6th house of work, service, health, details, and accuracy. The 6th house is also an earth house which amplifies the grounding effects.
So what does Mars in an earth sign have to do with the Grand Trine in water signs?
Mars wasn’t just in the very earthy sign of Taurus but, mathematically speaking, it was within orb of an opposition (180 degrees) to Uranus in Scorpio (12th house) which is one of the planets that is part of the Grand Trine. This means that Mars was also forming a sextile (60 degrees) aspect to both Jupiter in Cancer (8th house) and his Mars/Moon conjunction in Pisces (4th House). All three points in the Grand Trine were activated. If you think of the Grand Trine as a kite floating in the sky, this kind of transit represents an opportunity to tether that kite to the ground! Picture a red line cutting across the blue triangle from Uranus in the 12th house to the transiting Mars/Venus in his 6th house.
More specifically, a Mars transit that opposes your natal Uranus is a once per two year event that provides an outlet for surprising, lighting bolt-like experiences associated with the actions we take. Venus in close vicinity to Mars just added a sense of creative energy to the prediction and even more amplification to what this transit represents. Also, this grounding of the extra-sensory potential in his Grand Trine occurred in the 6th house. This explains the level of accuracy in the prediction since the 6th house rules our meticulous attention to details!
In conclusion:
The triple conjunction of Neptune, Jupiter, and Chiron in his 3rd house combined with the Sun entering the 8th house and with Mars/Venus grounding the potential energy in the Grand Trine. The synchronicity of these three events represented a rare opportunity for tapping into his potential for extra-sensory perception and for opening him up to expanded opportunities for validation of his intuitive insights due to the high level of accuracy in this very specific prediction associated with death!
So there it is. We’ve shown astrologically that there is at least the pre-disposed potential in his chart for a connection to the extra-sensory realms and for the ability to access a more encompassing sense of what is occurring in the ‘now’. Also, the current transits in his chart yielded information about the specific opportunity to tap into these realms and to sense from a wider perspective what was happening in the world when he made his prediction. I think it’s very possible that he opened his intuition at the moment that he asked himself the question as to who he felt may lose their life that day. The answer came to him like a lighting bolt based on the conditions that he unconsciously sensed about Michael Jackson at the time of the prediction. Even though Michael didn’t die until 2 hours later, the events leading up to the death were in motion at the time of the prediction. It is these existing conditions of ‘now’ that he sensed, and not a pre-destined event in the future.
Like with all predictions, the outcome here could have been avoided. In this case, nothing was done to avert the conditions that my friend had sensed and so events unfolded without interruption. I am not implying that my friend should have done something about his premonition and warned Michael, for example. That would be a pretty ridiculous expectation considering his level of unconsciousness regarding his own extra-sensory perception potential and his level of difficulty in actually connecting with Michael Jackson even if he wanted to connect with him.
But it is important to note that, even in the case of tapping into the extra-sensory realms, the only predictions that come to fruition are the ones that are not intercepted. A computer model’s results are a reflection of the accuracy and depth of detail for the input that is uploaded into the model. The same is true for so-called ‘psychic’ prediction. The result of prediction is only as accurate as the amount of information resources being utilized at the time of the prediction.
The more thoroughly you can tap into the conditions of the present time, the better you can assess the trajectory of the current conditions. This is why psychological and emotional conditions can disrupt a reading by a practicing ‘psychic’. These conditions can sometimes block energy flow and therefore prevent the transmission of potentially useful information.
Everyone has access to the extra-sensory realms but some people can tap into it more easily than others. Either way, without practice, extra-sensory information usually does more harm than good as it typically leads to confusion when it is not grounded into something useful in our daily lives. And even with good practice and conscious awareness, being able to assess a trajectory of someone’s life based on current conditions (i.e. predict) is useless unless there is a willingness in the recipient of the information to be conscious of their own choices in each moment.
Living unconsciously with regards to our conditioned responses and habits leaves us at the mercy of our reactive inclinations. But with pure conscious awareness we have complete free will in our choices and everything in our lives is unpredictable! Ultimately, predictability is a function of consciousness. The more conscious you are of yourself in every given moment the less predictable you become!
