Cogito Ergo Sum
'I think, therefore I am'
Rene Descartes
Welcome to the year 2010. It seems almost impossible to be saying this, I don’t know why but somehow I had a different expectation of what this time period would look like. It probably has something to do with watching all those editions of ‘Tomorrow’s World’, as a child. (An ancient UK television programme from the 70s that helped us to look ahead into how the world might look in the year 2000 and beyond!) Well they definitely got some things wrong. Where, for instance, is my flying car and personal robot? Still waiting for the ironing machine – now that really would be good. And what about those purple wigs and silver cat suits we were promised. Now they really would minimise on ironing and no need to take that hair dryer with me everywhere.
The reality is far from what I had expected, but is that because it wasn’t really my dream in the first place? Well perhaps that is exactly why those things have not materialised.
Which leads me to the questions: “How many people does it take, having the same thoughts, to make something happen?” “Do we all have to have those thoughts at the same time?”
We hear so much these days about the Law of Attraction, Cosmic Ordering, Flowing with the Stream and Creative Reality. There are many names effectively for what is individualised thought, where we are invited to believe that: ‘Thoughts create things’. So if that is the case, then why don’t I have a flying car? Right now, it would be more than useful, as the 2 inches of snow on the road seems to have caused so much chaos in the UK, I cannot use my car at all as the roads are too dangerous to drive on! Just wondering how they manage in Canada?
With all these thoughts running through my mind, it was inevitable that some direction would arrive – I am always open to synchronicity – infact it is my guide.
One morning, into my head popped the name Descartes. I must admit I did not know this name, so I eagerly hopped onto the Internet and discovered this very famous ancient French mathematician and philosopher from the early 1600s. His name was Rene Descartes. So what did I learn?
Well, to my surprise, I discovered that he is responsible, for the above amazing quote. In Latin, Cogito Ergo Sum, which translated simply means, I think, therefore I am.
I think, Therefore I am. Now what did this guy know about the Law of Attraction, I wonder? Because it seems to me he certainly grasped the concept.
So let’s try this on for size.
I think - I am Happy – Therefore – I am Happy
I think – I am Healthy – Therefore – I am Healthy
I think - I am abundant – Therefore I am abundant
I think – I am in a flying car – Therefore I am in a flying car
Not sure about the last one but, nonetheless I would say this guy had Law of Attraction right in his hand, but maybe didn’t realise the implications. Or did he? That bit we might never know, but one thing is for sure, he had certainly stumbled on an amazing concept.
So what of the dream of the future that didn’t happen?
Many people believe that 2012 will bring the end to planet Earth. But how do we know this is true? And if we don’t all know this, then we are not all creating the same thought, or reality, are we?
Just like only a small proportion of the world’s population thinking about owning flying cars, so they don’t exist yet. Can this not apply too, in the case of the end of the world? How many thoughts around the world does it take to create that thing? And if more people, like myself, are wondering how you are going to land that flying car in 2023, can we override the potential for disaster?
So, simply, put, does the future of our planet rest with each and every one of us and our thoughts?
An interesting idea or is it the truth?
So therefore, on one level, it would suggest that not enough people, unlike myself, desire someone to invent an ironing machine?
And what about Global Warming? Are we all so fixated on ice caps melting and the Earth entering a new ice age, that we are creating a scenario before it happens?
The recent extremely cold weather in the UK has caught everyone out. Never thought I would see –18 degrees C in Oxford. Now that is weird. So is something happening because so many people are being told that it is so, therefore it becomes a reality?
Let’s be logical here people. This beautiful planet EARTH that we call home has been around for a long, long time, and has managed to cope without much help from us.
We have plundered its minerals and reserves, its gems and its power. Yet it goes on serving us as it has always done.
SO perhaps, if the ice caps are melting, then maybe they need to and we should just sit back and watch what that creates rather than see it as a destructive process. Everything on EARTH is impermanent and yet we can’t seem to accept what might be a perfectly natural process.
Do you really think we can stop whatever this magical place called EARTH has in store for all us? We share it, we live on it and we die on it and it too has its own thoughts and feelings, except we don’t know what they are.
So my plea for 2010 is to THINK VERY CAREFULLY about your own reality. Only YOU can create your world for YOU because we live in a truly abundant and magical Universe.
If enough of us THINK ABOUT a strong and positive individual future, and perceive this planet as much a part of our lives as it has always been, then perhaps exactly that will occur.
‘I think, Therefore I am’, seems even more appropriate than ever in this regard. AND so the adventure of life continues.
No matter what we choose to believe, it is often what we think and feel that makes the real difference in our lives. If we are able to plant a seed of hope, creativity, joy and love at the base of everything we do, then the outcome can only be a positive ascension for all of us.
When these emotions abound we are capable of achieving anything we desire. And so is the adventure of life. ‘ I think Therefore I am’
Wishing you all an ABUNDANCE OF LOVE, LIGHT AND HOPE for 2010 Elizabeth Adonai, Ain Soph xxxx
2010
We are entering a THREE-year in numerology. This represents all aspects of communication, media, speech, verse and song. It is a number that connects with childhood hopes and dreams as well as sibling relationships. Added to this we have the TEN from 2010. Now when we add the number TEN to the mix, things start to get really interesting because it represents Government, Power, Politics, Law and Order, Social Care and Big Business.
In a year where we are expecting a General Election in the UK, expect to see childlike squabbling in the Houses of Parliament, Ministers reciting nursery rhymes and fables, poetry recited in the Halls of Justice and toys being thrown out of cots in the world of business and banking. Not much change their then!!!
On a more down to earth level, if you have something to say then say it. If you want to start your own business that in anyway involves communication, media, PR, advertising, promotion, etc then go for it. No better time than to get your own radio station going. Childhood dreams can be resurrected and put into place.
ASTROLOGICALLY, I really must mention TIME, TIME, and TIME. It is definitely speeding up and I think in 2010 we will see it literally running away from us. This is not an illusion; it is part of the CHANGE that is taking place on our planet.
We start the year with both Mercury and Mars in retrograde. The power to speak is being postponed – but not for long. March will see this delay blasted open. Infect 18th February is opening one particular doorway – mark that date in your diary.
The amazing scenario of the year is the speed at which the planet Jupiter moves through the sign of Pisces. If you are born under this sign, then expect your life to take off in an extraordinary way. As it buzzes its way through the first part of the year we will be bombarded with everything ‘bannered’ by Pisces. Ghosts, spooks and spectres are everywhere. This is now big business, and everyone seems to be obsessed by it. Ghost hunters have become the new Rock Stars!
Expect a spiritual revolution. We are all awakening – and not before time – to the fact that we are so much more than this body. I have never known so many people to be interested in psychic research and study than there are right now.
Could it be the use of mobile phones and the Internet, that is creating an almost telepathic/electronic desire to open channels of connection with your fellow man and woman 24-7? How long will it be before we no longer need those tools and can simply communicate by our thoughts? (Back to those again – just remember Thoughts create Things!!!)
June finds Jupiter moving into Aries. This changes the dynamic from spiritual achievement to power madness. Who is left holding the keys to the kingdom? Getting a hold on meaningless wars needs to be done before we hit this time frame otherwise, we can expect to see massacres in areas of the world where war has a habit of breaking out.
Hopefully, some common sense will prevail somewhere and we will stop sending young men to die in the HELL that is HELMAND PROVINCE in Afghanistan.
Without stepping too far into someone else’s pie, it doesn’t take a lot to see this is really pushing water up hill.
Afghanistan is not our place to CHANGE. It is said to be the seat of creation by many. Its waters are turquoise and its landscape alien in some respects, but rather like a crystalline volcanic desert. It holds many secrets but are they ours in the West, to discover? I believe they are not. Some things are best left undisclosed.
So to avoid war breaking out in a big way somewhere between June and September, be nice to Russians and Chinese people. They are just like us but have to live in extreme temperatures – now we know what that feels like -18 degrees C in Oxford in January 2010!
And what of the forth-coming election? Well, it is likely to be something you wish was over already. Blaming, finger pointing and everyone else’s fault and not a grown up in site. Expecting to see Mr Brown in tears at some point and throwing a tantrum because he can’t get his own way any more.
The Liberal leader takes on the grown up role, but will enough people vote? (Love his ideas by the way)
Can’t wait to see the forthcoming brand new episode of Most Haunted called: ‘Ghost Hunting with DAVID and YVETTE’ – a ministerial edition. We could get to see our new Prime Minister David hiding behind Yvette as she gets him to crawl through the dungeons of Westminster shouting: “ Is there anybody here.” To everyone’s alarm out leaps Gordon Brown screaming about the injustice of it all and asking why oh why wasn’t he invited, and what will become of him now he has no friends.
Just at that moment the resident medium starts communication with Guy Forks about the difficulties of government at which point David trips over an old Lord who has made his home down in the dungeon because he can’t afford his country estate since he had to pay back his expenses.
Aagh alas only my imagination but this is a Jupiter in Pisces production.
2010 is a year for magic and miracles and mania !!!

Fortuitous, Forceful, Fascinating and Famous.
Leo’s are by nature, for the most part, very proud individuals indeed. They usually wear their hearts on their sleeves, and are not afraid to tell you exactly what it is they are feeling or doing.
Now this is the bit that unfortunately often gets them into trouble.
At times they are able to cut through any situation or event, with almost single- minded focus, just to get the desired outcome that gives them want they want.
They do this without even looking back, or noticing that they may have trodden on many toes along the way. But somehow, these charming and fascinating people are capable of brushing all that aside and are forgiven by the rest of us with just a single glance or word in our direction.
It could be said that in some cases, Leo’s develop a desire for fame from an early age. I believe this is more to do with a need for admiration and attention. They seek love as if it were food and will often go to any lengths to get it. Leo’s are not afraid to start or have affairs with anyone. Even the next-door neighbour! The problem is, when they get what they thought they wanted, they often don’t, and so that person can be discarded like yesterday’s bath water.
As a five personality, they like to play and enjoy themselves and can often be quite child-like in their approach to life. Children are always important to them.
To love a Leo is to be forever chasing them into yet another adventure. To get love back, you will need tenacity and a creative imagination bordering on psychic vision.
Your Leo will love you forever if you are able to take the hard work out of their lives but make it look like they did all the work.
Simply because they believe they are life’s humanitarians. Infact, they often are.
If there is famine in the world, they are the first to weep buckets and send money. If there are children dying in Africa, they will sell their luxury goodies just to raise money to help. But when it comes to their own lives, they usually don’t want to admit it, but they rarely find the happiness they long so much for and dream of.
So they make a plan. They continually strive to look their best, no matter what their budget. They are often the most beautiful of creatures, and they are particularly proud of their hair and skin.
I believe they can be very fortunate in their lives, achieving what they set out to do, simply because their tenacity and drive is so powerful. But if love eludes them, they can lose their light and retreat into depression.
Female Emotions
The female Leo wears her longish hair in the very latest style. It will be beautifully cut and styled. This lady knows how to dress to impress and gain the attention she seeks. She is often the centre of attention anyway, but if she isn’t, she will find a way to get herself noticed.
Love to a Leo lady is much more about the chase than the long term commitment. She wants to know she can snap her fingers and you will come a running.
To impress this regal diva, it will help if you are rich. Invite her to your yacht or villa in Marbella or out for an expensive meal at the smartest restaurant in town.
She is always impressed by money and or power. Either one will gain her interest.
Remember, she bores easily, so have a packed schedule if you want a second date.
To keep her in your life, however, you will have to maintain a kind of James Bond image. A personality that is both mysterious and exciting will keep her ‘hooked’, and if you want my advice, keep as many secrets as you can, because she really likes to delve.
Male Emotions
The Leo male knows exactly what he wants. He has watched all the videos on how to get the right mate. He has studied martial arts and ballroom dancing and he prepares himself by looking the very best that he can, according to his means.
His hair and grooming are always immaculate. The problem is, however, once he goes out on his date, he can easily be persuaded by friends to go off and do something else instead. (Especially, if it involves drinking and socialising). This can result in absolute disaster, as he abandons his date, without even a thought.
OUR Leo male can get drunk very quickly, and soon forgets all about the new love of his life. Alas, wonders why she won’t speak to him again.
Our Leo male could well be considered to be ego-centric, self-centred, and misguided. And yet at the same time, capable of giving and receiving such love. The only thing he needs to remember is that relationship means there is another person involved other than him. When he cracks that, he will get it.
Now a mature Leo male say over 45, will probably have learned some of these lessons and may finally be ready to open his heart. But she will have to be the bell of the ball to take her place on his arm.
He will usually seek a much younger mate, who is both beautiful and admired by all and sundry. He loves nothing more than to show off his younger lover.

Leo’s sometimes get stuck in the long grass. By that I mean they are not very good at looking too far into the future. Infact, it can really scare them. Now it is at this moment that you will see the really “bossy” Leo.
As a rule, they like to know what is going to happen tomorrow and maybe the next day but that’s as far as it goes. They have great big hearts and love to set the world alight with their ideas. But don’t question them on the how’s and when’s. Just let them sort out the details in their own time, otherwise you will see their dark side.
Leo’s can be the most generous and giving souls on planet EARTH. All they need is the time and place to find their own paths.
To find success and a peaceful existence I would recommend the following mantra:-
nam myo ho renge kyo
recite this mantra for 20 mins each day and watch how it makes you feel
MARCH astro LEO
There are more than a few indicators of success for you in March, but it is all about timing. If you get it right you could land a very powerful and creative job.
Fame and fortune are calling you but it needs to align with the New Moon around 15th March. You have waited a long time for this opportunity, so what are you waiting for?
Now alas, this is where it could all get lost in transition. Someone wants you to stay close and they really don’t like the idea of you going out into the world to become a shining star. If you let this person or situation override you, this opportunity will be lost.
Now if home life and children are your priority, then so be it, but if you are simply letting your heart rule your head and getting the jitters because you might just do very well for yourself, then you could look back in a month from now and really kick yourself. You have been warned.
It really is up to you this month Leo to take the opportunity being presented because it is a fantastic one!
The Full Moon in your sign hits the wall of emotional energy on 30th January.
Never have I felt such a sense of breakthrough for one particular sign. You have been given the preparation you need, and now you simply must deal with this issue.
If money and financial security are on your agenda, then use this powerful time to set your world straight and get clarity on your own power.
You are a many talented soul, but sometimes you allow yourself to get eaten up with emotion. If you can forget the rest of the world for one day, then please try and do that on the 30th. It will make so much difference to your life in the long run.
A hidden talent or creative venture has the ability to become very successful, but again, you need to let go of whatever restrictions you yourself are applying. If you have a very gifted child or are teaching someone you believe should get the attention they deserve, then please go for it too.
If you put on your own brakes over this time period you may well forget how far you have come down this road, simply because the financial burden is too great to see a positive outcome.
My dear LEO I can see that you will make your own personal dream come true if you simply drop all the phoney game playing and go for some plain speaking and honesty for a change.
Anyway, if you say it from the heart, someone special is listening. Aquarians will be hardy friends and lovers now.
Allow this energy of financial improvement to follow through for the first half of the year.
The New Moon in Leo takes place on 10th August. It pulls you into alignment with your own sense of achievement yet again. But this time it puts you firmly in the spotlight.
You must be ready to take centre stage during the Summer and Autumn months.
Show off your amazing gifts and talents, and allow people to see just how powerful you can be, when given some slack.
Leo you don’t have to be bossy to get the job done, especially after September, because you may just find you have met your match.
Watch out for heights and all things connected. Tall buildings, things that make you go dizzy and large flashing lights.
