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 !!!

TAURUS PERSONALITY PROFILE
April 20th – May 20th
Venus ruler-ship
2nd house activity
2 Numerology
Strength, Realism, Beauty, Honesty and Grace are the major characteristics bestowed upon the heavenly Bull.
You believe in what you can see, and touch, and make as real as possible, and absolutely nobody is going to persuade you otherwise.
Now this is often where trouble breaks out because in the process of trying to do everything yourself and organising all and sundry, you often miss the point or the opportunity, simply because of procrastination and an inability to stand back and be objective.
That then leads to all sorts of defensive and childlike behaviour. Yes, NOBODY can be as stubborn and downright self-defeating as you TAURUS. It is as if you get the red light in your head and you lose it.
So let me remind you how wonderful you truly are. You get on with the job in hand and often do the work that others won’t, simply because you know it has to be done, and nobody can really get things done as well as you.
You are capable of creating the most beautiful artwork, architecture, music and song. The world would be a very sad place without you. Infact, just having you around looking so heavenly, can make us all feel slightly awkward, but where would we be if you were not here.
With Venus as your ruler, you make us swoon with delight so often. We can all easily fall under your romantic and charismatic spell. It’s just that we can’t all live up to your expectations and black and white ideology. When you learn to lighten up and let go, you are one of the most amazing people to have around.
As a TWO individual in numerology, you care, yes you really do and you so want others to see how much love and effort you put in. But in so wanting the right relationship, and trying so hard to make everything right, you can often push away your precious loved one, simply because you leave them little room to breath.
Money and materialistic pursuits are often so tied in with your sign, that it just falls in your lap when you need it. However, you will know when you are blocked because it will elude you.
That is the moment to retrace your steps and go back to the moment when things started to change or go wrong. A poor Taurean is a very unhappy being, and you will do everything in your power to change the situation.
FEMALE EMOTIONS
To understand a Taurean female you will need strength and fortitude, as she is likely to draw you in with her magnetic and charming smile. Once she looks at you with those perfect teeth and sparkling eyes, you will be well and truly hooked.
To keep this divine creature happy you will need to show her proof of your love. That means things you can smell, touch and taste.
In return, you will be treated like a king or queen, but you will also have to tow the line and agree to her demands, which may not always fit in with the rest of your life. She will make a wonderful mother to your children, and they will all be very well looked after, simply because she is so good at knowing a child’s needs.
A Taurean woman rejected or abandoned, however, is a pitiful sight indeed. She will simply lose control and eat or drink herself to sleep. She needs lots and lots of TLC, so do give great consideration to entering a life partnership here. If you have stamina, fortitude and a large bank account – go for it – you will be forever in love, and forever adored. But if you betray her, she will never forget, and you will wish you could move to the other side of the world.
MALE EMOTIONS
The male Taurean often has that kind of rugby player look. You know, the kind of large, well built and well rounded body, slightly wide chin on a very thick neck but all beautifully in proportion. His eyes will be unusual too and just like the female, he will draw you in with one of his sultry, little boy looks.
He will bestow gifts upon his beloved and take her everywhere she wants to go. He may well be a good cook, but if not, will wine and dine her to the best of his budget. He will expect loyalty and faithfulness, and in return will give you the keys to his heart. But do beware. A Taurean male crossed is likely to go on a rampage of destruction. Blaming everyone and everything, except himself, because in his mind he can never do any wrong.
If you can get him to meditate or take up yoga, you could have found the perfect man. The problem is he doesn’t quite believe in things like that!
CAREER CHOICES:
Musician, Singer, Sound Engineer, Radio Presenter, Movie Star, Beautician, Dress Designer, Wardrobe, Hair, Beauty, Builder, Chef, Cook, Soldier, Social Worker, Antique Dealer, Teacher, Bank Manager, Solicitor and Entrepreneur.
As a TWO individual, you have the potential to own your own company or string of shops.
AFFIRMATION
TAURUS people find true success when they learn to let go and trust. Not everyone is trying to get something from you or take something that you have. Some people really are genuinely caring and do give just as much as you. Just let them show you how they do it in their world.
You are one of the most amazingly creative souls on this planet. But you lose yourself in petty thoughts that can cripple you for your whole life, if you let them. Feeling happy is something you CAN DO if you want to. And that is the key here. It is not up to me how you feel, I am simply pointing out that being happy will make a huge difference in the lives of those who care about you!
To achieve a balance I would suggest the following affirmation:
‘I am learning, each day, how to share with an open heart. I trust that the Universe will guide me to those sentient beings who, like me, have so much to give.’
MARCH astro TAURUS
If certain criteria end up giving you a real headache, then know you are going in the wrong direction. As your ruler Venus, moves into the sign of Aries, you might feel as if plans and routines are hard to accomplish or achieve. However, the Full Moon on 30th March in your fellow sign of Libra, gives you the credibility to get your love life sorted out and you may well do this in a somewhat dramatic way, even for you.
Slow down this month if you can and try not to let tiny details get to you. Much is coming in the next few months to stimulate and excite. Perhaps this is just a precursor to ensure you don’t take on the wrong kind of passengers!
If you have doubted your own ability to quash a problem or to sequester your way out of an emotional issue, then I believe you will get your wish this year.
The New Moon on May 14th in your sign feels like it carries such a huge weight.
There is such a sense of purpose projected here that I can almost feel it pushing against me, as I write these words.
Infact, words will be the pre-cursor to a certain series of actions or activities that are likely to create a huge shift in your life.
The whole issue of home and family rises up here.
Do you stay or do you leave and travel to a completely new location. I believe there are several criteria here which may eventually rise to the surface.
Firstly, if there has been a loss of a male figure and monies have been obtained by insurance or inheritance, then there will need to be a settlement with siblings before you are in a situation that releases you to move on.
The consequence of this is that you may choose to move far from where you are currently situated. It will almost feel as if the Universe is guiding you.
Secondly, if there has been ill health with a male member of your family, and this has been resolved or is now improving, again, I believe discussions with other family members may cause friction, but the end result will be you wanting to settle in some quiet location, near the sea but also with a rural environment close by.
Thirdly, if you have something to say in regard to an extra-marital affair, that may be finally coming to an end, and that has caused you untold hardship or heartache, especially if the signs of Gemini, Libra or Aquarius are involved, then I would also suggest that parting ties and moving home is a must.
Sorry about all this anguish, but I have to say, you will deal with it, sort out your nightmares and finally find contentment within your own home.
If you are looking for a new life partner, then 2010 may well present you with some very different characters.
Pisceans, Sagittarians and Aquarians could be top of your list.
If on the other hand you want to have a complete rest to find yourself again – I think you would be making a very proactively brilliant move.
Financially, you could gain unexpectedly from any kind of artistic or creative endeavours. I would recommend August onwards for promoting yourself in this way.
The Full Moon in TAURUS falls on 21st November. Again, I get this falling sensation. I believe however, that you will feel the need for retreat and restraint around this time. Shared visions and lofty ideals can be brought into manifestation when you release your fears. It has been a long time since you trusted someone enough to let them into your life. You can go ahead and do this finally in December. You will be so glad that you waited.
2010 is a year for being true to yourself, finally, and for getting a resolution to whatever crises has held you back for the last 2 years.
