General:
As you enter the year 2004, you will become more aware of the changes in philosophies of those people around you as well as within yourself. Some of these changes will be obvious, some more subtle. This means that the new year promises to be a time for seeking a more spiritual path. Please do not confuse this with religion. Organized religion may gain members because of this, but spirituality and religion are not synonymous. All will be seeking a "something more" this year and it will revolve around each person's need to be connected with something "bigger" than self. I don't mean this to be cryptic. It is the best slant I can put on something that has no form. There will be a great deal of inner work happening this year. You will see it in you, those you know, in communities and in governments. There will be movement toward peace with some very obvious roadblocks thrown in. There will be a coming together in ways that have not happened for a very long time. First and foremost, that coming together must happen within you. If you are already a lightworker, your light will grow stronger. If you have not yet noticed the lightwork that you do, you will become aware of it this year.

Science:
If you read any of the alternative magazines or papers, you are already aware that the gap between science and the intuitive is narrowing. There will be revelations this year about the God/Individual connection. There will be leaps of both faith and technology about how the individual works. That means that you will begin to see yourself in a new light. There will be less reliance on the "outside" and more reliance on the inner you. All of this will create great controversy. You will become aware that you can continue to support and believe the old way of thinking, or you can create a new way of thinking. That new way of thinking is what will greatly change some standards of science. Look to the 100th Monkey Theory to be put to use this year. (If a monkey drops his food in water before eating it, and finds that he prefers this, then he will "wash" his food before eating. If others in his area see and copy this, then others also "learn" to wash their food before eating. Once the 100th monkey performs this task, all monkeys, regardless of location, will perform this task.) Using the 100th Monkey Theory means that if enough of us change our thinking/beliefs, things will change. The world of science continues this year to draw closer to the world of the intuitive. I see some great breakthroughs with systemic issues of the body. The standard way of treating various diseases will change. There will be inroads toward cures, but I feel these cures are not based on the research and development of pills. It will be interesting to see what brings them about. The Human Genome will create some controversy this year. As it continues to be mapped, there will be discoveries that science will be arguing with religion. Remember that your input in this controversy will balance the God/Individual connection. There could also be some intrigue with this project. Even if some information gets into the "wrong hands" it is unlikely that the mapping of the human genome will, or even could, be used for something sinister. Again, know that individual power will prevail.

Earth Changes:
There are two major fault lines that will become very active this year. I see both tidal waves/flood as well as earthquakes in these areas (I am not getting actual areas but the "feeling" of Asia and Russia). The effect on the United States is minimal but will be felt. Weather patterns continue to change across the planet. The winter will be long in most areas and then cause flooding in many areas in the Spring. Be prepared for times of no communication. Although this is rare in the United States, there will be an area of the country "cut off" from communications for a few days. It appears that it was high winds and storm that shut down contact. There will be new discoveries from times past. Some lucky explorers will be in the right place at the right time to discover a missing piece of humankind's past. New developments of science makes it easier to "see" into the ground and some archeological sites will find more than they expected. One find is a new link or key to some writing that has already been discovered.

Spirituality:
This new year is about being able to see your personal self worth. It will be imperative to your spiritual growth to notice and maintain the knowledge that you are, indeed, a very powerful individual. Things that used to take long periods of time to learn will be easier than ever before. Old predictions will be unfounded but new people with new insights will be coming forward with information that directs everyone to a more spiritual path. It will be up to you to determine the path that is right for you. This is not about finding a guru. This is about finding the power within. Please be aware that the idea and the act of channeling will become common place. What was once the area of mediums and mystics, will become familiar ground to all. Do not be surprised to hear the word and find the work of channels more prominent than ever before. Ghosts and things that go bump in the night will also have their day. It will be about getting past fear and ridicule, and choosing to learn more about those things that you can't see. For those of you unable or unwilling to change, some new disease will enter into the mainstream of the country. This feels like a new type of pneumonia or some breathing issue. It will be resistant to usual treatment and require a different approach. This, at first, will be connected to our air. Further examination will draw different conclusions. If you find yourself or one you love struggling with this new issue, you may wish to go within and find the answers to what would be right for you to do under these circumstances. The individual will have great power if you chose to use it this year.

Peace:
There feels like a great deal of pressure is being placed on the individual regarding peace. Remember the 100th Monkey Theory (in section on Science)? The general populace has decided that war is no longer needed or desired. The war continues with feelings of another Vietnam. Leaving that war torn country and keeping face will become another political dance. Be sure to look at all the fine print when the time comes or you will find your tax dollars going to help line pockets, not people. Remember your power where peace is concerned. If you can keep light and love in your heart, you can prevent war. Unfortunately, this year will not be the end to war. However, the feeling is that this year will be the beginning of the end. People are coming together in new ways and communicating in new ways and the feel is that something will mark a time of peace.

Government/Economy:
Many things that our government did after the terrorist activities went unseen. This year will mark a time of tallying results of homeland security actions and what they mean to the privacy and "fairness doctrine" of the United States. The actions that the U.S. government takes in the first six months of 2004 will reflect on the battle for the presidential seat that will continue to heat up. There will be more than the usual mud slinging of times past. Some juicy gossip will emerge that will change the course of some political careers. Don't think the battle is over until the final tally is in. You may be in for another surprise election in 2004. Getting caught with some corruption will be the theme for 2004. It will be found in contracts, and all levels of organizations. Add to this the discovery of corruption in other countries and the general public will have very little faith in their politicians at year's end. Look for really big changes in the stock market February, April and July of this year. As corruption is uncovered, the attitude of the public will be reflected in the stock market. New organizations will be formed to help combat what is seen as government waste. Good luck to finding the truth. One part of the economy will find support in the arts. Although never really seen as a viable place of growth, the idea and abilities of the field will have a comeback. Expect to see some of the old ways of building revised, some of the old traditions renewed. With all of this, it will create a small niche of economic growth.
