we haven't seen over the past 5-6 years
and even though I have been generally optimistic about the economy (and life in general) every year since 2011
I no longer see that as my "trend line" when I gaze into my 2016 Crystal Ball
. . . when there are collective challenges -- think 2007-2009 . . . there are always stories of hardship
and feelings of pain
I expect 2016 will have more than its share of these stories
as the collective energy is one of fragmentation
in psychic-land parlance, the collective energy is jagged (meaning it is moving in a stilted tight motion) . . . this usually means tension and stress are the key components driving things forwards
and these states of being (of "jagged energy") almost always are both reflective of things not working well
in addition to being CAUSES for things not working well
in English, the tension you feel when things aren't going your way often sets you onto a line of behavior that only makes it worse
where if you had stayed calm at first, it would have passed with far fewer problems
not everyone will be impacted at the same level -- in 2007, many people suffered great loss, while others had great windfalls
same will hold true in 2016
my advice is to find your inner unicorn and practice kindness and keep connected to those you love
I do believe war, economic reversals, and a general sense of "dis ease" will be major themes over the next 24-36 months
this doesn't mean that you can't prosper and be happy as can be
as I tried to say first in 2006 -- stuff may get funky pretty soon but it will pass; stay chill and ride it out
I expect 2016 to actually have financial challenges equal to (or worse) than those we saw from 2007-2010
however, many will prosper and find it a magical joyous time
do yourself a favor and be one of those people
2016 -- "it's complicated"
