Maria Duval predicted that Pluto came back into Capricorn on January 26th 2008 and will stay there until March 24th, 2023, on which date it will move into Aquarius. But the phenomenon of retrogradations (2° by Capricorn on April 03, 200 8) will mean it will be back for several months (from June 15th to November 27th) in the sign of Sagittarius.

Maria and many astrologers think this period will be crucial for the major changes that will figure in the future of the Earth.

Pluto in Sagittarius and terrorism

We have seen that the passage of Pluto through the Fire sign of Sagittarius coincided with a surge of religious extremism and a proliferation of acts of terrorism, reaching their climax with the events of September 11th 2001.

But Pluto, like all the planets, has a negative function and a positive function: it has also allowed humanity to step up a gear in communication techniques and computer networks. In fact, the Internet has literally exploded since 1996, the date on which Pluto entered Sagittarius.

What should we expect to happen to us with Pluto in Capricorn? …

We caught a first glimpse of things to come towards the end of January 2008, at the very moment when the planet entered this sign in its slightest degree.

The world of finance was shocked to learn that a lowly trader at the French bank Société Générale had in fact lost this company 5 billion euros thanks to ‘an elaborate portfolio of fictitious transactions’.

Pluto in Capricorn and the end of capitalism

This Earth sign and its planet Saturn correspond to “everything that is hard and everything that lasts”.
In this case, the Law, the property market (Saturn= stone), the authorities and the banking institutions, not to forget the education system.

And that’s just the start, since we know that the Plutonian metamorphosis is set to continue through to 2023!

As far as the property market is concerned, the crisis is well and truly underway in the US, with the sub-prime (risky loans) crisis, with banks having granted mortgages at variable rates without concerning themselves with the possible insolvency of its debtors, and the escalating world oil and food prices.

Of course, other Western countries – including France – run the risk of going down the same path and this may lead, sooner or later to a world economic recession. This may be the case, but it doesn’t mean we need necessarily fear cataclysmic upheaval. We should, rather, be studying the positive consequences of the Plutonian mutation into Capricorn.

It is now clear that the stock exchange system has spun out of control, even if all the specialists agree that the ‘crashes’ of the past can be more easily avoided than before. But, for some years now, the signs have become more and more blatant, and people are starting to work out just how it is that the banks have so much money.

They are increasingly coming to the realisation that this money is virtual, that speculation is not only unfair but also ever more dangerous for the world economy. Isn’t it unfair that a mere trader can earn millions of euros in a single day while so little is done to help the poor?

On May 17th, 1792, the New York stock exchange came into being when 24 brokers decided to apply a uniform rate of commission to all sales of stock. ‘Wall Street’, the largest financial market in the world, was born!

If we look at the astral chart corresponding to that day, we see that Pluto was polarised against the Sun-Mercury duo in Taurus, and the Moon, allied to Saturn, was opposing Jupiter-Neptune.

In other words: the fight was on!

The divide between the rich and the poor gets wider year after year, with African countries suffering increasingly from famine, the impact of global warming becoming ever more costly and the invention of so-called climate refugees!

Conclusion: the time has well and truly come to reform the world of finance. And it’s Pluto that will drive this change over the coming fifteen years. Capitalism is, quite clearly, living its last few years, at least in its current form, since it is damaging the economic stability of the planet.

Pluto is, rightly, called “The Great Upholder of the Law”: it takes the lid of intrigues, plots, embezzlements, frauds, injustices and scams. So this major clean-up may see in a new era of greater transparency in banking, new rules governing stock exchanges and most importantly: a fairer and more balanced distribution of wealth.

At the same time, however, all excesses are possible. So we have to expect a long-term accommodation crisis, an economic recession and extremely tense relations between world governments. Since the cyclical indices are set to hit their lowest point in 2017, we may assume that hope will return from that crucial year onwards, setting things back on a more even keel and laying the foundations of a new world from 2023 (truly the start of the Age of Aquarius?).

Of course, everything depends not only on the free will of humanity as a whole, but also on the free will of each individual!

We mustn’t forget that every drop of the Ocean contributes, in its own, unique way.

The end of the year 2008 will reveal whether the definitive ingress of Pluto in Capricorn will coincide with these changes, for better or for worse!

Above are psychic Maria Duval’s broad prediction in the Pluto of Capricorn age, which we are in now.

We can explore mysterious world which is beyond the detection of our five normal sense through a very special kind of profession called psychics and mediums. They open a door for us to reach that astral plane which is another dimension in our Universe and this is the supernatural world of spirits which many people do not believe to exists.

Scientifically, no one has proved the existence of this astral plane but there are researches about the out -of-body (OBE) experience which may prove to be way how science can explain the psychic phenomenon.

Everyone knows we only use a tenth of our brain resources. So have anyone wondered is the other 90% lying there dormant and wasted? It would not be wise to suggest that. Is this 90% the key to explain the psychic mystery? Or the sixth sense?

In actual fact, Maria Duval has explained that we develop psychic ability is due to the fact that we are smaller in size as compared to wild beasts in the very ancient time. Human beings with intelligence and that keen sixth sense are just too powerful even for the strongest of wild beasts. The ability to sense, that which lies beyond our five senses, would have been an invaluable tool to early man.

Some people dismiss the idea of psychic talent in us but that does not mean it does not exist. This is a very huge mystery which our modern equipment and techniques are unable to measure or detect. Yet,
the possibility of psychic ability, in our mysterious universe, is still a plausible explanation for many unexplained phenomenon.

It stands to reason that the psychic abilities should be considered as a viable alternative explanation to recognized unexplained paranormal phenomenon like clairvoyance until scientific findings can tell us otherwise.

Only when all the possible plausible explanations, hypothesis, and theories have been tested subjectively using the scientific method and disproved can any true scientist or skeptic state with 95% confidence that psychics and human psychic abilities do not exist.

According to Maria Duval, the psychic and astrologer, it takes around 240 years for planet Pluto to travel around the zodiac as Pluto is the slowest planet when compared to the rest of the planets. Pluto in Capricorn is an astrological event which often sees major transformation in the Earth, like politics and social changes. Interesting, there were a few major changes in the history of mankind when the spell from Pluto in Capricorn last happened from 1776 to 1791.

Maria Duval World Astrology

If we flip open the history and look back, during this period of time, there was the French Revolution, the creation of the United States, power struggles with the hierarchical status quo and the independence of peoples. The same period that saw the American Independence, 1776 to 1791, also corresponds to the disintegration of English supremacy in the Americas.

In addition, Maria Duval points to the fact that French Revolution was in fact part of a chain of revolutions playing out across western Europe and the Americas: the American Revolution (1770-1783), revolutionary troubles in Ireland and England (1780-1783), revolution in the United Provinces (1783-1787), democratic revolutions in Geneva (1766-1768 and 1782), all under the influence of Pluto in Capricorn.

Looking even further back in time, in around 1530, Pluto in Capricorn saw the introduction by Henry VIII of Anglicism, causing a schism with the Catholic church.

This is world astrology Maria Duval is talking about during the period of Pluto in Capricorn which influences and guides some countries, such as the British Isles, China and the whole of Asia. Pluto is a planet of transformation and Capricorn represents the sign allied to power.

So Maria Duval regards that both the United States and the UK are both facing a period of transformation. It’s also the first time the US will see the return of Pluto to its original position (for around 240 years).

Furthermore, Capricorn also represents regions of Asia in a state of flux. Buddhism may well see a resurgence, while Christianity and Islam are entering periods of schism and division.

Correspondingly, the last transit of Pluto through Capricorn (1762) coincided with the decline of the Monarchy that lay at the root of the French revolution in 1789.

That’s why we may see some major changes in the next 2 decades!

People always say words like “if I strike lottery this weekend and win $100,000″, “if only I was born in a rich family, or “if only I could have the ability to do that….then I’d be the happiest person in the world.”

Right, it’s true that with right mentalities and qualities. Maria Duva says that the Law of Attraction will shower you with rewards you richly deserve as long as you also share with the Universe your own resources and have a positive mindset to view the world. But, all of us need to put in our firm foundation to prepare for the arrival of these riches from Universe. Plan and assess what you can do to help yourself, rather than hoping or wishing that something external to you will change.

As we grow, we view events around us differently and we are also shaped by the environments around us. Due to this shaping or molding to fit in with what we see, we begin to lose touch with our own essence. Like a child being born in a violent family may grow up to be a violent person, firmly believing that violence is the only way to solve to problems, and the docile society just do not fit him or do not trust him. So he may begin to commit heinous crimes to justify his belief. No matter how, that violence will always be lurking in the background and comes out in anger, frustration or hurt from time to time.

The bottom line is that no matter what circumstance you’re born into, we all form an identity/ego so that we can function in the world.

A larger percentage of people than you’d think carry the childhood fears, doubts and uncertainty into their adult life, and this creates great pain when certain events or interactions trigger that insecurity.

Having said all this, if you consider for a moment what it takes to create a human, you’ll understand that each and every one of us is a miracle born with amazing abilities (that most of us take for granted of course).

And yet, equally with doubt, we find ourselves living in a period where most people in developed countries have more materials items and modern conveniences than in any other generation in the past and still there is disharmony. With the constant looking to the future to attain a certain goal combined with wanting everything now, it’s a recipe for unhappiness!

I believe that future is present….. Everything will be the same, except replicated in different circumstances. How you feel now is the same well you will feel in the future. If we want our future to be better, we HAVE to do something and take some steps to improve our situations now, if not, it will be the same as NOW five years or twenty years into the future. We always hope the future will be better, or simply tomorrow will be better, but do you know the being better is all within your own control? We have a destiny to choose and pursue, no matter what families you were born in.

To perceive future will be better is actually a positive state of mind I so strongly encourage you to adopt immediately.I really do not wish to hear anyone perceiving future as bad and then start to abuse themselves behaviorally. So, let us go out and find the key to the good news so that in the future you will still have this goodness with you!

There is a movie called “The Sixth Sense“. It was quite a famous movie some years back and you might have watched it then. This movie is about ESP, or extra sensory perception. Simply it means sensory information received without inputs from our normal five senses.

Some people like Maria Duval were born with natural ESP ability that allow them to sense more than what we could see, hear and feel. Their intuition levels are higher too and it is as if their were supernatural. But too often, societies view them as outcasts, or freaks and shun them, as we relate the world only to our five innate senses.

Despite of this rejection, we continue to learn a lot of things from people with ESP talents. We discover that all of us are actually psychic in nature, meaning this talent can be learned by embarking to a journey that travels inward into our deepest spiritual self to discover that long lost ability in us.

There are many kinds of ESP psychic classes like clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairempathy, psychometry, psychokinesis, intuition, telepathy, mental influence, psychic healing and auric sight. Each of these special abilities is a mystery even in today’s advanced sciences and scientists still cannot understand why there is such thing as ESP in us. But one thing is for sure, each of this ESP ability makes a really good script for the next blockbuster movie!

Sometimes you just feel as if you have been to this place before, even though you are visiting that place for the first time..the place seems so comfortable to you and you just sense it’s familiar. Or you met someone for first time, yet it’s like you know the person from somewhere..Recently, I met a vendor. When I opened my office door, that familiar feeling surged me, and I immediately told him about this familiar feeling. He sensed the same thing too, but we couldn’t recall when was that…I not sure too, maybe i knew him in the past life?

That’s a distinct possibility as I believe in such thing called past life. Maria Duval mentioned about past life too, as do many great spiritual men.

Subconsciously, your mind records your past events that happened in your past life and that’s why you find it familiar today. Do you know that our subconscious is part of our spiritual soul and this soul accompanies you from life to life. It may appear absurd and this is the mystery where modern science can’t solve or explain.

Ever heard aboutthe story of a psychiatrist who hypnotized a patient. While in the hypnotic state, past life memories that were stored in the patient’s subconscious mind were awakened and she gave stunning details of her past life experiences.

In Buddhism, there is always the mentioning of past life and how we are like and what place we life or what life we lead today is always linked to our past life. It’s an external cycle of suffering and to break free from this endless cycle, one has to achieve the purest state of enlightenment. This is the core of the idea.

If you have ever wondered about the possibility of past lives, a little research may end any doubts that you may have had.

How a Blind Date Can Increase Your Psychic Abilities

So how can a blind date increase your psychic abilities? It’s probably not what you’re thinking. We’re not talking about having a few drinks with someone you’ve never met before. We’re talking about developing your psychic abilities by deliberating shutting down one or more of your five senses.

Because we are such physical creatures, we have a tendency to use our five senses in everything we do. That’s not a bad idea for driving, walking, or working on the computer, but if you want to increase your psychic or spirit abilities, using your five senses less will help.

That’s where the blind date comes in. A blind date is where you blindfold yourself and have a buddy walk you around on a “date.” Your buddy’s job is to make sure that you’re safe and you don’t walk into anything or fall in a ditch. Your buddy is your guide and will lead you around, keeping you safe and upright.

Your part of this date is to extend your psychic abilities outward as your buddy walks you around. Sense what is around you. Do you sense a large object ahead or just open space? Sense what is behind and above you as well, since your psychic abilities will allow you to see in 360 degrees.

You might want to have your buddy walk you around for a while, in many directions until you no longer have a sense of where you are. Then spin slowly around and extend your spirit perceptions. Tell your buddy what you sense in each direction and have him or her tell you if you’re right.

If you don’t have a buddy to do this with, you can do it by yourself outside. Start in a relatively open space and just move slowly so you don’t get hurt. Give a whole new meaning to the term “blind date,” right?

One of the most previous life lesson I learn from clairvoyant Maria Duval is that money is a form of spiritual energy that flows around. So to maintain your life to be debt free, I need to learn the spiritual side of it as well. So i understand there are three main spiritual aspects regarding money: sharing, trust and gratitude.

When I mention these aspects, some people will gasp, “oh no, not all these stuff again!” People would rather believe in the cutthroat behavior of us than listening to someone preaching about showing gratitude to things around. I have to say here, be grateful of what you have, and stop complaining!

Why is gratitude important?

Many people around this country are poor. They struggle from paycheck to paycheck. They are the silent majority yet they work hard just to ensure they heads are above the water. Rather than adopting a bad attitude to it, look at it from another angle.

Yes, your pockets may seem to be filled with holes. Nonetheless, be grateful! Instead of whining, put your time and effort on making money to live a debt-free lifestyle. Many successful people started nothing in life too.

Remember to share what you have in life, no matter how meager it is. I always heard people saying I am so poor so how’s it possible I can help others? Without sharing, there is really no spiritual force acting on you and bring back good things to your life.

I just love scented candles. The scent emitted is known to improve total mood and the disposition of a person because they contain essential oils. Some how, I am influenced by a couple of friends who are really fervently into this. They regard it as alternative medicine or additional therapy as the mainstream medical practices do not recognize them as serious professional practice.

For example, I am sure you have heard of aromatherapy. This is the use of a richly scented candle to enhance your mood and provision. The scented candles contain essential oils which are known to have calming and curative properties.

And when these scented candles are lighted, your mood would be improved as the scent calm you down through its scent. So a good way to utilise aromatherapy in your life is by burning oils essential on burners with oil to allow the salutary perfume to impregnate a room. There are many different kinds of candles which will “work” on different moods you wish to achieve. My friend who has constant migraine believes that scented candle can relax her and make her head clearer!

If you have a problem of sleep, the candles with perfumes such as jasmine or lavender can help you to slacken and improve your model of sleep. You can appreciate the scented candles aromatherapy all by yourself, or with a associate, or a group. You can use the candles scented while taking a bath instead of employing the light of bathroom.

You can also light several candles scented in your room to sleep while you spend time with your partner. In this way you will have a great time with your loved ones!

How to gather, store and circulate energy (qi, prana, life-force) and being aware of the vibratory nature of our body and mind, are central to any yoga or qigong practice. You may be asking how to achieve this spiritual state? To “acquire” more spiritual energy would imply the creation of a container, of boundaries.

One way is to learn to utilize the energy/intelligence of the pelvic floor, the “base” upon which our entire torso rests. The first step in doing this is simply to let our awareness circulate more freely in the lower belly, and to encourage an opening or widening of the skeletal and muscular structures of the pelvic floor.

Can we actually feel the muscles that flow between our two sitting bones? Can we actually feel the muscles that connect the pubic bone with the coccyx (tailbone)? Each of these sets of muscles is a diaphragm ~ similar in structure to the more well-known “diaphragm” located at the lower edge of our ribcage.

And in the same way that our thoracic (ribcage) diaphragm helps us to breathe more deeply, the diaphragms of the pelvic floor can help us to “breathe” energy: to draw life-force from the surrounding environment into the field of our bodymind. We can begin to activate this mechanism simply by imagining that we’re “breathing” through our sitting-bones (as though they were our “nostrils”).

Another way is to sit quietly in a room where you’re not likely to be disturbed, for the duration of the practice. Now look at one of the walls … and begin to imagine that you are yourself becoming a wall: feel the rigid, impenetrable quality of the wall, and allow those qualities to enter into the very cells of your body. Feel yourself becoming “wall-like” on all sides of your being: not letting anything in or out, hyper-vigilant, rigid, contracted. Maintain this state of being for ten minutes, or so.

Now, turn to face the door of the room. Let go of those qualities of “wall-ness,” and let yourself, instead, begin to adopt ~ into the very cells of your body ~ the qualities of a door. Feel within yourself the capacity to be open, fluid, completely relaxed about comings and goings … completely open to any and all phenomenon that appear within the field of your senses, the field of your experience as a human being. Be completely open. Maintain this state of being for twenty minutes, or so. Notice how you feel.

If we practice this for 60 days, we can become more & more comfortable remaining “open” to the experiences, to the flow of our lives. Also important (at the beginning stages of the practice, in particular) is to notice the choices we have along a whole spectrum (from 100% closed to 100% open) … and to become more & more adept at consciously choosing where we place ourselves, in a given situation, along this spectrum. To ask: what feels “safe” to me, and why? And to become more and more comfortable with this (and all!) paradox …
