Age 2, 50, 98
EGO COMMUNICATION
Cycle: energy/consolidation/change
Phase: ego
Phase Type: energy/consolidation/change
Year: social
Year Type: change
Expression: immature communication/proud communication/philosophical communication
Astrology: At 2 you're Aries-Gemini and energizing; at 50 you're Leo-Gemini and consolidating; at 98 you're Sagittarius-Gemini (opposition) and changing.
Like a 2-year old child, your ego does the communicating this year and it is likely to be 'me me me' all the way. If thwarted, you may not throw a tantrum at the supermarket, prostrate yourself, foam at the mouth and pull all the dog food cans off the shelves, but your social skills this year are definitely going to be similar to that of a 2-year old child.
At 50, you are a proud communicator, expecting everyone to bow and kowtow to what you consider to be your superior eloquence and knowledge. The sad thing about this year for a 50-year-old is that you will be seen as a pompous ass in much the same way as the 2-year-old seen as a spoilt brat.
On one hand you have a desire to communicate and tell people how wonderful you are and how much you know -- and it may very well be worthwhile for them to hear it -- but few people are going to listen to what you have to say when it is designed to puff yourself up at their expense.
Also, because your ego is heavily involved in what you say, you are likely to be incredibly sensitive to criticism. You want to be right at all costs. You want to talk longer and louder and smarter than anyone else. A gentle criticism or a misunderstood exchange could lead to major confrontations, or a total communication breakdown.
The lesson for this year -- and especially so for the 98-year-old in a year of opposition -- is to control your communications. Keep quiet. Say nothing, write nothing. The more you say the less control you'll have and the more likely you'll say something foolish. A 98-year-old has a lifetime of incredible knowlege to impart -- but this year you are more likely to be ridiculed than applauded.
However, the most frightening scenario for those in the ego communication year, with an ego heavily invested in what he or she says, is becoming a sitting duck for mischievous others to manipulate into a caricature of a pompous ass for their amusement.
A 2-year old deserves understanding for ego driven behaviour because his speech and self-control has not yet developed. At 50 there is no such understanding. Even people who would not generally enjoy torturing others tend to get stuck into ego communicators, so if you have a great deal to say this year you could put it in writing and hold off publication for two years and then return to it and assess how much is worthwhile knowledge and how much is simply an ego trip.
At 98 there is opposition between social change (communcation) and ego change (personal development), typically expressed as a clash between what you're saying and what you're doing but at 98 you will be radiating so much abundance and joviality and experiencing such a renewed intellectual vigour and speed that others may tolerate you. With your ego in release mode you will say some shocking things! At your age, you may say, you have a right to say whatever you want to say. Hooray to that! However, being an opposition year you risk antagonizing those who care for you, so be careful.
