Structuring Change

1506 NumbersSome changes are easy and feel very freeing. Others are more demanding and require that we learn to work with new limitations.

So guess which one is up for this month?

Yeah, *sigh*, it’s the one we’re less likely to choose.

It’s a month where our past decisions in favour of unfettered slackerdom will come to bite us in the hindmost body part. Or where self-serving structures will be broken apart in favour of those that serve a larger community.

If revolutions and ineffectual complaints are going on around us, we don’t have to buy in. Focus on what changes you want to see, imagine the structures that will support making them happen and take a leadership role in getting them in place.

Even though it’s an uphill climb this month – over rocky ground – the energies support change that benefits the community. Consider the obstacles as things that turn up to make your structures even stronger. Don’t give up!

Hard Time

1505 Numbers

Oh, would that there were an easier path. Not so much this month.

We’ve got a combination here that indicates a whole lot of hard work. And that’s the positive possibility.

On the negative side, we’ve got a bunch of rigid, dogmatic individuals butting heads, with no one ready to back down. We’ll be up against the kettle of fish we’ve put ourselves into as a species. It’s time to deal with the places that we were total slackers, expecting others to handle the issues. Reckoning time, so to speak.

Everyone’s up against their limitations, especially those they’ve created themselves. Obstinacy is the bugaboo of the month. The year, in general, brings out abilities to take charge and move forward. But those abilities are severely hindered by obstinate individuality, by connection to detail rather than the big picture. I rarely suggest that you stop hugging trees, but this month I will. Instead, hug the whole dang forest.

Those who accept responsibility for their part in the difficult situations will be the ones who can move things forward. They’ll be doing more than their share, but they’ll be making use of the positive possibilities this month. All that detail work and organization has to happen (remember, we’re all making up for lost time), but it will happen successfully only with constant input and with constant attention to the big picture.

I know it’s not an easy environment to be in the midst of, but use the energies to clean up old stuff when it presents itself. Overspending, letting others handle what you should be managing, selfish bulldozing of others needs are all areas that come up for management. It’s nose to the grindstone to handle the cleanup, but there’s deep progress to be made.

If it feels like a prison sentence, at least it’s a short 31-day sentence. The alternative is a much higher pile of, er, poop to clean up next time this sort of energy cycles around.




Numerology is one of the especially helpful tools for making the best use of energies we’d rather skip.  Get in touch when you need.

Expressing Integrity

1504 Numbers

There’s a special push to put things into form this month. Building projects that have been on hold resume construction. Businesses that have been a nebulous idea are finally incorporated. Sculptors love this energy, because they’re all about expression through form.

The energy can be summed up as expression with form and integrity. In the arts, this is also a satisfying energy for dancers and choreographers, as long as they’re not trying to overdo and push their physical limits. Focus on the beauty of the line and what you mean to express with it.

For the rest of us mere mortals, attending art exhibits or any of the performing arts (with especial emphasis on sculpture and dance) will allow us to be witness to those remarkable moments of artistic genius.

Expressing ourselves through our businesses and through the businesses we choose to be associated with is also a strong encouragement this month. Again, it’s a time to ask whether our business dealings express who we are; what’s our integrity in the world of commerce?

The energy is social this month and can favour cliques and societies. That can cause sore feelings amoung outsiders. If you’re on the outside, find connections with others by speaking your truth with consideration for the differences in people. In fact, that’s great advice for everyone this month! If you’re an insider, enjoy your special connections but be sensitive to exclusivity or superiority complexes.

Whatever the opportunities, express yourself!

Elegant Expression

1503 2005divinemessenger
Divine Messenger, Colin Terris, paperweight, 2005

There’s an elegance and visionary quality to the numbers for March. It’s an excellent time to be open for Divine inspiration pertaining to your involvement in business or those areas where you’re the one in charge. How do you express yourself on the material plane?

Decision-making can feel a little more dicey than at other times this year, and much more so than last month. We’re all of a more divided mind, perhaps feeling one thing while thinking another, perhaps able to feel equal weight in the pros and cons. Often, it’s likely to be, “I want to do one thing, but I know I should be more considerate”.

This combination of numbers can lead to some uncomfortable feelings, with a sense of crankiness about facing things we don’t want to look at. Specifically, how our materialism impacts our relationships or our sense of Divine “rightness”. We could be hyper-sensitive to criticism about putting our position before our friendships, or putting the bottom line before the people in the company. That can apply to us as consumers, as well as producers.

There are beautiful opportunities to make materialism and commerce an avenue for heart-felt connections, if we stay open to inspiration. Be more attached to being a messenger for the Universe than to the empire you’ve built up – or to any guilt associated with your empire-building. Put it aside and connect with the people around you, discovering how leaders can connect with the individuals they lead as peers.

Yes, as peers! There’s a brilliant push toward cooperation, that paradisiacal notion of walking side by side, even with the Creator. We all get to be expressive in this paradigm.

Let your material side bring you closer to others!

 



Finding how your personal numbers rub up against the Universal energies we’re discussing is just one way you can make use of my services.

You can look at the January and February posts for an idea of the flow of the year so far.

Power On!

1502 power on

February is a very upfront, in your face, make it happen month this year.

Thoughtlessness and self-absorption are in the air. Power tripping is the mode of choice.

But that end of the energy spectrum will quickly be slapped down. Or, at least, not rewarded. Eight demands integrity, honesty and a connection with the Divine for success.

Remember that we’re looking at the universal energies each month. Your personal energies may or may not blend well with what’s going on around you. It’s helpful to know the backdrop against which you’ll be using your own energies. These looks at the trends of the universal month can help you understand internal conflicts you may be coming up against. And they can help you ride the currents.

Even if you’re not a business person, this is a very business-oriented month, with lots of individualism centre stage. Sounds very much like the American brand of capitalism. We all know the down side when that runs amok. But that’s not the whole picture.

The Universe will provide opportunities for self-awareness this month. How are you when you stand alone? What’s your leadership style? Do you take opportunities to use your marketable skills?   Do you jump on the chance to be centre stage?

If you’ve been looking to start a business venture, the universal flow can help you. It’s a matter of jumping on opportunities, rather than having to push to get something going.

And here’s the secret key to the month: sensitivity to others is a powerful tool to self-understanding. As you’re jostling others, elbow to elbow this month, remember that we’re all part of a big mix. Recognize that being yourself is an important trigger to allowing others to be themselves.

How do you take executive action in your own life? It’s time to take charge!

As Above, So Below

1501 Numbers

We’re full tilt speeding into our 8 Universal Year (2 + 0 + 1 + 5).

It’s a very good thing that we recharged our batteries last year by deepening our connection with the sacred. We’ll need that constant energy source this year.

Whatever we’re dealing with on a personal level (and you can get help with your personal numerology chart, of course), it will be against the background of the demanding 8.

8 is often seen as the business number, the number of commerce and executive action. It’s seen as a materialistic number.

But that ain’t but the half of it. Those connected circles in the 8 demand an Hermetic “as above, so below” accountability. We don’t get to dive into money-making and material accumulation without taking our sacred side with us.

On its side, 8 becomes the infinity symbol, the lemniscate. Those qualities of balance and connection between opposites don’t disappear just because we turn the figure on its end. If we let our aggressive side take the leash, without attention to our receptive side, life will bite us in the arse until we’re balanced again.

So, as we dive into the busy-ness of commerce, we need to stay connected with the sacred.

And this is a great month to explore what commerce is really about. How does it allow us to connect with each other’s true needs? How does it allow us the space to be honest with each other? How can it be all-inclusive?

The impetus will be expansive and outward this month. Allow yourself to be drawn into a bigger environment, higher altitudes. Leave behind what’s outdated, what no longer reflects your true self.

You’ll find your feet are still on the ground. You haven’t flown, you’ve just stretched!

This Business of the Sacred

1410 numbers

 

We took a look at what happens when an 8 month meets a 7 year in January. All that information is going to revisit you at a deeper level this month. You’ve been through almost a whole year of discovering the sacred from varied perspectives.   You’ve spiraled deeper into your Self.

And you’re going to need all that this month. 8 demands accountability in the material world.

Often, people dealing with 8 look like all they care about is money or status or material wealth. Yes, that can be an unhealthy illustration of the 8 energy. But the healthy reason that people with 8 influences care about the material world is that they have a deeper understanding that our lives reflect our souls. As within, so without. As above, so below. The loop above reflected in the loop below.

So, look at the elements of your life in light of the truth you’ve discovered about yourself and what you hold sacred. Does your business reflect who you are and what you hold sacred? Does your house? Your financial investments? Your possessions?

Do you attempt to make changes from the outside in? Can you accept a process that begins from the inside? Do you already recognize successful areas of your life that reflect your sacred truth?

Let your life reflect your connection to the sacred. If you don’t love what you see, leave the mirror alone. Instead, examine the truth inside you.

Develop intimacy with your sacred self and let it bloom in your life.

The numbers of the new year

 

And 2014 is the year to find yourself in your sacred space.

This is the year when the overall tone is about spiritual awareness.  We’ve all got our personal missions within that tone.  We’ll need to frame our missions within spiritual awareness.

Specifically, notice what the circumstances are of your life, the mundane realities.  Notice how they’ve defined you.  Where do you see the Divine at work in your life?  (And are you allowing room for divinity?)  And how does all that add up to colour your relationships with others?

Now, how do you make all that profane world sacred?  All day, every day?  Do you have to redefine sacred?

And how can you do it without denying the profane?  (Or the profanity)

This month, January, we’ll all be discovering the honesty and authenticity of the practical application of our individual sacred paths.  There may be some brutal awakenings and reckonings.

Consider this month a learning period, a time to get used to the idea of sanctity amidst profanity, as well as a time to encounter our authenticity.

We’ll be applying the first throughout the year.

And we’ll have a chance to make changes based on what we learn about the second throughout the year.  In October, we’ll get to revisit the authenticity of our journey to see how much more honest we are in our spiritual awareness after almost a year of life and love and creativity.

For now, discover your own sanctified path through life and travel it boldly!

Weekly Card 8 of Swords Revisited

131024 Herbal 8 of Swords
The Herbal Tarot

 

Ruh-roh!

Those inner battles have you locked into the same old non-productive thinking.

We’ve looked at  8 of Swords before  so you’ve already got some good ideas about how to deal with being stuck.   Let’s go deeper . . . .

You may have noticed the plants on the Herbal Tarot cards we’ve met.    They indicate prescriptions to make the best use of the conditions indicated by each card.   Before you go running off to purchase and use herbs without the advice of an experienced herbalist, let’s consider the energetics behind the 8 of Swords prescription.

Black Cohosh can be used when spasms keep a situation from moving forward.   Think of those times when you’ve gone into emotional spasms:  they just kept you in the same loop, didn’t they?  Or how about those ineffective stop and go attempts to launch a project?

The idea behind the prescription for 8 of Swords is to be able to relax and be calm.   Calm perception allows us to reflect, to gain insight, to recognize our aims.   We can use our fetters  to release the thoughts that bind us, to be open to the new ideas ready to be born.

Little exercises like writing your name vertically with a positive characteristic for each letter are a good use of time when restricted.

So is asking some 8 of Swords questions:  who or what are you expecting to rescue you?  who or what do you trust in the current situation?  how or where will you escape?   how do you make things happen when you can’t see clearly or when you can’t manipulate the elements?

Open your mind to the possibilities for a deeper truth and make ready for the expansion to come!

Weekly Card 8 of Wands

 Winged Spirit Tarot
131010 RWS 8 of Wands
Rider Waite Smith Tarot

Out of the way!  We’re coming through!!

And we’re moving fast, to boot.

8 of Wands is the movement card.

Whatever is in process is moving quickly now.  Obstacles get swept aside as it moves.  And that includes you, if you don’t stay out of your own way.

It’s important to remember purpose when 8 of Wands appears.  Your purpose — your vision, your goal — has the support of the universal flow.   Any and all of the details pertaining to your purpose will be up for attention; if you get caught up in them, instead of keeping focus on the point of the details, you’ll find yourself tumbling arse over tea kettle in the strong currents.

Since 8 of Wands is in motion, travel can be connected.  Sometimes it’s the metaphoric creative journey with its secret insights, other times it’s literal, geographical travel, with all the whirlwind spontaneity and sense of adventure that comes with fiery Wands.

What would you say about a combination of 8 of Wands with 8 of Swords?  What about 8 of Wands with XIX Sun?

Connect 8 of Wands with some of your favourite cards to see what high-spirited motion lends to them.

You’re in service to spirit this week: enjoy the ride!

The beautiful card at the top of the post is from the Winged Spirit Tarot by David Sexton.
