JULY/AUGUST NUMEROLOGY NOTES…

So as you no doubt know, I took a break in general from the monthly numerology watches.  I’ve alluded to some changes and you’re probably wondering what’s going on.  Fact is, sometimes coinciding the monthly numerology watches with the main class newsletter has taken its toll on my writing energy in general.  As well, several people have trouble with newsletters that contain as much data as the TSRT newsletter has grown to contain.  In looking to also keep up with internet technology, etc., I’ve also known that coding the newsletter, preparing for class and writing “in the zone” are energies that are not exactly conducive with each other in the limited time/space they have been teamed together in.  Because of this, and because I want to get back to enjoying my writing and channeling my numerology, and make it easier on everyone, I have made the decision to split the “main” newsletter into two parts.  From now on, expect the main numerology watches to go out to the list separate from the main newsletter announcements for class – probably a couple weeks after.  Dividing the work and energies will be a great help to me as I continue to provide these free resources.  It will also help me go down the desired path of eventually developing a more robust publication of interest, a goal I’ve had since the beginning.  I am still working on the redesign, but at least this gives you an idea of where we’re going, even if I am baby-stepping through it.  I am, after all, a one-woman hurrah.

I went further and even took a real break – getting my family on the road and taking our first family vacation in over 11 years.  And after my little vacation to the heart of Arizona and the Grand Canyon, I’m feeling refreshed and you are probably asking, “But what can you tell me numerologically for now? Do I really have to wait longer before I can hear something more?”

Here’s the thing.  I’m actually not just looking at a single month at the moment.  It’s a cliché, but there really is a lot going on in 2012.  Just try to tell me you haven’t felt it.  Just try to tell me this year feels “average” for you.  Right…. don’t forget what I do for my life’s work.  All I look at is energy patterns.  And inevitably, right now I’ve been led into analyzing the presidential race, the rest of 2012 and a new pattern I’m immersed in studying.  I will be telling you about it, but until I get more work done and a clearer framework, there’s not much to tell you just yet, however yes, a lecture is coming out of it.  It’s going to have to.  Far more here than a simple blog post can contain.  For now I can tell you that we are under arches of numerological significance from July 26-31 and August 7-9, with July 26 being an incredibly potent day.  July 26th carries the energy of The Martyr (sacrifice) as well as The Spiritual Teacher (example).  It pings the chord for the entire week, but on that day in particular, spiritual messages really should be listened to.  And yes, you absolutely must be the better person in that altercation or uncomfortable situation you find yourself in.  Yeah you.  I am talking to you.

Things afoot?  Already I can tell you that November is turmoil.  Sorry, I have no other word for the energy right now.  I am literally expecting volcano, earthquake and tsunami energy at the end of this year, which might carry the face of a hurricane too or instead.  No – I am not going apocalyptic on you.  I am however seeing the energy pattern.  And these energies?  They are the catalytic kind.  It doesn’t mean other things won’t happen, but these energies are the turning points, the places where other events and energies shift and flow from.  No, I am not in a panic, nor am I worried.  I’m just stating what I see. How to get through it?  Know.  Prepare.  Trust.  Don’t you go crazy when others do.  Holiday plans?  If you can get your most important preparations made by November 3, that’s best.  By Nov 10 at latest.  Past that point?  There’s a complex web of energies all thrown in there at once.  Maybe you’ll be that one person that sails through unaffected.  But most folks will be presented with opportunities to be side-tracked.  Plan now.  August’s energy is perfect for preparation.  Get your important things done.

Why do I say these things?  It’s as much for me as for you.  I’m a mom, this fall is holiday show season for me, my house is on the market, school is starting soon, I have colleges to look at – hey, I’ve a lot on my mind to organize at a fairly constant rate no matter what the year or energy present.  And many of us do.  But if I want to be efficient and feel at ease, I need to think of my year as being shorter than usual.  And I probably won’t count on the handmade market to be strong this fall.  Additionally, I covet every moment and memory with my husband and children, so if I want to enjoy the niceties of Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, I will be better served to plan now than too late.  Though flexibility is important all this year, important things – things that are personally important to you (so that means it’s different for everyone) will need their special attention upfront.  Think on it now.

With that stay tuned!  The main numerology watch will go out in a couple weeks!

Join me on the radio for Numerology on May 16th!

I will be doing live numerology on the national Blog Talk radio show “Awakening in Austin” by Sara Blumenfeld from 10-11am CT on Wednesday May 16th! This has been a few months in the coming, so I’m happy to say I’m finally able to do the interview!

Please join us live over the phone for the free readings or catch the recording afterward here: http://AwakeningInAustin.com. You will find a fine collection of other recorded radio shows from a variety of metaphysicians and healers there as well. Additionally, you might also be interested in the Awakening in Austin Facebook Group. Please tell Sara I sent you!

Note: When I do personal numerology for public events like these, I do not want your identity or names. I do these as anonymously as possible while still giving you value since numerology is based on your personal information. I only ask you for your birth date and the vowels of your full name at birth.

That also means I want to know how many of each vowel in the name as well. 2 A’s, 3 E’s, 4 O’s, etc. for the first, middle(s) and last names. So for instance in the name “George Washington Carver,” I would only want to hear from you the birth-date and “E, O, E, A, I, O, A, E.”

Hope to “see” you there!

May 2012 Heretical Numerology Watch

“Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

“Come on, girl,” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he could no longer restrain himself. “We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”

“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”
― Nyogen Senzaki, Zen Flesh, Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-zen Writings

“We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others.”
― José Emilio Pacheco

“When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears.”
― S.N. Goenka

Heretical Message:

Without love and without wisdom, judgment is not an enlightened state.

If you did not choose a life in politics, then pray for our politicians.

If you did not choose a life of the clergy, then pray for our clergy.

If you did not choose a life in business, then pray for our merchants.

If you did not choose a life as a laborer, then pray for our laborers.

If you did not choose a life as a teacher, then pray for our teachers.

If you did not choose a life as a parent, then pray for our parents.

The modern world makes it too easy for us to unfairly and un-spiritually judge others.

The label wars must come to an end.

If we have not walked a mile in someone else’s shoes… We. Do. Not. Know.

This year is already a roller-coaster of highs and lows.  Inspirations and discouragements.  Proud moments and those not so.  And it is not over yet. We are but 1/3 of the way through 2012 so far.  And when April closes, May opens on an equally intense note.

Monday April 30th and Tuesday May 1….  These dates are part of a short intense burst.  And I expect some safety issues around travel to manifest, including travel to/from work/school, your daily routines.  It would make a great 4-day weekend if you can take these two days off.  Otherwise, plan ahead and do not rely on last minute, fly by the skin of your teeth, activities to get through these days.  Prepare ahead so you can be more available to observe and help if needed.  Seriously.  When you are too busy being busy, how can you see to help others?  Or avoid the pit in front of you? And hey, speaking of travel, does everyone carry a fully stocked first-aid kit in their cars, along with an emergency bag (ie, water, change of clothes, blanket, food, cash)?  Perhaps it’s the tornadoes dancing near my brother’s house last night, but as I write this, I am reminded of childhood memories of Terrible Tuesday and having to find a hotel with just the muddy clothes on our backs after our neighborhood was destroyed.  Whether you are affected or not, someone you know might be.

The rest of May is less notable in terms of number patterns, with the exception of two other short bursts.  But that is not because it’s less active.  It’s because the entire months of May and June are slated for transitions, with some trickle following in July.  With windows as big as that, very little stands out in the deluge.

How does this work?  Well, this year as it falls, the energies of May fall along the line of Master Number 55, which I often associate with the Tower Card in tarot.  This involves two types of change: rebirth and renewal.  These are not the same energies.  This can also be read as replace and recycle.  They both involve matters of change, but different kinds.

Come June, we hit our challenge month of the year.  (There’s one every year.)  This year it’s a time to be faced with our worst enemies – ourselves.  Please remember that every thing that comes up during this vibrational window is not about others.  It is about you.  When others make decisions that just set you off, the lesson is to realize it’s not about them – there’s something for you to settle personally.  It will not come up if it’s not an issue you need to give attention to.  OK?  During this window we find that the energy of judgement itself is on trial.  Gossip and media are also on the chopping block.  Remember that facts are facts and emotions are emotions.  Both are real and both have their place.  When you notice a feeling being triggered “by someone else,” remember it is not a fact about that other person.  It is about you.  I expect this to be especially challenging with the political climate ahead.  It’ll be interesting to see who plays sides and who sticks by and listens to their brother.  We know that judgement based on race or skin color is wrong.  Likewise judgement based on any box is also wrong.

July is always interesting because it is when the US flips into a new annual vibrational cycle.  Our summer culture softens the transition, but I expect new frontiers in technology and science to be introduced during that time frame and by fall of this year, I expect scientific breakthroughs to take center stage.  We shift every summer and the eclipses will be there this year to help us.  I believe something outstanding is on the horizon.  I’m not sure how much attention it will get until later in the year though.

There will be some who attribute all these energies specifically to 2012.  This is not really because it’s 2012, though that will accentuate the matter.  This energy is here because it is here now, numerologically, at this time.

What to do?  What I always say: consciously choose how to channel this energy.

This is the forecast and being 2012, it does make for opportunities, if one will but seize them.  These are natural cycles of the Universe.  We are not victims.  We are creators and choosers.

If a wizard came to you and said, “Here, I give you this magical stone.  And with it, you can metaphorically ride any train farther and faster with less fuel,” what would you do?

Instead of expecting everything to be a wild ride and bracing yourself for it,  how about jumping on the back of that wild horse and decide where you want to go?

Bet you get there faster.

March/April 2012 Heretical Numerology Watch

“As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.”
– Benjamin Franklin

“By words we learn thoughts, and by thoughts we learn life.”
– Jean Baptiste Girard

“The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.  For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.”
– Luke 6:45

“However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?”
– Buddha

“Our words should be purrs instead of hisses.”
– Kathrine Palmer Peterson

“The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”
– Dorothy Nevill

“A writer lives in awe of words for they can be cruel or kind, and they can change their meanings right in front of you. They pick up flavors and odors like butter in a refrigerator.”
– John Steinbeck

We started March with this message: “Lay a foundation of flexibility and wisdom. Earthquakes are only devastating to the ill-prepared. And opportunities are only realized when you’ve allowed your soul to be open to them.”

Beginning mid March, we see more volatility in social economic events and a more intensified energy pattern that plays out through April. First half of April in particular will feel the most punch. During this time we will feel the pinch of responsibilities, rules, taxes, government, structure and need for balance more than we usually would this time of year.

Numerologically, expect politics to also have some notable affect on outcomes for the year. This is a time when policies go right or wrong. It’s fine and dandy to have theories, but proof is always in the pudding.

This is also a time when structures will be tested. Will it stand up to an earth quake we haven’t seen yet? Or will it be like Katrina was, something we had no idea how to be prepared for in advance? This is both metaphorically and physically how this energy plays out. Expect your resolve to be tested. Expect your beliefs to be tested, both religious and politically. You say you believe “x.” Maybe it’s not what it’s cracked up to be. If you are presented with new information about something you believe deeply, will you regard it, or avoid/ignore it. Language will be tested. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” (quote from The Princess Bride)

The energy of Justice and Libra (the Scales) will be stronger during this time, pushing each of us to play that balancing role of reserving judgment until the facts are all in. This is not the time to assume, jump the gun or make major decisions until we actually have an idea first what it’s all about. That means a little research, a little listening, a little thoughtfulness first. It also means sometimes the right thing is the unpopular thing or something that we are normally uncomfortable with. Lady Justice is a mother and she must be blind and fair. Will you be?

February/March 2012 Heretical Numerology Watch

“I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health.  I said, ‘There’s nothing that I can do for you that you can’t do for yourself.’  He said, ‘Oh yes you can.  Just hold my hand.  I think that would help.’ So I sat with him a while then asked him how he felt.  He said, “I think I’m cured.’”
~ Conor Oberst

“Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin.
It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.“
~ Frederick Buechner

“Compassion is not religious business, it is human business.
It is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability.
It is essential for human survival.”
~ Dalai Lama

“The dew of compassion is a tear.”
~ Lord Byron

Feb 27th, watch traffic and take your time getting to work and school.

Compassion is a word that is thrown around a lot, denied of it’s true nature and largely abused. It is easy to feel softly for that which we find comfortable. But can you shed tears for someone who believes in what you despise? Can you have true compassion for something that seems alien to you? Can you have compassion for those who rub you the wrong way?  And can you have compassion for the faces you cannot see?  Because if you cannot, we are doomed.

The burden of our modern age is to find our compassion for others in spite of the internet allowing us to not think of them as human, because there’s no face to interact with. In spite of charities, corporations and governments who tell us they will handle our giving for us, so we need not worry about it ourselves. In spite of politics that tell us that we are different from our brothers and can never be united and can never “both” be “right.” Compassion and Division do not harmonize. What messages from the mob do you receive? These are questions I ask and ponderings I pitch to you as we fully enter the 2012 cycle and year of the Dragon.

March – May….  This is the window to watch right now.  Starting in March we hit several pockets of highly intensified energies.  I expect to see what many will define as chaos.  However, this is a good wave to ride for clarity, vision and opportunities.  Read that as FOCUS, get your mitt ready and look for goodies to catch too.  Be ready to multi-task like never before.  Some very significant windows will fling open during this time, but these windows are also the short-lived kind.  There will be many.  Think of it like catching fire-flies.  There will be many, and catching them may take some focus and doing (and willingness to stumble and dance) but the little lights only come out for so long. You can also think of this like a game of pictionary.  Every puzzle is a challenge and an opportunity requiring communication for the win, but time is limited.  When a challenge heads your way, you want to tackle it and resolve it quickly.  Communicate clearly and without judgment.  Don’t over analyze and don’t blame.

This chaotic Mar-May feel also plays out physically and in the weather.  I still pick up rumblings of something important happening in southern CA. I think there will be more tornadoes, like we saw last year. I think it will snow somewhere at a time and/or place we consider unusual.  And I think by end of the year there will be a domestic incident/attempt in the US, but a significant window of opportunity is going to be during this Mar-May window of multiple windows.  There’s just an awful lot of intensified energies and energies that create challenges to juggle and jump through hoops with.  Expect to be challenged!  Right now is prep time, set the stage time, remember who you are time, research and listen time. This is slow time for a reason.  Come March, be ready to be flexible and act as things start hopping.  And don’t just duck the rocks that come your way, catch them!  April will intensify what March begins.  Communication is very key during this time.  Don’t avoid it, clarify and hone it!

Also… law making and policies are getting a stomping, especially come this fall.  If we were really following the Divine flow of this energy, we’d simplify, scrap some things and revamp others.  Since it seems unlikely, expect it to consequently hurt.  When we don’t flow, unintended consequences arise.  Don’t think it has to do with conspiracy of any particular group; it’s simply a matter of reap what you sow, on the grander, more complicated energy scale.  How we do things is shifting and this is pushing us.  How soon and how pleasant all this takes place is really up to us.  What will not help this shift is name calling and division.  I call on my friends not to participate in that.  I don’t care how annoying someone is or how much hurt you feel.  It’s your job to raise people up to your level, not stoop to anything lower.  It is also your job to listen and be open to ideas you have not considered before.  Consider your spheres of influence and make positive use of your influence.  Political parties and organized news are not where the Light is.  You are.

I know you’re waiting. I know you want to see what I’m going to write about numerology for 2012.  But you’re going to have to wait a few days longer.  With class beginning again this week and transitioning to new technology, the numerology watch will have to be written a bit late and sent separately this month. 

I have a lot of thoughts, just haven’t had a chance to write them.  Read the quotes.  Stay tuned…

I’ve been recently asked about 11-11-2011. And it’s the 3rd time I’ve been interviewed by a newspaper about number patterns in dates.  Instead of spending time on this in the current newsletter, I encourage you to read my previous articles on the subject.  Yes, 11-11 is special every year, as is November.  No, this year does not mean what you think.

The Answer Is No

What Is The Significance of 9-29-2009

The Greatest Mother

As we move into November, our nation’s month of Thanksgiving and Gratitude, the energies of the Divine Mother and Lady Justice become present with us.  Their images are expressed to me through memories of old paintings I remember seeing as a child at the local American Red Cross. My message is for the Enlightened. This is the way to channel this energy.  If not, negative and emotional this time can be.

Challenges arise at this time, especially around the Thanksgiving Holiday, but I stand by my notion that this may be the best time to spend with family all year.  The overriding theme at this time is a call to remain in the energy of gratitude, but also that of encouragement, mercy and forgiveness.

It is a time to count our blessings and to give up the swords of complaints and biting criticism.  It is a time to heal the wounded, encourage the old and nurture the children.  Find someone to give to.

What does the energy of The Divine Mother entail?

When you are sick, she looks after you.  When you are sad, she listens and lets you cry it out.  When you are hungry she feeds you, naked she clothes you.  And she is a graceful example to all.  She knows that you are the future.  And if anything is to change for the better, it all starts inside, right now and the difference we make even just for one other person.  Can you be a place of haven, rest or joy, for one person, even if only for a few moments?

If you have resentments, put them aside.  Save the caustic retorts.  The core of the Truth is we are siblings.  And we don’t have to be the same. Just because we do not believe the same, just because our religion or politics are different, does not mean either of us is any less deserving of compassion or our wounds salved.  It is not criminal to be different in philosophy any more than in skin color.  Stand up for what is right.  The Divine Mother does not ridicule.  But she will attend to your wounds caused by it.

As 2011 comes closer to its conclusion, this energetic cycle calls us to express compassion for others.  It also demands a balancing of justice.  Let not accusations fall that are undeserved.  Do not equate apples to snakes when oranges suffice.  Do not allow poisonous people or attitudes to fester in your life.  And when it comes to who you are, actively be that blessing to someone else.  Some way.  Some how.

Mother of Justice.  Mother of Mercy.  Mother of Love.

The traps?  Think of what is opposite of The Divine Mother? Of Lady Justice?  This Divine energy is not meant to foster apathy.  It does not neglect.  It does not stand by and allow another to be abused.  It nurtures positive emotions and salves the negative.  It does not take advantage and do emotional injury.  “Do No Harm.”  Others may fall to this level. See that you do not.  Stick to Gratitude and Encouragement this holiday.  And when challenges arise, because they will, soothe them.

October 2011 Heretical Numerology Watch

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”
~ Alan Cohen

“Softly and kindly remind yourself, ‘I cannot own anything.’ It is a valuable thought to keep in mind as you struggle to improve your financial picture, worry about investments, and plan how to acquire more and more. It is a universal principle which you are part of. You must release everything when you truly awaken. Are you letting your life go by in frustration and worry over not having enough? If so, relax and remember that you only get what you have for a short period of time. When you awaken you will see the folly of being attached to anything.”
~ Wayne Dyer

“Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, Joy is what you want…..  You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside.”
~ Alan Cohen

“They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.”
~ Confucius (C. 551 – C. 479)

All of 2011 so far has been about responsibility, work, structure and laying foundations.  It’s been a period of preparation and even tension.  Coming full swing into the energy of October, we move into a cycle that pushes to a stage of evaluation and asks us for release. We come to a point asking us to let go, to make choices and to allow things to be different from here on out. 

If you need a boost for fresh ideas or how to see things differently, I recommend this article by Christopher Penn, where he discusses how powerful triggers can be to help us shift our emotional and mental states. “Simple Pleasures.”

Also check out “Freedom After Financial Crisis” by Tracy Vincent. An insightful article about processing change and loss.

I expect in many ways that the next 5 weeks will feel a bit more comfortable to most everyone.  The tension that has been in place should loosen in some areas, possibly break in others.  (Remember that slow energy build I’ve been talking about?) And as I mentioned before, I believe we’ll see the markets gain some predictability by the end of October.  Just remember, predictability is not the same as profitable.  I see this more as a lull period where things calm down a bit and allow people to catch their breaths, take a break and re-evaluate the important things in life and the next steps to take.  If the markets become a place where these potential tension breaks channel through, it might be a good time to look for deals. There’s energetic tension present, it will release or relax somewhere. Markets or not.

It’s important to note that sometimes during periods like this, we are presented with events that stimulate choice, release, re-evaluation and adaptability.  Sometimes it takes a smack on the head to help us realize we’re not moving and we are stagnant.  Sometimes it takes a flush to get things moving again.  The energy present during this time desires flow and movement much like water.  YOU choose where and how it should channel.  If you don’t, it will be chosen for you and you may not be as comfortable with it. 

It’s a good time to take a mini-vacation of some sort, if you can.  It’s a good time to make deposits in your bank of positive memories and experiences.   Remember that negative experiences borrow from our bank of positive experiences.  When the positive bank is drained, it’s like going into the red.  Make the efforts and choices necessary.  No matter how small, they all count. 

The energy at this time is very much about making choices and the nature of the fact that freedom is only attained via choice.  And without choice, no freedom or grace is possible.  Just as our guides cannot take away our free will and freedom to choose, likewise we cannot take away the choices of others either.  Only in a free society do we see the essences of the 9 Divine Archetypes as they were meant to exist.  Freedom and choice are inextricably linked.

Patterns I see at this time are interesting as I still see a window for events to take place on either or both the east and west coasts in the U.S.. Hurricane energy would fit these patterns, but even man-induced events are a possibility.  The energy is a slow build-up with a sustained punch.  I know we’re getting late into the hurricane season, but I see these as still being quite possible. 

Southern California, I’m not sure what’s going on with you, but you keeping popping up on my radar.  Folks who live there, please have a plan in place in case of emergency.  And listen to your hearts and guts.  This feels like a mix of natural events and man-induced amplification.  Not sure what that looks like yet?  I will be on the west coast soon where I hope I can tap in better and will try to update with a more clarified take later.  I don’t usually focus on areas I don’t live in.  Central Texas, I believe we’re in for a harder winter than usual for us.  Plan accordingly.

September 2011 Heretical Numerology Watch

“First say to yourself what would you be;
and then do what you have to do.”
~ Epictetus (C. 55 – C. 135) Greek Stoic Philosopher

“Take charge of your thoughts.
You can do what you will with them.”
~ Plato (428-327 BC) – Greek Philosopher and Prose Writer

“They can do all because they think they can.”
~ Virgil (70-9 BC) – Roman Poet

“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind
on things we desire not things we fear.”
~ Brian Tracy

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”
~ Mark Twain

At the time of this writing, Mercury is still retrograde and will go direct on August 26.  Themes during retrogrades are not only more reflective, but also more focused.  Too many folks go through life not really awake, or are too reliant upon last minute “by the skin of your teeth” living.  Retrogrades give increased focus on their areas of governance, which requires a greater sense of awareness as well.  Flying by the seat of your pants (we’re pretty bad about this in the US, not to mention the stress levels we try to pass off as normal life) doesn’t tend to work as well under the demand for focus during these times.  So-so output just doesn’t really cut it.  With Mercury governing money, communication and travel, these areas require more clarity, attention and focus during a retrograde.  Communication is very important at this time.  Even when you are aware though, you have all the sleepy-heads to watch for.  Your key to success is remaining balanced, eating right, sleeping right, staying focused and giving Mercury its due.  And moving into the next numerological window, this need for communication and facts becomes even greater.

Last month I mentioned that we’d have an opportunity to put things into order soon.  We enter that window between now and about mid-October. The energetic window that awaits brings into focus issues with boundaries, law, and order.  We had a swing at responsibility in August, and in September, it makes us look hard at what those responsibilities are.  Now is a time for clarity, revealing the realities as they are.  The is and is not.  When do you say no?  When do you say yes?  What deserves attention?  What does not?  What is your purpose in life?  What may feel nice, but isn’t your purpose in life?  Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you are supposed to.  On the other hand, there are things people can and should do that they fail to.  Like stand up for themselves, for someone else, or something that is right.  Sometimes during these types of energetic windows people focus on simplifying.  That is OK, but I do prefer the term clarify.  Clarify your purpose and direction right now and at least put together a thumbnail sketch of a road map to follow.  For most of us, our purpose is not for a simple life, but for one with a clear purpose.  Clarity is the key.

As the US gets comfortable with it’s new cycle, I expect health, community and family issues to take center stage come November/December.  And interestingly, this year the Thanksgiving holiday is more conducive to family gatherings than Christmas. (If you’re trying to decide which holiday to travel to see family for, my vote is Thanksgiving.)

There are some interesting patterns afoot.  The whole month of September tends to be more intensified due to it’s nine nature doubling each day’s vibration, however the 9th and 20th do stand out.  The thing I think is interesting… I’ve been watching http://spaceweather.com, and there are some interesting celestial “anomalies” that I thought I’d go ahead and mention.  Space Weather maintains a list of upcoming Earth-Asteroid encounters and it’s interesting to note that each one of note (highlighted in pink on their chart) comes closest to Earth during an arch of influence in numerology dates.  The most significant is actually classed a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (greater than 150 m in diameter and passing within .05 AU of our planet).  On Nov 8th, within an important numerology arch, asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass closer to the Earth than our own moon.  (For reference, our moon is 3474 km in diameter.)  If you’re curious, follow the link to space weather and click on the asteroids to watch the videos of the projected obits, etc..

Now, that  said – I find all this fascinating.  And I find that when astrological, celestial and numerological events collide, the intensity of the energy seems that much greater.  However, I’m not overly concerned about it.  Anymore than I am in a place of fear about the drought we’re having here in Texas.  My job is to love, not to be afraid.  And Mother Gaea is in need of her natural processes.  Our sun is increasing in activity. I think winter will be a different story.

For the next 6 weeks, I ask you to think about making plans, getting yourself organized and laying foundations.  Do this for work and career and do this for family.  September is the best month all year to get your act together for the holidays and pre-plan for 2012.  October is a good time to take a trip for fun, December a good time to take a trip for reflection.  But expect travel issues in December.  I think we’re in for quite a Winter 2011 in the US.  And September is a good time to plan for potential weather extremes and emergency scenarios as well.  Unusual weather is in the the future down the road and it’s better to think of needs now than not be prepared.  Besides, you know I’m a fan of being prepared not just for yourself, but so you can be a light to others.  You never know what kind of difference you might make for someone else.  Do you have a first aid kit?  Firewood? A disaster plan in case of a chemical spill?  A list of emergency phone numbers?  Do your kids know what to do?  These scenarios are often considered uncommon, but what has previously been considered uncommon is becoming more common place.  I’ve been analyzing the last 2000 years of dates and there is a large pattern that makes me want to encourage everyone to keep records and get first aid training.  Take an inventory and get an idea together of what you can and will do.

Feeling stuck?  I highly recommend an article by Mark McGuinness called: “5 Creative Coaching Techniques To Get Yourself Unstuck.”  Mark has not only a gift for writing, but for coaching as well.  And I love his “imagine yourself without a head” exercise.  Check it out.  He’s a good resource.

September is the 9th month of the year, and as such always holds a special vibration because 9 is the number that honors all other vibrations.  We feel each day’s vibrations more clearly in the month of September.  In the natural annual social progression in the US, it serves as the perfect “beginning of the year,” with its clearer messages and holiday season peeking around the corner.  No wonder our school years naturally start around September.  The weather may begin shifting to fall and the waning of the seasons during September, but as a society we seem to come alive with expectation.

The window we enter now asks us to place order into our lives, to focus, to organize, to plan.  As we begin turning to our fall schedules, planning for the future is important now.  Take the information you’ve gathered thus far this year and begin putting it into a working order.

Back in June I mentioned seeing some forces at work come this window beginning in August.  Not the short explosive bursts I saw back in April/May, but longer and more sustaining in effect.  The closer we draw, the more I feel this pull.  Again, I look to North Atlantic region and the east US coast, with the window appearing from about North Carolina on up.  It is a large energy pattern, which points to a natural event, but could manifest in something man-caused.  However, I also see disturbance on the west coast for mid to southern California.  I’m not sure what the trigger is.  Whether it’s weather or a natural disaster or frankly a ball game.  But something is coming to a head.

I also mentioned that by end of October I believe we’ll see some of the predictability in the markets and economy that everyone craves.  It’s important to note that though the chaotic flux will calm down, this predictability will likely remain with lower profits than many hope for.  If you’ll remember, I predicted previously that there would be those who will claim this year that the recession is over.  Lately on the news I’ve heard debate over whether we’ll have “another” recession or not, as if what we’ve been through ended some time ago.  It’s never been over.  It’s a larger pattern we are caught up in and it won’t be over for some time.  Either we get caught by the under current, or we ride the wave.  Everything is changing, nothing is going back to the way is was before.  I challenge you to think differently about everything, even your expectations.  Do not get caught in the boxes of “have to’s” either.  For instance, I have met so many people who are caught because they spent money to get a degree in a field that they now cannot find work in.  How can they possibly consider a completely different path now?  Wouldn’t it invalidate everything they’ve ever worked hard for?  Only if we allow ourselves to get trapped in that line of thinking.  That part of your life served its time.  The last millennium served a very important purpose.  Honor that.  But do not be trapped, do not be caught by that.  How many times have we wished in our lives to have a second chance?  Wished we could start over?  Wished we had more choices?  We asked for it – and it has been delivered!  Time does not matter to Spirit, why on earth would you allow yourself to be trapped by it now?  So what your age?  What are you really missing out on if you let go of that box?

I ask you to take inventory not just of your house, but of yourself at this time.  What are your skills, what it is that you are passionate about, but also, what is it that humanity really needs from you?  What is it that you are an expert of?  And do you have the means to pass that knowledge on?  Knowledge needs to be preserved while we go through rebirth.

Societal change is being forced to take place, right now.  NOTHING will ever be as it once was!  Make your plans now.

August 2011 Heretical Numerology Watch

“In Thy Presence is Fullness of Joy.”
— Psalms 16:11

“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
She gives most who gives with Joy.”
— Mother Teresa

“Man loves because he is Love.  He seeks joy, for he is Joy.  He thirsts for God, for he is composed of God and he cannot exist without Him.”
— Sathya Sai Baba

“Where there is Joy, there is Creation.
Where there is no Joy, there is no Creation.  Know the Nature of Joy.”
— Upanishads (circa B.C. 800)

“The secret of Happiness is Freedom.  The secret of Freedom is Courage.”
— Thucydides, 460 – 395 B.C. (Greek Historian)

“There is no Fear in Love. But perfect Love casteth out Fear.”
— 1 John 4:18

“The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.”
— Ferdinand Foch

“What I know for sure is that you feel real Joy in direct proportion to how connected you are to Living your Truth.”
— Oprah Winfrey

“Rise Creator and Stand.  For upon you worlds rely.”  This message is loud in my head this morning as I wrap up today’s newsletter.

Abraham – Hicks has told us that “the only true measure of success is the amount of Joy we are feeling.”  Florence Scovel Shinn taught us that Success is a system in which Courage is an important element.  The Bible tells us that there is no Fear in Love and that perfect Love abolishes fear. Thucydides wrote that the secret to happiness is freedom, which also requires courage.  The Upanishads spoke of the eternal connection between Joy and Creation.

All of these teachings point to a marriage of qualities that come into focus at this time.  Courage (confidence) and responsibility coupled and balanced with creation and joy.  It is reminiscent of the complete energy of Great Creator herself.  Joy, Creation, Courage, Responsibility, Freedom, Confidence, Passion, Choice, Love.  They are all intertwined and are the essence of God.

It takes courage to step up and create.  Whether you are creating a dream, a vision, re-creating yourself.  Fear is not a part of this.  Humanity was not created from Fear.   Nothing we consider Divine was created from Fear.

“I’m too old.” “I don’t have the money.” “The economy isn’t conducive.” “I don’t have time.”  “I’m a mom.”  “I’m alone.”  “I can’t because of _____.”  None of these statements are made from a place of courage, confidence or creation or joy.  And none come from a state of Truth or Freedom.  Sadly these chains are not imposed by anyone except by oneself.  When will we learn that we are Creators?  It does not matter what we are given.  We will create with rocks and sticks.  We will summon unto us those who have the missing pieces we need.  We will draw from the energy of the Universe and express.  We have everything we need in our very Souls.  We are not trapped, unless we choose to be.   We are Creators!

I touched on the subject of thinking about what our true Joy is back in May.  You can go back and take a look.  Our process over the summer so far has been in preparation for the window we are moving into.  If we desire to be Joyful, then we must have the courage to take the step, and embrace a state of confidence and knowing, and simply Create.  Step into your I Am of Creator.  Step into Freedom.  Step into Joy.  “Live Your Truth.”

Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all retrograde at least through August.  Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo on August 3 and Jupiter goes retrograde in Taurus on August 30.  These are not reasons to hold back.  In fact, I think these retrogrades will help facilitate the process.  Know that it requires of you more focus, and your full soul’s attention and passion.  This is the window to step forward in the process, to create, to reap, to be bold and unwavering in our dreams and desires.  To be joyful. To exist in a state of creation vs. created.  To exist in a state of Creator.

“Create your speech to one another in Love.”  Remember that God spoke and It Was.  Let your speech be clear and unwavering.

Take the steps, even if it does seem messy at first. We have a window coming later that will allow us to clean up the details and put everything into a sense of order.  But jump in, create the steps, stand and be confident, be counted as responsible now.  Be the first one to dare to get messy, and without fear, without worry about failing or “messing up.”  Check your attitudes at the door.  And don’t use “responsibility” as an excuse for “can’t.”  That’s not how this works.  This energy says you have a responsibility to Create!  That you are not responsible if you do not!  The energy of responsibility here is very wholesome and holistic in that it does a balancing act and takes into consideration details as well as end results.  It considers the health of all the corners of life, satisfying our needs in all arenas: emotional, spiritual, physical, mental and all the other “als.”  Contemplate what it actually means to be “Creator.”

This time is about reaping benefits through joy and creativity.  Not just for you, but for everyone you are responsible for.  And today, you are responsible for your community, your world.  Whatever that means in your life.  Your circle.  You have a responsibility to your peers, the people you interact with anywhere.  A responsibility to seed the energy in your life to facilitate it in others as well.  You have the responsibility to stand in confidence, be true to that core of who you really are, even if it means you take on leadership for awhile to do it, so others are supported in their own confident standing as well.  Who are you?  Step into Creator.  You are your own infinite Universe.  If you are the first to step up to the dais, you will soon be joined.  Do you see the network of Light?

The arch for the plateau jump has formed.  It is before us.
