April 2013 Heretical Numerology Watch

I was thinking about the equations this month and the messages inherent.  And it reminded me of a true story.

There was a special school with beautiful trees.  They were shapely, beautiful and the best kind for climbing.  During lunch time and after school, children would often sit under their shade, eat lunch and snacks, hang from the lower branches and climb into the trees.  Sometimes little things would be hung from the branches to catch the wind and sun.

This had been a tradition for many years.  But one day a new principal came to the school and she was horrified by what she saw.  How could the teachers and parents of this school have allowed this to happen.  No wonder they needed a new principal!  The test scores might be high, but this was surely an unsafe school just waiting for disaster!   After all, a child could accidentally slip and be hurt and the school could be sued.  Even worse, what if a child pushed another child out of the tree!  The school was just lucky that it hadn’t happened yet.  What radical people this school was made up of!!!  Insane to let children run amok in such a dangerous situation.  Everyone knows you never let kids do this!  Especially at a school!  Never mind that there were always adults present.

As protests arose, parents and staff were told they were the most uncooperative and unmanageable people this principal had ever worked with.  Notes were compared with other principals in other districts, legal issues considered and judgments were made about the character of people from the school.  Memos were written, the board was notified, people were hired and the children came to school one day to find their beloved trees missing all their lower limbs, so that even an adult could no longer reach the lowest available branches.  There was no chance anyone might be tempted even to raise a child up to touch them.  And the school and its children would now be considered safe, even if against the wishes and will of the people who made up the community.

The lowest branches had always been the shadiest, and had contained so many memories.  But they were no longer there to provide shelter or joy.  The injured trees showed huge scars where their branches were now razed off.  And though many children tried (and some cried), after awhile no one wanted to have snacks or breaks there anymore.  Yes, thankfully the trees were not killed, but there were so many tears and many hurt feelings in an aftermath that would lead up to severe tension in the future, as unheard people and needs were devalued in a fell swoop.  Because someone didn’t see it the same way.

It’s a true story.  One we can learn from.  What might have been a better approach?  Decisions were made by an outsider to make the community safe according to what everyone “anywhere else” supposedly already logically and reasonably understood on pure principle.  But in the place of safety, hearts, relationships and even a few wills were broken.  People were wrongfully accused of being irresponsible and rebellious and no one would take time to observe just how safe the children truly were or weren’t.  The more parents tried to please their case, the more they were attacked.  The principal had the power of possible lawsuit on her side, and came from a perspective that didn’t even care for trees.  “It’s just a tree, why should this matter?  Why would anyone want to climb such a dangerous thing anyway?  Why is this even an issue?”  Even the fact that there were responsible adults always present, “policing their own community,” did not matter.  There was no acceptance of the idea that perhaps tree climbing and school could coexist.  And when emotions ran high, there was no sympathy either.  “What’s wrong with your people?  We didn’t completely cut the trees down.  We only took away the dangerous branches.  You can still have happy memories without the dangerous branches.”  It became a painful and emotional end with a lot of take and no give.  And it set the stage for continued upheaval in the school’s relationships from then on.

It would have been awesome if somehow the two sides came together with a new approach that preserved everything that everyone valued.

We face an energy pattern in April that will present us with much the same kind of scenarios.  Where rules, patience, harmony, balance, and new events, ideas and perspectives combine for our attention.  Where we need to consider the preservation of all values.

After the sluggish start we had to the 2013 year, April really becomes a month of full awakening for us.  Fundamental changes start making their need to exist, or actual presence, known.  Fundamental changes may also be the problem.  The western calendar year of 2013 is a 6 vibration.  A number that demands and desires harmony, balance and fairness.  6 is the Divine Mother Archetype.  Combined with April, the 4th month, we get the auspicious number of 10.  Sure, there’s a completion and beginning energy behind the number 10, but more notably is the presence of 0 – the God Power.  For all things came from No-Thing.

The tens (numbers followed by zeros) do accentuate the archetype they reduce to, such as in this case the number 1.  1 is the number of direction, the pioneer, discovery and new things as a whole.  But zero adds something extra in the tens.  The tens also hold an extra space for the presence of Guidance at all times.  Not that anyone is every abandoned – no one is.  But 10’s denote special attention from Spirit.  Some have considered it special protection and blessing.  And certainly it is.  But it is also a little more like a parent starting a child out on a new venture – like riding a bike for the first time – and always present with a ready hand for support and guidance.  Or children off to college, embarking on their new adventure into adulthood, but also always having a safe place to call home with their parents, where they can come home, reboot their laundry, and receive nurturing and advice.  Never abandoned, and definitely not alone and without resources.  But also, it’s not an energy that is always needed in this way.  Because eventually, children grow on to become parents and expert bike riders of their own, needing less and less immediate guidance and attention.  The presence of tens do not convey inexperience as souls, but they do denote the presence of new experiences.  Similarly I likewise find that those with 100 (note the double zeros) when applied to people tend to denote older souls who are new to the human experience or to the Earth experience.  Zeros show us where the plateau jumps, our gateways of transformation in our spiritual development, are.

So… back to April.  Wake up calls make themselves known here.  Our rules may not be in our best interest.  Or we are lacking discipline in areas that need it.  Harmony (real or perceived) may be challenged as it butts heads with the number of awakening.  But so will laws, institutions, foundations and patience.  April involves new ways of dealing with and approaching things – and when I say new, I mean NEW!  And not based on previous knowledge or work.  It means considering something that hasn’t been considered before.  It may also mean considering the danger of something new.  With the previous holding patterns present in the year, you can see why now things start feeling like they are speeding up and the year is finally really under way.  With the possibilities of challenging harmony and balance in this month, the answers lie not in looking at things in the same ways they always have been.  Age old arguments and ways of solving things will not provide the answers here.  Our ways of looking at and arguing about law will not help us here.  The answer is something that might seem completely radical, or just something that hasn’t considered before or in a long time.  And there’s a warning in the mix.  Our desire for balance and harmony must not result in simply conforming.  Conformity and illusions of harmony are challenged here.

March 2013 Heretical Numerology Recap

In continuation of our look at where we’ve been and where we’re going in 2013, we now turn to the energies of March 2013.  

As March came into our lives, it brought us to an accentuation of an equation that is popping up rampantly all throughout 2013.  An equation related to Trinities everywhere, but most especially the Divine Service Archetypes of the the Divine Child, Divine Mother and Divine Father.   These archetypes have always had a mathematical and energetic relationship with each other.  But this year they take center stage, emphasizing service to the greater good, from the micro to the macrocosm.  Each of these archetypes govern a corner of the Divine Triangle in Service.  But what they all have in common is the theme of Understanding – mental, emotional, and spiritual.

March also brought with it a cooler season than most of us are used to (at least in the US).  Which brings me to a little side venture in science research I’ve been following.  As in, just what’s up with our Sun?

Scientists are in the midst of speculation over space weather, solar activity, the unexpected quiet in activity from our sun and its affect on Earth.  The last 100 years has been the warmest for Earth since the mini ice-age of the 1700-1800’s.  In large part, we have recognized that during the mini ice-age our Sun was very inactive and quiet.  Coming out of that pattern cycle, we experienced a dramatic increase in solar flare activity.

And now?  Suddenly the solar cycle has quieted, seems sluggish and basically isn’t as active as previously predicted.

And…?

Well, much speculation as to what that might mean is going on. Is it a short cycle?  Is it a double peak cycle?  Or is there a possibility of a cooler period coming to  Earth again?

This isn’t entirely news this year, as it’s been discussed in solar science circles for awhile now.  But I find it interesting because I’m fascinated with patterns.  And if Pluto’s behavior reflects our own here on planet Earth, then what kind of effect does solar weather have or reflect?  Seeing as all life on this planet is possible thanks to the sun?  Metaphysically, it’s been generally regarded that large amounts of solar flare activity stimulates a fury of fiery activity here on Earth as well.  And if the Sun is moving into a less active, “cooling off” period for the next century, what does that mean?

Additionally, our sun itself has a natural 11 and 22 year solar cycle.  The 1st 11 years is essentially a waning period and the 2nd a waxing period of activity.  You can learn more about our sun’s solar cycle in NASA’s primer.  Solar cycle 25 has been said to start around 2020, a year I already find pretty interesting.  Master Numbers 11 and 22 are also interesting, as 22 took center stage during the last 100 years of the 20th century and 11 takes center stage during the first 100 years of the 21st century.

And what’s the significance of 11 at this time?  As I’ve written about for years, during the first 100 years of the new millennium, and most especially during the first 20, 30 and 50 of the first 100, it challenges us at every turn and forces societal change.  It is one of the reasons so much fear and doom has been associated with the shifting between millennia.  By the sheer numbers alone, Life and how we do, see and value things will never be the same as before.

Interesting stuff!  So on many fronts, scientific and spiritual (and what if the Sun’s cycle is changing its pattern?),  it’s something to watch and learn from.  As every generation since the beginning of time has done, we look to the heavens, we study the patterns in creation around us and we learn.

August/September/Fall Heretical Numerology Prediction Notes…

For now, I am compiling my data for the rest of the calendar year.  This has taken a lot of time to boil down into a list for you to peruse.  But it’s together now and as deadlines draw near, I’m going to go ahead and get it out to you to look at.  I’ll elaborate more on details in a later update, but for now, let me invite you to look over each month and see the differences amongst them.

Remember what I said last month about November?  Now look at the list of data below and see how November stacks up next to all the other months.  That is the month to watch.  “Water of Life” and spirituality are words that are ringing in my ears when it comes to  November.  Something about water, blood and what they symbolize is very important during this time.  A thirst for “water” and spirituality, but not everyone will find satiation.  And I don’t believe November encapsulates it.  I believe that it brings it forefront.  I think a reference to ground water is being made here, as well as circulation – like a circulatory system.  And I would definitely draw analogies with chi and the healthy flow a human body is supposed to have, to that of the Earth.  This whole theme is both physical and symbolic in how it comes through.  The feeling I get physically though is that ground water is going to become available in areas it wasn’t previously and disappear in others it’s been rather reliable in.  Whether that changes due to earthquake or something, I’m not quite sure.  Just keep in mind there’s a rather significant spiritual parallel as well.  Phrases to reflect on:  Waters Of Life, Throne Of God, Holy Spirit, Blood Flow (as between mother and unborn child), Ascension, Divine Feminine As Creator.

Also, with all the references coming up about water, I’m going to assert something controversial about dowsing.  And I say this as an experienced dowser and as someone whose great-grandparents and other family members were once upon a time successful water-witchers in their day.   I don’t think it’s water that actually draws down our diviner rods in traditional water witching.  I think it’s something else.  

I’m also seeing a pattern this year I did not expect.  Towards the end of the year (with an intro taste to the energy felt in August), there are multiple arches of influence back to back or that overlap.  In November, we have three separate numerological energy arches that overlap each other.  Arches of influence, as I coin the phrase to describe them, are already a series of days with compounded energies contained.  But in November, December and a little one in August, we have compounded arches!

What does it all mean?  Well, things are afoot.  And when you add social circumstances (and inherent pressures) already in place, like the holidays and U.S. election, expect some fireworks.  I’ve been analyzing U.S. presidential candidates and history.  I think I can guarantee that what it reveals is rather unexpected.  Stay tuned.

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!

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.
