N-Sights for May 2012

INITIATE CHANGE

“If you’re still looking for a happy ending, I suggest you start looking for a new beginning.”        Anonymous                                

Well, here we are at a “new beginning” month!  May 2012 is a Number One Universal Month in a Five Universal Year. 

Each year we transit a Universal One Month (sometimes more than once) which supports us in making new starts collectively.  What is significant for this May is that we are in a Five Universal Year signaling change and rebirth, and May is referred to as “Five” when we write the month using numbers only.  So all three numbers influencing us this month are unanimous in pointing us to new horizons.

Although each one of you reading this is in the middle of transiting your own personal number cycles, we have received a collective call that the signal flag has been lowered, and we are out of the starting gate and onto the speedway beginning our new journey.

One thing to bear in mind:  In our continuing journey through our lives, One is just the beginning.  It reflects a starting point, like the start of chapter one in a book.   This chapter will not be complete until next September when we transit a Five Universal Month in a Five Universal Year.  This means that things begun now are more likely to rev up and become fully activated in September.

Whenever I write about the number One, I find that there is less to say about this number’s possibilities.  Look at the number.  “One” is a straight vertical line.  It is the most uncomplicated of all the numbers. It is a number that initiates and activates – but we need other numbers to direct us to achieving the results we seek.

If you have One or Five strong in your personal numerology chart as a core number, cycle number or birthday number – or if you are transiting a One or Five Personal Year, the impact of the Number One is more likely to affect your life directly at this time.

Bear in mind that the overall energies of One and Five are strong and volatile as last month’s numbers were as well.  Therefore, even if you feel you are confronted by the equivalent of gale-force winds, it is all that more important to be cautious and prudent when taking action on the affairs over which you do have control.  One and Five can make us want to act impulsively and often without thinking things through.  Be sure that all changes are thought out in advance.  Review your plans with others for possible flaws.

One and Five can change your life overnight with sudden events that are unanticipated.  In this case, your only option is to go with the flow and trust that you are being directed to new situations that are healthier for you  -- or life lessons that (in retrospect) you will come to understand and value.

Remember, you are at the start of the race, and in this one, the tortoise can have an advantage over the hare.  Listen to your heart, and you’ll be told where to head and how to get there.  Be sure to go at your own pace (unless the reins of your chariot are attached to wild stallions.)  In that case, just hang on and pray!

Happy changes!

N-Sights for April 2012

LET YOUR LIFE BLOOM AND MAKE TIME FOR THE ROSES!

Astrologers tell us we began a new astrological year as the sun entered the sign of Aries on March 20th.  In the Northern Hemisphere the solstice just ushered in the beginning of Spring.  So is the science of numbers in sync with this cycle of new beginnings?

Actually – the answer is – not quite – at least not this year.  You’ll have to wait until 2013 for this to happen.  But this is a very powerful and fertile time for us to create new lives for ourselves filled with passion and beauty -- even if we have yet to be able to envision all the details and know how they will come about.   I’ve chosen a rose theme for this month in keeping with our Nine Universal Month and symbolizing the magnificence we all possess when we allow our true nature to unfurl to its highest potential.

In the cycle of Universal numbers,  the arrival of April signals the beginning of the end – not in apocalyptic terms, but in terms of April being a Nine Universal Month and therefore a month of closure and endings.  As we travel through the month, we are being prepared for a new cycle to begin in May.

As April is our fourth month of the calendar year, and we are in a Five Universal Year ( 2 + 0 + 1 + 2  = 5), we are influenced by the sum of these two numbers:  4 + 5  =  9.  We can also look at the word symbolism for the two numbers.  Four symbolizes structure.  Five symbolizes change.  Thus we can see that with the two numbers combined, we receive a message of “change in structure”.  Each one of you is going through your own personal energy transits; however, collectively, we are going through a time of shifts and endings this month which will culminate with us all in the driver’s seat ready to begin a new journey when May comes around.

As Five is considered a number of potential volatility and Nine is “endings”, we may see a number of “changes in structure” for our Earth and our environments this month.  Earth changes are ongoing, but this year particularly, we may see an even higher number of them.  On the other hand, if you are looking to change the structure of your own life, your timing couldn’t be more perfect!

Here are some ways that you, personally, can make this month both constructive and full of potential rewards:

COMPLETE YOUR PROJECTS
LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN’T SERVE YOU

This is a month to finish projects, and clear the debris out of your life literally and figuratively.  If this sounds like dreary work, it needn’t be if you focus on the vision of the new things you'd like to introduce into your life and what a good feeling it's going to be to clear out the things that are drains on your energy and well being.

MOURN YOUR LOSSES AND LET GO

You may also find that people and possessions leave your life on their own.  I recently had to say good-bye to two favorite things that had been part of my life for a very long time:  a fused glass butterfly necklace that I had received as a gift and worn as a talisman for years suddenly got shattered.  My beloved bracelet watch that I’d had for 25 years suddenly disappeared due to a suspected defective clasp.   I know that even if I’m unable to duplicate these items, that I can now anticipate the fun of seeking out replacements. –And I also sent prayers that my watch would end up with a new owner who would enjoy it as much as I did.

PEOPLE FROM YOUR PAST MAY REAPPEAR

Nine connects us with our past.  I just heard from a high school classmate that I had last seen at our graduation more years ago than I will reveal.  She mentioned that there was going to be a reunion lunch for all from our class who (unknown to me previously) were now living in Arizona.  Coincidence or not, it appears that I’ll be connecting with my past this month.   It can also be an opportune time to seek out someone from your past with whom you'd like to reconnect.

GIVE AND RECEIVE

Nine is a number that symbolizes Universal love.  It is a number of philanthropy and generosity.  In addition to asking us to give from our hearts to the people and causes we believe in, Nine also asks us to receive with gratitude and offers us unexpected blessings, often in the way of gifts and good fortune.

                                                                            

SUPPORT THE ARTS

Treat yourself to an art exhibit, museum, play or concert.  Nine is aligned with beauty and the arts.  It’s an ideal time to allow your soul to be uplifted through the visual arts, drama or music or revisiting the past at a museum.

FORGIVE

Forgiveness rituals are always therapeutic and can be especially  appropriate now.

GRATITUDE

In the everyday hustle and bustle of our lives, we often neglect to give thanks for all the blessings and conveniences that make our lives easier throughout each of our  days.  This message is a little reminder to stop and give thanks for all the good in your life and extend appreciation to all the people who make your life brighter.  They will be grateful for your words!

In closing, here’s a brief video that displays the magic of three roses going from bud to bloom, symbolic of the holy trinity of love  --  body, mind and spirit.  As you watch, imagine your life blooming with passion, love and joy.
