N-Sights for February 2013

LET GO OF STRUGGLE!

“The Master doesn’t try to be powerful,
thus she is truly powerful.”                excerpted from the Tao Te Ching

The Month’s Big Picture:

February is a Number Eight Universal Month in a Number Six Personal Year.  Nationally and globally we are more likely to see a focus on legal issues, justice, and contracts and agreements especially regarding health care, wealth and finance, large corporations, and government policies this month.    Eight also represents strength, power and mastery. If you have the Number Six, Number Eight and/or the Number Two prominent in your natal numerology chart, this month is likely to be relevant for you in some way regarding the above categories.

 

 



 Possibilities for Your Personal Month

Although your own natal numerology chart is unique to you and offers you directions for traveling the years, months and days of your life, there are some general energy trends which will prevail for you this February depending on the Personal Year you are transiting. 

 

To determine your Personal Year Number:

Add the number representing your month of birth to  the number which represents your day of birth and  reduce this number to a single digit.  Add this number  to the Number 6 (our Universal Year Number.)  Reduce  the sum of these two numbers to a single digit.  This is  the number of your Personal Year.

Personal Month Guidelines

If your Personal Year is:

ONE  This is your month to indulge in the good things of life!  Socialize, dine out, seek beauty and wardrobe enhancements.    Caution:  Watch over-spending as well as ego-based   purchases to impress others.

 

TWO  Focus on financial and estate planning, home and family   matters.  Take a practical, teamwork-oriented approach   to your activities.

 

THREE This can be a lucky and sensuous month for you, and  Valentine’s Day is right up your alley.  If you’re single, a new love could appear.  Watch overindulgence in anything that can be addictive.

FOUR  Health, home and family matters predominate.  Be practical  and focus on what needs repairing in your life – whether it’s  your own health and fitness, your relationship with your mate,   your finances, remodeling your home or the perennial punch   list of household “fix-its.”

 

FIVE  While others tackle their “to-do” lists, this is your month to  take it easy – maybe take a vacation or explore new ports of  call.  If Valentine’s Day finds you solo, take heart!  New  opportunities to meet a new heart-mate will be forthcoming   later in the year.

 

SIX  This can be a “power month” for you!  Take the lead, act  with fairness and see contracts, agreements and family   matters settled in your favor.

 

SEVEN This is a month of endings and completion.  Examine the  relationships in your life.  Do they need ending or repairing?  You may feel alone and misunderstood. Take time for   yourself and give yourself much-deserved TLC!

 

EIGHT This can be a month of new beginnings and one which is   excellent for new business or project start-ups.  Using your   leadership skills can pay off right now, but be sure to   use tact and diplomacy as well as consideration for the   needs and feelings of others.

 

NINE  Your month is a month of master tests.  Patience is necessary   as well as fostering an attitude of peace and harmony. As long    as you work with others with a spirit of teamwork and   cooperation, you can end up not only seeing your goals   fulfilled, but being an inspiring presence for many.

 February Divine Guidance from My 2013 N-Sights Calendar

 

This month's message is from Quan Yin, the Goddess of mercy, compassion and protection.  Her name means “she who hears all prayers.”  It is said that the uttering of her name offers guaranteed protection from harm.

 

“Focus on letting go of struggle, anger, harsh judgments and unforgiveness.  Your power increases as you offer acceptance, love and compassion to others as well to yourself.”

 

Quan Yin told me to add the following to her message:

Instead of trying to do what your mind says you “should” do, tune in to your heart and do what makes it sing.  You will feel a difference, and your life will change in amazing ways.  Just as the Number Eight is really a symbol for the constant infinite flow of energy, be in the flow of life and enjoy each moment where you are taken.”

 

 



 Affirmation

 

I trust that the Universe is on my side and gives me everything I need – and more! There is no need to struggle.  I am in the Divine flow of life!

 

 

 

N-Sights for March 2012

EXPRESS YOUR TRUTH -- TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE!

In this year of change, March beckons to us to find creative changes and solutions to the challenges in our lives, especially through allowing the Light to illuminate and express the Truth of our being.

There are three dominant number vibrations that we journey through this month:

THREE  --  March is the third month of the year.  Three invites us to express   ourselves, apply our creative skills,  and to spread   sunshine and light to others.  Three can also  be associated with good luck and   prosperity.

FIVE  -  Our Universal Year Number is Five.   We are in a year that supports new beginnings and progressive changes that break  with tradition.

EIGHT  -  The Universal Month Number is Eight.   Eight signals  tests of mastery, especially with regard to developing our courage,  strength and management of material resources.  It is also  a number that symbolizes   truth and justice and which rules  inheritance  and legal settlements.

If we examine all three of the above numbers as a unit and attempt an optimistic interpretation, we can come up with “Embracing our passions.  Progress with life mastery. A fortunate and possibly unexpected change in the flow of material abundance”.  Who is going to object to this type of occurrence?

Of course, as everything has a polarity, we can intuit the opposite happening:  “Overindulgence in the good things of life.  Sudden change of fortune with loss of material supply.”

Either way, I believe it is important to view the vibrations of March as being very auspicious.  Even if there is loss, this can set the stage and create the space for something even better to arrive in your life. As an aside, I will mention that if you have any tendency to addictions or cravings, be aware that you may be even more tempted this month.  I write this as I reach for another piece of chocolate – my weakness – that may be more than what is healthy for my body! 

As I’ve noted in previous forecasts, Eight on its side is the infinity symbol.  Everything is in a state of constant flow.  What goes around, comes around.  What is lost is restored.  It is especially important to be optimistic this month! 

 

As Eight is a number symbolizing judgment, this also applies to “self-judgment.”  Thus, this month is especially good timing to confront and master the truth of who you are.  In other words, as we are in a time when we are “seeing the Light” and allowing ourselves and our lives to be more light-filled, allowing yourself to own the full truth of your identity can bring miracles to you and your life.

Last fall, well known author, columnist and life coach, Martha Beck, advised Oprah’s Lifeclass audience to determine and confess the one thing they had kept hidden in their lives that they had the most shame or guilt about.  She went on to state that admiting and healing the emotion around this one issue would be amazingly therapeutic and life-changing.

If any of you reading this find this advice intriguing and choose to apply it to your own life, this is the month to do so.  You may find yourself in a process of mastery that liberates you to achieve much more of what you dream of in life.  Go for it!  ….And let the power of Eight  be the wind at your back!

 

And if you’d like to see the Martha Beck "The Truth Will Set You Free" interview that inspired me (I just watched it again!), click HERE for the link.  You will love hearing Martha reveal her own miraculous confrontation with “The Light” during surgery and how this experience resulted in embracing “Truth”  in her life in enriching ways that endure to this day.  Martha’s moving and engaging story of literally being embraced by “the Light” is at the beginning of the show and worth listening to just on its own if you are pressed for time.

In conclusion, since this is a month of potential luck with material supply and life turn-arounds, I’m offering this wonderful “magical” gift to you…Look at the butterfly picture below.  Do you see the number “88” configured on its wing?

There is an auspicious angel message connected with this number which you have just accessed.  According to the Angel Numbers book by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. and Lynnette Brown, seeing the number “88” offers you the following message:

         “Great abundance is yours.  Prosperity is flowing
             to you in ever-increasing amounts.  Feel grateful
               and be sure to pass along the flow to others as
                  you feel guided.”

Believe --  and receive!!!  Love and blessings to all of you reading this for a month of transformation.

N-Sights for April 2011

STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE: WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE

When push comes to shove, what do we do? That’s a dilemma this month’s universal number energies places in front of us.  Stay positive and keep reading for some ideas to successfully stay right-side up and functioning in the midst of some of the strong energies we will be transiting this April.

April 2011 is a Universal Eight month in a Universal Four year. In addition, April is the fourth month of our calendar year. And during most of April, the ruling sun sign is Aries, the god of war. Also, forgive me for reminding you again – but Mercury is retrograde until April 23 with the shadow in effect through the last week of the month.   

 

Let examine first the symbolism of the number Eight and the number Four:

 

The number Eight is considered a number of power and mastery. It is often associated with money, finance and large corporations. Tarot cards often refer to the card with the number Eight as “Strength”.  Eight has a very labor-intensive quality to it. It demands the very best effort from all who encounter it. Eight is also a number of “balance”.  Note that it is a symmetrical number of two circles, one on top of another. Traditionally, we can refer to the top circle as “heaven” and the bottom circle as “earth”. Eight represents personal power as well as material supply. It is said that for us to manifest wealth on an ongoing basis, we must be connected to “heaven” and have an appreciation for Spirit as the Source of all good. If we ignore the spiritual aspect of our power and wealth, we are more vulnerable to having it disappear.

Pictured above is the Eighth Major Arcana card from the Universal Waite tarot deck.  Notice the balance this card portrays.  The woman has gained courage and strength by taming the bestial lion.  The lion (representing male energy) gains courage and strength by allowing himself to be tamed.  Notice the infitnity sign (the Eight on its side) over the woman's head.

Eight is considered an “all or nothing” number. When transiting Eight, it is more likely that one hits the jackpot or ends up losing one’s fortune. On its side it is the infinity symbol, showing that all is in eternal ebb and flow – what is lost is gained;  what is gained is lost. There is balance and justice in all things.

The number Four represents structure and financial security. It is often symbolized by a “square”. Inside its boundaries we are safe – but are we also “boxed in” or “restricted”? In doing numerology interpretation Four can represent hard work and discipline -- engineers, executives and administrators -- and industries such as investment, banking, insurance, accounting and construction. Four requires precision, and there’s no room for error.

 

Both Eight and Four represent not only strength, security and fortitude, but also, resistance to change and downright unyielding stubbornness. (That’s the “when push comes to shove” potential when Eight’s and Four’s confront each other.) Depending on the context, these numbers can be your friends or your enemies. If Eight and/or Four are strong in your numerology chart, chances are I just described some of your characteristics. (My birthday is 8-4, so you can see I’m also referring to myself. Yes, I’ve been accused of inflexibility!)

So having covered the basic numeric meanings of Eight and Four, let’s examine more closely these strong numeric and astrological energies in play for April. How they will manifest in our lives? On a collective basis, I can only conjecture, as we all are creating our reality with each moment of existence. However, based on my study of numbers, it does appear that we are likely to have some economic news this month – good or bad is for us to judge – but it could very well have to do with large corporations, investment firms and banking. If this sounds like déjà vu – perhaps it is, as often when Mercury is retrograde, what is past returns to be corrected. There could very well be some new financial “scandals” coming to light. Or – there could be news regarding currency revaluations or inflation or deflation. When Eight and Four appear together, money issues are part of the equation.

We can also look at our Eighth Universal Month during April (which we write as "4") during a Four Universal Year as a message to master our resources which, among other things, we can relate to the issues with containing the radiation contamination in Japan which certainly has potential repercussions for all of us on the planet.

My own concern, and my reason for writing this forecast is not to be “right” as a prophet or to scare you with potential fear-inducing scenarios, but to offer insights that can help each one of you individually to understand some prevailing energies that you can use to live without the shadow of fear and make positive changes in your lives on an ongoing basis regardless of what is going on with the world, the economy, the planets or the numbers.

Here are some of my recommendations to help you get through the possible turbulence of April 2011.

 

 

With the number Eight accompanied by Fours, there's just no way that money and finances can avoid being integral factors in this month’s events. For you, as an individual, it can be an excellent time to survey your financial circumstances and what you choose to improve or change. Planning strategy is good, but it’s not a time to act. The summer months beginning in June will usher in what can be a fortuitous time for changes. If you have Eight and/or Four strong in your numerology chart, this guidance will be especially applicable to you.

 

And – if you waited to file your income taxes this month, check carefully for the possibility of mechanical errors or information erroneously omitted.

If estate matters and/or litigation are presently part of your life, you may experience a settlement or resolution. The number Eight supports justice.  Again, check all details and make sure that there are no accidental omissions and/or errors.

 

As Eight and Four are numbers that reflect hard work and discipline, the prevailing mood of this month is more serious and labor-intensive.  On the other hand, Eight and Four are numbers of strength and stability, which can be qualities that are a boon to all of us.

Remember when I began this forecast with “when push comes to shove” and said I’d offer a solution? If we find ourselves at some sort of impasse or “pushed against the wall”, the solution is to be flexible, speak up and create change!  In fact, we may well have more incidents of what is already happening: groups of people in this country, the Middle East and elsewhere protesting government oppression and/or current economic conditions and demanding reforms.

You may have previously encountered this quotation from the Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu:

Water is fluid, soft and yielding,

But water will wear away rock,

which is rigid and cannot yield.

As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft and yielding

will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.

This is another paradox.

What is soft is strong."

Anyone who ever doubted the power of water has only to think of the recent tsunami in Japan to realize the truth of Lao Tzu’s observation.

 

 

Angel communicator and author, Doreen Virtue, on her 4AngelTherapy YouTube channel weekly forecast also voiced her belief that the energies of this coming month will be especially strong. She recommended doing extra clearing and shielding with Archangel Michael.  If this ritual appeals to you, click here to access her Archangel Michael clearing video.

Above all else, this month’s number energies advise us to be strong in resolve, flexible in our strategies and persevere! May Eight’s message of “justice and balance” prevail in the long run for your activities and your life.
