2007 is a 9 Year

Numbers can be fascinating or frustrating, depending upon your comfort with them. It is no easy task to befriend numbers if you have any sort of issue with them. We often slip into avoidance of numbers regarding money or bank accounts. So take a deep breath and give yourself an opportunity to amend your rapport with them.

Numerology is one simple way to understand energy in ourselves and those around us. It’s a relatively ancient art that can calculate your life energy by using your birth date, or can calculate the energy your name has, or the energy of your residence by calculating the alpha/numerical values your address.

Numbers tag us too. We get a Social Security number, a phone number, one for our drivers’ license and our car registration. Every business account we open has a number, every book we read. Numbers are everywhere pointing us to the energy fields we where we live, work and play. Rarely do we calculate them to see what their energy field is about and how it may influence us.

Our global year is going to be a 9. Add the digits of 2, 0, 0, and 7. That means our whole global energy is 9. The number NINE plays a part in numerous cultures and religions around the world, making it significant for our cosmological makeup. The following examples reflect only a part of these cultures and religious practices involving the number 9.

Nine happens to be three times three, and three is the number of the Triple Goddess. There are 9 Muses: Calliope, Clio, Euterpe, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polyhymnia, Urania and Thalia. There are 9 Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Nine is the number of the Hermit or Teacher in the Tarot deck. The 9th House in Astrology is one of Spirit, philosophy and long distance travel. The 9th Zodiac sign is Sagittarius, the Holy Wanderer, the one who enthusiastically seeks the meaning of life, loves adventure and foreign lands.

Traditionally, there are 9 Sacred Woods burned in the Celtic Beltane Fires, each with various magickal properties. People gather & dance around fires through the night, jumping over flames to ensure a successful and prosperous summer. You could check out the Wiccan Rede for the actual liturgical spell.

• Birch - The Goddess, or receptive energy
• Oak - The God, or projective energy
• Hazel - Knowledge and wisdom
• Rowan (Mountain Ash) - Life
• Hawthorne - Purity & fairy magick
• Willow - Death, sacred to Hecate
• Fir - Birth & rebirth
• Apple - Love & family
• Vine - Joy & happiness

When you get in tuned with this global energy of 9, you can expect to be more inspired, more intuitive and creative. It will be a year where we can see the big picture around us and dream the dream. Of course, in attending to life’s details, it is the kind of energy that urges us to avoid bad habits.

If you have never examined the numerical energy fields that exist in your life, you may wish to do this simple calculation with your Social Security number, your phone and cell numbers. Look at your business accounts. You can calculate the numerical value of a city or state to find its energy.
