Weekly Numerology: The 32nd Week of the Year...

The thirty-second week of the year is ruled by Mercury and the archetype of "The Hierophant". Mercury activates the mind like no other planet. It helps us communicate our experiences by holding space for the power of expression. This can come in the form of words on paper, online, or through our speech, and it can also be in the form of receiving information through learning experiences, body language, or the perceptions we hold from the experiences we have. Paying attention through clear observation, we can listen to words spoken and truly "hear" what is being said underneath it all. Mercury as an element moves around and cannot be still. This can show up as adaptability and detachment, or it can cause us to be nervous, restless, or indecisive. Beware of trickery or deception this week because this planet also brings out the mental agility of those who do not have the best intentions. It is not advised to leave important things laying around unattended. Stay alert, focus attention on the present moment, and bring clarity to areas that feel confusing or questionable.

"The Hierophant" archetype applies wisdom, knowledge, and understanding from life's lessons in order to transmit these teachings and sacred values to the next generations. It is an energy of finding meaning in the lessons that life throws our way, and sharing them. "The Hierophant" holds sacred information and deep tradition from past systems, and is responsible for carrying the most important and profound teachings to those who are ready to receive them. This archetype also brings up the spiritual leaders, and our reverence for those who hold the highest standards and values, while remaining committed to their family, community, culture, and spiritual beliefs that benefit the whole. There is a vibration of protection for the masses, and a dedication to serving the highest and greatest good of all forms of life. When power is misused, the exact opposite can manifest. Those in power with "The Hierophant's" authority can easily take advantage of the vulnerable and cause harm that can affect what is passed on to future communities, spaces, and individuals for generations to come.

The key this week is to keep an open mind, pay attention to what happens, and embody the beliefs that resonate on the deepest levels. The mind is meant to be used, but it also requires discernment due to our personal influences, biases, and agendas. Humans are not perfect and can be very flawed. It is important not to get trapped by our thoughts, but to stay flexible instead. There is always going to be room for growth, no matter who we are. We wouldn't still be here on Earth if there was nothing left to learn and no room to grow. The mind was built to be changed, so this is a great week to go inward and test our deepest beliefs to see if they pass the authenticity evaluation. When in doubt, take long walks to ground all of the thoughts circulating in the head and neutralize the mental energies. Avoid rigidity and embrace the endless possibilities that the mind has the power to create. This life is what we make of it, and it is very short. Make it magical, fulfilling, healing, and beautiful by following the heart and staying open to whatever the Universe may bring. Sometimes the greatest blessing is wrapped up in a package that is unrecognizable on the surface, and all we need to do is go a little deeper.
