Weekly Numerology: The 36th Week of the Year...

The thirty-sixth week of the year is influenced by the planet Mars and the archetype of “The Hermit”. Mars is the red planet of fire, passion, energy, and action. It can work for us when we utilize it to complete projects, exercise for health, or respond passionately to life, Love, and career. Mars can work against us when we feed into impulsive, abusive, or reactive behaviors. The planet of giving back, Mars is elevated, wise, and profoundly deep. There is a sexual energy that brings a creative spark when it shows up. We have to be careful with impulsive behavior, as it can get us in trouble. Also, anger is a fire without healthy boundaries that manifest struggle, aggression, or a quick, hot temper. We have constructive and destructive forces at play this week. It is a wonderful opportunity to destruct the past, the trauma, and the pain, and construct our dreams, our passions, and our higher gifts. Mars can also express itself in peace, calm, relaxation, and even laziness. As fast and productive as this energy can be, the opposite can be true as well. Sometimes rest is needed in order to be more efficient. Mars can help us determine that.

"The Hermit" archetype has to do with our spiritual journeys. In order to receive enlightenment, each of us must travel up the mystical mountain of knowledge and understanding. This usually takes us into a very introspective time to reflect, meditate, and soul-search. "The Hermit" marks a time of self-discovery and opportunity to reach a much more heightened state of awareness. "The Hermit" helps us listen to ourselves, and this sometimes brings us into a state of solitude. However, after returning from the depths of the heart to heal and learn, we can find ourselves manifesting a realignment with who we are and the goals that we have made. As each of us learns and grows, we also get to decide if we are the kind of people who help others along the way or not. This archetype holds the power to help bring our dreams to fruition, or the un-manifested into actualization. This week we are being asked to listen to our inner guidance and follow our inner judgement. We also need to be aware of the advice and direction that others in power give us. Sometimes the intentions are pure, and other times there is a hidden agenda or evil force behind the scenes. By following the intuitive hits we receive, we will be able to navigate through any darkness we encounter and discern between the good and the bad. Trust, listen, follow the truth, and allow the heart to guide the way toward a more fulfilling reality. This is a wonderful week to spread our wings and fly!
