Weekly Numerology: The 45th Week of the Year...

The forty-fifth week of the year is influenced by Mars and the archetype of "The Hermit". Mars is the planet of action, completion, and power. There is energy available to us to tap into this week, but there are also wonderful opportunities to rest if that is what is needed. Without giving in to the desire to act impulsively, Mars can bring us courage, strength, and magnetism. However, if we fail to see the consequences of our actions, then Mars can keep us on the defense. Anger, fighting, and warlike behavior are the results of reactivity. At the same time, Mars can also offer opportunities for peace, generosity, and Love. Humbleness vs arrogance, positive action vs recklessness, and completion vs laziness are all choices that Mars asks us to make. The greatest challenge of the week comes from our choice to use our power for the good, to take time to relax, and to keep cool and not start arguments or fights. We can lean on higher wisdom and ancient philosophy without becoming overly theoretical. Mars helps us to have the stamina to do really great things when we are balanced and coming from a place of Love and not vindictiveness.

"The Hermit" is the archetype of spiritual enlightenment and wisdom. This is the energy of introspection, self-reflection, and deep soul searching. It just so happens to fall on the week of the Scorpio New Moon and the 11-11 Portal, which is amplifying the heightened awareness and deep meditative path of self-discovery. "The Hermit" is that part of us that has had an inner awakening, discovery, or epiphany that helps us experience something greater than ourselves. After going through this moment of expansion, we are able to be a Light and guide for others to do the same. "The Hermit" goes through the sacred journey back to the self, which allows the inner voice to become louder and more clear. When the Light is turned on inside, we are able to understand the truth and realign our lives to fit our highest visions and goals. "The Hermit" doesn't retreat because he is lost, but instead because he understands that the answers to the biggest questions we seek are inside of us and not outside. This is a wonderful week to look within, to learn how to compromise with others, and to never allow another person to take away our optimism.
