Weekly Numerology: The 9th Week of the Year...

The ninth week of the year is ruled by the planet Mars and the archetype "The Hermit". Mars brings life force, vitality, energy, and action. It can also bring fighting, anger, violence, and war - depending on how you choose to tap into its power. There is strength and courage available to each of us, and this can help our inner drive and will power to actualize our dreams. This week, we need to channel some of that Mars energy into movement like walking, practicing breath work, or working out the body. By doing this, we can help ourselves become more focused on constructing and destructing aspects of our lives, and less energy being reactive or impulsive. Mars can also bring peace and calm, or even laziness at times. As a giving number, the 9 offers us completion of a cycle, gestation of a birth, or the manifestation of a dream. When we can align our dreams to the greater good of all and serve others at the same time, then a higher purpose can unfold in our lives. Mars is a wonderful catalyst for positive change.

"The Hermit" archetype offers deep wisdom, inner truths, and spiritual enlightenment from the knowledge gained by our life experiences. "The Hermit" is the inner sage that has climbed the mountains of life's challenges, reached the top, and is offered a higher perspective, deeper insights, or wise advise as the reward. It is the archetype of inner mastery, allowing us to energetically "climb" higher toward the Light in order to see our reality more clearly. As "The Hermit" holds the guiding Light, there is a choice to share that Light or keep it for oneself. Sometimes we end up alone with our wisdom, as the truths we acquire come from our lived experiences and reflections, and not from the outer noise or popular trends that are pushed down our throats every day. "The Hermit" makes us slow down or even take a pause to reflect on our life journeys. We can choose the route of fear and become isolated, or we can choose Love and reconnect with our higher selves in sacred solitude. Internal reflection is the key that allows us to uncover our shadows, take accountability for our lives without shaming ourselves, and become more real and honest about who we are now and who we have been in the past. "The Hermit" also teaches us about our perceptions, and how we can use tools like social media and YouTube to make an impact on how people perceive this reality we live in. This is a time to check our sources, validate the information we share, and make sure that we only put out the truth, while not becoming part of the illusion. As we deepen our sense of compassion, practice kindness, dwell in thoughtfulness, and focus inwardly, we can rise above the storms of life, fill ourselves with Light, and illuminate the darkness for all who are also ready to see the truth. It is a magical time of transformation when we choose to grow with Mars and "The Hermit".
