Month 2: January 17, 2011 → February 13, 2012

Mystical Numerology uses a 13-month calendar that begins on December 20 each year. The resulting 13 months are almost uniformly 28-day months in a non-leap year. We move into Month 2 on Tuesday, January 17. It will last through Monday, February 13.

 This month takes on the energy and qualities of the 2, which include: global consciousness, Now – the pivotal moment, relationships & sponsorships, problem-solving, organizing power, personal justice and equality.

Mystical: On the Medicine Wheel, “2” is the number that connects the G_d-Source (center) with physical awareness and the material world (west). It is the energy that defines perceptual reality and is the womb for all potential possibilities. It is the step at which the “self” enters perceptual reality and becomes self-aware but still has access to perfect knowing. It represents the ancient mysteries, mystical experience and connection with global consciousness. It is the pivotal “now” moment that anchors both past and future.

Practical: The “2” is the number of conscious intention, intellectual effort, observation and concentration. It is the masculine energy of the problem-solver, of quiet determination and organizing power, the need to acquire and own things, and have possessions. So, it is a good month to apply your mind, get organized and solve problems.

On a collective level, “2” is the number of equilibrium, collective consent, unselfishness and is the cooperative social glue that holds things together.  It is the realm of human relationships and the desire to create equilibrium, the need to share with others. It is about steadfastness and sponsorship. Expect the issue of relationships to be center stage, and – especially in the political arena – the issue of sponsorships.

The “2” also represents the need to acquire and own things and have possessions. This, in turn, is connected with the need to set boundaries, have security, and the desire for personal justice and equality. Expect justice and equality to be in the spotlight.

Downside: Perceptual reality is woven on the loom of duality. All numbers have both positive and negative/shadow qualities. As much as the positive side of the “2” is about relationship and how our individual lives interpenetrate with others, the shadow side of the “2” is characterized by alienation, rootlessness, loneliness, self-pity and paralysis. The positive side looks like calm concentration, but the flip-side is irrational impulses, rambunctiousness and the mob mentality. It is the number of the adversary, and is represented by friction, invasiveness, social stress, and religious fanaticism.

Together with intolerance, judgmentalism and need for control highlighted below in the “7” Universal Month energy, we can expect a fiery political process in the coming 28-day period. Let’s hope our leaders can keep the lid on things.

Mayan Correspondence: “2” is called “E” (pronounced “Eh”), and represents the spiritual path or sacred way. It is the second step in creation, creative action, where the infinite path of time finds a space in which to manifest. It is the path of destiny, the path that a person walks, and the road of life. “E” is the energy of travel, and of facilitators and bringers of news.

7 Universal Month

The Universal Month is calculated by adding the “2” Month to the “5” Year: 2 + 2+0+1+2 = 7).

Mystical: “7” is the number that connects the mind (east) with the Source (center), and so is like a gateway to universal wisdom and infinite potential, especially since “Mind is the builder,” as Edgar Cayce used to say. In Jewish Mysticism, “7” represents the Shekhinah, or feminine face of God. It is the number of humanity but also of heaven, suggesting that heaven really is within us. It is the number of the mystic, oracle, muse, and messenger.

Practical: The “7” energy gives the urge to find the “truth,” and know how the world really works. It represents the quest for fundamental knowledge and the one who ultimately becomes the expert or authority in their chosen field. By extension, it also represents authority figures.

A quest for knowledge is necessarily linked to a passion for knowing, and frequently with a drive to achieve and the ability to inspire others, and to initiate new projects and ideas. The “7” energy also is the number of the idealist, conscience, and moral awareness. The high side of this is also the need to give which is actually a stronger urge in humanity than the need to dominate or control (scientists have recently proven this).

The point is that in a “7” month passion and idealism will be front and center. The “7” energy can prompt individuals and groups to crusade for their beliefs. So, as one person’s ideals are often in direct conflict with someone else’s (e.g. a woman’s right to an abortion vs. the right-to-life, and so on), this is a period when we can expect fireworks in the political arena – especially since the “7” is also about tolerance, judgment and control. We can expect the flip side to appear: intolerant, judgmental and controlling behaviors and actions.

The “7” energy can also cause people to be overzealous in their work, so take care this month that you don’t overdo it. There is a danger of burnout. The “7” energy can prompt you to be quite linear, logical and precise which is great in some cases. But, it can also lead you to be over-controlling, and forget to allow joy and spontaneity into your life.

The softer side of the “7” month is about the contemplative life, and is a good time to be introspective. Indeed, you may find yourself feeling introverted at times and drawn inwards toward periods of contemplation. If this happens for you, recognize that you are probably preparing for the next growth spurt, like going into the chrysalis waiting to be reborn as a butterfly. It is important to periodically stop, and take time for rest, relaxation, recreation and rejuvenation. In fact, to maintain your balance, you may need space to think and recharge – especially during this period. But remember that sometimes, recharging your personal batteries looks like having an adventure, and being carefree and playful!

The “7” is the number of study and the ability to learn, so it is a good time to improve your mind or seek the out the fundamental truth in things.

Downside:  The shadow side of the “7” comes from a lack of trust in yourself and others, and trust in life itself. It can look like obstacles on your path, energy blockages in your body, a broken heart, feeling inadequate or inferior, being overly fussy or absent-minded and unaware, feeling turned-off or being just plain uncaring. These things can combine in various ways to cause psychic distress and often result in protective behaviors. These can include irritability, feeling envious, losing your temper, being directive and controlling, being divisive, and challenging authority figures and authority, in general. Alternately, it can result in disappointment, apathy, laziness and fatigue.

The cure for the shadow side is learning trust, and lightening up by developing a sense of joy in life. In fact, a very good practice during this period is to start the day by filling yourself as much as possible with joy. Try it. It works!

Mayan Correspondence: “7” is called “Noj.” It represents knowledge and wisdom that comes from the universe and the Earth. It is the energy of telepathy and “knowing” without consciously knowing how you know.

This is a very good period for nourishing the mind, improving the memory, and turning knowledge and experience into wisdom. It is a good time to seek harmony in your relationships. It is also a good period to strengthen your inner knowing. A good practice during Noj periods is to ask yourself questions, and then listen to your inner guidance for answers. You might even do this as part of a journaling process.

Month 1: December 20, 2011 → January 16, 2012

Mystical Numerology uses a 13-month calendar that begins on December 20 each year. The resulting 13 months are almost uniformly 28-day months in a non-leap year. We moved into Month 1 on Tuesday, December 20. It will last through Monday, January 16.

This month takes on the energy of the 1: Genesis, birth, the creative principle, potential, the beginnings of things.

Mystical: “1” represents the Creator, the “I AM,” absoluteness, the incomprehensible, zero-point energy, and undifferentiated pre-space. It is the archetypal world that exists beyond both space and time, but out of which the material world is born.

“1” is the supernatural world, out-of-body experiences, psychic energy, clairvoyance, channeling, second sight, gnosis and the ability to know without knowing how you know. This energy is closely linked to having a spiritual drive.

Practical: “1” is the Mother principle, the egg or ovum, the processes of genesis, planting, and birth. It also represents the newborn, sunrise, wonder, and the innocence of being childlike. By extension, the “1” represents the beginnings of things whether they are intangible like new ideas or goals, or tangible things such as newborn children, plants in their seed phase, new projects or ventures. It is the creative principle, the quality or originality, and the power to innovate and invent.

So, this is a good month to establish goals, start new projects, ventures or campaigns. It is a great time to innovate and give roots to new ideas.

“1” also represents the “self,” selfhood and those qualities liked to the self such as positive qualities of self-interest, self-regard and self-reliance. So, work on yourself this month. Remember, we change the world by changing ourselves.

Downside: The shadow side of the “1” energy is “Maya:” the sense-world phenomena that conceals the unity of absolute being – in other words, illusion. On a more practical level, “1”represents cataclysmic events which can totally reshape things and the wretchedness that can result, but also the self-inflicted kind. On a personal level, a “1” month puts strong-willed natures and self-interest center stage (which we are certainly seeing in the political arena).

Mayan Correspondence: In the Kiche Mayan tradition, this energy is called Batz. It is symbolized by the “Thread” that connects past, present and future. Batz is the start of life, infinite time, and unity. This sign symbolizes cosmic phenomena and original wisdom. Batz is the Creator of life and wisdom, and presides over the future.

The energy of Batz is a good time to put things in order or to begin planning a project. It is a good time for marriage, or to bring more harmony into relationship, partnership or business. It is also a good energy to solve family problems. It protects artists and is an auspicious time to say prayers for things to grow and prosper.

6 Universal Month

The Universal Month is calculated by adding the “1” Month to the “5” Year (2012 = 2+0+1+2 = 5).

Mystical:  The mystical meaning of the “6” is the soul drinking light in order to embrace ancient wisdom. The energy of the “6” represents the personal part of you that reaches up with intention to embrace and work with the sacred. It brings heightened perception and a window to the collective consciousness. The “6” is the number of the shaman, prophet, and awakener.

Practical: On a practical level, the “6” is the number of causality and formative power. This translates into personal power, dynamism and making things happen. “6” is the number of discovery, and governs the questions, “How, who, why and why not?” It is the energy of change and favors those people who are originators and awakeners, influencers and trendsetters.

It is also the energy that deals with finding one’s place in the scheme of things.  It is the people, the public, society, and social cohesion. A “6” month enhances the ability to influence people and relate with others, so it is no wonder that the political process is already in top gear going full throttle.

Philosophy, governing principles, laws, reward systems, and ethical principles all fall under the energy of the “6.” So, the current political debate over the underlying principles of the Republican party and capitalism, executive compensation, the ethics of “creative destruction” in business (e.g. venture capitalism vs. vulture capitalism) – all of these are in keeping with the energy of the month.

The “6” represents the sacred marriage of masculine and feminine. It is the number of relationships, emotional wellness, individual happiness, the sense of belonging, and lovemaking. In a “6” month, you are likely to feel more empathic and connected with others, and relationships will be up for review.

Downside:  The “6” represents the often unseen shadow parts of things, the polarities between light and dark, and the imbalances in life and in our systems. It is the number of arrogance and cynicism, insecurity and indecision, self-destruction, procrastination and avoidance. The flip-side is volatile situations, revolutionary change, domination, avarice and dictatorial abuse.

Mayan Correspondence: “6” is called Ajmaq, the Lord of Forgiveness and Reconciliation. It also represents ancient wisdom that comes from the brain in communication with the Spirit Guides.

Any Ajmaq period is about forgiveness – forgiving others for their mistakes, and forgiving yourself for your mistakes. It is a good time to reconcile with others. It is also a good time to cure illnesses, defend the dispossessed, seek justice, and achieve harmony with Mother Earth.

Symptoms of the Coming Shift

Ways the Shift Can Happen

Thanks to Sue Mehrtens at the Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences for the following article:*

See http://jungiancenter.org/ for their website.

 

As the energies of the planet are rising, each individual experiences the shift of energy in different ways. Here are some of the more common manifestations:

Mood swings. Subtle or powerful mood swings, from periods of great sadness with no obvious reason to periods of elation, also with no apparent cause. Sometimes this shows up as intense emotional outbursts (especially if we have been unaware of or not processing feelings as they arise). In this transitional interval it is really helpful to allow emotions to flow; don’t repress or express, but rather confess – write in your journal or share your feelings with someone with whom you resonate.

Fluctuating energy levels. You may find yourself changing from feeling fully energized to totally exhausted, at the drop of a hat, for no obvious reason.

Fluctuating subtle energy levels. The changes in subtle energy can manifest in feelings of being ungrounded, “spacey” or dissociated from reality, or feeling like you are plugged into an electrical outlet. To handle these manifestations, practice grounding exercises on a regular basis. These can also include yoga, Tai Chi, and so on.

Physical pain. Mild but inexplicable headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, and even nerve pain are possible when we get overcharged with the changing harmonics.

Greater sensitivity. This can take the form of feeling with your entire being, rather than just your 5 senses. You might notice stronger feelings around other people and more intuitive impressions.

Intense dreaming. You may have many more dreams than you usually remember or your dreams may have lots of symbolism, deeper meaning or intensity, or your dreams may seem to make no sense at all.

Brain fog. You may find it hard to focus or make sense of things. You may have trouble finding the words you want to say or your verbal expression may get garbled.

Changes in the diet. You may crave foods you never liked before, or the reverse: you may no longer like foods that have been favorites. Food allergies may also develop.

Digestive sensitivities. Constipation or diarrhea may become problems, or you may find indigestion becomes a problem. Some people develop heartburn, others a stronger appetite with more hunger pangs.

Lack of concentration or decisiveness. During those times when you are not fully adjusted to the changing energies you may find it hard to do mental work requiring concentration. When your system has not yet caught up to the new energies you also may find it hard to make a decision.

Memory issues. During intense energy fluxes, short-term memory can be affected. If you are markedly out of phase with the new energies, even long-term memory can be a problem.

Unusual awareness. The rising energies are helping us to awaken to other realities, and this can show up in daily life in heightened intuition, precognition, or telepathy. It can also manifest as glimpses or visions of other realities, especially via peripheral vision; these visions can be of people, animals, or inexplicable scenes.

Relationship issues. Everyone on the planet is being affected by these energies, and everyone will react differently. When you enter a relationship, your energy and the other person’s energies harmonize, but as the energies now are changing, you may find that you are no longer in harmony with your partner. Relationships may become challenging or may even end altogether, if they no longer fit. If this happens, remember that you will develop other relationships that are in complete harmony with your energy.

Lack of tolerance for lies. The rising energies have no place for untruth, and you may find yourself developing a drive to seek the truth, and a fine sensitivity for sensing when others are not being honest.

The need for solitude. Due to the heightened sensitivity of this time, it is not unusual for people to find they need time alone. Solitude can be very healing now, but keep a balance. Isolation can become just as unbalanced as compulsive extraversion (that is one curse of the American temperament).

Interruption of sleep patterns. You may find yourself sleeping intermittently, having difficulty falling asleep, or feeling the need to sleep more than usual. Be gentle with yourself and try to create for yourself a daily schedule that allows you to get adequate rest. This might take the form of short naps during the day or going to bed earlier than usual.

Fear. We already see, in the media, how the approach of December 21, 2012 is being hyped. Because sensationalism sells movies, magazines and newspapers, we can expect to find all sorts of bogus material appearing in the months ahead, all designed to stir up fear and other negative emotions (especially in a U.S. election year!). The key here is to remember your personal truth and the reality that we always have choice: We can see the glass half empty (the scarcity response) or the glass half full (the abundance response). Reality is what we create, not what others might want us to believe.

Full-blown awakening. This effect can be very disconcerting and challenging to your sense of reality. You may experience bliss, feel intensely the love of the Universe, recognize the inherent perfection in all things, and not want to leave this wonderful space. Meanwhile, others (especially family and close friends) may wonder what’s wrong with you and worry that you have “flipped out.” If this happens to you, remember that the bliss won’t last (Alas!); you’ll return to mundane reality, but with new perceptions of it.

Changes in global relations. In the months ahead, we are going to see negative changes (conflicts for political or religious gain, power struggles between countries, factions, tribes, or races, or more terrorism) as well as positive shifts (the growing awareness of the need for a world that works for everyone, more calls for a one-world perspective and changes to our social, economic and political systems to create equity and justice for all).

2012 Overview

2012

As a species of life, you are poised at that moment when you are required to make a leap of faith. ~Barbara Marciniak~ (from her 1995 book, Earth)

The year 2012 has been much in the general consciousness lately. Hundreds of articles have been written discussing Mayan Prophecies. There’s been considerable speculation about the possibility of coming disasters. Some even fear the end of the world. Others believe that the 2012 Winter Solstice will usher in a new golden age of awakened consciousness, like flipping a switch on December 21. While the hype is great for marketing movies and selling books, the truth may be more complicated.

The truth is that nobody really knows for sure what will happen, not even the Mayans. Yet, it is clear that there is an acceleration taking place – and that is one of the predictions of the Mayan elders. Time and events are speeding up, our DNA is vibrating faster, and change is everywhere we look.

In 1997, Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, primary keeper of the teachings, visions and prophecies of the Mayan people, told my wife, Jeanne White Eagle, and me that 2002 would mark the beginning of the “time of terror,” anticipating by almost five years the events of 9/11/2001. He also said that the five-year period from 2007-2012 would be what he called the “difficult times.” This period would be marked not only by economic hardship but also by the marked increase in the frequency and intensity of storms, earthquakes and volcanoes, and by a general acceleration in the pace of life. He said that by the end of 2010, it would be clear to all who were even remotely aware that something was changing.

When asked about 2012, it was clear that Don Alejandro knew that the world wasn’t coming to an end. It was his hope that people would “wake up” and become more spiritually aware, that they would begin to shift their lifestyles away from mass consumerism to something more holistic and environmentally responsible and sustainable, and that we would learn to get along with one another.

While it does seem that more and more people are experiencing an awakening, it is also clear that we haven’t reached a critical mass yet. I believe that the underlying purpose for the earth changes, economic hardships, and natural disasters is to move us collectively to an awakening point.

We are in the birth canal experiencing the convulsions and chaos of a new age being born – and we have been for some time. There is always a reaction to a new energy entering in. As things change, people feel threatened and lock down into fear. This is especially true for the power-brokers and wealthy elite who have so much invested in the status quo. This causes polarization, unrest and gridlock, exactly what we are seeing around the world.

So, while the contractions of the birth process of a new age have already begun, they will very likely continue on past 2012. In fact, December 21, 2012 may be less about flipping a switch from “off” to “on” than turning the rheostat of a dimmer switch up a notch or two.

As the vibration of the planet continues to increase, those who act from compassion, love, understanding and unity consciousness will flourish and thrive because they are in harmony with the new energy. Those who act from anger, fear, control, and domination will have more and more difficulty because their actions are out of phase with the new energy – and because the positive energy is far more powerful than the negative.

Indeed, the changes that are happening will eventually lead to a “tipping point” when there is a critical mass of people who wake up to the fact that they no longer have to continue to support a power structure and the systems that don’t have their best individual or collective interests at heart. But, this may take until the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014.

In this coming year, we are being asked to take a look at the tension between dark and light, love and fear that exist within us, recognizing that our own consciousness affects the reality around us. As we heal ourselves we help heal the world.

Let’s take a closer look at 2012 and explore the possibilities.

2012 as a “5” Year

2012 is the end of a 5125-year cycle called the “Great Sun Cycle.” This very precise cycle of 1,872,000 days ends with the winter solstice on December 21, 2012 when the Earth crosses the ecliptic and aligns with the central sun of our Milky Way Galaxy. 2012 is also the end of a 12,960-year cycle of masculine polarity, and a longer 25,920-year cycle called the axial precession of the equinoxes during which the earth moves through all of the 12 zodiac signs (such as the current “Age of Aquarius”).

In essence, we are returning to the same area in space that the earth traversed at the beginning of this long cycle almost 26,000 years ago, and this is like taking a turn upwards on the spiral of life. Some researchers say that we are passing through a high-energy sector and that supports a shift in consciousness, maybe even a dimensional shift. Whatever happens, it is clear that 2012 offers us the opportunity to recreate ourselves and step fully into our spiritual power.

If we look at 2012 from the standpoint of Mystical Numerology, it may help to understand what to expect. At the macro level, the Universal Year or overall umbrella energy for 2012 is a “5” (2+0+1+2 = 5). “5” years embody the connection between the infinite, spiritual dimension and the personal, emotional dimension of life. It brings a connection with ancestral spirits. Spirit reaches down to touch our hearts and infuse us with knowing. It is the Goddess energy of the feminine archetype. It brings the power to conceive and create. It is the energy of desire and fertility, and the caring energy of friends and family. It puts the land and nature in the spotlight.

The “5” year activates divine longing, teachability, education, and inquisitiveness. It is the dynamic verb-reality that emphasizes the flow of energy and freedom, and the drive to seek the answers to life’s fundamental questions. Balance and harmony arise from movement, play and laughter. It is very expansive and can be hard to handle, akin to drinking light from a cosmic fire hose.

In a “5” year, Spirit is in charge, sending visions and insights, and shaking up our lives and our reality by breaking down whatever blocks the flow of life’s energy. The pineal gland or “third eye,” located in the center of the head, is also a “5″ energy. So, perhaps, 2012 is the year that it becomes more fully activated as a step leading to a general awakening.

The “5” energy wants freedom, change and spontaneity. It doesn’t like limitations or boundaries. This year is about finding a new sense of sustainable freedom that will take us fully into the 21^st century, and leaving behind whatever no longer serves us as individuals, communities and societies.

The “5” is also about learning the power of a focused intention to create whatever inspires us. In the Jewish Kabbalah, “5” is considered the number of understanding. In a “5” year, ancient wisdom connects with us at a heart level and we have the ability grasp deep insights. The kind of knowing that results gives the ability to shape ideas, projects, and life events through the power of imagination and intention.

Personal and collective balance this year comes from cultivating the freedom to create, and to pursue the beauty of life. Artistic endeavors, music, creativity, and play, and the powerful energy of sex and sexuality are all possible ways to strengthen the spiritual—emotional connection and stay in balance. … [Note: In the last “5” year (2003), Gay Rights was a hot topic when the Supreme Court of Massachusetts ruled that gay couples had the right to marry.]

Women’s rights, gay rights, race relations are all highlighted this year.

Downside: Obstacles to the flow of energy this year create chaos, restlessness or lethargy, obsessiveness, and denial. Karmic issues arise. The “ego-mind” wants to reassert control but is not in charge. It is the year of the Apocalypse (a “5” energy). Pain and grief can result. Racism and war are manifestations of the shadow side.

Mayan Correspondence: The “5” is called “Tzikin,” the “Birds” who are considered the intermediaries with the spirit realm and higher consciousness. The energy of this year is about the flow of abundance and prosperity, and the richness and treasures of the Earth – or what may be blocking them.

2012 is also the 12^th year of the new century, so it also carries aspects of the “12.”

“12” is a visionary energy, and supports people who are pathfinders. So, especially in conjunction with the “5” energy of innovation and creativity, expect new discoveries that help to redefine how we look at reality – including the concepts of time and matter, and reality as something more malleable than we’ve been previously taught. … “Free Energy” is also a “12″ vibration, so maybe we will learn more about some of the free energy devices that have already been developed. …

On a practical level, expect new developments in computers and connectivity: even more capable tablets and e-book readers (as well as cheap ones), high-definition phones, and the like. Technologies that increase our level of connectivity are, I believe, an intermediate phase moving us collectively toward a global mind-link and telepathic capability.

Extraterrestrial is also a “12″ vibration. In his well-researched book, Source Field Investigations, David Wilcock reveals evidence pointing to December 21, 2012 as the date when the entire world will finally be aware that we are not alone in the universe but have extraterrestrial relatives.

On a very practical level, the “12” energy supports achievers and people who are able to help shape things on a large scale – even through small beginnings and from behind the scenes at a grassroots level. It’s helpful to remember that each action you take has an effect for seven generations (140-150 years). So, small shifts and innovations in the present can result in big changes in the future.

The “12” is the energy of woman and women, and is procreative and strong. The polarity of the planet has shifted from masculine to feminine, and this is the year of the woman. Expect more and more women to be in the spotlight, and be movers and shakers in shifting our worldview.

The “12” is also the energy of “service” to others. So, therapists and those in helping professions will likely feel uplifted and energized, and may be very busy! It is a year to pay your blessings forward.

Downside: The “12” energy often shakes things up. It is an explosive energy. The negative aspects for this year can look like sudden and unexpected trials. Governments, financial systems and institutions will continue to be destabilized. And, very likely, the intense and unusual weather patterns will be with us throughout 2012, as will natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes, and wildfires.

2012 is a year that fosters absolutism and extremism. It is a year when people who are shallow and inept take center stage or may cross your path. All of your self-doubts may come up to be addressed. If you find that you have a tendency to be a workaholic during this period, it may be a way to avoid looking deeply inward.

Mayan Correspondence: “12” is called “Iq,” the Wind, the Breath of the Creator, and the air that we breathe. It is inspiration, and the principle of vitality that gives life and intuition. But, its energy often shakes things up.

Month 13: November 22 → December 19, 2011

Mystical Numerology uses a 13-month calendar that begins on December 20 each year. The resulting 13 months are almost uniformly 28-day months in a non-leap year. We move into Month 13 on Tuesday, November 22. It will last through Monday, December 19.

This month takes on the energy of the “13.” It is a month of endings and beginnings. It is a time to stop, take a breath, say thanks for our blessings, give the gift of love to others, and integrate all that has taken place over the year. In this way, we make ourselves ready for the New Year and the new beginnings it will bring. And, 2012 is likely to bring some powerful new beginnings!

We are living at a time when reality as we have known it is being redefined. Partly, this involves an acceleration of events. We are manifesting our intentions more and more quickly. This can be wonderful! But, it also brings with it a responsibility to be clear and conscious about what we are creating with our thoughts and feelings. If we are in fear and uncertainty, and that is where we are placing our attention, then this is what we are going to create.

So, instead of getting sucked into the vortex of media-fed fears, let us begin each day by filling ourselves with joy and love as completely as we are able to do. Let us change the world by making this be our conscious creation.

Mystical: “13” is the energy of the physical world merging with the spiritual dimension. The sound / chant of this connection is: iii – oh. Whenever you feel out of balance, you can chant or sing iii – oh. It will help.

The “13” is the energy of revelation, divination and prediction. It strengthens the ability to receive intuitive insights and tap into ancient wisdom. It is also the energy of ancestors and guardian angels. It represents the unlimited potential of the pure present, the “now” moment.

Practical: The energy of this month presents you with “choice points,” opportunities for you to choose between possible paths, different worldviews, projects, priorities and goals, and between staying stuck or breaking free. Indeed, it activates inner work that can lead to personal change on the individual level, and complete paradigm shifts at the macro level.

The “13” propels you to put knowledge into use in some practical way to build something lasting in the real world. It is experience, readiness, life, the community, material rewards and wealth. It activates practical business savvy, highlights expertise and fosters goal-oriented actions. It is a good time to tie up loose ends and make a plan for the coming year.

Advisors, catalysts for change, facilitators and joint solutions are in the spotlight.

“13” is also the number of wealth, and wealth-consciousness. So, you may find a few windfalls that add to your holiday cheer!

This is a month of community, and a time for giving something back in gratitude for all the blessings that you have received throughout the year. This month is about the fabric of society, selflessness, grassroots and volunteer efforts, and civil courage.

Downside: The downside of the 13-energy can bring disorder, mistakes, failure and meltdowns. At its worst, it can evoke feelings that life is meaningless and all pursuits are aimless. It can cause people (and countries) to become insular, standoffish, selfish and moody. This side of the “13” tends to experience the glass “half-empty,” and see the scarcity in life. As a reaction to this belief in scarcity and the meaningless of life, the negative “13” energy can promote personal aggrandizement at the expense of others.

Mayan Correspondence: In the Kiche Mayan tradition, this energy is called Aqabal. It is the dusk and the dawn. It is about endings and beginnings, starting new things and letting go of others, breaking through old barriers and limitations and cleaning up what is out of balance. It presents an opportunity for personal and collective rejuvenation and renewal. This 28 day period is an opportunity to leave behind what no longer serves us, and make a new beginning in which we can rise above and transcend whatever is limiting us.

17 Universal Month

The Universal Month is calculated by adding the “13” Month to the “4” Year (2011 = 2+0+1+1 = 4).

Mystical: The “17” connects the physical world with the mental dimensions. The sound / chant of this connection is: iii – ah.

“17” is the power of the material world infusing the mind to become like a superconductor for an expanded sense of physical awareness. It represents the zero-point field, collective memory, and the energy of agape or altruistic love. It is “beingness” … as in, being fully present in the body in this “now” moment. It is the motivating force of “cause” in the physical world, the number of psychokinetic abilities and magic, the energy possessed by illumined adepts who are miracle workers.

Practical: “17” is the number of the Transformer. It is the power of metamorphosis like the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. So, expect transformations to occur this month – on personal and collective levels, including in national and international affairs.

This energy often exposes the deepest truths, so pay attention. Listen to what your body and your heart have to tell you. If there is anything buried or hidden that needs to come to the surface to be processed and released, this is the month when it may occur. … Of course, sometimes this is no fun, especially if your personal identity is challenged.

The energy of the month is about the causal ability that enables you to work miracles. This includes personal healing at all levels. So, it is a great month to get body work done of some sort, such as massage, acupuncture, Reiki, cranial-sacral, energy attunements, Bio-genesis, Rolfing, and so on. The modality of your choice will activate your healing process, and help clear and reorient you for the coming year.

This is an especially powerful period for sitting meditation and quieting the mind as a way of tapping into the “zero-point field” of all knowledge.  However you do it, through physical exertion or meditation, you may find yourself on a quest for understanding.

This is a month that favors artists, artistic ability, beauty, and visual thinking. This is also a good month for public relations, dialogue and promoting togetherness.

Downside: The “17” energy can bring narrowness of thinking and, perhaps, fundamentalism that offers a comfortable structure free of questioning. This is not to be disparaging of fundamentalist thinking. Rather it is an observation that fundamentalism is the polar opposite of a deeply questioning approach to life.

Under the influence of the “17” energy, people can feel misunderstood, and become defensive – even to the point of being rude or lying. During this period, take care not to get caught up in entanglements, because the downside of this month can also lead estrangement in relationships, marital strife, overstepping traditional boundaries in sexuality, and so on.

This month, especially with the holidays, people may feel a need to be ostentatious in order to be accepted or “seen.” It is a time to remember that the most important things in life are free: friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith.

Mayan Correspondence: “17” is called “Kej,” the Deer. It has to do with the powers of swiftness and sure-footedness. It is a time for movement, in general, and a great time to move forward in your life. Just take care that you don’t overstep your boundaries and/or trample on the rights of others, or become a bully. This is the best month for seeking harmony with nature, and finding balance with the elements.

Guidance about the coming month: In all that you do this month, act from love. It is a time of renewal for the body, spirit and mind. Be gentle with yourself as you bring one phase of your life to a close with the ending of the year, and prepare for new energies to enter.

Month 12: October 25 → November 21, 2011

Mystical Numerology uses a 13-month calendar that begins on December 20 each year. The resulting 13 months are almost uniformly 28-day months in a non-leap year. We move into Month 12 on Tuesday, October 25. It will last through Monday, November 21.

This month takes on the energy of the “12.” I call it the month of “Adaptability & Compassion.”

Mystical: The energy of the “12” month connects the spiritual and mental dimensions of life. It brings spiritual intelligence and creative forces into play that open a gateway to Divine Love and an experience of connectedness with the larger whole. This brings the potential for group coherence and peak awareness, and bestows greater receptiveness to visionary experiences.

Practical: At its best, the “12” imbues us with the power of the pathfinder who can see beyond the curtain of the prevailing worldview to new possibilities, potentials and directions. The connection between spirit and mind fuels creative thinking that reaches outside the box to idea-driven solutions, innovation and new inventions. It can be an exhilarating blast of energy!

The “12” energy of the month also activates the highest good that is in the human spirit, and puts service, peacemaking, moral principles, and issues of honesty and social justice center stage. It can lead us to be inspired and to inspire others. It is a good time to take another look at your Life Purpose and see if you are on-track, or decide that course corrections need to be made.

The rarified atmosphere of the visionary energy is balanced by a sense of realism, and desire to make things known and measurable. There is a drive for achievement that comes with the energetic “12” month that can prompt people to be crusaders in support of causes that are important to them. This can be positive but also can be taken to extremes. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in this political year when the campaigns are revving up around the country. Since the “12” is also the number of religion, expect a blurring of the lines between government and religion to continue to be part of the political process.

It is a good month for coordination and strategy, making it an auspicious time for organizations and businesses to plan for the future. It is also a time that favors risk-takers and business acquisitions. The positive energy of this period can bring a cornucopia of plenty. Maybe this will help to give the ailing U.S. and world economies a boost.

This is not a time for shrinking violets. Adaptability and a fearless attitude are warranted. A cultivated spirit of playfulness and carefreeness will also help you ride the wave of exhilarating but potentially explosive energy this month.

Women and women’s rights are in the spotlight. It is a great period to see a therapist or body-worker.

Downside: The numbers who have the biggest positives also seem to have the deepest darkness. The negative pole of the “12” energy brings extremism. It can bring a tendency to be a workaholic and overdo things. It can bring up self-doubt, defeatism and a sense of hopelessness. Alternately, it can heighten tendencies toward egocentric, pretentious, rebellious or moralistic behavior. Be on guard against those people who are “controllers” and have a need to control everything and everyone in their reality. They will very likely have a tough time this month.  Also watch out for increased displays of self-importance, or for resentment and vindictive, hypercritical people. … This is certain to be fodder for the potentially polarizing political debates in the U.S. and around the world.

The real danger of this time is that the “12” energy is explosive and can be potentially dangerous and violent. It is the energy of earthquakes, explosions and shockwaves. It can promote ruthless actions and even atrocities.

Mayan Correspondence: “12” is called “Iq,” the Wind, the Breath of the Creator, and the air that we breathe. It is inspiration, and the principle of vitality that gives life and intuition. “Iq” is also represented by hurricanes and tornadoes. Its energy shakes things up.

16 Universal Month

 The Universal Month is calculated by adding the “12” Month to the “4” Year (2011 = 2+0+1+1 = 4).

Mystical: The “16” is the number that connects the energy of the mental and physical realms, the mind and body. The “16” is the energy of the “Master Mind” and is connected with ancestral knowledge, particularly the Grandmothers. It plugs you into the perennial wisdom of the “collective unconscious.”

Practical: The positive side of this energy inclines a person toward discipline and hard work, a grounded wisdom, and an underlying trust in life.

The energy of this month is about matter in service to the higher mind. In other words, by holding an intention in your mind and giving it adequate focus during this period, you can manifest or create what you intend more easily than at other times. Your “mind” connecting with the physical world puts energy into motion in a way that manifests your intention. This process can be used as an ability to cure or heal, draw to you all that you need, and make significant shifts in the physical world.

The “16” is also “logic,” and so gives one a strong logical mind, and the ability to sort things through in an orderly manner. People who are interpreters, synthesizers and/or strategists are favored during this time.

Downside: The “16” can be a difficult energy to handle, especially in combination with the visionary “12.” The “16” puts you in connection with ancient wisdom, and can sometimes feel like overload. It can blow the ego apart. Thus, in traditional Tarot decks, it is called the “BlastedTower.” It can make a person feel emptiness and constricted, uncommunicative or moody. The shadow side of the “16” can be prone to surliness, testiness and thoughtless, unsympathetic, biting remarks, even dirty tricks. Alcohol can be a problem as a way to anesthetize the feelings of emptiness and uselessness.

Mayan Correspondence: This is a time to contact the ancestors, cure potentially fatal illnesses, prevent accidents, ask for protection during travel, and find access to spiritual knowledge. Communication with higher beings is possible throughout this month, as is access to dimensional gates.

Guidance about the coming month: Many will be surprised during this month by an unexpected turn of events that will serve to reorient their lives. We are moving into times when the truth of our connectedness, one to another, must begin to heal the sense of separation that is still the predominant worldview. Events will help us recognize that we, as members of the human species, are all in the same boat. Divisiveness and continued fighting rocks the boat, and we are all in danger of drowning. This month will likely be a wake up call for those who can hear to climb aboard the Ark.
