The 11/2 (or 2) and 5 vibes have a relational quality to them. Both numbers tend to give an uptick to those who seek to "get together," if you catch my drift. However, the hidden motives and momentum behind these two numbers are vastly different. 2 energy lends itself to emotional intimacy, snuggling, late-night talks, and gazing softly into each other's eyes. The 5 can also be highly intimate, but it's a lot more of a rough-and-tumble/I-want-to-explore-every-inch-of-your-body kind of intimacy. Put another way, 2 energy leans more toward emotional togetherness, while the 5 is pure physicality. (Remember 5 rules the Five Senses.) In its most reductive form, think Love vs. Lust.
Read MoreYes, folks, it's finally arrived. It's been 11 months since our last 1 Universal Month. June 2020 erupted angrily onto the scene and has been bubbling like a boiling cauldron ever since. April 2021 was our 9 Universal Month, signaling an opportunity to resolve difficulties from the past 11 months. (We had two 6 and 7 Universal Months from November through February due to the changing of the Universal Year and calendar year). Those that did the work of humanitarian-minded resolution, putting the good of others ahead of their own comfort, and wrapping up loose ends are staring at a blank slate and a fresh horizon in May. Those that did not will languish on with the same old lessons, the same old baggage, dragging the unresolved past into the future, dulling its sparkling keen shine with a dreary all-encompassing fogbank.
Read More“Look back to June 2020. That was our last 1 Universal Month. Assess world events through that lens. Think about the themes that were born during that time. It was a powerful, angry month, and justifiably so- there was a lot to be mad about. But in April, we are called to shift this energy into a more compassionate state. This doesn't mean we stop caring or championing the causes that stepped firmly into the limelight. Instead, it means we assess how we handled ourselves. It means we take honest inventory about where there were rewards and also failures. We take stock, wisely glean the lessons accordingly, rethinking and revamping our approaches, releasing what sits heavily within us, preparing to level up and launch the next phase in May.”
Read MoreA lot of things have changed- the biggest one being we've got this burgeoning 5 hanging over us, poking and prodding at us, reminding us that we're all damn sick of waiting- and nothing chafes a 5 more than being held back. Like a pea in a tin can, we're rattling around and bouncing off the walls. The lid has been cracked. We can see the light. But the 7 isn't letting us out, not just yet. Meanwhile, we watch the seconds ticking away on the clock, and like the Tell-Tale heart, the sound of its beating is only growing louder and louder.
Read MoreIf you've read any of my earlier posts about the 4 Universal Year, you'll remember I've stated that the stern lessons of the 4 can linger on into the 5 if its homework hasn't been adequately finished. Well, with the 6 Universal Month kicking things off, it's no wonder it's gonna side with its buddy and help make sure our assignments are returned and completed in full. (The 4 and 6 often get along splendidly due to their shared love of stability and conventionality.)
Read MoreThe 5 is the halfway point between the 1 through 9 cycle. It acts as a hinge between the first and second acts of numerology's growing season, which can act as a time of "plot twists." Circumstances might become more unpredictable— will the crops thrive under these uncertain conditions, or will they wither? One crosses their fingers and wishes upon all the stars, in hopes for the luck of the elements to successfully carry its continued growth to full maturity.
We can also think of the 5 transit as the intermission between theater acts. Its energy is antsy and restless. The thrill-seeking 5 doesn't like sitting still unless the presentation is enthralling! If it doesn't get hooked on the show, it will be itching to stretch its legs, get a bathroom break, consume all the lobby concessions, chat with its friends, and scan the room looking for people they might know.
Read MoreWhen proper planning and provisions are in place, the 5 can become less chaotic and a lot more fun! You want to get all the hard work of the 4 well in hand so that you can maximize the thrill-seeking, lust-for-life vibe of the 5 to your best advantage. The 5 screams “Let’s play!” while the 4 calmly yet firmly says “After you do your chores.” Work hard upfront, and you can play hard on the back end- but always, ALWAYS while keeping the responsible 4 in mind. If you don’t, the 4 will push back and playtime will be over. The 4 will become the parent grounding the rebellious 5 teenager, taking away their video games and ordering them to clean their room, where these orders will be inevitably greeted with middle fingers a-blazing. Heels will be dug in, nothing will get done, and there will be more chaos for chaos’s sake. UGH. We don’t need any more of that!
