June, 2010: Living through the 2

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
~Dalai lama

The purpose of our lives is to evolve toward fulfilment. We are here in this world to achieve our spiritual potential; to literally become God-like. The course of self-transformation, however, is not something that happens on an abstract level. It takes place between ourselves and the people around us.

Our relationships (regardless of the connection) are our opportunities to learn, apply and teach tolerance, sharing, and love: all that is our Creator’s essence. These are among the highest of qualities we need in order to fulfil the true purpose of our existence.

In the words of the Dalai lama:

Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquillity and happiness we all seek.

Welcome to June!

…and allow me to introduce you to a heightened view of the number 2.

Empathy, cooperation, consideration, compassion, mediation, understanding, generosity, kindness, balance, partnership… these are but few of the traits the 2 possesses.

Regardless of whether we personally have any predominant 2’s in our charts, these are characteristics that we should fold into our essence. Why wouldn’t we want to?

In order to achieve the tranquillity and happiness, as addressed by the Dalai lama, the 2 commands us to adopt the following principles:

Balance the male and female aspects within. Act with understanding and compassion.

What is the big mystery of the male and female sides? Why do we need to be so aware of this? What is the significance of acknowledging and aligning these qualities?

The answers are simple.

As one person we need to be in constant balance to be able to achieve the best of our world: mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Both sides, the male and the female, have to arrive at a harmonious whole. It is this alignment that causes us to feel whole.

The male side is linked to our lucidity, logic, linear thinking and understanding: it imparts the essence of knowledge. The female side is connected to feelings, nurturing, compassion and awareness: it imparts the essence of wisdom. Each of us have the capacity for the emotional and the mental facilities. Very few people, however, develop both equally; because very few people are even aware of the imbalance to begin with.

This is where we call on the aspect of 1 that we learned previously:

Know who you are and move through this world with confidence and a keen sense of self-awareness.

Ask yourself whether you lean toward the male or female mode of thought, expression and response. Then ask yourself how you can integrate its counterpart.

Through developing and calling on both positions to make our choices, before we act and/or react, we will intrinsically discover that we have arrived at the place of understanding and compassion; of both learned knowledge and applied wisdom.

That is the brilliance of the number 2, and why those who have this number predominantly in their charts make for brilliant partners, counsellors, advisors and mediators…

*Most 2’s are innately balanced in the aspect of logic and emotion. Their male force directs them to a higher level of understanding. Their female force directs them to a higher level of compassion.

But the blessed 2’s among us didn’t quite corner the market on these qualities. They are there for all of us to learn from and share with one another.

Perhaps this is why the Dalai lama said: ‘Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquillity and happiness we all seek.’

Wishing you each happiness in abundance,

*It has been noted in study that when we experience blockages or imbalances in our male/female aspects, the consequence can be harmful, even severe. It is believed that manic depression can present when the right and left energies are out of balance. When fixated on the right hemisphere (the male side), the body weakens, becomes thin, and heart issues may ensue. When fixated on the left hemisphere (the female side), one may become lethargic, over weight and easily depressed. The physical source of these energies is the perineum in the male and the vulva in the female. The male energy can be manic, whereas the female energy leans toward depression.

May, 2010: Living through the 1

One of the things I am most inspired by is the connection of message in our universe. There are two noteworthy orders I have studied and become particularly motivated by: the first is the teachings and philosophies of Pythagoras, the Father of Western Numerology.

This you are all already well aware of, I’m sure.

The second is that of Taoism, and the recorded ‘Tao Te Ching’. I have spoke little of Chinese Philosopher, Tao Tzu through reference and quotes. I’d like very much to expand on a significant Taoist principle - for it is, in deed, entirely similar to one of the profound laws of Pythagorean ideal.

Again, here are two distinct policies, seemingly without connection. Pythagoras was a Greek Philosopher of 500 BC. It is believed that he studied in India and Egypt. And Tao Tzu was a Chinese Philosopher of 6th century BC. He did not study in Greece, India or Egypt, as far as anyone knows. And, yet, they carry such a similar view, it is difficult not to support the integrity of their message.

The core means of achieving stillness and understanding was the Tao: a term meaning 'the way' or 'the path.' One of the translations of Te is to mean ‘virtue’, and Ching refers to the laws of nature. In short, Tao Te Ching is directly deciphered as “The Canon of Virtue and it's Way”. The Tao was the most important mystical expression of the Lao Tzu and the Taoists; an enigmatic source for all things.

Taoism, much like the teachings of Pythagoras, edifies that avoiding or strategizing how to overcome obstacles is completely counter-productive. Instead, it is absolutely vital that we discern and follow the natural flow of life circumstances and to react with appreciation and thought. It is only through this process that we can advance our personal enlightenment, and achieve a true sense of inner-peace and balance.

In other words: happiness is not to be without challenge or strife. Happiness is embracing these aspects of human existence and allowing their lessons to shape our inner-strength and awareness.

To succeed this way of thought may appear a lengthy and daunting journey… but it’s not. It all begins with respecting the first principle of numerological influence:

1: know who you are and move through this world with confidence and a keen sense of self-awareness.

Welcome to May, my friends!

Allow me to introduce you to the brilliant number 1.

There is a certain deception regarding this number, and it’s influence. It does not mean the “first”, it simply means The Beginning. There is something that exists before the beginning, and it’s this very standard that is often overlooked. That disregarded feature would be… The Idea. Beginning cannot exist without something to breathe life into it.

What is your idea?

In accordance with Taoist practices, it is not value-added to make a plan. From this moment just embrace where you’ve been and allow the natural order to take shape as you move forward. Know that whatever appears on your path is not negative or positive in nature. Only your reactions and responses are negative or positive. Choose at this moment which attitude you’ll carry with you.

In accordance with Numerological practices, we must embrace all numerical aspects in order to achieve balance, contentment and success. To begin, it is essential to fold the qualities of 1 into our metaphoric coffer of fortitude. These intrinsic values are:

Creative thought, independence, originality, a strong ego, a sense of self

The Number One is the opening development of self. It is knowing where we came from and appreciating that which has led us to this place. It is using creative thought to regard our path, this far, with a different view. It is using that same will to embark on a new path. It is reflecting on our skills and talents and acknowledging how we can use them to best serve our purpose. Without that sense of ego or identity we would feel displaced, lacking the confidence to move forward as an individual. The 1 reminds us to stand tall and to honour our convictions regardless of retribution. The 1 commands us to move forward with care, compassion and tact.

As Pythagoras said: No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself.

And I am saying… On Life’s Path, happiness cannot be attained without knowing and valuing your divine potential and purpose.

Take a deep breath. Know that you are exactly where you are meant to be. This world was made for you. And, yes, there is much work to be done. But, there is also much to celebrate as you do it. I promise.

With light & love,
Christine Rossini

April, 2010: Know Thyself

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
~Pythagoras

Pythagoras (approximately 569 BCE - 475 BCE, ) was an Ionian mathematician and philosopher. Today, he is best known as the Father of Western Numerology and for the Pythagorean theorem, that bears his name.

Pythagoras made powerful contributions to both philosophy and religious teachings in the late 6th century BC. Pythagoras believed that everything was linked to mathematics. He theorized that everything could be calculated and predicted through patterns and cycles. The Pythagorean system, is among the most continuing and accepted of all self-improvement methods ever shaped. And, I’ve little doubt, that knowing the impact his life has imparted warms his spirit immensely.

I’m sure Pythagoras would agree: our evolutionary path begins with…

Know thyself.

It's such a simple statement - but the impact it carries is absolute and all encompassing. Knowing who you are and seeing yourself - your strengths and weaknesses - with candid, honest eyes, is the greatest clue for your purpose, your screaming potential and, ultimately, your life mission.

The skills we possess, the issues that motivate and challenge us, the perpetual cycles we experience, the types of people we attract, the values we hold dearest and aim to live up to... these are the clues that we must look to when questioning what gifts we bring to this world. Just as an artist can put pencil to paper and sketch out the most awe-inspiring image, I'm a life path intuit and am able to look at the numerical patterns in our name and birth date and see a portrait or chart. I've long since stopped questioning how it is that I can do that. I'm more interested in figuring out how I can teach you to do what I can do… to know what I know… to see yourself as I see you…

Above all things… please reverence thyself. You are an incredible and wondrous spirit. Welcome to April! And a very Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.

My veneration for Numerology transcends my understanding of each number and the code or message that’s extended through its patterns. It’s the message that inspires me. It prompts me to view the world and its occupants in a very different light. It motivates me to seek greater awareness and to find evidence to support my faith.

I know what it is to be unhappy. I know what it is to find moments of happiness. I know what it is to be surrounded by darkness and confusion, and I know what it is to have moments of absolute clarity. I am just like you; subject to error, imperfections and weariness - and I reach out for knowledge and reason to bring order to my cluttered thoughts. I am human, and though it can be entirely discouraging at times: I am so very thankful, deep down, that I am on this journey, that we are all on this journey, and that God has made provision that we come together to gather lesson and succeed our mission together.

It was exactly one year ago that I sent my first newsletter. Did you know that? I actually started my monthly diatribe without forced direction. Each month a wrote based on whatever form of inspiration came to me in that moment. I let the natural order and influence take on its own course and I followed it trusting it would lead me somewhere solid.

This is more than an anniversary for me. It is a perfect circle.

For those of you who were with me a year ago (quite literally that would be 1/10th of you) you may recall my message, then.

If you need a refresher, please visit: http://www.lifepath.webs.com/The_Fool.jpg

This is a new beginning. This time my direction is clear. And thank you to the spirit of Pythagoras, once again, for helping me. For helping all of us. The recipe for happiness dwells within the numbers, my friends. I have said this many times, but now I think I’ve found the code. But first…

Did you know that one of the doctrines Pythagoras taught and supported was the equality for women? Yes. He believed that we were all equal and that each sex brought a balancing element to the universe. It is also believed that eventually his school (that taught this supposition) was burned down, and that he died in that fire. It appears that his views were not entirely accepted or appreciated… or perhaps the truth imparted in his views were feared for the power of suggestion.

With Pythagoras in mind, I’ve decided that the newest addition to the On Life’s Path site would make its breakout début this Mother’s Day: in honour of the first woman I knew on earth… my mommy.

The message for my new site is:

Don’t look to the future for what promise it holds; rather look within and make yourself a promise. For we are our destiny, the writers of our own fate.

Please join me in this new journey and invite others to share in the experience. An empty book lays before us and we can write a new story. Let’s bring life to Pythagoras’s vision: happiness is not unattainable. It starts with knowing ourselves, by revering ourselves, by understanding others and sharing our light.

The true mark of such mastery is embracing all of the numbers and adopting their influence as we journey and evolve.

1: know who you are and move through this world with confidence and a keen sense of self-awareness.

2: balance the male and female aspects within. Act with understanding and compassion.

3: express who you are, say how you feel and take the time to offer a smile to stranger.

4. reserve emotion when making the hard choice and allow logic to guide you.

5. appreciate challenge as an opportunity to change old patterns and to expand in your growth.

6. nurture the child within, and build strong and healthy relationships.

7. seek out knowledge, wisdom and truth. Share what you learn.

8. respect who you are, and move with purpose and direction. Feel a keen sense of inner power and don't allow others to steal your power from you.

9. on life's path allow your innate talents to shine; but do not forget to lift other's along the course.

Each OLP newsletter from hereafter will explore these principals in greater depth.

What is the secret of happiness?

It's embracing every one of these qualities.

Remember, we are our destiny and the writer of our fate. Yes, we are who we are. We each came here with a plan and select skill-set. The trick is to acknowledge that, in the book of life, the margin of our potential is absolute and ever-expanding.

Perhaps this is why Pythagoras said: Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.

Welcome to November!

November’s influence is two-fold and ruled under the charge of two of the most powerful and inspiring numbers: the 9 and the 11.

The name of the month November derives from the Roman word 'novem' (meaning nine), because it was once the ninth month in the Roman calendar.

The power and mystical symbolism of 9:

• 9 is a Square Number(3x3).
• 9 is the maximum number of cubes that are needed to sum to any positive integer.
• When 9 is multiplied by any number, the sum of the digits in the outcome is equal to 9. Example: 9 x 3 = 27. 2 + 7 = 9.
• The nine Choruses of the Angels: Seraphes, angels of love and light; Cherubs, angels of wisdom and intelligence; Thrones, angels of force and life; Dominations, angels of liberty; Principalities, angels of eternity and memory; Powers, angels of holiness; Virtues, angels of humility; Archangels, having for attribute the justice; Ordinary angels, to which we attribute the innocence.
• Grammatically, language includes nine parts: the verb, the noun, the adjective, the participle, the conjunction, the article, the pronoun, the preposition and the adverb - interjection apart.
• The nine was the key number of teaching for the materialistic Hindu philosophers in the Vaiceshika school.
• The nine openings in a male Human body according to Islam.
  The Nine Noble Virtues were originally written for "A Book of Troth" by Edred Thorsson (one of the earliest modern texts available on the religion of Asatru)
• The Odinic Rite lists the 9 Noble Virtues as Courage, Truth, Honour, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, and Perseverance.
• Saint Paul lists the nine fruits of the Spirit to be: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Ga 5,22)
• The 9 animals that make up a Chinese Dragon: the head of a camel, the eyes of a hare, the ears of a cow, the horns are the antlers of a stag, the neck of a snake, the belly of a clam, the feet of a tiger, claws of an eagle, and 117 scales of a carp (1+1+7=9)

In our current calendar, November is designated as the 11th month.

The power and mystical symbolism of 11:

• 11 can be Partitioned in 56 ways (5+6=11)
• Half of the first 64 Partition numbers are divisible by 11.
• 11 is the largest known multiplicative persistence.
• 11 is the maximal number of regions into which 4 lines divide a plane.
• The sun spot cycle repeats about every 11 years.
• The eleven groups of kindnesses in Buddhism: a man entered the Way, the two Truths, the three Gates of Delivery, the four Truths of the correct Law, the five faculties, the six Authorities, the seven Members of the Illumination, the eight Members of the Path, the nine Residences of the Being, the ten Forces of the Realized and the eleven Deliverances of the Heart full of love.
• The number 9 energy is most often linked to tolerance, generosity, forgiveness, passion, creative energy, innate talent, success, romance, benevolence, and a deep love of life.
  9 is one of the most spiritual numbers. It's strongly related to prophesy, intuition, psychic flashes, clairvoyance, and innate wisdom.
• Many analysts also note that there is a certain sense of "finality" associated with the 9 because it’s the largest and last digit. This is specifically obvious in its repdigit form, 999.
  Jesus often used numbers in his parables. His use of 9 (or a repdigit of 9) is no exception: ‘How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?’
• Likewise, He used 9 (= 10-1) in Luke 17:17: ‘And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?’

For Jim, a brilliant man whom I’ve met through Facebook, I also give you the following example of numerical connection in biblical context:

The 9th Commandment
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

The opening verse of Romans 9:
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Romans 9:1-2

I think it to be of significance that the 9th commandment is exercised in the opening verse of Romans 9. Further to that, the reference of "continual sorrow" also happens to be well-known in the Roman Catholic perception of 9 and its clear relation to prayer:

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
Acts 3:1

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Acts 10:30

It is twice in Book of Acts that the "ninth hour" is associated with prayer, and in both these cases you will note that the verse indices are a combination of 1 and 3: Acts 3:1 and Acts 10:30

1030 is the value of the word “entuxis”, meaning ‘intercessory prayer‘
1030 is twice the value of “tiphlah”, the Hebrew word for prayer
515, the value of the word “tiphlah”, is also biblically linked to James
James 5:15 is the famous verse regarding the "prayer of faith"

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
James 5:15

Coincidence?

5:15
5+5+1 = 11

The spiritual meaning of number eleven is quite wide-spread and, yet, distinct. The number 11 is thought of as a "master" number in numerology because it’s a double digit of the same number. As you will see below, it is also the exact vibrational sum of Jesus’s name.

J E S U S
1 5 1 3 1 = 11

11 represents: higher ideals, invention, refinement, harmony, balance, fulfilment and vision. It’s not uncommon for 11 to present in constant reoccurrences (example: looking at the clock at exactly 11:11 repetitiously). When this happens it reminds us that we need to be more aware of situations in our life and that we need find an order of balance.

The 9 may be viewed through the dual nature of ending and infinity; whereas, 11 is the symbol of our unyielding and evolutionary journey.

The most remarkable link to both 9 and 11 that I’ve personally discovered?

It also happens to be the numbers in my birth date: The 9th day of the 11th month.

Okay, perhaps that last point is a little over-stated, nonetheless, it might provide you each an insight on me; and just why it means so much that I share with you what I know:

We are not without a map to our Life Path, nor do we walk alone. There really are sign-posts and clues everywhere. I’m so humbled and honoured to be able to help you see that. Because I wish to see you all prosper in 2010, I present you each an exclusive gift (not offered on my site)… Book a Psychic Party between now and New Years and not only will your reading be free, but you will also receive a Gift Certificate entitling you to a 45 minute reading, which can be used at any point in the future. You’re welcome to use this gift for yourself or to offer it as a gift to someone else.

On Life's Path... we are not without a map, nor do we walk alone.: Happy Thanksgiving!

On Life's Path... we are not without a map, nor do we walk alone.: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A warm and tender Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends. And to those of you who join me from other countries (a big shout out to my new friend in India!), I include you all because you are a big part of my Thanksgiving this year. I am thankful that our paths have crossed. You are a part of my spiritual garden and I am ever thankful for that.

The History and Origin of the Canadian Thanksgiving

In Canada, the history of Thanksgiving goes as far back as 1578 when the English explorer, Martin Frobisher (who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient), arrived in the Canadian province now known as Newfoundland. He established a settlement and held a ceremony to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered to be the first Canadian Thanksgiving; and when other settlers arrived, they continued these ceremonies of thanks.

Around that same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean, arriving in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held great feasts of thanks. They went on to form 'The Order of Good Cheer', sharing their food with their new Indian neighbours.

In 1763, after the Seven Year's War ended, the people of Halifax held a special day of Thanksgiving.

November 6th was the original ‘national holiday’ of Canadian Thanksgiving (in 1879). Over the years that date has changed many times. The most popular was the 3rd Monday in October. There was even a time, after World War I, that both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving were celebrated on the same day: the Monday of the week in which November 11th fell. It was in 1931, however, that the two days became separate holidays and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day.

Finally, on January 31st, 1957, Parliament decreed "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed…” to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.

And here we are today.

A Continued Tradition of Thanksgiving

If our lives were a garden, how plentiful would they be?

The metaphoric seeds that have been planted, have germinated, have taken root and have cultivated, ever reaching toward our evolutionary intent. Give thanks for the harvest of our good deeds, for the good deed of others, for our own spiritual harvest.

God did not make the garden. He made the earth in which it grows. He created the seeds that are planted, He shines light upon it, rain upon it, and He provides an assortment of nutrients to ensure their healthy growth. But… we till the soil, we must nurture the seeds that are planted, we must protect and care for what we are growing. And if we hoard the harvest... there’s a very good chance that we’ll never consume all that it yields. The surplus will rot and it will spoil. And that is how we are meant to work with God.

How do we give thanks to Our Creator? We use all that He has supplied us, we grow our gardens well, and we share what we have harvested with our neighbours and friends alike.

This Thanksgiving let us not only give thanks for what we have; but thanks for what we have to share.

Quotes of Thanksgiving Through History

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~ W.T. Purkiser

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world. ~William Shakespeare

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. ~E. E. Cummings

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. ~Ralph Marston

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is 'thank you', it will be enough. ~Meister Eckhart

I leave you with no affirmations of thanks, for I know that you each have already validated them in your lives, through how you live. You each are a testament to the fact that there is, in deed, beauty in this world.

May the harvest of your existence be plentiful and unyielding.

With Love & Blessings,

A warm and wondrous welcome to September, my friends!

I’d like to take a moment and step out of my monthly diatribe, to welcome the new additions to this mailing list. August has been a month of brilliant correspondence and suggestions - and I feel blessed to find myself in this place. It just goes to show that the world is truly filled with incredible people: sometimes you just need to know where to look. How fortunate am I that I needn’t look much further than my e-mail contact list? Thanks to each and every one of you for inviting me into your lives, for reciprocating the faith I have in you; for walking with me… On Life’s Path.

There is a certain affinity and appreciation I have for the month of September. As a Numerologist I am humbled by the majesty of our World’s Design. We are not without a map to our Life Path. We are not alone, wandering blind. There are signposts and clues everywhere. And they all connect so seamlessly I'm in awe of our Maker’s Brilliance. He knew the challenges we would face. And He provided for us, that we might succeed our personal mission. Our chart is a pattern. Coincidence is but a key, unlocking the code of that pattern. The pattern is not the design. The pattern is how we are intended to improve the design.

We are not to meant to know everything we’re destined to face. But, we can learn how to work through our challenges with less impact. We can learn how to recognize our blessings, even when we don‘t feel very blessed. And we can learn to be greater than the sum of our design.But, what does that have to do with September?

Everything.

September is the last month of the third quarter. It is the ninth month, the end of a cycle. It is the month that shares the numerical influence of the personal year. It is the absolute and most significant month of the year!

It is the month of reflection, found insight, applied skill and shared knowledge.

The impact of September can be likened to a double-edged sword. For all the good that the year’s influence has imparted, so are the benefits felt more strongly here. For all the lessons gone unlearned or signposts gone unseen… this is the month where you have the opportunity to make up for what you thought was lost. Because: opportunity is NEVER lost. It starts with taking a moment to evaluate the eight months passed.

What did you set out to accomplish this year? Did you do everything you could to succeed that vision? What more could you have done?

Good news!!

There is still three more months ahead of you to realize that vision! Reflection is NOT best saved to the end of the experience. This is YOUR year! You still have now and you still have the days ahead!

God bless September!!!

This month can either be the most difficult month of the year or it can be the most rewarding. Which course would you like to set? It is your call. Destiny is not made. We make it as we move; with each and every step, choice, action and reaction. We ARE our destiny. We have a job to do and an obligation to reflect with honest eyes, to accept the insight our spirits reveal, to put into action what we know we must do: to shed light on the path ahead for us and for our neighbours.

Welcome to September, in deed!

And just to share a glimpse with you of what it is I see when I evaluate this World:

Little Keys…

September. Astrological influence: Virgo

One of the aspects that most find difficult to understand about our Virgo friends: they are honest and reflective. They are hard on their selves and settle for nothing less than perfection. They are accused of being workaholics; but that’s only because they work very hard and they won’t settle for being less that what they know they are. They have a keen sense of understanding. Their analytical (and often, literal) mind doesn’t see things the way we common folk do. They see a task at hand, they analyse it, they find a way to perfect or succeed it, then they apply their skill. They are the Master Teachers of their trade. For nothing they do, they do in vain. The perfect motto for a Virgo would be: I serve.

September. Numerical influence: Nine

Unlike the personal influence of 9 in our birth name or date, the influence of nine on a cosmic level is slightly different. It is the time to analyse what you have, what you need and what you don’t. What you have learned, what lessons have you applied, or what should you have done instead? It is the absolute essence of contemplation, deliberation and introspection. Who adds to your life and who takes away? This is the year of epiphany; to take what you’ve learned and to use this knowledge to set a new course. There are many good byes in the year of the Nine. And that which stays… there is still much to teach and much to learn from.

September. Tarot Influence: The Hermit

The Hermit isn’t what it sounds like or what it appears to be at all. The Hermit does not hide or pull away to wallow in seclusion - though this may well be what the Hermit would rather do. No… the Hermit is too analytical to not find the solution to the problem. He reminds us that all the answers to our struggles are right before us. We just need to still our mind and look up. The Hermit says that it’s okay to ask for help, but this really is a problem you must work out for yourself. You need to take the insight and skill you’ve gathered and mastered, and you need to set your own course. It’s a test of resolve. The Hermit reminds us that we must stop, wake up, see ourselves with honest eyes, move forward, work hard; and - most importantly - the Hermit carries a torch. That is to remind us to teach others what we’ve learned along the course. What is a brilliant star, if its light is hoarded in vain?

Do you see a theme here?

They each impart the same message: reflect, learn, conquer, teach. And I could continue with other examples, but I‘d hate to take up any more of your time... The point is: this isn’t a coincidence at all. It’s a key. And when you unlock the code the message is clear:

September is God’s gift to you.

Affirmations for the month:

• I see where I have been. I am grateful for where I am.
• The next step I take is on the path of where I want and need to be.
• Today I will accomplish one task to further my evolutionary path.
• Today I will do something for me: I will make someone else smile.

most importantly: take pleasure in this singular moment On Life’s Path. Please.
