The 9 Personal Year: What It Means for America

usaHAPPY
NEW
YEAR

AMERICA!

The time has come to welcome all Americans to the country’s new 9 Personal Year cycle. The USA has been asked over the past year within the 8 Personal Year of 2013-14, to take up within the true acts of learning from the experiences, adhering to stability, practicing patience and using their recently acquired wisdom to reap the rewards and the harvest of their previous seven years of effort since 2006.

Saturn’s calling and guidance over the 8 Personal Year brought the nation to a certain sense of slowing down –and while life might be still advancing at lightening speed when it comes to technology- this need for pause asked the nation to recognize what it is meant to be ultimately responsible to. For many across the board, there was some element of simplification that was endured and a returning to tradition implemented. Those who have listened carefully to this call, will find what comes into USA play over 2014-15’s cycle within the next 9 Personal Year, can be responded to all the easier. There is a specific formula to follow now in the months ahead, which undeniably requires that the USA must apply what it has learned through the experiences that the 8 Personal Year unfolded.

2013 to 2014’s call to responsibility is part of all the groundwork planted and woven into the fabric that has been in the making since 04 July 2006, when the country was last in a 1 Personal Year, the beginning mark of this current 9 year span of time.  For the USA, what’s ahead in this year of progress from 2014 to 2015, has everything to do with the deepest sense of quickly clearing what is no longer necessary: in where the release and conclusions require extreme courage to do so. In fact, as we explore the true request of the entire 18 energy governing over 7 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 4  = 18 (1 + 8 =9), we find the Chaldean’s ancient understandings still amazingly apply in this modern day world. If the free will of the USA chooses to adapt to recognizing the spiritual journey verses the indulgence of the material one, the country will soar through the 18/9 Personal Year’s lessons ahead with flying colors.

18 'Spiritual Material Conflict' Linda Goodman's Star Cards

18 ‘Spiritual Material Conflict’ Linda Goodman’s Star Cards

The Chaldeans perceived the 18 as Spiritual Material Conflict, that brings along with it exceptionally strong numerological advice. “18 symbolizes materialism striving to destroy the spiritual side of the nature. It often associates the person or entity represented by it with bitter quarrels within the family circle- with wars, social upheaval, and revolution. In some cases it indicates making money or achieving position through divisive tactics, through war or other conflict. It warns of treachery and deception from both friends and enemies; also danger from the elements, such as fire, flood, earthquakes, tempests and explosions, electrical shock or lightning. The only way to dilute or diminish its effect on the life is by spiritual means, by unfailingly and repeatedly meeting deception and hatred from others with generosity, love, and forgiveness, by turning the other cheek, and returning good for evil, kindness for cruelty, honesty for dishonesty, honor for dishonor. In this way, the vibration 18 may be used for great success in illumination and enlightenment The 18 Personal Year cycle is known as the greatest of all testings of the soul for worthiness.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

As a 9 Personal Year cycle, the energy of the 18 presents both positive and negative energy to choose from, equally depending upon what the free will’s actions of the previous eight have already allowed to fall into place. The promise of making conclusions, seeing finalizations and endings, engaging in universal and philanthropic concerns, reaching victorious and charismatic climaxes are the natural positive results that prefer to unfold in a 9 Personal Year cycle. Equally, as the nation cultivates courage, triumph, impersonal love, generosity and allows for spiritual elevation- it will be on the right track.

The flip side of a 9 Personal Year forewarns of being fully aware and in true understanding to avoid the following outcomes of conflict, intensity, penetration, aggressive action, selfishness, impatience, and oppression to occur. Mars, who is The Pioneer, is the planet that expresses motivation and dynamic change, and it is he who is in charge during this 9 Personal Year cycle. Mars more often than not, asks for actions of surrender, especially if one is in ignorance of what must come to a close. Going against and choosing resistance to Mars’s natural force of climatic conclusions is like running out into oncoming traffic and foolishly believing one will not get hit.

The same adherence to patience- as it was in the nation’s last- is the saving grace when engaged in an 18 Personal Year, as this practice will aide every single step of the way. As the 9 is the natural energy that can express anger, aggression and conflict, undoubtedly a many Americans will find themselves in situations that will test their soul and citizenship for what is really worth. Becoming the warrior will amaze anyone with their free will’s choices, for the warrior does not ever put up a vicious fight, he only simply chooses to stand in truth to courageously defend what is right.

The nation has already seen the preview call to listen up to recognize the value of a patience pace to allow necessary changes to unfold. Looking back at the USA forecast via astrology, the nation was right at the heart of the ‘Grand Cardinal Cross’ which occurred 20 to 23 April 2014. This rare planetary alignment spoke strongly to the nation as it directly conjunct, opposed and double squared its’ natal Sun at 13 degrees Cancer, where it now sees a Solar Return (any birthday!) upon 04 July. As this new foundation asked to transform the country’s approaches to life, find original ways to nurture the home and family life, develop wisdom within relationships, all while motivating change in the nation’s career and public life- now that the 9 Personal Year is here, this new process will accelerate for the USA in dynamic ways.

As we understand the true advice of how a Current Personal Year cycle via numerology coincides and works with the natal chart via astrology; it is where the guiding planet of the Current Personal Year is currently transiting within the natal birth chart that lends more powerful advice as to how to see a bird’s eye view of timing. For the USA, the current transit of Mars in Libra begins it’s 9 Personal Year within the natal 10th house of I Structure, which governs the USA’s career, recognition and public life. By 04 July 2015, when the nation enters the 1 Personal Year -starting another 9 year cycle of time- Mars will have made it three-quarters around the Zodiac to be transiting the sign of Cancer, in the USA’s natal 7th house where I Relate, which governs partnerships and one on one relationships of all kinds.

Within any given Current Personal Year, there is a specific month-to-month breakdown that offers deeper guidance of how the requests of the year ideally will be seen to unravel. Just like our recurring 9 year cycles, the personal months within any given year also follow in the same pattern of 1-9. Cross-referencing back to astrology, as Mars is the planetary focus via astrology’s current transits, these areas of life will equally be highlighted, working side by side with the personal months as the entire 9 Personal Year plays out. These areas of the life will be the timeline of how this year’s cycle of endings and conclusions will naturally unfold for the nation as a whole through 04 July 2015.

SOOOOO fellow Americans, are you ready for fast moving and intense changes in the next twelve months? We offer one final piece of star secrets wisdom for the country’s New Year in 2014. Via Lexigrams -the poetic phrasing of the anagrams that can be derived from any word, name or title to spell out its’ truth- it will be ever so important to practice COURAGE as the perfect antidote for this 9 Personal Year. May all Americans find time for their warrior soul to receive this cycle’s rewards when conflict is not the choice of action for anyone’s free will when standing up for what is right.

Happy Independence Day 2014, Dear American Stars.

The USA’s Request for Courage

So in the USA Today….
We as a nation -presently within our 8 Personal Year, guided by Saturn, who offers a slow and patience pace to the life to learn from the experience- are in that 9 Personal Month, where endings, conclusions, aggressive action and conflict are amongst the current energy field of play. Looking to Mars, the ruler of the 9, within our natal birth chart is just finishing up in the 8th house, (the upper right corner of the wheel, see the red circle with the arrow pointing out), where transformation from the core of the country’s being is on going. Death and rebirth is regenerating away within whatever our understanding is of wealth in the nation.

No surprises here about the government shut-down, today’s shooting and the seemingly pivotal state of affairs that are raising their angry heads for attention. As October continues, Mars moves into our area of foreign affairs and beliefs in the 9th house, so much more is to come about getting these details straight, especially as Mars enters Virgo upon the 15th.

The other turn of events point to Saturn, who is guiding this entire 8 Personal Year and what he’s doing to show us what we need to be ultimately responsible to within this country’s hopes, dreams and wishes as it socializes with the world. Currently in our 11th house, on the upper left side of the natal chart, (he’s the “h” looking brown glyph) and combined with Mercury’s Approach to Retrograde, oh the show is going to get rather interesting here in the weeks to come leading us into December.

October shows us a bit of a preview, as will January of 2014, of what true endings and finalizations will mark 2014-15’s 9 Personal Year for the USA, in where much of what we think we know now will leave us, to make space for a very new state of the nation to emerge in full by 2015-16. In any 9 cycle, it is the calling of courage that will counteract the penetrating energy that it can potentially present. Most certainly, within an 8 Personal Year, the practice of patience here is ultimately necessary.

Keep your hats on folks, this ride will definitely require as my dear colleague and friend Astrologer William Stickevers says, “Better buckle your seatbelts.”

The 8 Personal Year: What It Means For America

usaHAPPY
NEW
YEAR

AMERICA!

The time has come to welcome all Americans to the country’s new 8 Personal Year Cycle. We’ve been asked over the past year within the 7 Personal Year of 2012, to take some necessary time to sharpen the inner saw as a nation, with the grand final of the ongoing Mercury Retrograde in Cancer to send this reflective call home loud and clear. Since 04 July 2012, a routine of sharpening the inner saw and healing was required by the USA to listen to that silent voice within for the answers. As a nation, this time in quiet and retreat wished to prepare us to be ready for the upcoming required work of responsibility. Now entering the 8 Personal Year promises to present the opportunity to Americans to take up within the true act of learning from the experience, adhering to stability, practicing patience and using our recently acquired wisdom to now reap the rewards and the harvest of our previous seven years of effort as 2013’s cycle initiates.

There is a specific formula to follow in a 8 Personal Year which requires that the inner work of the preceding 7 Personal Year has been done. 2012 to 2013’s call to reflective action is part of all the groundwork planted and woven into the fabric that has been in the making since 04 July 2006, when we were back in a 1 Personal Year, the beginning mark of this current 9 year span of time.  For the USA, what’s ahead in this year of progress from 2013 to 2014, has everything to do with the deepest sense of getting into an ambitious, and yes, we’ll keep repeating this over and over again: a patient mind set. In fact, as we explore the true request of the entire 17 The Star of the Magi’s energy governing over 7 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 3  = 17/8, we’ll find the Chaldeans will lend us some fairly accurate advice in their ancient understandings to our entire nation if the free will only chooses to adapt to the practice of Love and Peace.

As the Chaldeans saw the 17 to numerically advise: “This is a highly spiritual number, and was expressed in symbolism by the ancient Chaldeans as the 8 pointed Star of Venus. The Star of the Magi is the image of Love and Peace, and promises that the person or entity. It represents will rise superior in spirit to the trials and difficulties of earlier life, with the ability to conquer former failure in personal relationships and the career. 17 is “the number of Immortality,” and indicates that the person’s (or entity’s) name will live after him. This is an extremely fortunate Compound number, with one warning. It reduces to the Single number 8, so it’s important for anyone with 17 as a Compound Key Number to understand the advice for the 4 and 8 vibrations.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

As a Personal Year Cycle, the 17 will do one or two things depending upon what the free will’s actions of the previous seven have already allowed to fall into place. While, yes the promise of a harvest, recognition, and reward are the natural positive results that prefer to unfold in an 8 Personal Year cycle, if you look at the events that the nation saw unfold with the 16’s The Shattered Citadel, there was a tremendous calling for the USA to wake up and smell the coffee. From what was witnessed between nature’s destruction to human unkindness that asked for anyone to take up in that SILENT LISTEN, the question now is proposed: is the nation ready to tackle all it has to in 2013 to 2014 with the intention and practice of Love and Peace?

Undoubtedly, the months to follow will bring in quite the lessons still needing to be learned, as always is the case in an 8 year, because of Karmic Saturn’s influence over it. Personal Years in the life guided by Saturn are much like having to listen to a father figure. Go against what he says and watch the acts of fate plummet to keep learning from the experience until that wisdom is acquired. What will be fascinating to observe is those who think that nothing has to change as they blindly follow the course of doing things the same way, but still believe they can change the end result they reap. This will be a year that those subscribing to this definition of insanity will come to their knees.

When engaged in a 17 Personal Year, the practice of patience will aide every step of the way. While it may be easier said than done, there is no other choice but to tap into the knowing that Love and Peace can be attained, amongst any hardship Saturn may wish to bring. Remember Saturn is only a hard-core planet when we ignore his requests, and have not done the necessary work in order to receive his stability. Pay attention to his wisdom, and the harvest and reward is more than happy to be reaped.

The singular energy of the 8 equally asks within the 17’s energy to take a good look at the self, and continue to remember to take time in reflection often so that the connections, rewards and legacy are rightfully able to enter the picture. Because of the strong spiritual presence backing up the 17, those based in sole material intentions will not find it to be so gratifying. Through the course of any 8 personal year, recognizing the slow and timely process, makes it worth whatever wait it entails. One way or the other, Saturn’s rewards will be through wisdom, knowing, and remembering how wonderfully slow and steady wins the race. Those who remain in resistance, will attract the lessons then needing to be learned, and soon will discover these are ones they could have otherwise avoided.

Another call to listen up to that recognizes the value of a patience pace to allow proper changes unfold comes into this USA forecast via astrology, as the ‘Uranus – Pluto Square Dance’ continues on for a couple more years. As we have already bared witness to the beginnings of an entire new global foundation in the midst of formulating- this entrance of the USA into the 17/8 Personal Year asks for anyone to recognize their responsibility to truly adapt to those unexpected ways transformation is affecting us. While reform and regeneration continue their call for years, this current Personal Year Cycle of the 8 will not be kind to Americans who refuse to work through what can be a rich harvest when that patience is practiced. Comfort zones will see their fair share of CHALLENGES. It’s up to the free-will whether resistance will be a part of that ALL CHANGES SEE ANGEL ANGLES HEAL, LEAN AS A  SAGE CLEANSE.

Specifically for the USA, the Uranus – Pluto Square Dance affects our 1st and 4th houses on our natal chart- that of our I Am of approaches, first impressions, including the way the world perceives us and within our I Nurture of home, family, and immediate environments that filter through our lives. We aren’t kidding when we have been saying the approach to the comfort zones of American life are in a very heavy place of transformation, and these have been occurring rather unexpectedly. This is the most intense concept to grasp between these two areas, as when squares occur from above they do mean responsibility to soul business to them down here below.

It won’t be until February 2015, when the USA will then be in the 9’s Personal Year request of ultimate finalizations and endings on the home front of this Current 9 Year Cycle which began in 2006, that the truest test of our on going Uranus – Pluto Square Dance will bellow its call. By this time, at the 14 degree of Aries and Capricorn, directly opposing and squaring our nations Saturn at 14 degrees Libra in our house of I Structure, that of the career and public life. Undoubtedly, the face of how we work, are viewed by the world, live in our habitats, feel secure, nurture our environments and take it all in will have seen altercations like never before in history, and very permanent ones.

So, back to that soul business we mentioned. In order to be ultimately prepared throughout the remainder of the Uranus – Pluto Square Dance, we as a nation can successfully prevail. It will be the attainment of the very inherent reminder of our now 17 Personal Year promises the result of Love and Peace, but this comes by slowing things down, taking pause, and being ever vigilant to not looking at the call for change as punishment, but a necessary part of how we are all here to embrace what it really means to EVOLVE through the habit of LOVE. Those who especially abuse authority, positions of power, and engage in greed- will find these to be the hardest lessons to survive.

One more point to note when understanding the true advice of how a Current Personal Year Cycle coincides with that of the natal chart. Where the guiding planet of the numerological year is currently transiting within the birth chart leans more advice to how to make the most of it. For the USA, the 8’s Saturn is presently within the natal 11th house of I Socialize that which governs friendships, groups, organizations, hopes, dreams and wishes. Our recognition here within what we are associated with will be thoroughly examined for its’ authenticity under the 17 Personal Year in order to receive any rewards. Even via the collective take for the USA, it is the 5th house of what I Create that seeks more attention that wishes to be accountable for when it comes to the country’s creative abilities, especially those relating to our very own children.  With the critical detachment from inspiration within our country’s public education system, it is our children who are suffering, as the illiteracy rate is the highest it’s been in years. This call to responsibility screams for a stable solution to be implemented.

So Fellow Americans, are you ready? We offer one final piece of star secrets wisdom for our country’s New Year in 2013. Via Lexigrams -the poetic phrasing of the anagrams that can be derived from any word, name or title to spell out its’ truth- aside from that ever so important request of the SILENT LISTEN, let us all find the time for our soul in some scheduled Saturn proven practices to receive our rewards.
