2004 from the view of Tarot
6 "The Lovers"
The Principle of Art and Craft of Relationship
The Journey of the Twins
The Lovers archetype represents the universal principle of the art and craft of relationship. Everything upon this symbol is paired. Search for the capacity to inspire others, like the Lovers in their capacity to inspire and motivate people of all ages and all generations, pictured by the children, the couple, the older people, the younger people on the symbol.
In this year you need to built up the ability to work well with persons on a one-to-one basis, as well to work with people in groups.
This is the most peopled card in the entire Tarot card deck, and teaches persons the art and craft of relating, either to ideas, creative projects or to human beings. You will be asked of establishing relationship lines and perceiving what's working and what's not working in relationships. It is a matter of choice-making, especially weighing choices either between two situations, two issues, two people, or choices in how to bring two situations, two people or two issues together in order to create a greater whole.
This symbol of the Lovers represents Buckminister Fuller's concept of the synergetic principle, which was that two or more parts that came together would create something greater than the two parts that initially came together. Basically, in the Lovers year, you should focus on synthesizing, integrating polarities, oppositions and paradoxes.
Put together new ideas, situations, issues or people that other people had not readily thought of as workable. Gain the insight or perception to see what's workable and what's not workable as far as relationship lines are concerned on a one-to-one basis, or in group situations.
It is important at different times that you give yourself space, like the Hermit, to integrate your experience, and not to be so people-oriented. This phase will be much more targeted to the Hermit figure that is on this card, which is associated with contemplation, introspection and needs for emotional space and psychological space.
2004 from the view of Numerology
In the numerology the 6 is represented by two triangles. One is pointing up and the other one is pointing down.
If you move them into each other you have created the "hexagram".
Both symbols, fire and water, emblematize yin and yang, man and woman, body and soul, soul and spirit, as well as air and earth. The interpretation of these triangles couldn't be more different, yet merged together they create a greater whole.
To utilize the power of creation it is imperative to balance male and female energies. This is the main task of the year 2004, overshadowing all other personal tasks.
What energy carries January 2004
January 2004 is associated with the energy of the number 7.
In the Tarot the number 7 is represented by the card "The Chariot" or "The Principle of Change/Transcendence". While the complete year 2004 requires balance between the female and male energies, the month January can teach us about completing one thing and preparing for the next step. Some things need to be finished, a development circle comes to an end, and a new process needs to be started. The 7 is called a "cosmic number" as well as "holy number", and is also associated with "cosmic consciousness" - here it is a reminder for us, that every change takes its time. A week has 7 days, a wound heals in 7 days, or bodies are fully changed every 7 years - this month's energy tells us to finish (eventually to let go) an old task with the right amount of patience and consistancy, and at the same time to get ready for the next step.
Something to smile
Spirit's jokes with me.
The biggest laughs I have had in my life are aimed at myself. So, too, this month.
I was cutting my bangs, very artistically, and, I felt, very unprofessionally. Here a little bit more and there a little bit more, until my face was covered with all these hair tips.
Of course, so as a hundred times before, I got some hair tips in my eyes. I shook my head, wiped my eyes, and thought: Everything is fine now.
The entire day I felt something in my left eye. By the end of the day, my eye was so red that it almost scared me.
Immediately I asked myself, "What is the message here, the spiritual meaning?"
I couldn't find an answer. So I went to bed and my last thought was, "Tomorrow everything will be all right. Everything is fine. Everything is just fine."
Sunday morning. I looked into the mirror and was pretty disappointed. My left eye was bright red. It looked so NOT all right! I was still thinking I could deal with the situation by myself. So, I bought saline solution and a soothing ointment.
While I was doing my daily business, I reminded myself of something I knew for sure:
The left eye is associated with the right side of the brain, meaning spiritual matters and intuition.
What was Spirit showing me that I couldnt see?
What am I supposed to look at?
What have I overlooked that Spirit needs to show me in this disturbing way?
The time passed, and the eye became worse. I couldn't find any answers to my questions.
I silently did positive affirmations, and I reminded myself that my body has the most incredible self-healing power. I just needed to find the "right button" of understanding to activate that power.
Monday morning. The eye didn't look good at all. Actually, it was worse. I began to doubt my own spirituality. I had dealt with more complicated situations than this, so why couldn't I heal myself in this simple case?
What, what and what was I overlooking?
In the kitchen, I joked with my husband. I told him I was aware of the saying, "First take the timber out of your own eye before you remove the splinter in someone else's eye." We had a great laugh, but I still couldn't apply my knowledge to my own situation.
WHAT splinter was I trying to remove from WHO's eye?
After that, my dear husband took action. Even though he knows how I feel about traditional medical doctors, he made an appointment for me.
I had to leave the house immediately. Ten minutes later I arrived, filled out the paper work, met a wonderful woman in the waiting room who taught me how to do "tatting" needle work, and right after that I was called in to see the doctor.
Everything went smooth and easy. I was happily amazed as I observed and appreciated this process.
My eyes were checked. I received lots of information I didn't ask for. Eye sight: excellent. Eye pressure: excellent. Reflexes: excellent. And last but not least, the doctor found the little hair tip stuck in my eyelid, pulled it out and sent me home with some soothing ointment.
Now, THAT was easy after all! Guess I could have had this release a little bit earlier.
And the moral of the tale?
Yes, I can remove a cancerous growth in my throat with a positive mind set and the acceptance of my own healing powers. Yes, I can heal a double fracture on my leg within five weeks (even though the doctors said it would take sixteen weeks, plus several more of rehabilitation training). I am the living proof for increbible self-healing powers.
. . . But sometimes all it takes is to ask for HELP!
Excuse me. I am still laughing at myself... :-)
Love and Light in Oneness,
