2015 is ruled by the vibration of the Universal Number Eight.  Eight governs money, power, leadership, strength, the sexual principle, justice, manifesting and mastery of all life skills.  It also relates to large corporations, institutions, heads of state and the branches and functions of government.  Expect all of these to be in the news in one way or another this coming year.

This last months of 2014 brought us two interesting events that demonstrate the transitional  vibration of our Universal Seven Year just past merging with the energies of the Universal Eight Year that we will be transiting.

Remember last year in my forecast I spoke of internet security issues being at the forefront during the year.  (The Target security breach debacle had already occurred.)  Near the end of the year we always have events which set the trend for the forthcoming year.  This December past we were alerted to the massive data breach suffered by Sony Pictures Corporation, allegedly due to politically motivated perpetrators from North Korea.  At the time of this writing, the event is now apparently evoking dialog between the United States and North Korean governments.

Do you see the connection?  The hacked data (Seven Year origin) motivates government conflicts over issues concerning a major corporation (Eight Year issues).

Why did Bill Cosby’s image not get tarnished until now?

For years, actor and comedian Bill Cosby has been lauded for his humor and family values.  Suddenly, his image is attacked by a number of women who accuse him of being a sexual predator.  What happened?  Why now?

Remember, our Seven year encouraged “things coming to light” – and thus woman suddenly began speaking up about their experiences with him that they had kept buried for years.  (The recently published biography of his life likely made him more of a public target.)  Now we are going into our Eight year which (see above) deals with the sexual principle and justice.  Eight also mandates balance between male and female energies.  So here we have issues of alleged sexual misconduct with (to date) 21 women seeking justice and atonement for what they allege were forceful sexual violations.

(NOTE:  Bill Cosby was transiting his Eight Personal Year in 2014 at the level of 26 which shows that relationships and issues of personal power would be in the forefront for his year.  Now he’s going into his Nine Personal Year which indicates tests of character related to past actions.)

With the fallout from the Target and other security breaches in major corporations and Bill Cosby’s alleged transgressions, we are seeing that 2015 appears to be a year that will keep those in the legal field and in the justice system busier than usual.  Eight, however, favors justice, so we can count on fair outcomes prevailing.  


Does Oprah do Tarot cards?

I had to laugh with glee when I saw the cover of “O” Magazine for January 2015 depicting Oprah posing with a lion and the caption, “Brave New You.”  As if this doesn’t capture what the potential of an Eight Year can be for all of us, Oprah posing with a lion duplicates the illustration often found on various versions of the Number Eight Tarot card labeled “STRENGTH”  -- that of a woman and a lion side by side in harmony.  Essentially, the card illustrates balance of male and female energies.  Its message is that while Eight is often equated with masculine strength and leadership, the energy is off-balance unless there is an equivalent amount of female gentle, receptive and meditative characteristics "taming" the beast so to speak.

So – what do you say, Oprah?  Are you inspired by Tarot cards?  If so, as far as I personally am concerned, more power to you!


While it can be entertaining to speculate on the big picture of our coming year, the truth of the matter is that each one of us is contributing to that based on how we are conducting our own lives.  The more positive and ethical each one of us is, the more we collectively contribute to the events of the world at large.  So – the questions is:  How can you use the vibration of this Eight Universal year to contribute to your own well being and make this a good year for you to experience?

My answer:

Be fair and just In your dealings with others. (Always good advice!)  It can also be an especially opportune year to seek justice for any wrongdoing initiated against you.

This is an especially powerful year to hone your skills in manifesting your dreams.  Eight is considered a karmic number of harvest.  If you have done the work to realize your goals, the odds are increased that success will be yours.  Remember that Eight, the number of strength, requires effort in order for favorable outcomes to result.

Eight is the number of money.  Therefore, financial matters will be especially important for us all with prudence and good judgment holding you in good stead in financial strategies.  This is not a year for risk-taking.

As Eight is the number of balance, making sure that you achieve a balance of work and play will make you more productive in the long run.  Eight’s energies encourage us to be more work and career oriented than usual – but ultimately, even if you are blessed to love the work that you do, taking time to regroup and recharge your energies periodically will  add dividends to your quality of life.

In summary, go forward with strength and courage and reap the blessings  of your dreams manifesting.  (You will find more even more clarity and insights when you are aware of the instructions of your Personal Year Number.  My Divine Life Calendar will give you the details.  Click HERE.)

As I’ve noted at the beginning of each monthly forecast this past year,  2014 was ruled by the Number Seven.  Seven as a Universal Year Number focuses on divine revelations, truth revealed, healing and convalescence, preparation for change, the power of mind and intuition. 

In addition to the categories I mentioned above, Seven represents the world of the “unseen”, other realms and dimensions and riddles or mysteries to be researched or solved.  Seven can also motivate us to seek answers from a spiritual source.   Now that we have traveled the journey of this Seven year, I’ve looked backward at our collective events and have chosen three categories that to me illustrate the “unseen”, spiritual and metaphysical aspects of Seven energies at play on a large scale. 

The first event relates to our internet which, of course, we all rely on worldwide for communication, services and information.  In essence this invisible energetic force not only offers us miracle connections and supportive services but also at present makes us vulnerable to having our personal and financial security breached by unknown assailants.  The year began with the publicity and aftermath of the massive customer data breach suffered by Target.  (This event occurred in December 2013 showing the Seven energies already emerging.) Some estimate that as many as 70 million people were affected.  Perhaps you were one as I was.  In addition to multiple other security breaches publicized throughout the year we are ending 2014 with another major breach reported by Sony Pictures this time with the hackers allegedly being politically motivated North Koreans.

Internet security as a major issue creates a “mystery” to be solved for which we will need some major technology advances.  (Seven loves mysteries and also fosters scientific research.)  Interestingly, as we head into 2015, an Eight Universal Year which brings to the forefront issues of money, justice and large corporations, I read where Target is being assaulted with litigation as an aftermath of their security breach debacle as customers have filed class action suits for damages, and the banks are suing Target for remuneration for their massive expenses in having to address customer issues related to the data breach and create new credit cards for the millions affected.

The second episode revolves around the major unsolved mystery that made headlines this past year:  the baffling disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370.  In my own mind I saw a similarity to the many reports of disappearing aircraft and boats in the area known as The Bermuda Triangle over the years.  Did that flight indeed disappear through a portal into another dimension I wondered?

It turns out, I’m not alone.  The website CP World reports the following: 

“In a recent poll conducted by CNN, 1 in 10 Americans believe that "beings from another dimension, time travelers, or aliens" may have had something to do with the plane's disappearance. 21 percent of the people polled claim that the plane could have landed rather than crashed, and they believe that the people from the flight survived.

Other conspiracy theorists, including website humansarefree.com, claim that the plane may have been hijacked and flown to a remote location. There are also websites that claim that Malaysia Flight MH17, the plane that crashed in a field in Ukraine, is in fact Flight MH370 and that it was deliberately crashed in a "false flag" operation to discredit Russia.

Meanwhile, a new book titled "Flight MH370—The Mystery" suggests that the plane may have been shot down accidentally by US-Thai joint strike fighters in a military exercise in the South China Sea.”

Regardless of what you believe or don’t believe, the legacy of our Seven year leaves us with a major mystery that raises questions about the existence of other worlds and dimensions or unknown conspiracies at play and asks us to seek answers that stretch us to consider possibilities beyond the realm of what is considered valid demonstrable proof in our third dimensional world.

The third event category which I perceive as relevant to the Seven vibration is the event which motivates us to seek spiritual guidance and comfort in the face of circumstances which bring us distress and over which we as individuals do not appear have access to any immediate control to alleviate.  The emergence of the Ebola virus as a threat to worldwide health is one example.  Another is the escalation of terrorism in the Middle East with increased incidents of innocent citizens loosing their homes and being subjected to unspeakable acts of violence, torture and death.

These are the types of events which force us to seek “answers” and solutions from prayer and our sources of spiritual nourishment.  Some will even argue that it is misfortune which activates our compassion and love for our fellow men and which motivates us to improve conditions for all those affected. 

Now let’s briefly examine how this past year affected you personally.  If you were transiting a Seven, Nine or Two Personal Year, chances are you received your own trials and tribulations which prompted you to pray for guidance and support.  (If you’re in this category, the coming Eight Universal Year should be much easier for you, by the way.)  Regardless of your own Personal Year transit numbers, my guess is that you ended this year with a new vision of what is possible for you going forward in time.  Reflect on this, and I believe you will see this is true for you.

Our forthcoming Eight Universal Year supports all of us in taking our visions and manifesting them in reality.  More about this in my next blog entry.
